US do most of invasions in the world nowadays so it’s funny to recreate an old movie when there were 2 superpowers at the time and remake it in a modern one superpower time.

China has problems controlling and ruling a 1.4 billion population. Adding a few more hundreds of million in a short time is not really viable.

Fallout 3 also is ridiculous in its history as well.

No… i’m a dude as well… i’m just saying i understand females like small, cute, cuddly things like teddy bears and such. I did say “it would be a nice icebreaker with the ladies”…lol. And why would you be the bad guy…unless you were the one black and white gremlin…i think his name was stripes.

Well of course your going to be freaked out… your a dude but if just like what Vic was saying about us guys not understanding the womens side in jennifers body i do understand that they do like cute,cuddly things. Even more so if they can interact with you/them… on the plus side it can entertain me by reanacting the rambo movies for me since he liked it so much in “Gremlins 2″. Maybe pour some water on it and have some sort of battle royale and have people betting on them… possibilities are endless… all you have to do is dream.

@ken j
i do fantasize that… except for the “them trying to kill me” part. Other then that gizmo’s just cute… plus it could always be an icebreaker with the ladies… “Hey girls want to see my gremlin?”. They’ll have a face full of disgust at first but when i pull out the magical mogwai that is gizmo they’ll all be “oohs” and “aww’s”.

*gasp* You liked that movie? That means you must fantacize and wish that there would be these gremlin creatures that if you feed them after midnight or get them wet that they will transform and try to kill you… What a weirdo… *shakes head*

Well as far as an economic war, we’re still fighting it. Real or not, every time someone in America gets laid off and given the excuse, it’s the foreign competition, is another casualty of it. It’s interesting that T. Clancy’s “The Bear And The Dragon” hasn’t been made. Of course its story is only average, but who knows how it would play in the Baltic states??!

@Ken j
So hypothetically ( showing different ways in which the word you invented can be said) speaking if a gremlin appeared at my house… Do the whole “not get it wet” rule still apply like in the movie or does he in real life have a new set of rules…?

I still love how we can’t watch a movie about a hypothetical situation (there goes that term I “invented” since it seems you don’t understand it) without wishing it would really happen. So I guess all fans of Blade Runner is wishing that we invent expendable humanoid robots that will gain personalities and start killing people. Everyone who liked the original Red Dawn wished Cuba would invade America with Russia backing it. Everyone who liked Terminator 2 is wishing for a nuclear war between humans and robots, etc. etc.

Just because people want to watch this movie has nothing to do with any kind of secret desire that it would really happen, nor does it mean we believe it is even probable. I’m sure nobody was excited for District 9 because they wished an alien ship will get stranded over a country in Africa. And I’m about 80% sure people waiting for Batman 3 doesn’t really think a guy will dress up like a bat to fly around some city fighting mobsters and criminals with weird nicknames like Joker or Scarecrow…

But I guess if you have no rebuttal against our actual argument and would rather change the topic to something that’s easier for you to argue against, such as claiming we’re all delusional for thinking China is going to invade us and “wishing” it would happen… hey, they have a name for that, it’s a little logical fallacy known as strawman, or strawperson if you want to be PC, lol.

But anyway, it’s a pretty poor attempt to divert attention and I doubt anyone here is dumb enough to fall for that one.

And if you really want to say what I’ve said is wrong, prove it. Because I hope you know that just because you say that what I’ve said has no weight in a matter-of-fact kind of way, doesn’t mean anyone will actually believe it. If what I’ve said is so easy to shoot down, fire away, should be easy right?

I’m up for a good discussion, but when you try to claim that I’ve said that I hate Chinese people, then continue to waste your time basing your entire “argument” around that point that I’ve never made or even implied, then I can’t even think of a response that isn’t at least slightly smart-ass. Give me a real argument and I’ll take it 100% seriously, I promise.

Yes, that could also be a possible scenario.

Speaking of these kind of hypothetical situations, Fallout 3′s storyline is exactly about a “Great War” between the U.S./China.

The fall of Rome caused by!???

1.Economic (lack of circulating currency and trade deficit, and other factors not clearly economic, like environmental change and decaying infrastructure)

2.Military (citizenship granted to all reduced the incentive to join the army)

3.Gradual transformation (it never fell or fell to Islam).

4. Hugh Elton in “Collapse of The Roman Empire” wrote; “the cause of the Fall of Rome lies in financial difficulties peculiar to the West. For those looking for a single cause, the best single explanation would be Poor Leadership.”

Do you think divisive partisan attitudes whether they be leaning left or right won’t send America to the same oblivion as ancient Rome? The Democratic experiment moves on, will it fissure into a totalitarian dictatorship, and a monolithic socialist state? Maybe will just hang a sign out front Out Of Business: Sold Out. Time will tell.

Read these;

“Guns ,Germs, and Steel”
“Collapse”
“Ethics: The Heart of Leadership”
“Disciplined Minds”

PG, one other reason China might invade is over a collapse of the US dollar…
Resulting in a massive depression in China.

There’s a huge Chinese population in California. Why would fellow Chinese inflict that kind of terror on their own?

China bringing its millions of troops across the sea would require massive amounts of food and water to feed. They control California for those resources and there will probably only be enough to get by through the war let alone salvage the rest. China has better things to do than invade some country let alone for food and water.

Only plausible scenario is if China decides to use violence and force with Taiwan, then can I only see a China/U.S. war escalating.

A country that is overly concerned about its international image and trying to establish itself as a legitimate super power won’t be shooting itself in the foot anytime soon I don’t think.

Alright, this debate is getting silly. Ish like this can go on forever on both sides. If you fantasize about a war of this magnitude, fine. If you have interest in this movie, no problem. If you wanna go fight against a Commie invasion, more power to you. If you have anti-China sentiments, there are lots of political sites out in the interwebs. If you want to be angry at someone not embracing more of their American side, have at it. I’m gonna go browse the other topics on this FILM site
