Q. Please read all of the details before answering the question and tell me what you think of my own thoughts on the matter please. Thank you.
Because of this, from what I understand, many people assume that countries will have to keep lending money to the US so that the US economy doesn't end up collapsing.
I don't buy into the idea that countries need the US. The US appears to be the consumer in this global system, consumers can be replaced though. If the US doesn't consume, someone else will, there is a ton of demand out there, even if prices have to be lowered or currencies revalued to a higher level.

Question written on March 22, 2009
A. Americans buy a whole lot of things that they don't need.
Kids received mountains of toys on Christmas and birthdays. Many parents would go to a store for regular errands, and if their child was along, they would buy a toy or two. New parents are inundated with baby products, and newly-married couples are given a lot of household goods--many of which they'll never use.
Working at a department store, I have seen parents come in with sheets of computer paper filled with a list of things that the child wants for Christmas. And that is only for one child. The parents would buy everything on that list--at least several hundred dollars worth, but sometimes several thousand dollars worth.
Wedding registries contain large lists of relatively useless items. Items like waffle irons, indoor grills, deep fryers, and fine china will rarely or never be used, but they are almost always purchased.
Baby registries contain large lists of relatively practical items, like cribs and play yards, but also contain a swing AND a bouncer, or an infant car seat AND a convertible infant to toddler car seat, or even a compact stroller AND a full-size one. And many people ignore the registries and buy mountains of baby clothes, all in newborn size, which the child will only fit into long enough to wear each outfit once or twice.
And that's just gift items. We throw out our clothing as soon as it gets a hole, even if the hole is on a seam and easily repaired. We throw out towels, sheets, and underwear the moment it gets stained, even though no one will see the stain but us. We purchase clothing that looks nice on the rack, but horrible on us and that we will never wear. We match our bedding and upholstered furniture to our curtains, walls, and carpet--so if a sofa wears out, we will go out and buy new carpet, draperies and wall paint in addition to a new sofa, loveseat, and chair set so that everything matches.
We always want the best and newest electronics. Every time someone renews their cell phone contract, they get a new cell phone, even if the old one works fine. When flat screen TV's came on the market, people flocked to buy them, even though their old tube TV's still worked fine. People line up to wait to get the newest video game system, even though they already have one that they were happy with until now.
Almost all these things are made in other countries.
We are wasteful to an extent that no one else is. This is what makes us such good consumers. And I honestly can't see people in Europe, where the homes are smaller and the environment is a bigger concern, going out and wasting as much stuff as we do, even if they have the money.

Help with Greek translation needed.?
Q. Hi. We are traveling to Greece with our baby this summer and I need help translating some phrases from English to Greek.

Am I just bias or is my child a prodigy?
Q. She was born June 18, 2009 so she is about 14 months, and today she made a rhythm. She has a rattle and a pin head toy and she was making a rhythm and repeating it and dancing to it. It was like (chooka = rattle) (chood= Pinhead)
Chooka Chooka Chood Chood Chood Chooka Chooka Chood Chood Chood Chooka Chooka Chood Chood Chood Chooka Chooka Chood Chood Chood Chooka Chooka Chood Chood Chood
Then when she saw me watching with my mouth open wide she stopped and smiled at me.
Opps thanks..... someone commented I made a typo her birthday is Aug. 18, 200(8) making her 14 months old.
You all are just haters, she may not be a prodigy thats a little extreme, but this is a talent not a fluke because she saw how intrigued I was at what she was doing, now she is making beats with everything.
I believe its in her blood her grandfather is a famous composer in Venezuela and her father is a musician/guitarist. She has been around music since she was in the womb, mostly instrumental rock due to her father composing guitar pieces.
I believe now that we see she has interest in it we will just support her in what makes her happy and we will see where this takes her.
You never know !!!!!!!!
But I do know still water Stagnates.

A. Ignore all the rude people. I think they may be jealous!
Yes, research shows that kids exposed to music in womb and as an infant can actually improve intelligence. This goes for reading to baby's in the womb too.
Sounds like you may have a little musician. Yes, baby's make noises but not all have rhythm. I always hear about famous singers talk about how they started singing or playing an instrument at a very young age.
