If you had to choose, which country should take over the US and why?

I like the idea of an oppresionistic government taking over, and getting to for a revolutionary cabal.

Hmmmmm… well, if we wait long enough, we’ll do it to ourselves, so I think I’ll just wait…

On the OP, however, I think some small out of the way nation would be cool, so the gov’t would stay small and unobtrusive… how 'bout Guam?

Atlantis

They’re coming back with the Greys any time now so we might as well just get use to the idea.

Yes we are of questionable virtute. Who wouldn’t be. It’s not in any of my dictionaries. :slight_smile:

Somebody LIKES Japanese porn? Since this isn’t the pit, I’ll pointlessly censor my favorite Pulp Fiction quote: “That’s some fcked up repugnant sht.”

Turkey, because they keep religeon out of the govt and you get nekkid people on tv :smiley:

LOL. These young pups won’t get it, but you made my day, or at least my hour. :smiley:

Canada.

I just have a thing for Canadian guys. If they took over the US, they’d be in the country and easier for me to get, right?

I vote Islandia.

Someone had to.

I gotta go with Sweden too. Tax Bill Gates and Warren Wossname into the ground and use it to finance a decent health care system.

Erewhon.

– Uke, who’s old enough to get the Grand Fenwick and Islandia references too, god damn it

How about the Duchy of Fenwick? They didn’t do too bad the last time they conquered us! :wink:

That’s only part of it. You’ll get legal pot and hookers, too. And every citizen would be above the financial existence minimum. But be prepared: your taxes will be doubled or tripled.

But then, our beer is even better than Canadian :slight_smile:

SCOTLAND!!!

Oops, that’s supposed to be “and why”, right?

Because…

If it’s nae Scottish it’s CRAP!!!

Canada. No contest. The reason is simple: Canada kicks ass (it says so on a sweatshirt of mine, so it must be true)! Americans would have better access to health care. They would be part of a country with a great reputation (last time I checked, it was the only nation to participate in every single U.N. venture). People would hate americans less (you’ve never seen TV footage of a middle-eastern extremist yelling “Canada is Satan!”, have you?). We could lift that silly embargo on Cuba, allowing americans to buy and enjoy as many fine havana cigars as they like. Not only is the beer better, but the bars are open later, too! Americans will finally have a reason to not like francophones. Poverty would be less severe. Oh, and about a million other reasons, too.

Oh, and Kilt-wearin’ man, Canada was pretty much built by scotsmen, so it’s “nae crap” (or however you’d say that in scottish :)).

There’s an old joke this reminds me of - it was a list of phrases every American should learn to say fluently in Arabic.

The best one was at #1: “Don’t shoot, I’m a Canadian!”

As for the UN peacekeeping service, the Canadian army was the only UN member force that took no crap from the Serbs in Bosnia. I remember reading about a Serb checkpoint that had gone up overnight on a road that was supposed to be unrestricted. The Canadians that were escorting a food convoy on that road ran over the checkpoint with an armored personnel carrier. At the time, all of the other peacekeepers would have stopped or turned back.

Yeah, Canada’s cool, Max. But then again, you Canadians owe us big for taking Alan Thicke and William Shatner off your hands…

I’m pulling for Norway so I can finally find out what a damn flodnak is.

I swear, it’s like some sort of conspiracy.

Cross-dressing Man sez:

I beg to differ on the Canadians being the only troops standing up to the Serbs in Bosnia. The Danish Leopard tanks whupped a Serbian ambush well enough that their sector got so peaceful as to be considered boring. Headline in Newsweek: “The mouse ate the cat”. Yup, I was proud.

As to the OP: NO, we don’t want the US. As a matter of fact, we’re trying to rid ourselves of the Faroe islands and it’s going to cost us a fortune.

Although, of course, if my tireless work of getting Swiddles hitched with Crown Prince Frederik comes to fruition, we would be in an outstanding postion to take over. Of course, you’d have to get used to watching von Trier movies and have the stores close at ungodly hours.

Canada. Though they don’t seem agressive enough to take us over. Maybe that’s the plan… :eek:
