Happy Birthday South Sudan!

[Blue]

Belated wishes to the creation of the world's newest nation South Sudan.

The country declared independence from Sudan (country south of Egypt) on Friday the 8th, and is expected to be accepted by the UN General Council as the 193rd Member-State on Thursday this week.

Your thoughts?

Happy independence day S.S.

 

Sorry you're stuck with joining the UN, it's one of the biggest problems that should never have been made.

[Bjossi]

UN stands for UnNecessary as everyone knows.

You can't spell unnecessary without the UN.

Sorry folks but I have to continue with the monologue, I can do these jokes all night.

 

Warm welcomes to S-Sudan into the planet's complex web of artificial lines drawn on the surface.

[ProHypster]

So why are we congratulating Sudan and not North Sudan???

I haven't really followed the event there but I know they had wars, learned that in history....

 

Also, is this really a good thing, when a nation splits into two?

[Bjossi]

Ask the Koreas. Splitting is the one thing they can agree on.

[Doom Shepherd]

Worked all right for Slovakia and the Czech Republic, too.

 

Although I worry about the day the US may divide into the Holy Fundie Christian Psychotic Empire, and Hippiestan.

 

(Although I figure I could invade Hippiestan and conquer it in about a week... silly pacifists.)

Call me, I'll help.

Congrats to S.S., don't forget to join the UN so you can sap money and military protection from the UK and US!

I don't know whether to welcome or shun this new "country."

 

Are they succeeding to form a freer, capitalistic nation? If so, welcome to the world, South Sudan!

 

Are they succeeding to form another Islamic dictatorship? I think this is probably what will happen; I doubt the Sudanese even know what freedom is. In that case, it's even more important that we invest in Israel.

The civil war in Sudan has been mainly between the Islamic North and the Christian/Animist South. I very much doubt that the Christian South would be seceding to form an Islamic dictatorship.

That's what they want you to think, Doom Sheperd.

[Blue]

Rather, that suspicion is what you want us to think, Ian.

That's what they want you to want Ian to want you to think, Blue. Adjust your tinfoil hat; the mind-control rays are seeping in!
