    And really, if the US were to take over Canada and Mexico, how would you use all that land or even keep control over it?

    We're getting into really stupid scenarios now -_-
    Right, because I'm sure Canada or Mexico would nuke the US.

    The US has expanded from 13 colonies to 50 states (plus multiple territories) just fine...adding a few more wouldn't be a problem. Considering that Texas used to belong to Mexico, Florida to Spain, and many others... it wouldn't be entirely illogical for more to come.

    Um... I never said anything about Canada or Mexico nuke the US... So yeah.... Ever hear of China?

    And yeah, that expansion didn't happen over night... Not to mention, Canada alone is already larger than the whole US, so have fun?

    We were talking about multiple countries, and you didn't specify which ones you were referring to...so I could only assume. You made it sound like Canada and Mexico would use nukes (since they were included in the conversation that was at hand) I said Nuke the big threats like Russia and China...of course there would be nukes back.

    I didn't say it happened over night...and I don't know how that has anything to do with this.

    Landmass size has nothing to do with anything. Watchout for badass greenland eh?

    (Not to mention that half of Canada is uninhabitable)

    Size of the land has a lot to do with it
    Uninhabitable land is still land you have to traverse? People live all over Canada, east, west, north, south.

    lol, you make it sound like some hobo living out in the tundra is going to fight against the US military.

    Also, it's not like a landmass can only be taken over if every last inhabitant is killed. There's a reason why Florida has strong Spanish traits, and Texas with Mexican traits.

    I'm not making anything sound like anything, you're just 'hearing' what you want to... All I said is that people live all around.

    And you'd have to kill a lot of them, or get rid of them somehow, you can't just expect everyone to bow before the US....
    And taking over is only half of it, how would you CONTROL the all that land? (We're counting Mexico as well), you'd probably never know what going on, and some separate government would probably form, and never be a part of the US...
    Otherwise the inhabitants of the land may just fight back, and therefore you would have to kill everyone.....
    then what? Everyone from the US is just going to hop in their cars and move north and start working? Lol k...

    I didn't say he can, so don't put words in my mouth. Like I said, you don't know anything about international laws.
    First of all, I would like to thank Pain_ELemental for coining the term "pro anti-USA" in all it's self-contradictory glory.

    No shit. I have a specially customized power drill for...well lets not get into that right now...the point is, without being plugged in to electricity, it would never be satis--, i mean powerful enough to do anything. And one of my relatives has a jack hammer that also needs power. Now you can't tell me that the drill is just as powerful as the jack hammer because they have the same power source.

    Except without other countries to make fun of and try to turn democratic, we might die off over lack of pride.

    Jesus Christ you need a history lesson. Newsflash: This wouldn't be the first time a territory has been taken over.

    "I'm not making anything sound like anything, you're just 'hearing' what you want to... All I said is that people live all around."


    Ok, if you didn't mean for them to be combative, then that's a completely pointless statement.

    The US took over Texas, and look at it now. It's just like every other state.
    The US took over Florida, and look at it now. It's just like every other state. Hell, most of the US was taken from someone in some way.

    Do you think Texas was empty when it was taken over? Do you think everyone in Texas was happy about the takeover? Do you think that everybody "bowed down" to their new country? No, no, and no.

    You're making yourself look like an idiot here.

    I'd like to thank MAD for quoting two terms together, and then trying to say they were one. Notice the placement of the dash pal.

    Pro anti-USA, which would mean he is in agreement with "anti-USA".

    Thanks.

    Yes because agreeing with being anti is not the same as being anti?
