Update on KY laws

[BM2]

so you can still marry your cousin in KY, right?

Actually that is against the law, really. The only way around it the law is you have get married in a state where the majority of its residents are Steelers fans

thats probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on the internet. Why would anyone ever want to leave the USA in exchange for a 3rd world country

I never said leave for a third world country, I said Leave the ever more socialist headed for Faciest), over taxed, excessively expensive crime ridden, drug saturated, corrupt government run Amerika for a tropical Island paradise where there are a fraction of the rules, laws and over lording government intrusion into ones life...*and* hotties in thongs year round.

Look around, Amerika is not as free as it once was, and it is heading down the road to facisum quite steadily. Why stay here when there are so many developed Island nations in the Carribbean that are as free and unincumbered as the US used to be?

somebody has been influanced/brainwashed by michael savage. i bet you call his show and tell him how right he is, don't you now, don't you.

Oh, and if you think America is crime ridden, corrupt, and drug saturated, have fun abroad you're in for a rude awakening! It would be like getting kicked by a muay thai guy after you said they don't kick right, remember saying that?


Does it hurt, your condition that is?

Well, unfortunately for PA I don't think the majority are (Steelers fans). Certainly the majority of westernern Pennsylvanians are, but the other side of the state, Eagles fans, darn em. So, that state is not PA.

Actually, I don't remember ever saying that...are you talking about a post I might have made in 1995 by chance?

Actually, no.

Not one thing, not one, has changed at all to back up this statement for me.

Bingo, last I checked our system is still one of the best (if not the best) systems of democracy in the world. A lot of groups lobby and have private interests, but that's part of our democracy. Lobbyists do (help) push through a lot of private interest legislation, but other lobbyists push through anti-crime legislation, medical research legislation, and other positive legislation. America certainly has it's problems (and always will), but we are free and will remain free, and can vote for leaders who most closely reflect our views. I personally don't like any of our presidential candidates and I would have picked differently in the primaries, but I'll weigh my options and see who I think will have the most positive impact. I am happy to be an American and live here!

and I'm not trying to sound Americentric, because there are other great places in the world, and actually my wife and I are contemplating moving to one of them (her native country) if her job situation is lost (due to mortgage crisis).

The USA is a Federal Constitutional Republic.

Research John Adams for understanding.

"We are a government of laws, not men."

Speaking of the mortgage crisis, it makes you wonder if it really should be a crime to be that stupid. Now those idiots are causing people alot smarter than them problems.


Here is a hilarious take on the subprime mess:

Everyone else is though. If I lived on an Island off the Belize coast, I'd be free to go wherever i please..

I am aware that Americans aren't allowed, though it hasn't stopped some.

Canadians can go anywhere, except Mexico where they like to kill is for some reason.
Maybe its beer envy.

lol.

I was in New York recently and there are a lot of american citizens living in squalor there. It is likely moreso than what is in Cuba. Seeing as Cubans don't have homelessness to speak of.

I think if you haven't been somewhere, then you really don't have anything to say about it simply because you are posturing from a point of total ignorance.

having said that, Cuba is beautiful, has a better medical system than the USA and has a higher Literacy standing in the world than the USA. Go figure eh? Not exactly what I would call squalor, but then I also understand the tendency for narrow thinking and views coming from developed countries where knowledge is short and prejudice is high. lol

now, I'm not a fan of communism, but I'm even less of a fan of narrow views based on hearsay and nonsense.
