Re: I'm confused, but I'll take that as something I don't have to argue. Isaac Send a noteboard - 16/08/2010 10:19:19 PM
Which is good, what with thinking this discussion should probably not be allowed to sidetrack the thread.


My original message just said "Dachau opened in '33, Nuremburg Laws were '35 *NM", I edited it to pre-emptively head off someone producing a history lecture on the subject, in other words, I was attempting to edit my message to head off the inevitable WWII thread hijack, notice my total lack of success :P

At what point does it become ok to take over a country? Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 04:25:09 PM 1321 Views
why would we want to make Mexico our problem? *NM* random thoughts - 16/08/2010 04:30:48 PM 365 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 342 Views
One might argue it already is. The other way around too, though. *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 04:44:19 PM 326 Views
Well, generally it's no longer seen as acceptable. Ghavrel - 16/08/2010 04:38:11 PM 956 Views
Revolución! *NM* Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 04:47:55 PM 344 Views
I'm fairly sure that yes, the majority of them have national pride. Legolas - 16/08/2010 04:51:38 PM 885 Views
Re: I'm fairly sure that yes, the majority of them have national pride. snoopcester - 16/08/2010 05:11:49 PM 727 Views
Actually, make that number 120 to 150. *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 05:14:15 PM 341 Views
We don't invade countries we can't locate on the map... Isaac - 16/08/2010 06:01:43 PM 976 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 678 Views

Nah, they're willing to switch allegiances at the drop of a hat Brian - 16/08/2010 06:25:29 PM 775 Views
When it spills your pint and eyes up your woman? snoopcester - 16/08/2010 04:53:29 PM 834 Views
When they get on your nerves or have something you want, preferably both Isaac - 16/08/2010 05:04:10 PM 852 Views
I agree we should attack Canada instead random thoughts - 16/08/2010 05:19:48 PM 843 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 347 Views
I would legalize drugs ten times over before I would annex Mexico. Tom - 16/08/2010 05:36:37 PM 918 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 427 Views
Read the original post. He proposes annexing Mexico due to the drug problem. Tom - 16/08/2010 06:28:54 PM 893 Views
He's just nitpicking on your phrasing in the subject line. I think. *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 06:37:17 PM 335 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 349 Views
Lol that rates right up there with the bridge to nowhere *NM* Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 06:49:19 PM 367 Views
Work Visas might help, but... Isaac - 16/08/2010 06:51:11 PM 1042 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 784 Views
Just so long as we're both on the 'multi-front solution' page Isaac - 16/08/2010 08:35:06 PM 717 Views
it's also worth noting that no one is proposing throwing out the Cubans LadyLorraine - 16/08/2010 08:54:46 PM 840 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 350 Views
west point? *NM* jh - 16/08/2010 08:56:58 PM 315 Views
Well take over and intervene are two totally different things Napoleon62 - 16/08/2010 09:00:50 PM 1055 Views
never *NM* Yunalesca - 16/08/2010 09:05:03 PM 347 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 437 Views
If he had never gone to war, that would also have meant no Holocaust... *NM* Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:28:16 PM 341 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 348 Views
Er, not enough Jews to be a problem, to put it crudely. Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:50:41 PM 933 Views
Dachau opened in '33, Nuremburg Laws were '35 Isaac - 16/08/2010 09:36:59 PM 778 Views
Ok that's what I was thinking Dark Knight - 16/08/2010 09:45:51 PM 821 Views
Uh, yeah, see, there's a difference between "blaming" and "exterminating". Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:52:37 PM 819 Views
Re: Uh, yeah, see, there's a difference between "blaming" and "exterminating". Camilla - 16/08/2010 09:54:29 PM 758 Views
I don't know if there's really anything to specifically compare it to... Legolas - 16/08/2010 10:00:59 PM 929 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 832 Views
Ah, snoopcester - 16/08/2010 10:04:39 PM 744 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 360 Views
I second the motion to invoke Godwin's Law for closure... Isaac - 16/08/2010 10:11:22 PM 876 Views
Perhaps snoopcester - 16/08/2010 09:46:55 PM 738 Views
Well, you'll note I didn't make that causal relation you attribute to me. Legolas - 16/08/2010 09:55:39 PM 869 Views
The Dachau follow up was bookkeeping Isaac - 16/08/2010 10:05:35 PM 815 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 911 Views

The US already took half of Mexico, so why not the other half? Bramhodoulos - 16/08/2010 09:57:56 PM 866 Views
"Took" is an unfriendly word, we purchased it *NM* Isaac - 16/08/2010 10:21:58 PM 357 Views
yes after a messy political and physical "conflict" LadyLorraine - 16/08/2010 10:53:22 PM 832 Views
There was also the Gasdsen Purchase Isaac - 17/08/2010 12:30:21 AM 788 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 703 Views
It is fairly large, but yes Isaac - 18/08/2010 02:21:25 PM 776 Views
Well, yes, it WAS a purchase, but then, it would be. Joel - 18/08/2010 03:22:23 PM 1225 Views
and why did it belong to Mexico to begin with? *NM* random thoughts - 17/08/2010 01:28:28 AM 381 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 654 Views
At least we took the time to conquer it random thoughts - 18/08/2010 05:20:57 PM 999 Views
well they were not using it *NM* random thoughts - 17/08/2010 01:27:47 AM 329 Views
Once you solved all your own problems, I'm sure. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/08/2010 10:58:28 PM 343 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 835 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 352 Views
