Im quite happy here in NZ where the country side is like 25min from the main city :D
dude in california its legal to fire model rockets the size of cruise missles (we know someone who does or at least used to im not sure if they still do) They use an engine that is rated M or higher... the tiny rockets you can get at the local hobby shop use D or E tops...

I imagine that if you can fire what basically is a missle, you can fire a potato...


Kid: "Look ma... is that a cruise missle?"
Mom: "Doubt it dont worry, just some guy with a model rocket."

Wait for it....

Mom: "OMG A CRUISE POTATO GET FORK DOWN"







By the way, yea i got way too much free time.

combustion spud guns are considered firearms in california, and yes, they have some of the strictest gun laws in the U.S.
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

How can you even QUESTION the freedoms that America offers? Ok, sure, I will admit that there is some racial issues; but people are not getting killed over these issues (on a large scale I mean). Its basically impossible to have a country that is completely, 100% fair towards everyone.

And much of the aggression that America has towards various groups of people is not unfounded; the illegal immigrants coming into America are ruining the lives of legal Americans by taking jobs for lower pay, tax issues, etc...

And the high average weight of Americans simply reflects the fact that our lifestyle is so much greater than that of people in other countries, starvation is not even an issue; there is PLENTY of food :P

No wonder all of the illegal immigrants come to America and not other countries... CAUSE ITS THE BEST!

Heres how it works out in my book:
1) America
2) Australia/ nearby islands
3) Germany

just my views though...

In my book it's more like

1) Denmark
2) Canada
3) Sweden probably. Not sure. Or maybe 2nd. Again not sure.

you guys, is there really any debate? america is the best. period. okay, you can think differently but you can never change the facts that us americans live in the best place on the planet.
1) america
2)holland
3)mexico just because there is no law there so you can do pretty-much whatever you want :roll:

Yep thats true americans are pissed off at immigrants for taking theyr jobs, that only means one thing americans are whiny and incompetent. If you want something you have to fight for it not cry about it.

:wink: All you non-americans can keep on whining and trying to attack America. But like beebs111 said: america is the best. period.

I don't even understand how this arguement got started up?

America is like a sack of cash, while other countries are $1. You people that have the $1 bills (in other words, live in other countries) say that $1 is more portable, and having a sack of cash (living in america) is terrible because its heavy, you might lose some, blah blah blah. But come on; i'd take a sack of money over $1 any day!

Sorry for the completely random analogy that really was terrible and that really didnt make any sense, not even to me :P
