You Must All Read This

Right.  As I remember one or two of those IRA fugitive guys came over here and was raising money.  I thought that was terrible. 

Perhaps you all could have got the French  to help with that fight, since they are close by there.

nah - we managed to sort it out ourselves.

and we managed to do it without starting an illegal, offensive war

That you did, after 80 years, and with a little help from George Mitchell and Bill Clinton.

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, Mr Blair said: “I think we get an immense amount out of this relationship, because we believe in the same things, we share the same interests. And, you know, where would we be, as Britain or as Europe, if America disengaged from the world and said, “Well, you guys go and sort out all the problems of the world.”

I just received this eMail that's being sent to the President.

Dear President Bush:

Congratulations on your victory over all us

non-evangelicals.

Actually, we're a bit ticked off here in California, so we're leaving you.

California will now be its own country. And we're taking all the Blue States with us. In case you are not aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, all of the North East States, and the urban half of Ohio.

We spoke to God, and she agrees that this split will be beneficial to almost everybody, and especially to us in the new country of California.

In fact, God is so excited about it, she's going to shift the whole country at 4:30 PM EST this Friday. Therefore, please let everyone know they need to be back in their states by then.

God is going to give us the Pacific Ocean and Hollywood. In addition, we’re getting San Diego. (Sorry, that's just how it goes.) But God is letting

you have the KKK and country music (except the Dixie Chicks).

Just so we're clear, the country of California will be pro-choice, pro-!Removed! marriage, and antiwar. Speaking of war, we're going to need all Blue States citizens back from Iraq. If you need people to fight in Falujah, just ask your evangelical voters. They have tons of kids they're willing to send to their deaths for absolutely no purpose. And, they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their kids’ caskets coming home.

So, you get Texas and all the former slave states, and we get the Governator and stem cell research. (We would love you to take Britney Spears off our hands, though. She IS from the south, right?)

Since we get New York, you'll have to come up with your own late night TV shows because we get MTV, Letterman, the Daily Show, and Conan

O'Brien. You get . . . well, why don't you ask your people at Fox News to come up with something entertaining? (Maybe you should just watch

Crossfire. That's a really funny show.)

We wish you all the best in the next four years and we hope, really hope, you find those missing weapons of mass destruction. Soon. Seriously.

Sincerely,

California

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

lmao ,it is called Canada

[Senna4ever]

Yea! Come on up to the land of free health care, !Removed! marriages, legalized marijuana and Igloo houses! Just don't bring your americentric views with ya!

[SKperformance]

lol igloo houses.

Funny ,i see more siding houses compared to brick ones here.

I was amazed at the (so called ) highend end neibourhood my cousin lives in Jersey and all the houses looked cheap with siding.

Just a random thought

[bartkat]

I wasn't aware of any hight end areas in New Jersey.

Of course you must be kidding. There are parts of New Jersey that have the most beautiful mansions you have ever seen. :whistles:

[SW03ES]

You must be kidding Bart, New Jersey has some of the wealthiest areas in the country. Like Alan said, HUGE breathtaking mansions right on the ocean, beautiful rural estates, huge expanses of beautifully maintained yards...

Not to mention Jersey has the highest average income of any state in the union, INCLUDING CA.

[bartkat]

I live in a Red state. Remember? :D :D

[SW03ES]

Ah! Almost forgot :)

[Senna4ever]

So, all you alienated Yankees...come up to the world of crappy baseball (bye, bye Expos!), a pro football league that consists of 6 teams(!) and high taxes (at least the taxes go to a useful cause). The economy of the country is first world, but the military is third world, though. Help our economy and raise our dollar so I can go to Seattle for some cheap shopping!

WHY MOVE TO CANADA?

Reasons to move to Canada, as cited by www.canadianalternative.com:

1. Canada has universal public health care.

2. Canada has no troops in Iraq.

3. Canada signed the Kyoto Protocol environmental treaty.

4. More than half of Canada's provinces allow same-s*x marriage.

5. The Canadian Senate recommends legalizing marijuana.

6. Canada has no law restricting abortion.

7. Canada has strict gun laws and relatively little violence.

8. The United Nations has ranked Canada the best country to live in for eight consecutive years.

9. Canada abolished the death penalty in 1976.

10. Canada has not run a federal deficit since 1996-97.

We went to Tornoto once. I was impressed how clean it was for a big city, but I wouldn't want to live there. Just don't like wihter that much.

I do meet lots of Canadians in Florida though, usually from January till April.

[SKperformance]

The elderly ( snowbirds) are in florida all winter which is 9 out of 12 months, kidding .

We only have 2 seasons in toronto winter and construction. lmao

I dont; like winter either but i dislike hurricane earthquakes tornado's rednecks and Bush worse.

That would be cool.

I hope that all these whiny americans will keep their words and move to Canada! Then they will really see what the real truth are? The only reason that Canada has not run a deficit is because they are taxing their people to death (and they don't have the need for any defense budget since the big bully americans will protect their asses from any thread:-) Don't get me wrong! I think Canada is a great country of wonderful people but the fact is that Canada is shifting more toward a Socialism Society...

[SW03ES]

Canada has always been a very socialist society, works for them. I personally don't have a problem with it, thats diversity. I do agree that if they had a large military budget to spend on they'd have some fiscal problems but I think saying we "save their butts whenever there's a threat" is a little extreme. First of all Canada doesn't really have a foreign policy, at least not like ours so they don't really HAVE any threats. They're neutral like say Switzerland which has similar social programs to theirs. Being neutral has served Switzerland well.
