I really hope the US stocks fall more then 10%. They are the ones to blame! And since the Wall Street was closed today we won't notice anything of tomorrow's drop-off on the US stockmarket because they are gonna get what happened to Asia and Europe today! Die in your Kapitalism America!


That's pretty nasty starcraft... you should never wish a recession on any nation. It ruins millions of lives, and is a miserable situation for anyone.

Edit: Also, you can't really blame an entire nation of millions of innocent people on the decisions of its leaders.


This has nothing to do with the government. this crisis is caused by thousands of americans behaving irresponsible with their finances and living over their budget. plus, the us finance sector being dumb and greedy.

for this irresponsible behaviour, the entire world will have to suffer a recession.


The world stock markets plummeted based on the decisions of Bush, and in fact, the decisions of those country's own citizens to scramble to sell stock. In every country a recession is caused by loss of consumer confidence in their investments. You can never wholely blame one person or country for the cause of a worldwide recession, because its caused by the decisions of all citizens.


Read the news lately? Heard whats happeneing in the worldwide finance sector? Citibank anyone? how did that not cause the recession?


You are misunderstanding me. I'm not saying that there isn't blame here for American banks and certain American citizens, particularly the American government. Just saying don't blame an entire country for the decisions of some. With any luck, a new President with some financial saavy can move things along in the right direction.


I totally agree with you on that it wasnt the entire country. thats why i said thousands and not millions...

howevere, a certain mass had to be reached in irresponsible behaviour to have such a huge effect on the financial sector in the us.

and now please tell me the title of the game that was on my mind when i wrote this post.
