If we're going to mess with other people's business, then parts of Africa need help. Genocide is pretty crappy, and the world kicked Hitler's ass for it. Guess Africans are less important.

Cuba.

turtle777 · Oct 5, 2005, 12:34 PM

Yeah, invade Africa.

Pfff, the US came with Iraq to its limits, so invading a whole continent should be fun...

We can do an exchange. We'll take bananas and oranges in exchange for Texas and Florida. They gave us a discount on California so all is equal now.

i hope we don't invade anyone else, probably won't happen but i guess as long as the government has its money trees we can keep doing it

Was that for real? Is the average "man in the street" American so ignorant as to not know basic geography - how could they not know the place they were pinning the markers on was Australia?

Perhaps the USA should invade themselves?

There are plenty of shows that do that. And it is not just the average idiot on the street. I saw a show where they went to universities and ask students majoring in subjects "Should Canada switch to a standard 24 hour time or stick with their 25 hour time?" None of them caught on. Even worse they ask the geography teacher of 20 years and he was equally clueless.

My friend did the same for a comedy piece video. She went to buffalo and CLEARLY ask Americans "Would you vote for a potential President if he was HETEROsexual". Of course they all thought Homosexual and many said "no that's sick".

One lady even said she was voting for Clinton (this was in the last round of elections BTW).

Please, its not America. It's every county, ethnicity, and gender. The majority of you are stupid.
All these years of people beating the word "equality" into your head makes you believe there is no hierarchy in the world. Guess what? There is.

"Average" is not a good word and the sad part is the bottom half is worse off than you.

King Bob On The Cob · Oct 5, 2005, 07:06 PM

We didn't know about the genocide til the war was almost over. We kicked Hilters ass because France and Great Britian owed us alot of money and we wanted to make sure they could pay us back.

d4nth3m4n · Oct 5, 2005, 07:15 PM

wow, twice.

and the swear filter has grown up a lot.

You have a fetish about other people's mothers.

Were you ignored by your own? Is that the problem?

This could be the cause of your own sexual inadequacies.

Yes, can you breast feed me?

Now?

PacHead · Oct 5, 2005, 10:57 PM

Yep, there's quite a few countries which deserves to be invaded. Any one of them will suffice for starters. Eventually they will all have to be dealt with.

Not to mention he must have been incredibly stupid not to see "(oops, please move to the political forum )" before anyone even posted in it

JoshuaZ · Oct 5, 2005, 11:04 PM

How about Japan! Oh wait. Been there, done that.

How about India? I mean, think of the tech market! Tech support market!

If they want exotic it's Hawaii.

That's not my experience. Many Americans may never travel outside the U.S. at all but those who do can be experienced in the wild even in the most remote areas of our beautiful little globe. I've often found the encounters most enjoyable.

Now about that invading question. No more military invasions.

That's funny. The times I left the US and entered a foreign country they were more than happy to take my US dollars. Actually, they preferred them to their own currency.

Mexico?

oh, and I almost forgot. The reason many companies in "foreign" countries take dollars is because they are simply ripping you off. It's much wiser to use the local currency. One example is that when I worked in the liquor store and the dollar was at about 1$ = 80isk. If someone wanted to buy with dollars we were fine with it but we dropped the exchange rate to 1$ = 60isk. So as a friendly advice, always use the local currency if you want to save money.

The US should invade Israel, then the Westbank, Gaza and Golan, then Lebanon and Syria and as last one there Jordan, and unite all these countries under the name Syria or Palestine and establish a constitution-system with separate powers of legislation, jurisdiction and execution, with free speech, freedom of religion... and off course dismantle all WMD's there.

Next step off course would be to invade Checnya and to defeat russian forces there and to dismantle chechnien rebel-groups and to help in making Chechnya an independent nation...

In Africa there are also some places that need an invading and liberating force...

All things considered, maybe its time for the US to have another civil war

hehe...Ok I just watched the movie "gods and generals" and ok, it was REALLY boring, but just imagine if CNN and BBC covered it, it would be priceless!

Uh... no.

I negotiated prices in local currencies first and then, knowing the current exchange rates I offered a slightly lower price offering US dollars instead of the local money. YMMV.

See what happens when you assume something.

You've been ripped off so many times buddy. Furners are great at the money shuffle and they make you think your walking away from a sucker when you just got bamboozled.

Where the fekk do you travel to? New jersey?

"Buddy"?!?! I don't think I know you well enough to call you "buddy".

You can't even spell correctly, and you're telling me how it all went down when you have no idea of the situation? Try your little game somewhere else.

BTW: I've never been to Jersey. Is that where you are from? I probably will never visit if that is the case.

Knocking someone's spelling or young age means you lose.

You're shooting blanks buddy.
