So in 50 or 60 years will people say "it's the soup American", like how "soup nazi" type things?

[SayWhatYo]

or "omg, my teacher is such an American"... heh Of course I'm kidding, well, sort of. Seriously though, how do you think the US will be viewed 100 years from now, or even a thousand years from now. I was reading about various civilizations on wikipedia for about five hours the other day, and I couldn't help but wonder what would be said about the US in future(assuming we don't all die off somehow)... I mean, will it just be a quick paragraph in the future history holographic-books?

1. Only if there's a future version of Seinfeld to make the term popular. - n/t

[Cha]

2. No, but they'll still be sayin'

"it's total buSHIT".

[The Vinyl Ripper]

3. "Good Americans" n/t

[angrycarpenter]

4. No holographic books after the next big war.

The general widespread strife that is about to occur will depress technical innovation for many years. well except for weapons of course.

[tridim]

5. Everything BushCo is, is already a derogatory term

"American" isn't one of them.

[whistle]

6. In 50 to 60 years America will be a chapter in History Text books of

...a failed corporate empire that assured its own death because it believed the myths it created about its own greatness and refused to see and change the lies it actually lived.

7. We are already ruptured ducks. Bankrupt and no law needs to be obeyed, the Constitution is still

"just a goddamned piece of paper," and no habeas corpus, so somebody can start writing already.

[Colorado Progressive]

8. I think the correct term would be "soup Neocon". After the political party/group.
