Topic: Independence - a good idea ? Posted: April 15 2011 at 12:40 |
USA has gone mad about the royal wedding over here with a very naff TV drama series, dolls and wall to wall coverage in the media. Far more so than we living on these islands. Is it not a good idea to give up this silly indiependence thingy and finally pay for the tea previously fed to the cod and haddock in Boston harbour ? I know you hardly can afford these ten thousand dollars (including interest). But giving up this childish indiependence idea and grow up would still save you for a lot of bother.
Return to being a British colony and you will be forgiven. Or what do you think ? Should USA return to being a British colony or should they continue this silly rebel indiependence thing ? Debate ! Edit: Had to make myself clear enough for the rebels to the west to understand me. Sorry rebel.....

I was thinking of splitting the U.S even further. It's too big.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

It'll happen once the US is unable to pay its debts.

The Isle Of Man is a good tax shelter. I think that the Cayman Islands, Isle Of Man and Norway could live in harmony but no nukes. But they would have to have an annual Rammstein Christmas concert with Tom Waits as a special guest.

Is this a failed attempt at a joke?

I think the Vikings discovered Newfoundland but then they discovered it was a wee bit too frosty for them

I don't think they can pay off a debt that's so big that you have to make up a new number. Gazillions - isn't that the official debt right now  ? You mean once the other nations finally decide to cash in.

Will all of the US come under our rule or will some off it have to go back to Mexico? Alternatively, if they like our royals so much they can have them - Please! Much better solution.

At first I thought you were going to ask if Scottish Independence was a good idea. To which I would respond YES!
It is well known that I support Scottish Independence with a passion.

The West Coast should definitely be a different country. Those people are idiots.
