Why don't we pool our money and buy an large island somewhere...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

And build a country where we all take care of each other, medical care is free, and we don't have to work our asses off for the basics of life? Wouldn't that be nice? :shrug:

1. i vote malta...

http://www.visitmalta.com :thumbsup:

[NewJeffCT]

2. that might require a few bucks

good idea, though!

[tjwmason]

36. I fear it's already taken.

But a good choice nonetheless.

[jukes]

3. a lovely idea!

i'd get "shunned", though, and have to live in a cave or something...

[ThomCat]

25. So long as you don't mind some company

we'll shun you as much as you want. :)

4. Here's a shopping list. Canada west coast

5. Can we eliminate credit ratings?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. Definately.

And Matcom can run the news channel. :evilgrin:

6. We could infiltrate Montana

The DU membership is just a little less than the population
of said State. Then seceed(sp) from the USA, and form our own
Utopia. Sounds like a plan. :)

[KitchenWitch]

7. Works for me

Montana is GORGEOUS!

[havocmom]

18. There's almost eight hundred thousand DUers?

Who knew?

Wouldn't work. There are too many DUers who are always putting Montanans down. The dental floss brigade especially.

Am thinking the weather might be more than a lot of you could take too. ;)

[SeattleGirl]

8. Now THERE'S an idea I can get behind!

:bounce:

9. We could just all move to Norway.

Island. Medical care is free. Excellent quality of life.

Plus, we wouldn't have to hassle with all the fucking problems of setting up a new government. Extra bonus: Norway's PM is super fucking hot.

[Zookeeper]

24. I second the vote for Norway.

Although the Canadian wilderness would work, too.

[JVS]

10. Everyone who wants to can send me a check made out to "cash"

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. Nope.

They'd have to send them to me. I'm probably the most honest one and my husband is awesome with money. :evilgrin:
Duckie

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Excellent! I will move there.

I'll be the guy who does nothing but sit around drinking martini's all day, complaining that you guys aren't bringing me food and money fast enough.

I love communism! It's the lazy person's paradise.

[Brigid]

14. We may need to do just that,

If Republicans retain control of the House and Senate, and win in 2008. No government spying allowed on the island, right? :evilgrin:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. None.

[Harley Quinn]

16. Actually...

that's my SO's retirement plan! Just switch private island to the Montana version and he'd be there in a heartbeat!

He's military right now, but he's planning to take his money and invest it into some land, build a farm, work the fields. (He's done all kinds of WWOOF'ing and such.) He'd like to keep some space for wanderers and others of like-mind. DU'ers will certainly be welcome!

[miss_american_pie]

17. Surely we could come up with 3 million among us all

;)

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. So that's what the rich and famous do with their tax cuts, they buy

up private islands. Must be nice. Tell me again why the super rich need permanent tax cuts?

[Southsideirish]

19. Could buy up a tract of land in the mtns. of western North Carolina

and form an intentional community. Everybody builds their own home but we all take care of each other.

[peekaloo]

20. I call dibs on the shadiest tree closest to the water!

[Liberalynn]

21. I'm in

as long as we have tons of books and DVDs?

[maveric]

22. Can we have naked drum circles and grow our own "chronic" weed?

If so then it'll have to be in a tropical climate. Like an island off the Cota Rican coast.

[swimboy]

34. maveric, true visionary

:thumbsup:

[pitohui]

23. we don't have enough money to pool

besides all the islands are going to be underwater in a few years, global warming you know, ask the marshall islanders, they are all going to have to move to springdale arkansas and work for tyson

[TheMightyFavog]

26. We can't...

We're busy pooling our money so we can rent a nuclear attack sub from the Russians so we can go plunderin' and pillagin' when the next "Freeps Ahoy" cruise leaves port.

[xchrom]

28. i'm down -- as long as sui generis and swimboy are there.

i like to look at swimboy.

[swimboy]

33. Hey, pal!

:loveya:

[xchrom]

35. hey!

:hi:

[RebelOne]

29. I will donate to a large island, but not an large island.

[NewWaveChick1981]

30. Sounds great!

Count me in, as long as we can include free personal services for everyone, like massages. :D

[realisticphish]

31. no

one psycho freeper with a nuke, and we lose all of the hope for the earth :shrug:

[baldguy]

32. NO! Because WE ARE THE AMERICANS!

WE are right! WE are in the majority!

The freepers & neocons are the aberration. THEY are the people who need to be marginalized & expelled!
