the reason i ask is because i was out drinking with my friends a few weeks ago and a couple of American girls walk in and go up to the bar and order a drink so i continued to drink my pint and speaking to my friends when one of the girls goes wow great accent so i turn round and go thank you and as soon as i said that the whole group of girls crowded around me saying how cute i was and how sexy my accent was so i actually went over to there table and had a couple of drinks with them and one offered me her number but i declined because i already have a girl so i just wanted to ask is it true ?

1. Border Security!
2. Domestic manufacturing jobs are going overseas.

I have no beef about the war overseas since our armed forces are winning.

I'm feel like frigging Lou Dobbs here!

this is what it says on wiki

superpower is a term first applied in 1944 to the United States, the Soviet Union, and the British Empire. Following World War II, the British Empire ceased to exist as its territories became independent, and the Soviet Union and the United States were regarded as the only two superpowers, then engaged in the Cold War

OK then, I was taught that to be a superpower one required a significant amount of land, resources and more importantly nuclear devices.

yes your right about that however the British empire had significant land resources from the lands it conquered and without the British there would be know nuclear devises one of Americas terms in coming into the war was that the British had to surrender its atomic research to them if the UK had made an atomic bomb a few years early they would still be a superpower today ;)
