*By request* I may add. Plus, it is debateable whether the entire of Ireland is part of the UK. And the fact that Ireland would rip itself apart - Eire wants the NI to be with them, most of NI want to be part of Great Britain.
Plus - We have a right to intervene - after all for many years we were having the crap bombed out of us! So its a little like Afghanistan (Taliban) attack USA, USA invade and occupy! Same thing apart from NI was already part of our country lol.
I mean you don't think that Texas is being "occupied" by the USA do you? Or should they declare independance too?

The US has something to offer pretty much anything they are looking for it. Being a foreigner, you are not going to have everything handed to you on a plate either, you have to work for it. I love New Mexico because of the Lax Gun Laws and fantastic hunting ans slow pace of life ... and the HOT food.
Looking to move to a different town in NM right now, or possibly North Carolina or Texas. |
You won't be thinking that when someone comes over to you in a bar and shoots your face off for looking at them funny!! |

Ireland was an Island before the British took it over, which means they are still occupying. When it comes to a vote, I hope it does, we will see.

Again, NI was part of Ireland before the British invaded. Did you have your national language banned ? Where your women raped to purify Irish people, where you guys only allowed own shite horses, where you guys the only ones allowed to own guns. THe things the British did to Ireland and Irish people over the Centuries is absolutely disgusting.

Tis illegal to have a concealed weapon in NM where alcohol is sold.
When the UK sorts out its knife crime you can give some advice on guns
I feel safer walking the streets of Albuquerque at 3am than I ever did in Dublin or Kingston or anywhere in London at that time. |

1. Well, that maybe so.... Same with Guantanamo Bay, Gibralter, The Falklands and their respective ruling heads of state / government.....
2. You could say the same about many other countries against other countries. Unfortunately they were the disgusting times that were around then. Britain / Ireland wasn't anything out of the ordinary unfortunately  .
3. Now when I was in history, Ireland broke away and declared independance rather than NI being invaded!
3. lol "The United States of America & Texas" lol. So would it be cool if all 50 states declared independance?
4. Really? Is that a real law or have you just made that up? lol.
Fair point, but we are taking action to try and sort it out! The US aint trying to sort out gun crime! (well not in the most effective ways).
And at least you have a chance, albeit small, of outrunning someone with a knife. Your a bit stumped with a bullet! |

Yeah I am serious. In the State of New Mexico you cannot have firearms where alcohol is sold. Make sence though. Drunks and guns just dont mix I put on gun shows and own a few of my own and have to know the laws. NM is actually a fantastic state for our Open Carry laws too, Gold State by one websites review.
Ireland had to declare the 26 counties as a Republic because thats all we could get at the time, and back then it was a giant step. It does not mean that we did not want NI to be part of the Republic, but rather a view to making the Island of Ireland a Republic.
New Mexico would be up shits creek without a paddle if she were The Rebublic of New Mexico. No money here hehe. |

Las Vegas is best known gambling destination in the world, may be good place for those who are passionate about Gambling and Casino, IMO, alternatively Bahamas is one of the nicest place to settle down or even best destination for second-home living.  |

Well yes, it does make sense - a very logical law for once!! And I suppose that is one way of looking at it.
lol, so guessing the Republic of NM would be applying for an emergency aid package?

Yes, but on TV (like CSI) people always seem to get shot after winning or try and do something dodgy to cheat the system .
Give me my all inclusive to Gran Canaria anyday - cheaper, no gambling, lots of drink, nice beach, nice pool and lots of hot totty!! |

Well, I've only had a chance to read this now, but so far I've experienced:
The US drinking culture
The US health system
The US administrative system
The US gambling system
The US law enforcement system (for good reason though!)
And they're all an experience! Lol.

US drinking - can't drink till 21 - major bad side.
US Health system - costs - major bad side.
US Administration - Bush, Swazenegger (or however you spell it) and majorly stupid Republicans - major bad side.
US gambling system - well gambling is the same anywhere so guess this breaks even.
US law enforcement - trigger happy - major bad side

Well we all know you couldn't cope without alcohol so that's the only reason you say that.  And until you've lived in the US, it doesn't become an issue. The way of socialising is completely different to that in the UK.
Health system - the amount you pay in extra taxes in the UK more than covers the cost of comprehensive health insurance. Therefore there is overall no difference there. And in the US, you have the choice of where to go so it is very consumer orientated. One of my friends in the UK has waited 3 months for an MRI scan on his knee since he damaged it. I'd had one within a week and am now well on the way to recovery. I would still be waiting in the UK...
Administration I don't mean in that sense - And again Bush is an idiot, even Americans know that as Bush is the most unpopular president ever. And Arnie isn't bad at all. Come to California and see for yourself. What I did mean on this point is paperwork etc. Yes, it may be harder to get into the US but I'd rather have to jump through hoops to come here and know that only people who aren't a threat can get in.
Law Enforcement - I actually feel safer with cops being prepared if something happens. If you're abiding by the law, you have nothing to be scared of. |

Well, having not experienced American nightlife, I'd have to take your word for it. Its not about need - its about choice to do such a thing should I desire.
Health system - you make some fair points, however I do like the NHS and champion what they do and what they stand for. They are currently giving me thousands of pounds worth of treatment for free - much more treatment that my national insurance is paying for.
Administration - ah, well, that is debateable. Sept 11 and all. I don't think any countries impregnable - the UK has tighter security like the US.
Law enforcement - you can be prepared and unarmed. Arming every Police office (and having lax gun controls as America does) to me just encourages fire fights between criminals and cops - and whether you abide the law or not you can get caught in the middle of this. Thankfully, it looks like Obama is going to make it a priority to massively tighten Gun Control which i think will be a fantastic thing for the USA . |

Obama can't tighten gun control as the people still have their guns . |

I'm sure you hear the line that you can sue anyone for anything in the US? | |
