Bitter Mushroom posted:do we get guns though? dealbreaker I would legit love to own some guns, I just can't be arsed going through the hassle in the UK to get one and then only having my 2ftx2ft garden to shoot them on, thus upsetting the neighbours 6feet away who will call the police no doubt. loquacius posted:well given what just happened in the UK that's certainly not true for them There is a major reason Scotland wants to stay in the EU so much....they seem to be unable to do anything other than rely on North Sea Oil and UK handouts  https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/may/04/scottish-economy-grows-far-more-slowly-than-uk-as-a-whole

boom boom boom posted:I just figured out how we could make Britain part of the US, and let them keep the queen as their leader while still staying within the constitution's ban on monarchy. Just make her a high school football coach. I'd happily dump the queen for a USA passport. It isn't easy to OFFICIALLY emmigrate to the USA, despite what you guys might think. Australia, Canada, New Zealand....hell most other countries have a points system that any idiot like me can pass. America? No Sir. Even Corporate sponsorship generally only gets you a temporary working visa and not even permanent residency. You guys even banned the UK from the Green Card Lottery  We would never do that in Europe as that is RACIST. e: Added officially as I obey the law. spud fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jun 29, 2016 |

LGD posted:No, you just absorb most of Britain as a state and create a set of treaties with The Crown that leave it a totally dependent but self-governing quasi-state with complete freedom of movement that consists only of it's properties like Windsor/Buckingham Palace/etc. That way you can still have kings, queens and all of the associated royalty for tourism purposes, but it has no bearing on the actual apparatus of government. Think of it like the Vatican. Or maybe an Indian reservation for royalty. Buckingham palace is the most expensive house in the world (that noone can actually buy). If we joined the US, probably 50million people would move over and then the Queen would be left in her big, cheap, lovely house, all alone.

never trust an elf posted:metro north? Yeah metro north sucks dick but at least you get to use grand central Can't remember the train service, but yes, I commuted to Grand Central everyday. I still found it amazingly beautiful when I visited nearly 11 years later, but it's a lot better when you aren't running to get to work. spud fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Jun 29, 2016 |
