The Republic of Ireland joining the United States of America

lcrcboy · 20-01-2010 03:17PM #1

Just wondering if in the future some time, Ireland made closer ties with the US and then decided to hold a election on joining the US as a protected state or territory would you vote yes or no??, give reasons for your answer.

this thread was closed in the politics forum because the moderators decided it didint belong there due to a few people slagging off the American waight issue, so please people if you dont have anything good or constructive to add then dont bother:cool:

No. I'd be against it. I dislike the power of religion in this country. Last thing we need is that.

Would we finally get Lucky Charms sold here again?

If yes then I'm all for it

Tea_Bag · 20-01-2010 03:22PM

absolutely not!

Ireland isnt great atm, but its a hella better than America.

AnonoBoy · 20-01-2010 03:25PM

For chocolate reasons I'm going to say no but for pancake reasons I'm going to say yes.

So it's a tie really.

How slutty are the girls over there?

If they built a big bridge from Salthill to Manhattan, I might take the odd drive.

Always wanted to see Letterman.

Shag it, add a Poll and you have my vote

This sounds strangely familiar... and it didn't work out that time apparently.:pac:

I'd rather that we go into a union with Germany, at least that way we'd have more choice of beer and we could drink it everywhere, there would be autobahns all over the place and a decent public transport systems - win win!!!:D

I know a shop that sells them, they're €7.50 a box though

Sure we're halfway to being the USE after the last referendum, no?
WW3 will be between USA and USE and China, and hopefully they'll have mechas by then. :pac:

If we get to buy guns at Lidl & aldi sign me right up.*

So long as we call it the 'united states of Eire-america'

bambera · 20-01-2010 03:33PM

Making it easier for them to own a gun too and we'd all be screwed :eek:

lcrcboy · 20-01-2010 03:34PM

Am I the only person that still refers to ireland as a country? europe is now slowly but surely making every country a "state", i dont like how the uniqueness of our country is being taken away from us

if I was to choose id deffinately prefer to be a "state" of europe that usa, ireland is way too american as it is without us being apart of it!

although i would be all for trying to bring back the people who left ireland in the 80s and 90s to america, bring back a rise in population and end to recession!

Is that the bogus Mountain Dew made with anti-freeze?

lcrcboy · 20-01-2010 03:39PM

you could go anywhere in the US without a stupid visa, plus Id say the americans would build massive motorways all over the country (or as they call it freeways), they probally would build a massive naval port and air base because of are location.
And for all the anyone trigger happy they would be aloud to sign up to the US army

Celly Smunt · 20-01-2010 03:40PM

With the amount of spelling and grammar mistakes over the last two pages,I can certainly say you would all fit right into American society.

As long as I can still spell colour with a u and call myself Irish (not Irish-American) I’m happy to go for it
