I'm looking to excise the interior of the country and squish the two coasts together along with the great lakes region to form a really cool country free of excessive religious influence on politics. We already have the most educated people and highest average incomes. Do we really need Mississippi? C'mon, who's with me?

We'll also need lots of staples and tape.


me? bitter?
 
How can you be bitter? You won the prediction thread (at least for last night)

Harry -

I'm with you, man, with one proviso. We also eliminate the state that is the home base of the vast woo-woo conspiracy. You know, the one with all the famous beautiful people who promised four years ago to leave if Bush was elected and the lying turds are still here!

"Paging Michael Moore! Paging Michael Moore! Put down that hoagie! Your one-way flight to Paris is boarding now at Gate Z-801. You have the middle seat, between Alec Baldwin and Barbra Streisand."

Are you in?

How about we get rid of Stephen Baldwin but get to keep Alec.

You mean the one responsible for a significant part of the entertainment industri, which is IIRC your second largest export? Can we have it?

Harry, Harry, Harry...Don't be a SoreLoserman. Think of this way. Just like when Vladimir Lenin called American liberals "useful idiots", we "non-religious republicans" call the religious right the exact same thing. LOL!

How about we get rid of the fat one too? The one that played the villain in the Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson classic "Harley Davidison and the Marlboro Man".

Easier than that. Lets just say that on reflection maybe Lincoln was a dolt and the south should feel free to start their own country.

While were are at it they can have the eastern panhandle of W.Va. back. We admit we stole it from Va., and would like to make good.

There's gratitude for you. Man works to get you your own state, gets his brains blowed out for his trouble, and you call him a dolt. What are y'all smoking over there in West (Motto: "Smear of Deer - It's Not Just For Dinner Any More") Virginia?

Hey Harry! I got an idea. Why don't we ship California, Oregon and Washington off to North Korea, the Upper Midwest to Canada, and the Northeast over to France so they can see their policies in action.

News out today! U.S. created 335,000 jobs last month and previous 2 months before that were revised sharply upwards! U.S. unemployment is at 5.5%. Sadly, Germany reported that theirs is at 10.5%. Socialism in action! The Progressives (actually Regressives) must be cheering at the German news!

Nonsense, just send us all to Canada.

Your friends here have already pointed out that the states who voted for freedom rather than Bush are useless and unwanted, so fine, just give us all to Canada.

10.4 million jobs created under Clinton compared to the 1 million jobs lost under Bush

go Socialism!!!

Considering the monumental economic task Germany took upon itself with the reunification, I would say that an unemployment of only 10.5% is very impressive.

Anyone play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in here?

Because you sound like John F. Hickory ;)

Maurice: Mr. Hickory, your views are a little extreme. Plus, I don't believe there are theme parks in Alabama.

John: Then they should stop commin' down my way and build Redneck Land or whatever. D#mn redneck hicks ain't got no class! My views ain't extreme, mister, they're common sense, and what a lot of people would say if they had the guts. If you let people immigrate here from all over the so-called "United States", guess what? There's no more room! We'll be piled on top of each other like they are in Australia. What we're going to do soon is build a river... A river of freedom. A river of hope. A river which runs from coast to coast that cuts us off from the 47 states of wastrels and bad influcences to the north. We are going to cut Florida off from the mainland of our oppressors and float out to sea. Then, the nation of Florida will be free to start over. There're be no long-a## lines at the Long Flume or Pirate Ship ride when I take over! You and the kids will be able to ride the rides all day! We will have a rollercoaster for each and every Florida family!

Maurice: You know, you're bordering on treason. What you are saying is a very naughty thing, and only because here on Pressing Issues do we believe so whole-heartedly in "free speech" are we allowing it.

John: It's the truth, my friend, the d#mn truth, and before you start I am not a racist. I hate everybody irrelevant of other issues, but I especially hate yankees! By which I mean anyone from Georgia or further north. Build your own theme parks, buy your own sun, grow your own d#mn mosquito-infested swamp, pal! We're going to build ourselves a river! FBI, CI- I don't give a d#mn! They can't stop us. You, Shrub! You yellow-bellied, tie-wearing, bribe-takin' hypocrit! What have you done for Vice City up there in Washington?


Sounds like your plan is his plan ;)

Huh? I thought that the marxist/communists/socialists in East Germany with their utopian state would have zero unemployment. What happened? The collective wasn't all that collective? BTW, France's unemployment rate is just about the same as germany's. No unification there. :p :p

Similar to what I said in another post, I'll offer you this as a counterproposal - when you find the knife, you settle for just the U.S. east of the Hudson River. I guarantee you that on Separation Day, tens of millions of people, including millions from California alone, will show up to push you out into the Atlantic!

The collapse of communism. You might have heard about it - I think it was in the news a bit. (As an aside, if you group the economic systems in the old Warzawa pact countries with the economic systems in western Europe, you really don't know what you're talking about. Those were far more different from each other than the economic systems of the US and western Europe is.)

As I said, I think Germany's unemployment rate is impressive considering the economic task it has with the reunification.

Yes, communism collapsed, that scourge of the planet was made extinct mostly by the efforts of a great man, Ronald Reagan. He said "History will show Communism as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history, who last pages are being written as we speak."

It's been said that "communists are socialists in a hurry." How true that is.

Interesting unemployment rate website..

Notice our friend , and favorite land-grabber and wealth-seizer, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe made the top of the list. He's trying for another one of those utopian societies, just like East Germany! Some utopia.

That's certainly what he, and his political heirs would like to claim. Of course some may say that a hugely p155ed off population and the moves towards freedom initiated by Gorbachev may have had something to do with it.

Of course, the winners get to write history, so the U.S.' version of events will undoubtedly become the accepted truth.
