Death to skinfags, sieg heil.

No it doesn't. It depends on what the United States considers a state.

This. I don't get how you could argue that as it's not really up to interpretation.

Super KB. Get an American Flag, or a picture of one - one that clearly shows all the stars on it. Ask her (as in verify) what the Stars represent. Then have her to count them (or you both count 'em). And no. Counting the other side doesn't count. laugh new

Or she's just predicting the future after the Elite Globalists take over and make Canada and Mexico one with America, and call it the North American Trade Union (a western version of the E.U.). Razz

I could really see this as becoming a political clash/throwdown/pissfest type thing. Who wants to start? What, no volunteers? Then I will have to start slinging the poo.

I want to live in Puerto Rico. It's sunny, the people are nice, and I can mooch off the government for the rest of my life. How great is that??? There's mountains and beaches and piña coladas and little bamboo huts with banana leaf roofs and hammocks and everything. Plus, there's plenty of ocean where I can test my biological weapons of mass destruction, or build an underwater lair. An underwater lair would look pretty cool, and be hard to find besides.

And Tyjet66, have you not heard of the European Union or the United Nations? Or are you meaning like, fusing countries? I'm scared as to what a one-world-government (however you hyphen-ate that) would do to humanity's freedom and social standing, not to mention our ability to deal with chickens and other domestic farm animals. It would be widespread paranoia of everything with hooves and things that go cluck in the woods.

This. We may need some of this to counteract the natural tectonic movement pulling them apart again.

No, see, if we wait long enough, they'll keep being pulled apart, and eventually come together again on the other side.

Or the sun will explode first.

Let's go to Mars. No sees there, you sea. It'd be like Pangaea without the beaches.

We could make some. I heard from some nerd that Mars has lots of ice.

EDIT: Oh wait, that nerd was me.

I think you'll find that's Mars Ice Cream, and is entirely unrelated to planets.

Hence Mars has water, hence Mars has life, hence Martians exist, hence we are in imminent danger of an alien invasion. But does anyone listen to me??? Nooooo, of course not!

I watched a science channel special on like the future or something and they said that they could like plant trees or something and make it tolerable for humans to like live there (or something Mr. Green

). Thus, after Gaius_4 conquers Canada and Mexico for the United States, Mars will be the fifty-third shiny white star on the tiny blue patch of our crowded flag.

Gosh, I love ice cream. What flavors does it come in??? It MUST come in vanilla!!!

I think I watched that very same documentary. Something about terraforming (is that how you spell it ?...) mars, very interesting.

btw arn't there Mars planets chocolate sweets ?. Mars ice cream planets capped with a sugar coating. Now there's a thought Brick wall

Yum. You could pretend that you're a planet eater (like Galactus from the Fantastic Four). That makes me wonder... how would you go about eating such an ice cream ball? Stick the whole thing in your mouth and suck on it like a jawbreaker? No, that would mean massive brain freeze! You should patent that (if it's not already) and make a bunch of them, then sell them in celebration of our colonization of Mars when we get there as a "Happy Birthday Martians" thing!!!

I think you're right, its terraforming, or that's at least what Firefox's spell check is telling me (terraform, close enough). It was a very interesting theory, but hundreds of years to saturate the atmosphere via sifting that carbon dioxide through tress seemed too long for me. Why couldn't we "zap" the CO₂-rich atmosphere and make oxygen? Or turn the ice caps into oxygen? Surely there's something else.

Nuju: Assuming you're serious, the Mars ice creams are like the Mars bars, only with a malty, almost toffee-life flavoured ice cream instead of the nougat.

Terraforming is correct. As to why we can't just zap stuff ( laugh new

), it's not about creating oxygen, which is just a gas; it's about creating an entire atmosphere: An ozone layer of sorts, clouds, weather, gases, et cetera. There would have to be enough natural gases in the atmosphere for the converters to be able to convert it into a breathable / workable environment for the settlers. They'd then be able to stay for extended periods, enabling colonisation to occur.

I actually own an acre of Mars Dancing

. a mate of mine bought it for me for my birthday for £16.00, lmao. Even though the "organization" have done a convincing job with the package to tell you it's all legit I very much doubt it is. Especially for £16.00. Not to mention my mate muttered something about it being kind of a joke pressy. But still it's cool. I've even got a map showing the acre that I own on the planet. So when I'm a billionare and a breakthrough scientist who can get us there in a few days your all invited to stay on my patch of land... with space suits.

Hehe. Yeah, it's a joke present. Essentially, nobody owns Mars to be able to sell the rights / land. It's the same with the moon, which regularly has acres 'sold'. aiwebs_004
