I think you shouldn't give such a stupid opinions about EU if you don't live in it. In my opinion it's nice. It's not another country, like you said it's just making a union, that helps each other. It's almost like in Silkroad, guilds and unions. And we are getting same money, that's nice, so when you go to other country you don't need change your money to other valute. It's not so bad.

But in America case, I think Bush just want to control 3 countries, America is not enough for him.

One problem with that theory. Even if this so called unification happens (remember, it's all rumors), BUSH WONT BE IN THE Farking OFFICE YOU IDIOT.

Some, or part, of our rights are already gone. You're saying we aren't slaves already? So this time around I can choose not to pay my taxes b/c I don't want anything the fed offers, ie retracting my consent?

2010 is when i graduate

I don't understand why people like to drool over rumors and other gossip shit, and try to figure them out and stuff when they never will know the truth until the very end.

... These aren't rumors, he really did sign that you realize.
The next president can get rid of it, but this is happening.

BTW, texas is able to receed from the US at its own will, so that's where the revolution is gonna start I bet. They're not gonna like the NAU and they're gonna either split apart or revolt.
If they split apart though, that's almost a revolution in itself because not all of NA is united.

BTW, you all think it's good, "oh, it'll be like the EU". Um no. The EU isn't one country, it's just a union. They will however eventually become one country, after all other unions are made. NAU however is just going to skip the middle step and become one country immediately.

Jesus Christ I'm going to move to Iceland or something so I don't have to give a shit about any of this. That way you guys can yell at each other until your tinfoil hats rust, and I won't have to hear any of it.

Best damn idea we're going to come up with in the 21st Century. The concept of a unified continent is breathtaking as well as very promising.

America will certainly reassert itself as the eternal world power with the tripling of our population/resources/territory.

The only thing I would disagree with is, accordiing to topicmaker, the changing of the constitution or the currency. The constitution serves well enough. We will need a new flag, however.

How pessimistic. Strength in unity and numbers.

Its a win-win situation for all three countries. Weakling countries like Mexico and Canada wish to enjoy the benefits of American benevolence, and the US, even though it may not lack in territory or population, would welcome the huge increase in population and landmass. Like I said, there are three things that define a world power-population, landmass, military tech. America would rule.

In addition, I don't like the idea of a NAU. Our "alliance" should be called "America" or "the United States of America" as it always has been. There need be no further changes other than changes in borders, population relocation/logistics, national flag, and probably some new laws and amendments. And of course, then national language should be English, because the international language today is pretty much English also.

And you Texans/seperatists can kiss my @ss. The whole country knows that Texas has always been a smart@ss about everything-people down there think their elite or something. Civil War? Texas would get pummeled. "Lone" Star my @ss.

**** that shit...Vacations in Mexico will now cost double...
And I really don;t want to be in a union with the Canadians....
If this shit ever goes down..I'm sending my ass over to Brazil or Australia where I will take over the country and begin my empire and control over the whole world.... No North american or european or even Farking asian union will get in my Farking way....

2012 they say is the end of the world...The mayans say it and some other sources...also one thing that might intertest some people...
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:

The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

So leader of this so called NAU will be Obama? or its still undecided? The U.S will crumble like the Roman Empire did....due to lack of morals, ignorance, and stupidity...

Typical racial bigotry. Although I'm not a big fan of Obama, it's quite wrong to judge him based on his color/religion (which is Catholic, in fact).

Pretty poor judgement of the future there John. Reading a lame ass book by the Mayans and shit and thinking of it as a portent? The world won't end in 2012.

racial bigotry? Sorry I fail to see it? This was in the book of relevations...and no its not by the Mayans..

Although it may not be true it does seem like they described Obama pretty well.

"The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal"
Thats one...and Andrew...he may be catholic now...but thats because he converted not too long ago... the prophecy says the anti-christ is of Muslin descent...

Second part "people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace". They're already flocking to him..."change you can believe in"
Only time can tell whether or not this shit is true..

Then I guess we'll just have to get rid of him, right? Scared of the end of the world? Scared of MUSLIMS leading the country?

I'll see you in the news after you shoot Obama.

Sorry, but the NAU is not happening any time soon. If you look at the EU as a basis, how long did it take to get that sorted out with just their currencies? Ok right now Canada and US money are at par with each other, but the Mexican peso is certainly not, so who's going to underwrite that loss of income to all the Mexican people. What is worth something in their country would be worthless in the NAU.
Next you have the legal system. Completely different in all 3 countries and if you want to see something get drawn out for decades, get some lawyers involved, when they try and decide which laws to retain good luck. An example is the American system allows for trivial lawsuits all the time (ie: I'm an idiot and spilled hot coffee on myself, give me 3 million dollars). The Canadian system, doesn't allow similar lawsuits, there are too many checks in place, so by the time a few of these get through, it's not profitable to launch such a suit unless your 100% going to win. We don't even have the same laws inside Canada, most of Canada follows the British model, but Quebec follows the Napoleonic code of France.

The Americans have Texas, we've got Quebec, they don't even want to be part of Canada, so I can't see them wanting to be Canmerixan. Health Care is different, political structure is different, hell even our units of measurements are different, the US is still using some outdated ft, gallons and lbs instead of the much more logical metric. Even our English isn't the same, Canada uses British spelling for a lot of it (honour/honor, colour/color) Currently the US is putting in place MORE restrictions to get across the borders, it's a giant pain in the ass for me to go to an NFL game now. Read the business section and you'll see all the trade disputes that NAFTA created which was supposedly supposed to make us borderless when it comes to trade, it's done the opposite. You might see an NAU by 2050, but it's not happening by 2010. it would probably be easier for Canada to join the EU than the US and Mexico to join South America. Just because we share TV signals and Movie distribution, don't make the mistake of thinking we're easily merged.

Personally, I'd like to keep Canada seperate, the US gov't is worried about some terrorist slipping through it's borders, I'm more concerned with the flood of illegal guns, gang bangers, hard drugs and everything else we get from south of the border. For every terrorist that gets to the US, we get 100 gangbangers spreading the crips, bloods, hells angels and whoever else. You keep those guys on your side, we'll keep the terrorist on ours.

LOL...we still have michigan, ohio, germany, and england to keep our economy thriving, and at least the americans know how to tip!!!!


btw...this will never happen. it is pretty much a load of shit. they have been talking about this nonsense for over 20 years. if we unify with mexico, our economy will go right down the shitter. beleive it or not, we rely on illegal immagrants for cheap labor. if every business in america had to pay their employees the ever increasing min. wage, over 40% of mom and pop business would fail!

Next you have the legal system. Completely different in all 3 countries and if you want to see something get drawn out for decades, get some lawyers involved, when they try and decide which laws to retain good luck. An example is the American system allows for trivial lawsuits all the time (ie: I'm an idiot and spilled hot coffee on myself, give me 3 million dollars). The Canadian system, doesn't allow similar lawsuits, there are too many checks in place, so by the time a few of these get through, it's not profitable to launch such a suit unless your 100% going to win. We don't even have the same laws inside Canada, most of Canada follows the British model, but Quebec follows the Napoleonic code of France.

The Americans have Texas, we've got Quebec, they don't even want to be part of Canada, so I can't see them wanting to be Canmerixan. Health Care is different, political structure is different, hell even our units of measurements are different, the US is still using some outdated ft, gallons and lbs instead of the much more logical metric. Even our English isn't the same, Canada uses British spelling for a lot of it (honour/honor, colour/color) Currently the US is putting in place MORE restrictions to get across the borders, it's a giant pain in the ass for me to go to an NFL game now. Read the business section and you'll see all the trade disputes that NAFTA created which was supposedly supposed to make us borderless when it comes to trade, it's done the opposite. You might see an NAU by 2050, but it's not happening by 2010. it would probably be easier for Canada to join the EU than the US and Mexico to join South America. Just because we share TV signals and Movie distribution, don't make the mistake of thinking we're easily merged.

Personally, I'd like to keep Canada seperate, the US gov't is worried about some terrorist slipping through it's borders, I'm more concerned with the flood of illegal guns, gang bangers, hard drugs and everything else we get from south of the border. For every terrorist that gets to the US, we get 100 gangbangers spreading the crips, bloods, hells angels and whoever else. You keep those guys on your side, we'll keep the terrorist on ours.

I highly doubt the NAU will ever happen! It is nothing but a retarded pipe dream!
