Why having the Former Soviet Countries holding all the titles is a good thing:

True but there are people who work 10x more then Americans, 10x harder, and have 10x less then the Americans

10x more?

Maybe you are right, just going by recent studies based on at least, the countries that have some influence.\
Americans usually work the longest hours and take the least amount of vacation.

Also, have lots of friends from lots of different countries that say that in their former countries, people tend not to want to work, that it is the minority that want that work.

Americans don't have "FIESTA"

And, if these people are working so hard, then something is wrong with them if they are still poverty stricken...something is wrong with that analysis.

True, most of America doesn't really care about what goes on outside of America because they are to worried what is going on in their own country and lives.

they are worried about their own lives true, but dont fool yourself into thinking most americans are worried about what is going on in our country. if they were, they would vote.

LOL, True

That is a sign of ignorance: to feel comfortable in thinking nothing can harm you is dangerous...it is when you don't pay attention it comes back to haunt you...to let those in charge basically rule your politics { meaning the Rich}, it is dangerous...you are basically letting them cast your vote because you are to lazy to do a little research, or caring.

Like the 911 event: I wasn't to surprised, yet it seemed most Americans were shaken.
Maybe it just shows how poor our educational system is...it seems History is not taught.

the gap between rich and poor in america and the power that goes with it has become insurmountable in this country so fast that people cannot do much to change it anymore. we have been a reactive country and not proactive in so many ways, the decisions that are being made now and the leaders who are being put into place are so bad that history cannot keep up. people will look back 20 years from now and wonder how the hell america let things get so bad so fast.

but ****, according to the model some people are putting forth, a great economic depression and mistreatment of the low and middle class may make for developing some good fighters!

If we know one thing about these Former Soviet athletes is that they have big egos...they will want to be #1...if it is a team sport they will win as a "Team", but when it is individual competition they are not satisfied with their "Commrade" sharing the spotlight.

Ex: look at Female Tennis...all of these Russian girls love winning titles, but especially when they play another Russian girl...I hear it all the time in interviews where a girl with "OV" at the end of her name is thrilled to beat another Russian...they also seem to play harder.


THEY WILL ALL WANT TO FIGHT EACHOTHER AND UNITE THE TITLE, TO MAKE ONE CHAMPION.

and that emoticon is outta place
