Hoooray!! *fires off a few rounds into the air*

Um.. what's GST?

Green Stampeding Termites, duh.

Goods and Services Tax, I'm afraid.

Oh, sorry - not a new tax, a new tax system.

No taxation without representation! It being nearish independence day and all I have to advise you to break away from the motherland. It worked for us.

*looks at how much taxes come out of her paycheck* Um... Um... what the fun happened here? Ahhh well, so much for an independant state of affairs.

Hey, our taxes are nasty, but they aren't as oppressive as the commonwealth nations, in fact, I hear that Canada is up to about 70%. That's way more than our cap here in the states, however, there are also some more services rendered (not those kind), like free health care (such as it is) and what not.

Yes, but see, it's all in how it gets used. There are taxes that are still being collected for the second world war. These important funds are being used to do exciting things like building car parks in parts of the country where there are very few people.

Governments are stupid. All of them. I think I'm gonna become a punk rocker, man.

Not only that, we are "volunteering" our money to go to help fight the Germans, when we now love them, money well spent, if you are a former member of the KGB, not that I'm saying that any members of our government are, but that their behavior is very similar.

Yes but most of our govenment are not clever enough to lern russanso canot be KGB than only leavs one thing really dosent it. Its the Irish they have been blowing themselvs up for years and have got bord so are starting on the rest of the world (befor any one is to afended I am actully Irish but am living in briten so I can skit my owne coutry if I wont to)

Yes you can. The thing is, I really believe in the idea that the people who started this whole government idea had. I really believe in the original idea. Unfortunatly, in a corruptable system you attract people willing and able to corrupt.

They're all a pack of wild b*****d dogs and I'm going to move to a small desert island where the only rule is you have to eat lots of cocanut, drink lots of rum, swim and not wear any clothes. Yep, that's m' plan.

sounds like fun

I'm there too, but only if there's an endless supply of margaritas

And other assorted alcoholic beverages....

Absolutely. All that means is that we'll have to bring the lovely Emmy. She's also killer in a bikini.

I'll allow clothes if it's Emmy in a bikini. I mean, the boys have to have something to watch if there's no tv.

I am glad you are thinking of all the people on this irland but I dont wach TV and more importantly how will I be able to get online.

I'm sorry, but who gives a f*!k about TV when there's naked girls running around (as well as a solitary one in a bikini)? As for the online thing, we'll just have to have laptops and cellular phones. Which probably means that we'll need our own cell site, but so be it.

Well said. That was my thought as well. I would much rather lie around naked on a sandy beach drinking alk-e-hol and getting all brown from the sun than be on the computer.

Perhaps if we get one of those satalite dooamawhackies though, we can all do both at the same time!! Just don't take laptops in the water.

*trudges up wearing a tattered Gilligan costume*

Alms...alms for the sober....alms...

*wishes for potato skins, keels over*

What the hell is that all about.

Any way back to the propper conversation. Now lets think a minit, if we could not get on line we could not be having conversations like this one (and befor someone makes that smartased comment off we would all be together I meane with other people) and we would need some one els to talk to other than eachother because whe a bunch of people are confined to a small space they piss eachother off to easally

What the hell are you about? If you can't play then get out of the thread. Be nice.

*goes and helps Spartus up*

Did you pack tons of clothes and some electronics for your three-hour tour little buddy?

*slaps Krissy on the wrist for the clothes remark*

Now, I think that given the achohol content, as well as the fact that everyone is running around naked should be enough to be interested in for a long time. As far as the posting thing goes, all we need is a t1 run under the water, kinda like they did to bridge the Atlantic, only smaller, but as long as we're all just wishing, let's go with the backbone.

*posts a no dressing sign for all to see*
