it's also worth noting that no one is proposing throwing out the Cubans LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 16/08/2010 08:54:46 PM
Really, the entire issue needs one big sit back to see what can and cannot be done to fix it. What really needs to be done is to find a way to make people not want to leave Mexico (but i don't mean "not move to the US";).

And yah, the stupid anchor baby law needs to be changed. It's totally ridiculous from both sides. My uncle was born off-shores during WWII and, according to my grandmother, it was way too much of a fight to get him naturalized (despite the fact both his parents were American and his father was stationed military).

At what point does it become ok to take over a country? Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 04:25:09 PM 1439 Views
why would we want to make Mexico our problem? *NM* random thoughts - 16/08/2010 04:30:48 PM 423 Views
Yeah that's why i don't want us to take over. I think the US is already too big as is *NM* Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 04:37:41 PM 397 Views
One might argue it already is. The other way around too, though. *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 04:44:19 PM 387 Views
Well, generally it's no longer seen as acceptable. Ghavrel - 16/08/2010 04:38:11 PM 1088 Views
Revolución! *NM* Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 04:47:55 PM 403 Views
I'm fairly sure that yes, the majority of them have national pride. Legolas - 16/08/2010 04:51:38 PM 993 Views
Re: I'm fairly sure that yes, the majority of them have national pride. snoopcester - 16/08/2010 05:11:49 PM 840 Views
Actually, make that number 120 to 150. *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 05:14:15 PM 399 Views
We don't invade countries we can't locate on the map... Isaac - 16/08/2010 06:01:43 PM 1096 Views
So that means there are only five or so countries you can invade, one of them yourself? Legolas - 16/08/2010 06:11:43 PM 801 Views
Re: So that means there are only five or so countries you can invade, one of them yourself? Isaac - 16/08/2010 06:30:56 PM 1012 Views
Nah, they're willing to switch allegiances at the drop of a hat Brian - 16/08/2010 06:25:29 PM 891 Views
When it spills your pint and eyes up your woman? snoopcester - 16/08/2010 04:53:29 PM 960 Views
When they get on your nerves or have something you want, preferably both Isaac - 16/08/2010 05:04:10 PM 968 Views
I agree we should attack Canada instead random thoughts - 16/08/2010 05:19:48 PM 960 Views
Yeah, but they don't gouge us for the oil, cost the same as anyone else *NM* Isaac - 16/08/2010 05:49:38 PM 400 Views
I would legalize drugs ten times over before I would annex Mexico. Tom - 16/08/2010 05:36:37 PM 1101 Views
"I would stop doing a bad thing 10 times over before I did a worse thing"? WTF? *NM* Cannoli - 16/08/2010 06:04:48 PM 479 Views
Read the original post. He proposes annexing Mexico due to the drug problem. Tom - 16/08/2010 06:28:54 PM 1022 Views
He's just nitpicking on your phrasing in the subject line. I think. *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 06:37:17 PM 387 Views
that sounds like a much better immigration solution idea than "let's build a GIGANTIC FENCE!!!" *NM* LadyLorraine - 16/08/2010 06:33:46 PM 402 Views
Lol that rates right up there with the bridge to nowhere *NM* Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 06:49:19 PM 424 Views
Work Visas might help, but... Isaac - 16/08/2010 06:51:11 PM 1168 Views
Oh i know it's not a complete solution and i have no problem with a fence LadyLorraine - 16/08/2010 07:43:26 PM 900 Views
Just so long as we're both on the 'multi-front solution' page Isaac - 16/08/2010 08:35:06 PM 838 Views
it's also worth noting that no one is proposing throwing out the Cubans LadyLorraine - 16/08/2010 08:54:46 PM 946 Views
When the US says so. We are the bosses of the World, are we not? *NM* Francie - 16/08/2010 08:06:08 PM 414 Views
west point? *NM* jh - 16/08/2010 08:56:58 PM 406 Views
Well take over and intervene are two totally different things Napoleon62 - 16/08/2010 09:00:50 PM 1175 Views

Not even Hitler's Germany? (if he never went to war but just stayed put) Reply to Yuna *NM* Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 09:24:41 PM 500 Views
If he had never gone to war, that would also have meant no Holocaust... *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:28:16 PM 397 Views
Really? Why is that? I'm not too terribly familiar with Hitler's reasons for mass genocide *NM* Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 09:30:48 PM 413 Views
Er, not enough Jews to be a problem, to put it crudely. Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:50:41 PM 1053 Views
Dachau opened in '33, Nuremburg Laws were '35 Isaac - 16/08/2010 09:36:59 PM 885 Views
Ok that's what I was thinking Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 09:45:51 PM 937 Views
Uh, yeah, see, there's a difference between "blaming" and "exterminating". Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:52:37 PM 936 Views
Re: Uh, yeah, see, there's a difference between "blaming" and "exterminating". Camilla - 16/08/2010 09:54:29 PM 875 Views
I don't know if there's really anything to specifically compare it to... Legolas - 16/08/2010 10:00:59 PM 1050 Views
Also, perhaps someone should just invoke the (variation of the) Godwin Law and stop this whole thing Legolas - 16/08/2010 10:02:23 PM 944 Views
Ah, snoopcester - 16/08/2010 10:04:39 PM 851 Views
Nah, more like, I know I shouldn't have done this, but I couldn't resist. *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 10:07:35 PM 415 Views
I second the motion to invoke Godwin's Law for closure... Isaac - 16/08/2010 10:11:22 PM 986 Views
Perhaps snoopcester - 16/08/2010 09:46:55 PM 844 Views
Well, you'll note I didn't make that causal relation you attribute to me. Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:55:39 PM 986 Views
The Dachau follow up was bookkeeping Isaac - 16/08/2010 10:05:35 PM 921 Views
I'm confused, but I'll take that as something I don't have to argue. Legolas - 16/08/2010 10:09:16 PM 1025 Views
Re: I'm confused, but I'll take that as something I don't have to argue. Isaac - 16/08/2010 10:19:19 PM 909 Views
The US already took half of Mexico, so why not the other half? Bramhodoulos - 16/08/2010 09:57:56 PM 980 Views
"Took" is an unfriendly word, we purchased it *NM* Isaac - 16/08/2010 10:21:58 PM 409 Views
yes after a messy political and physical "conflict" LadyLorraine - 16/08/2010 10:53:22 PM 948 Views
There was also the Gasdsen Purchase Isaac - 17/08/2010 12:30:21 AM 905 Views
The Gadsden Purchase was a pittance and an afterthought, as I'm sure you're aware. Joel - 18/08/2010 12:36:24 PM 847 Views
It is fairly large, but yes Isaac - 18/08/2010 02:21:25 PM 898 Views
Well, yes, it WAS a purchase, but then, it would be. Joel - 18/08/2010 03:22:23 PM 1345 Views
and why did it belong to Mexico to begin with? *NM* random thoughts - 17/08/2010 01:28:28 AM 444 Views
same way it seems to be the way most people who own the Americas came to own it. LadyLorraine - 17/08/2010 01:46:49 AM 773 Views
At least we took the time to conquer it random thoughts - 18/08/2010 05:20:57 PM 1116 Views
well they were not using it *NM* random thoughts - 17/08/2010 01:27:47 AM 389 Views
Once you solved all your own problems, I'm sure. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/08/2010 10:58:28 PM 402 Views
my best friend is an illegal and is going back to mexico in a few months Delireus - 16/08/2010 11:28:11 PM 961 Views
every issue is simpler when you don't have faces to represent it for you. *NM* LadyLorraine - 16/08/2010 11:29:38 PM 421 Views
