    Way to go, kid.
    I didn't read much of it to be honest, as I knew it would be a bunch of meritless talking points scrunched together. However, in review, North Korea doesn't fit as an appropriate parallel since government is being crippled as much as business. It reminds me more or less of Mad Max.

    Yes, N Korea wasn't the best of comparisons but I couldn't find anyone else remotely as looney as 9's garbled mash of contradictory ideas.

    As UK citizen, I can't help but support your plan completely.

    1). We can up our armourments manufacturing industry immediately to pick up the deficit of supply that your plan creates, a deficit which should allow us to up our export of arms to such a hgh proportion that the 60% tax we impose upon such exports shouldn't be any problem for the manufacturers. With the extra income we can fix our own budget deficit.

    2). We can nuke Eugene, Oregon for being the originating point of the idea that we would mildly sit back and do fuck all about the US defaulting on it's £834bn debt to us.
    Do you really think we're ever going to pay you or anyone back?!

    Even if we wanted to pay you back-- I don't want to pay you back, by the way-- there is no way we will ever be able to pay you back.

    Think about it this way.

    Let's say some guy has a 15 Trillion dollar credit card balance. He makes the minimum monthly payment on it and then turns around and uses it to buy more stuff with it. He hits his credit limit and asks for them to raise his credit limit, and strangely enough, they do. Year after year he continues to spend freely with his huge credit card, always going deeper and deeper into debt and never paying off the balance.

    In the past he had a high paying job in manufacturing, and maybe back then he could have paid off the balance at some point, but now he has a crappy job in the service industry at Wal-Mart where his company imports crappy things from China and sells them to stupid customers in the United States. There is no way he can ever make enough money to pay it back, but yet the credit card company keeps raising his credit limit, over and over again.

    Does that sound familiar to you?

    Does it sound like the credit card company (foreign investors) will ever get paid back?

    As for nuking Oregon or Arizona, a part of any good defensive strategy would be M.A.D., and I'm sure Clocky's state, Colorado, would come to our defense as well, if we were ever attacked. He's very fond of us.

    Hey Clocky, whatever happened to Lucifer?

    You do realize #7 would heavily handicap the private enterprise of the for profit prison system, right? Didn't think you'd be one to support harming big business.
    I knew you would like #7 !

    I have to admit, I laughed at this one. This was pretty good.



    And no. Israel is toast under my plan. They should have been cut loose a long time ago. They are just like the war on drugs-- a hopeless cause that should be abandoned.

    Here's a new movement: Rename the topic title to "Roll back the U.S. to the 1860's".

    I'm sorry to learn of your son's diminished learning capacity, Rej.

    You assumed it for the wrong reasons. If you understood what the drug war was about, your caricature would be behind it 100 %, with a mantra and all.
