I am always amazed by trains and these speed records they break. Japan with its Bullet, France with its TGV and now CHINA STEPS UP and surpasses all with the Guangzhou to Wuhan line with an average speed of 220 MPH..Whoosh! Can you say fast? While america worries about war, fraud, waste etc China is moving politically, socially, economically ahead by first thinking of it populations needs. hint hint america
I guess this is where China is spending that two trillion american dollars it has....
CHECK IT OUT!!!

Yet they still can't make descent cars...it shows you where the money has been put. But did they also skip corners in building this as well, or emergency and accident protocaol?

China has a very well line of cars they make...they just are not sold in america...YET? And before you condemn them remember Korea produced the Hyundai and everyone laughed and called them cheap..well guess what? Hyundais are EVERYWHERE now and have quite a reputation as a quality car and they have even stepped into the LUXURY CAR MARKET. Where are americas cars? Either in the autoshop or the trash heap.
So far a skipping in quality? China makes americas products to the standard america wants. You want cheap shit...you get cheap shit. You want quality stuff? Don't expect to get it at HANDOUT PRICES... This train is QUALITY. Running at 220 MPH you have no room for error, failure or cheapness.

Chinese company Geely is in the process of buying Volvo from Ford. Chinese company BAE bought Saab tech from GM. So the Chinese are moving ahead in those areas as well.
I don't understand why USA don't get into high speed trains. I've written about this before. It just doesn't add up. It would shorten the distance between major cities. Ramp up inter city and inter state partnerships.

Exactly, Geely, cars are pathetic, they may try and use the tech to gain a foothold in the American market...Saab, has been shut down by GM, last I heard.

The big future markets are probably China and India.
I don't think Geely is looking at the US market with Volvo. Ford already failed there. I think it's China where they're setting their aim. And that's their official strategy as well.

GM has made a impact with Buick, due to historical reasons...Buick is the number selling brand there (I take it foreign or domestic, I 've read several reports, but i can't confirm it with official numbers), And Audi is strong as well. Volvo actually was doing good. Ford failed because it was picking up too many brands, and it's core cars sucked blue donkey balls. Jacque Nasser had the right idea of putting Lincoln, Volvo, Jag, Aston Martin, and Range Rover in the Premier auto group, but Lincoln got no real new cars accept for the LS, Jag needed the F type, and in fact is why Nasser was ousted---due to a comment he said that Jaguag should produced the F type, that they would be stupid not to.
Greed is what has hemmed up all car companies, Toyota included...the number one spot is wha they all seek to obtain.

USA empire is declining let's face it. All Obama's tough talk about rebuilding America's infrastructure was just that - talk.
The problem is we have morons / criminals in control of the country. It is as simple as that. Everyone should stop criticizing the politicians policies and instead demand there imprisonment. We all should be deciding which prisons they go to instead. I am serious it is at this point. All the trillions of dollars of fake money printed is useless.
Think about it. How much can you build with $1 trillion? An airport used to be about $1-3 billion. So you could have 500-1000 freaking airports for $1 trillion!! But what did we get? A fake rally in the stock market and billions paid to the banksters in bonuses.
And now USA is even deeper in the hole at over $12 trillion and nothing really to show for it. That's right, nothing to show for it.
I'm sorry guys, your country is being controlled by infants that have no clue what they are doing. Either that or it is intentional because some puppet master wants it that way. That's why I am saying choose a cell for them. Decide if they share a toilet and how many times a day they get food.

Because this is another example of how and why other nations are SUCCEEDING while america FAILS at everything it does.

The United States is far to spread out to have high speed trains in mass. Ill be honest it would be nice in certain areas but we do have plenty of public transportation in major cities.

yeah RIGHT man...my girl rides it to DC everyday and she's ALWAYS in a bad mood when she gets home...
i haven't ridden the metro since 5 yrs ago when i went to watch the 4th of july fireworks...
even then....i left before the finale and hauled ass to the metro before the crowd got to it

You're obviously desperate and since I work in medical I had to work on Christmas day and I made all of one post that day. I do find it freakishly weird that you take the time to look for such things though. What does that say about your own pathetic life...Lonely, Alone, Miserable, Unmarried, No children, no friends/family.... You're a sad dude BF. I would not wish your life on a dog.
BTW why are you always answering my posts? Again strange behavior for someone who supposedly hates me so much.

I thought he was claiming to be some kind of counselor/social worker. He probably changes careers a lot to keep you, BF, and the rest of you Illuminati scum (yes, I'm on to you guys) from catching up to him as he enlightens the world with truth.

Blind leading the blind.
Decline of economy in the USA. Devaluation of the dollar versus the Euro will continue. China's rise (represented by Magog in Ezekiel) is imminent. Rise of the European Union, which is the same region controlled at one time by the Roman Empire, has been prophesized by Daniel.
Daniel 2:40-43..And the fourth kingdom (ROMAN EMPIRE) shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron (EU), the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron (resembling the Roman Empire, rising from the same area) shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
USA in time will step aside as a world power, China and Russia will rise. They, however, will be destroyed by Israel with God's help as foretold in Ezekiel chapter 38 and chapter 39. The EU will then rise to power under the leadership of a man with great wisdom and intelligence who will unite the entire world under one currency, one government and bring peace to even the tumultous conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. He will assume total control for 3 1/2 years. Controlling the monetary resources and accounts of nations, as well as individuals. That man will be the Anti-Christ.
Take heed, fools. Everything that you are seeing. The rise of China, Russia, EU along with the decline of the American economy, the undercurrent which will soon swell up to replace the American dollar with the EURO has been foretold thousands of years before by the Bible. Technology in place to keep track of every cent you own. You see commercials every day showing how much easier/more convenient it is to pay with a bank card than it is to carry cash. Take heed.
Psalm 53:1: The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
There is none who does good.

Are you seriously trying to tell us that some old book written 2000+ years ago could have any foresight into what is happening in our current times? ???
What are you - 5 years old?
FFS man, snap out of it.
You gotta be fuking kidding me. Right?
BTW, happy new years to each and everyone on this board.
A special good wish goes out to our friend in Iraq HH6 - be safe big man.

That is not just any book.
But, by all means, explain how that book predicted the rise and fall of kingdoms hundreds and even thousands of years before such kingdoms rose. If you take your time to read it and study it, you will find references to 1 government, 1 currency and 1 leader in the final days. And everything that you see now, politically and economically, is pointing to that occurring.
But, hey. You need to walk by faith not sight. So, I don't expect you, a carnal man with ONLY a carnal mind, to understand or even believe it.
The Bible speaks about people like you:
1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
The Bible also advices me to do this with people that mock,ridicule and will never believe the Gospel:
Matthew 7:6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!

The only problem is that trains, regardless of how fast they go, you have to go where the tracks go, when the train goes. Automobiles have a steering wheel so you can go where you want to when you want to and you can stop whenever and whereever you please...

Trains and their destinations can be made to go and created ANYWHERE. Sadly in america you have been led to believe that a car is the only means of transportation. People however rarely go anywhere that trains do not already service. Planes are nothing more than pollution spreaders, whereas trains are highly efficient and can carry people from the center of one city right into the center(downtown) of another city. Planes often land miles away from the downtown, commercial and residential areas, so a car (taxi) is still necessary to get you to where you need to go. These modern trains despite their speed have interiors like fine restaurants with all of the fixing of: restaurants, dinner cars, clubs, sleeping births, sight seeing cars, modern bathrooms and even social cars for people to meet and get to know one another (a rolling MATCH.COM...lol). Because trains pick up people in major cities...often you can disembark and sightsee even say overnight(s) in these city(s) and continue you destination on another train(s) to your final destination. High speed trains in america could be an incredible asset, but I think the airline industry would fight/bribe politicians not to approve such a thing. Sad situation...as most americans speak without ever having experienced the fast smooth travel of a train... I think once you actually travel one one of the worlds high speed trains: France TGV, Japan's Bullet and now China's Rocket, your opinion will change dramatically

Lets see what you think of that plane trip should mechanical failure strike that plane mid trip! I haven't heard of anyone surviving a plane crash, but plenty have survived a rail derailment.
Second...while you think you are saving time and getting there faster by plane in all honesty if you calculate the time wasted getting groped, x-rayed, screened, delayed, waiting on the tarmac etc you would already have arrived at your destination by HST. With China's new ROCKET traveling at 220 MPH after 5 hours of travel time you would have gone over a thousand miles. You spend two hours in the airport just going through the screening process and waiting, another hour in the plane waiting to get passengers seated and carry ons in storage, another hour (if you are lucky) taxiing and waiting on the tarmac, then another hour or two flying, then another hour getting off the plane into a taxi to get to your hotel, All total you have wasted 7 hours getting to your destination. The same one thousand mile trip would only take 5 hours and you would end up right in the downtown area of the city you are traveling to (Chicago) on HST.

Good point, up to last year, i logged 30k to 50k frequent flyer miles each year for about a decade. It never happened once. In fact don't studies show air travel is safer than auto travel? Besides, as far as sabotage or terrorist potential, who's know if some NWO looney wouldn't blow a section of the rail in some remote location on the way? :D

The problem with that is they won't have a direct "track" to chicago. It will stop in many places and the security would likely be similar.
But nice try anyway Sam.
The HST is neat. It would be good to have one from SF to LA.

Good point, up to last year, i logged 30k to 50k frequent flyer miles each year for about a decade. It never happened once. In fact don't studies show air travel is safer than auto travel? Besides, as far as sabotage or terrorist potential, who's know if some NWO looney wouldn't blow a section of the rail in some remote location on the way? :D
If there are any explosions or LOONS on the train...check their IDs for the CIA stamp. Also even if someone blew up a section of a train or an entire car the vast majority of passengers will still go UNHARMED. What part of a plane can be blown up without causing the whole plane to crash? BTW Train travel is the SAFEST OF ALL!!!!!
The problem with that is they won't have a direct "track" to chicago. It will stop in many places and the security would likely be similar.
But nice try anyway Sam.

Of course trains have direct links/tracks to any and all major cities. If a train leaves Los Angeles it can at some point through a track switch travel north easterly to Chicago. You don't need a separate line of tracks from Los Angleles to take a train to Chicago and another line of tracks from Los Angeles to go to New York and another line of tracks from Los Angeles to go to Dallas etc etc >:( >:( >:( Where is your logic? A simple "branch" of tracks off of the same line that goes to new York will work excellently. Anyway what is the need to fly to Chicago for? You waste more time, go through more hassle, create more pollution and still must drive to your final destination once the plane lands... So far as security goes...once again if there are any "events" check the WELL DRESSED MAN..he will be the CIA agent that orchestrated the whole matter

You mean like blowing up a section on a bridge? Derailing a high speed train will likely cause plenty of deaths.
It would be a great target fo terrorists if there were thousands of miles of track in remote areas where 200 mph trains travel.
But i do agree with you. As it stands, in America with its slow trains, train travel is the safest.

It still wouldn't be feasible. Too many tracks would be needed for too many trains. Air travel works better.

Come out of your cave and evolve...your mind can't handle this level of understanding.

Perhaps you are right,
I cannot handle moonbot mentality, ceding sovereignty, Biological warfare event, etc.... I'm not plugged into your looney tune sites.
I made very logical points. Too much for you handle because you never leave the basement.
Interesting. I actually tried to have a conversation with you. It didn't take long for you to say something stupid and then for me to point it out and then you revert back to your usual. HAHAHAHAHA exposed.

If you tried with all of the few operating brain cells in your ass, to sound logical, you would still, in the words of SPOCK, be ILLOGICAL...lol
