You gotta love Robin Williams

[hippychick]

You gotta love Robin Williams... Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan .. what we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

Robin William's plan.(Hard to argue with this logic!)

I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.

1.) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega,

Milosevic and the rest of those 'good ole boys,' We will never "interfere"again.

2.) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We

would station troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes in the fence.

3.) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.

We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they are. France would welcome them.

4.) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be

allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more

cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5.) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6.) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise.

This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilder! ness. The caribou will

have to cope for a while.

7.) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8.) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9.) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10.) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH.....learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan.

want a piece of me?'"

Sorry, Robin, but you seem to be taking on the intellectualism of many of your characters.

1.) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic and the rest of those 'good ole boys,' We will never "interfere"again.Stop throwing your toys out the pram and start thinking for yourself.
Begin by including some less palatable 'help' such as Korea and Vietnam before assessing exacly how prompt with help the USA was during WWII - it was nice to make all that money from Lend-Lease before joining in, wasn't it?

2.) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes in the fence.Yeah, not to mention Guantanamo Bay & good ol' Blighty, eh? Perhaps the Mexicans will appreciate the US' foreign nationals detention criteria more than the Iraqis/British et al.

Some may say that I have little right to argue my own 'rightness'; to those I point out that I don't have the platform of those such as Robin Williams from which to poison with my own twisted logic.
Perhaps I'm missing a point, and it's sarcasm, albeit from an unusual source.

Well spotted Arm. :lol:

Robin Williams is an actor not a political activist. Of course many actors nowadays do get political but I never heard of Robin Williams being one of them. :01:

....before assessing exacly how prompt with help the USA was during WWII

But than again, if a certain duo of countries had been prompt if at all in living up to certain mutual defense treaties, WWII could have been averted all together.

robin williams is an unapologetic dyed-in-the-wool san francisco liberal. he'd never write up something like... all of that. the quote at the end, which actually IS one of his jokes, is taken out of context so it sounds like he's supporting the anti-immigrant viewpoint rather than making fun of it.

[hippychick]

You know, even if Robin Williams didnt write this...I agree with alot of what is said.

He does. Maybe I should watch that some time. :shifty:

My only problem with all of this , is us bleeding heart Canandians would pick up the slack! On the asylum seekers and students most likely ! :(

As this seems to be the thread for silly political ideas I saw this one I quite liked.


The headlines say it all. "Man celebrates Bush win with suicide " - "Pubic hair prince set to rule Supreme Court " - "Air travelers to get peanuts and blasts with stun guns."

While W. is claiming a mandate, world+dog appears less assured that a cohesive unity of thought is sweeping the nation. Most notably, calls for secession have reached an all-time high with groups of different shapes and sizes hoping to cleave themselves off from the rest of the idiots.

The Register, for example, has received the exclusive secession blueprint of the New Democrat Outreach Program (NDOP). This plan calls for the well taken care of liberals in the Blue States to unite and let the Red States fend for themselves.

"Perhaps, when you see how dreary your lives have become without us, you will finally develop the spine to fight for your basic, human rights," NDOP writes. "And then we will gladly confront the plutocracy alongside you. We need your help to defeat the Blue Republicans, who, I assure you, are just as decadent as we are, though often richer."

"But until you finally learn to respect yourselves, we can't respect you, and we therefore can't be bothered to give a rat's ass about you."

Another popular secession proposal making the rounds comes from a group hoping to divide the upper two-thirds of of North America into the United States of Canada and Jesusland. This plan, much like the first, makes use of the fissure forged between the rich, coastal elites and happily downtrodden folks in middle America. A map depicting the new North America can be seen here.

Neither of these plans, however, takes Mexico into consideration, and that's where Charles Truxillo, a professor of Chicano studies at the University of New Mexico, steps in.

Truxillo is calling for the creation of the Republica del Norte - a new nation that would consist of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and southern Colorado, along with parts of northern Mexico. This state could have Los Angeles as its capital.

"It's not unfeasible as a premise -- and a realistic possibility when you consider global geopolitical trends," Truxillo said, according to the Albuquerque Tribune. "It could happen with the support of the U.S. government."

Remember the Alamo and all that, right.

One idea making its way around Vulture Central calls for a new Taiwanese state in the US. Wouldn't it be something to see Chinese immigrants takeover, say, Maine and then pledge their allegiance to Taiwan. Cheap electronics. Fast delivery times. Bulk loads of high-quality porn. Now we're talking.

There is a lot in it that I agree with too. But every other country should do the same. Send everybody back to where they came from. Close your borders. Only trade in raw materials. Dont give aid to others countries until there are no needy people in your own country.

Do you think I have enough of a CV there to get a job with the Mail?:no:

How far back are you willing to go? Britain would get pretty crowded. So would the rest of Germanic Europe, really. Or maybe all six billion of us could learn to get along in Africa. ;)

Just a thought....so what if america does also do good....does that excuse when it does mischief?

If a doctor invents a cure for cancer...thereby saving uncountable lives not just now but forever more... then one day he goes out with an AK47 and shoots several random innocent people...do we excuse him because of the good he has done?

[Rat Faced]

No one denies the USA does good..

I certainly havent... the Peace Corps as an example.

That doesnt stop me criticising when it does wrong... just like the Good the UK government has done, does not excuse the evil it has been a part in.
