Mexicans Hate Texas Boarders

[Dr Strangelove]

I think the right that most people protested over the loss thereof was the right to own slaves. Santa Anna outlawed slavery and the slaveowners rebelled, so he fought them. When he extended this law to Texas the Texan slaveowners, ex-Americans and Hispanic, fought him.

Yeah, right.
If the Texas Rangers hadn't rid the land of those scummy Apache, then Comanche, there would have been absolutely no desire by Santa****ingAnna to stay north.
Scum. Murdering rapist. Pinhead.

Lo siento por usar lenguaje que solo ellos entienden, pero comparado con el resto de la EU e incluso con paises como Argentina estaban bastante atrasados.

En los 70 España estaba notablemente atrasada con respecto a Alemania, Francia o UK y en menor medida Italia, te lo concedo. Pero no con respecto a otros paises europeos menos avanzados. Y no con respecto a Argentina. Precisamente acabábamos de pasar por el Boom económico. En los 50, principio de los 60 España si era un ´****hole´
Por supesto esoy hablando en el aspecto económico. En el aspecto de las libertades eramos una caca.

Why the HELL are you talking about Argentina; or how
remarkably slow with respect to Germany, France or UK and to a lesser extent Italy, Spain was/is ?

Jackasses.

[Thorgal]

It is just the other way aound.

[SlowwHand]

Not my primary language. God knows I hear that enough.
Now it's my turn.

Listen, MtG and Zen, if Germany and France, old enemies, can virtually unite in an EU, so can we. NAFTA was a first step. We need to continue to discuss these issues to essentially erase the border and eventually move to a "common" citizenship. Circumstances are forcing us together.

What St. Leo said. We'll consider letting in Alaska, Washington, Michigan and upstate New York, but the rest of you have to stay American.

Don't forget Minnesota. We can always use more hockey-friendly states .

Plus they'd provide a nice buffer so that Albertan separatists would finally have to shut up. I figure that New York would do the same for Quebec...

EDIT: Doh! that's Montana, not Minnesota.

[Master Zen]

I wouldn't want Montana if I were Canada.... (or Texas )

I'm going to start a movement for Minnesota to secede frome the Union, then we will hold the US hostage via our iron mines.

Why do you say the election of a Democrat will repeal NAFTA?
A Democrat came up with the bright idea.

Did you listen to the debate the other day. Dean basically called for tearing up current agreements, including the WTO. He said that he would refuse to trade with any country that did not have the same labor, safety and environmental standards as the US. Others questioned whether we would be so drastic, but did second the idea that we should "revise" the agreements to condition trade on "equivalent" labor, safety and environmental standards.

What does this all mean? If Mexico does not have a minimum wage the same as the US, NAFTA is over? If Mexican drivers aren't paid he same as US union teamsters, they cannot drive loads into the United States?

I somehow think these people cannot be serious, but you have heard much the same hear on this forum from the likes of Che and the others from the anti-globalist movement. It appears that Dean and many of the other Democrats have joined the anti-globalist movement.

Liebermann is highly critical of the other candidates, but he is trailing in the polls. I do not know where Clark stands.

Regardless, if Dean is nominated, this undoubtedly will be a major issue in the campaign. If he wins, Mexico and other trading partners now enjoying free trade can kiss prosperity good bye.
