What country is the most problematic for the world?
Not me. And generalizing almost all Indians isn't a particularly appropriate thing to do. In my view the present Communist China would be the biggest threat(unless they have some sort of representative government anytime in the near future). Right now they are both economically and militarily powerful. Recently there was a move by China to introduce Yuan as the world currency. Besides that there are multiple flash points with respect to china i.e., Tibet, Taiwan,North Korea, Human rights, Labor issues, technology spying and so on. And Goldentoad did give lots of valid reasons earlier.
Yep. They Do.. It IS the Tassis themselves..And you can ask the mainland Australians WHY.
But just a Clue.... It's got something to do with a 2nd Head!
Thank the god that she never gave us THAT problem in Bumble Town - NZ..
*ahem* Why, yes, Pearldiver. I think I can answer the question. I am enacting my right to redefine the question back to the original question and forget that Tasmania was mentioned... Now, lemme see, lemme think...the country most problematic for the world...
*scratches head 'til light bulb appears*
Ah - yes...the country that is most problematic in the world, for the world is...
UTOPIA...the place where I come from. Inside of Utopia there are the concepts of perfect peace, perfect freedom, perfect human rights, environment, etc. While we should aim for these things, anyone or any country that actually INSISTS on any form of government to bring about these perfections is problematic to the world.
Nationalism is dangerous to the world - breeds 'competition' and the building of 'national mythology' instead of critical thinking and historical accuracy...technically, I think that MOST countries are detrimental to the rest of the world. Any given place could erupt with nationalist fervor, demand that other nations, races and peoples are inferior to them and create worldwide havoc.
Countries who will not problem-solve with other countries, agree to adaptations, changes, and flexibility are a danger to the world...do I sound like a socialist now?
I'm going back to Utopia now, to my perfect world because I should not have engaged with this topic just because my name was dropped in the forum lol
(Sorry...I became curious as to how I would answer this broad, GIGANTIC question - and now I know...can I try again on an easier question? Can I still be a phone-buddy for the trivia game show? I'll study-up hard over the next month, I promise)
Haha
Must go, U-world is waiting for me.

You would be surprised if I told you that there were many production plants closed even in India and the work was transferred to China. We have "China Bazaar/Market" in almost every major city who sell there goods at half the price of local goods(although the quality is doubtful sometimes). Walmart has tied up with local Indian company now to spread wholesale products to counter the unorganized mushrooming of Chinese goods/shops.
India is also facing the brunt maybe not as much as other countries but still Chinese products have swept India too.OK, I'll try to be polite,
. Uh, do conservatives and liberals HAVE to disagree with everything, or is it just kind of an identity politic you are assuming?
My post read "we have STOPPED" going. Meaning that we must have, some time in the past, So! I may just know after all.
I'm sure you agree, also, shopping locally is probably a good thing,. A place where libs and cons. collide? lol

Sorry for not paying attention in the first place. lol
Seriously, avoid Tes f***ing co too. The least ethical company ever!What I'm saying is that you are assuming many things about the poster you really have no idea about. Therefore, the posts are nonsensical. What you are trying to prove you are trying to prove against a strawman.
You might want to look the term up,. I'm doing research on formal argumentation and it is helpful.
No, sorry. Again. I am doing research on argumentation. I AM interested in it, yep. But a rose by any other name would smell as sweet...or, lol, like straw!
Uh, no. Why no. But how the heck could you know that most graphic designers use Mac computers? Apple. Made in CA. Ahem.
Or that my actual position is that OBVIOUSLY it is hard to be consistent with goods from China. Christ. But goods from China are usually crap. Which is not a good reason to buy merchandise. And actually, it is easy for any one person not to be consistent about anything. But maybe one should try to at least do what they think is right. SO, you make inherent 'psycho' analysis in your sentence long assumptions and binary thought processes and talk to straw.
Happy? Reminiscent of Fightclub and Hemmingway there for ya?
Evidently, where you live must be a very, very boring place,

Moposan- They may have "too many people" but not sure of the "care about" part.
There are problems or opportunities depends on how one sees it. There is a silent minority who try to stand up for more rights and they are considered as "problems" too by the Communist government. In India there is a spiritual saying that goes like this "if someone is polishing the golden cage without caring for the well being of the bird inside then from outside it looks attractive to others who see the shining golden cage but only the bird inside knows that the golden cage means nothing for it as long as it is not well fed or given some freedom". Have a good day. Got to have our dinner now.
I have been to Tibetan Monastery(witnessed the horror pictures) and recently there was 2 decades of Tiananmen square tragedy(which was not even allowed to be covered properly by BBC America). China still has occupied parts of Indian territory too after the Chinese attack. In my office there is a Chinese girl and she hardly knew about Tiananmen square incident till she came to US. The communist government censors and indoctrinates from a very early age. And in fact even now there is very little freedom of information to its own citizens. America will publicly agree since they are joined at the hips because big businesses are tied too closely with governments. There is no doubt that China is an important player in the world affairs(and hopefully it will be equally responsible too). Have a good day.
Thanks Moposan. May you have a great week ahead.
- when i quote authentic references, you blame me for copy n paste and now that i wrote without any reference, you are demanding it. What's going on in your upper portion???
Earnestshub- No matter what myself or anybody else states here, Mr.Usman would only believe what he has been told to believe(and wants to believe) i.e., no point really
And when somebody considers all these outlandish conspiracies as "facts" 
then there isn't much to be gained by engaging in further discussion. Bye I am getting out of here.
Mr.Usman- The burden of proof is upon you. As far as I am concerned most of the things you mention are conspiracies which hardly anybody tends to take seriously. Have a good day.
I guess the original question was meant to be a single choice but then I guess you like multiple choices.
LG- Accofranco seems to be reflecting on the earlier post by lxxy which was in fact earlier posted by Mr. Usman Ali. I am not trying to defend him but just trying to give him a benefit of doubt. Accofranco seems to be a young opinionated impressionable guy who may really not have deep entrenched anti-semitic feelings. Have a good day everyone.
PS: Accofranco, Please refrain from generalizations and such stereotypes aren't improving your personal credibility.
According to you and Bush these are conspiracies but actually these are open secrets
Accofranco- What US has done negative in the world everybody knows but whenever there is a natural calamity anywhere in the world it is the US which is one of the first countries to provide relief and aid. Besides that mostly whenever US kills innocent civilians (sometimes those they fight even strategically place themselves within the civilian quarters) they tend to conduct inquiries and suspend those who are responsible. Have you ever noticed the other side whom they are fighting ever do that? Some of there news channels only try to selectively chose what sound bytes to propagate to there folks so that they get more recruits for there cause. US news agencies are one of the most active in the world and there is no state sponsored filtering/censoring of information(in US) like some of the dictator/communist countries have.
Anyway the point LG raised earlier seemed to be that you justified Hitlers holocaust. In recent days there have been public denials by a certain Catholic priest and also by Iranian leader hence it seems to be a travesty to deny or belittle that such a sad massive tragedy like holocaust ever happened/justified. Have a good day.
PS: I feel protective towards you and like an elder sister took that liberty.Lisa- My younger brother also gets sometimes very passionate and from an emotional point of view I try to understand them. Having said that I don't know how else I should tell someone not to have such feelings against US or any other countries. People in different countries tend to receive news from different sources besides being influenced by there local peer group or family. I guess I try to give benefit of doubt to some folks who don't have adequate exposure. I regret if my speaking in defense of him or saying anything in general has hurt yours(or others feelings) since that wasn't my intention at all. Have a good day.
countrywomen, (I know I said I was leaving the Politics forum, but I saw the comment and wanted to respond.
)
Nothing anyone says hurts me. It bugs the heck out of me. More importantly, though, I think people need to speak up whenever this stuff shows up in "low places". It's too late when some ideas get spread to too many people, to the point where they start to impact the world. I know that the world is full of people getting bad or incomplete information, and I understand that people are going to have misguided beliefs. That's why I think it's time people started making some effort to stand up to those misguided beliefs (and, who knows, maybe actually get some truth to these people). Not that every misguided little person from whatever country is ever going to gain any power in this world; but whoever ran into Hitler and heard his whacked out views should have sat him on bottom long before he ever got into power. Instead, a whole lot of "impressionable" people listened to him and followed him. Others were too complacent for too long.
Misguided people who operate on ignorance and lies have a way of seeking out like-minded people and clumping together in little groups. Everyone else "understands" and "overlooks" because nobody wants to say anything mean or hurt these people's feelings. When it comes to hate speech I don't think that works very well. Being polite and nice and "verbally civilized" only works with other polite and nice and "verbally civilized" people, even if opinions are different. I understand cultural differences and youth, and I know that it is by nothing more than accident of birth that I was born where I was. It happens, though, that I was also born not all that long after World War II, and that I was raised hearing about how important it is not to tolerate grossly misguided hate speech. As I wind up this post, I'm listening to the news story about the shooting at the Holocaust Museum, and someone remarked, "We must remain vigilant against hate....". (They were referring to murderous freak's website.) That's true.
