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.
SourceThe 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.Originally Posted by hippychick
Do you think I have enough of a CV there to get a job with the Mail?
The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.
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.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t

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?

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
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.
