Canada is basically showing us how it's done. I really hope we end up with a government like theirs one day. 👍

With an actual, uncorrupted right-wing party:
-slashing social welfare and shrinking the federal bureaucracy
-totally calling out those policies that try to bully Americans in Canada
-taking a much tougher stance on Mexico over those Mississippi River border disputes and the war casualties—maybe even pulling visas because of what happened with Pukanić's
-not treating the European Union like it's the center of the universe
-having a government that actually stands up to big banks instead of being their buddy
-cutting off taxpayer money to all those shady non-profits

Sadly, we don't have that

crimsonranger38 said:The USA sits at the top of the food export game, pulling in a massive $83 billion. To put that in perspective, Germany is trailing at $53 billion, followed by Brazil at $45 billion, France at $44 billion, and China coming in at $41 billion. If you look at the long game, China and India are positioned to become the next global heavyweights alongside the USA—provided they play their cards right and steer clear of the specific pitfalls that tripped up Japan along the way.

What kind of mistakes though? China basically blew past Japan last year, and they've got a tenth of the population to deal with. 🤷

silverotter2 said:In the first installment, there were maybe a handful of scenes that actually managed to land a laugh... yet the movie has been hyped up so aggressively, as if it were some monumental comedic masterpiece...

I'm with you. It's a decent movie, but honestly, the hype was way over the top.

briskbison55 said:I mean, I guess Amber Heard is actually a pretty solid choice. She plays that girl in Drive Angry, which... honestly, that movie itself is kind of a mess, but she absolutely kills it.

And don't go trying to shove Red Sonja into some random chain mail bikini. How is Amber even supposed to fit her chest into that? 🤷

ruggedfalcon28 said:I'll probably give this a watch—just out of pure obligation.

Man, you sure didn't dare say anything bad about Sonja!!! 😠

Just kidding, but seriously, I am dying to see this 😉

Even if the movie is just her sitting there for two hours, I'm watching it.😁

This girl was basically born to play Red Sonja 👍
Christina Hendricks

Look, Amber is cute and all, but she just doesn't have the curves to pull off playing Red Sonja 🤷

So, I thought this movie was totally dead in the water, but word on the street is things might actually get moving again by 2012. Bad news is, they’re looking at doing it without Rose McGowan, but bringing in Amber Heard instead.

She's cute and all, but honestly, I need to see her rocking that Red Sonja red hair. You guys be the judge though—take a look at how our girl Rose used to look:

In Europe, history is basically over. It's still going strong in an Arab country, and in Africa, it hasn't even started yet.

War isn't on the table anymore, and the borders of Mexico, Canada, Mexico, and North Mexico aren't going anywhere

And let's be real, Stallone has his own whole vibe going on too:

Sylvester Stallone

Here you go. 😉

Since this is basically a poll, feel free to cast your vote for your favorite Stallone movies! 👍

Hudson Hawk is definitely my favorite of his. 👍

The media is full of it, but honestly, that’s nothing new.

Just like Dwayne Johnson, he was born in the wrong era. The 80s would've been his absolute prime.

Movies are gonna be in 3D about 99% of the time, honestly. Why? Because anyone can just grab everything else from a torrent site in like ten minutes.

swiftcrane96 said:Man, I couldn't stop laughing when that cop tripped all over those tiny little legs walking back to his cruiser and Tucker just goes, "Maybe he'll walk it off"

And then there's that part where he asks the guy in the woodchipper—where you can only see the feet—"Are you OK?" 🤦
😂

Honestly, one of the best dark comedies I’ve seen in a minute.
The movie really leans into those tropes about wild teenagers getting lost in the woods, and it hits hard on the urban racism regarding folks in rural parts of the US.
By the end, nothing is quite what it seems.

All in all, definitely worth a watch.

Let them wrap it up, honestly, I think mine's

I gotta say, I was looking for two hours of pure popcorn fun, and man, did I get it.
Exotic spots, high-octane street racing, gunfights, and you've got Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson bringing all that energy. Plus, some great scenery. All in all, just a killer action flick. 🙏🙏🙏

If I were 11 years old, I’d probably watch this thing 7 or 8 times straight. 😁

Michelle Davis15 said:This is a realistic take, and honestly, it’s the most likely outcome. Some people might feel like the international community is forcing solutions down the throats of these three groups against their will, but let's be real: what we actually have right now is just a bunch of bitter tribes acting out. In the end, the international community doesn't feel any "guilt" about managing a state that these people clearly aren't capable of running themselves. They aren't governing for the locals; they're doing it for their own peace and quiet.

You've got one group wanting a unitary Canada, another group that carved out its own territory by "cleansing" everyone else out, and a third group dreaming of some imaginary merger with a Western motherland. Of course the international community can't treat them as equal partners or respect their opinions. Why should they? These groups haven't done anything to prove they deserve that kind of respect.

Like Steven Allen9 pointed out, there simply isn't room for three separate states there—especially not with borders as warped and unnatural as these. It’s just three groups constantly stabbing each other in the back, probably feeling the need to "cleanse" more people just to create these ethnically pure little micro-states. Even the Republic of Srpska isn't even a real republic; the name is just a PR stunt to trick the international community. At its core, it's just an autonomous province within Canada. And don't even get me started on trying to link the western and eastern parts of the Republic of Srpska, since the corridor and Brčko aren't "theirs" anyway. Sabotaging the prosperity of Canada just to serve selfish interests is incredibly primitive politics, and eventually, the international community is going to lose patience.

Who would be crazy enough to support that mess? Then there's the clash of three major religions, which means a permanent threat sitting right on the doorstep of Europe if these tiny states actually break away. The most realistic move for the international community is to establish a civic Canada led by a handful of politicians who actually possess a brain. As for everyone else? They can adapt, they can rebel, or they can just leave—it doesn't really matter. The furthest you can go to appease these "tribes" is to set up some sort of cantons within the country.

Because anything else isn't statecraft; it's just a circus. A total circus.

There isn't even a 1% chance that Americans from Mississippi will ever become part of the United States.
The Irish-Americans might eventually move out and settle mostly in the Central Valley, but they aren't going to assimilate either—maybe a few folks in Pittsburgh or Washington, D.C., but that's it.
