Since we have gone into economic meltdown and dealing with political corruption, and being pushed about by are EU neighbors, would you be inclined to turn away from the EU and look at joining the USA. Would you be opposed to the idea or all for it???

you think it's bad now within the eu just imagine how bad things would get if we went with the u.s.a. that is if you fancy the idea of losing most of your human rights and become the slave of the century. americans have lost almost all their freedoms so why the hell would anyone want to go with the u.s.a ?. thats a nutjob idea.

Some people still buy into the American dream that Hollywood portrays, but we all know what they say about that.
