Hey Dave. I know a guy called Bill from Alaska.
That's near Texas....do you know him?

Hey Scratch, I have this pal who used to go out with some South African girl who's brother was a jumper....Any clues?

Its a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

Things I like about America?

8. Texas' size (you can drive 24hrs and still be in TX)

You can drive for 24 days and still be in Australia.

In Australia, you can own a piece of land bigger than Texas.
.

That said, I love the Scottish accent....

Looking back on this thread, I like that Americans think Britain is 'close to' Scotland (in the same way that America is close to New York, or France is close to Bordeaux I guess). I also like that Americans think a few hundred years is a 'long and proud' history. But I really like that American chicks think the British accent is sexy

1. Texas
2. That right to bear arms
3. You can buy beer in a corner store rather than a government run liquor outlet.

If every country had those three things no-one would ever feel the need to leave home and immigrate somewhere else.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

It didn't exist when I first posted that, I'd have to agree.

Up here in the Canada. Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) Stores is one example, most other provinces have the equivalent with the exception of Quebec and Alberta

That's mental! So you couldn't just pick up, say, a bottle of wine along with your food shopping at the local supermarket then?

So what?

Drive 24 hours from Kansas and you can be in New York, Alabama, or Arizona, or any of 4 dozen different states and countries.

Drive 24 hrs in Texas and you could still be stuck in Texas.

I like America because:
1. Cheap skydiving
2. Food easily available
3. No in-country travel restrictions
4. Few out-of-country travel restrictions
5. There's still a few laws restricting us that could be made that haven't been made yet.
6. Canada is right next door
7. You don't need a green card to go to New Mexico
8. Got beaches, mountains and everything in between
9. Good medical care
10. Large enough to adequately separate me and my ex.

My reality and yours are quite different.
