As a fellow American, I can say I find the opinion of other countries to be pretty important. Considering that our foreign policies have left bad tastes in a lot of their mouths. You just sound bitter, that's all. Particularly with your opening sentence.Seekster said:
New rule: Those who think that we should ridicule people with opposing political beliefs should stop talking about whats best for the country. I go into fits of conserva-rage that are very hard to stop.AgentNein said:
Give us a couple years. Next chance we get, I'll bet the House and Senate are gonna get switched back over to the Republicans. America wont stand for four years of one party rule, especially the Dems.Leodiensian said:

hungoverbear said:Actually a private citizen can own a fully automatic weapon but there is tons of paperwork involved, all of them cost about as much as a car and are made before 1986, and the license to own them comes with a nice FBI listening van parked across from your house. As far as gun control in America goes or in general is that it's focused on prohibiting legal sales. A criminal is not going to go to a gun store. Fill out the paper work, wait till the national 'instant' background check comes back then spend $600 on a used pistol. then go on a killing spree. most criminals get their guns from a guy in an unlit parking lot in the middle of the night.crimson5pheonix said:Oh i know that, i was implying about the idiots who think we should be able to own AK's and M16's and what not. but hey like i said, i was a wee bit drunk last nighthungoverbear said:
It's not that the beliefs are opposing. See, as people we have the right to decide which beliefs are worth debating with and which are laugh out loud ridiculous. And as long as we keep that out of the government everything is fine.
Sweet. RACIAL JOKES!!
Assuming they went through regular immigration channels, we'd probably take them in; especially if they've got certification in a key skilled trade or profession. (Or if they're so wealthy they'll support themselves; we took in a ton of Hong Kong emigrees I think largely based on the strength of their portfolios and resulting increase in tax base.)black lincon said:
oddly enough, in the 2010 election Illinois might get a lot more republicans in the state congress and senate because our governor is kind of a idiot, you know all those people who Obama was loosely tied to like Tony Rezco and the like(not Bill Ayres,hope I'm spelling that right), yes well our governor has a much more solid connection with them.John Galt said:
Sorry, I guess I worded the question wrong. I meant how would you react to an influx of rednecks who would call french Canadians cowards at any chance they get, and by the way I'm relatively sure that if every republican left the US they would outnumber Canadians, but don't quote me on that.Anton P.
