The Amero/North American Union - The world becoming one.

[Elkaa]

As the title says, what are you views on the proposed Amero, or the North American Union.

North American Union
What is the plan? Simple, erase the borders. USA, Canada and Mexico will be joined as one. (Note: This has already started to take effect. New Canadian driving licences contain the NAU logo on them)

Amero
What is the plan? Simple, become like the Euro. Scrap the USD and CAD, and make it into the Amero. (Note: This currency is already in production)

[FlyingJesus]

Won't make much difference, just means that the Asian and African countries will then do something similar and we'll just have continents instead of countries. It's probably a reply to Europe, gonna offer up competition which could be good for trade, as competition around you always means you can get better deals

[Elkaa]

Given the USD is falling at a dramatic rate, I can see them implementing this sooner, rather than later. Currently its received very little publicity, and I only knew about it as I'm studying economics.

If it was to benefit the entire world, they'd of ensured it was public, as they did with Europe.

Won't be long before the entire world trades in the same currency ;)

[alexxxxx]

A rival to the EU then eh?

I'm surprised that they are opening up borders with mexico as they have terrible problems with illegal immigration.

[FlyingJesus]

If they open the borders then immigration won't be seen as a problem and they won't have to deal with it ^_^

Well, I think Amero is horrible to prounounce, assuming I'm pronouncing it correctly; "uh-mair-row".

[Corporal]

Whats so bad with keeping them how they are?

ah-mare-o

I think is how you pronounce it...

And this is a great idea for AMERICA, what with the falling value of the dollar and the declining economy due to importation/exportation from china and other rising countries..but Canada and Mexico wise.. I'm not entirely sure it will be the greatest idea for those two countries..

[alexxxxx]

tbh Amero sounds like a cheap rip-off of the Euro. Haha. The USA has the largest economy, but it's starting show cracks (mortgage crisis).

The EU is already looking pretty solid as one bloc atm.

[Elkaa]

Economies are stronger as they get bigger.

[Okeanos]

It has nothing to do with the countries joining as one, it’s just a common currency.

[alexxxxx]

why did i say the EU is looking pretty strong? i don't think it really is. moment of madness.

And you actually believed that? Talk about gullible...

All sorts of bogus ideas are posted on the net you need to take them with a pinch of salt and maybe a dash of reality aswell

And maybe you need to get a pinch of realism and realise that not every website is a fraudulent/conspiratory website..

also a dash of compassion and respect would do well accordingly :)

Compassion? For what may I ask lmao

Why should I have any respect for anyone who believes such rubbish?

[-:Undertaker:-]

I disagree, certain countrys will not have as mant resouces as others so it would be a drain on the economy. I am against unions, especially as the UN, EU and UK unions are all so corrupt and unfair.

I'm against you, you act as if you know EVERYTHING! But you dont.

SHUT UP FOR ONCE.

Compassion probably wasn't the correct word: just stick with the key word: "respect"..

Also I can call your opinion rubbish? But it's just disrespectful, if it's such rubbish please say why in stead of just disregarding it.

I know what i'm talking about unlike you. Your post had nothing to do with the thread so why don't you either not post or post something that will put a case aross? I can see you'll go far :rolleyes:

The UN is fairly useless to be fair, they sit there have a chat and nothing really seems to get done (apart from human rights shizzle), the EU ISN'T ENTIRELY useless. Also, the UK is kind of a union, but also a country tbh.

Unions show some resistance towards large forces (ie. Russia, China and USA). Do we want these super-powers to rule the earth? The sooner the EU combines and all EU countries are obsolete the better. We need some pro-european party.

We don't benefit from the EU, only the eastern europians do who use it to come here. I do want super powers to rule but I want the United States to rule. The US is our friend and shares our values unlike China and Russia. The day China has more of a swing over world politics I will be scared.

I do not want to lose my identity to the EU, why should we join, that would mean we lose what little identity we have left and we'll be in a dictatorship. The EU is becoming more and more like the USSR

[reindeer.]

amero sounds cool.

We all vote for our MEPs in the EU - it's a democracy (The USSR wasn't, and it was communist) Also, each state has a period of presidency. The UK's wasn't too long ago (though i believe everyone in the EU should vote for a single person to become president). And we won't loose our identity, we speak English. The Americans already think of us as 'Europe' and they don't even know the difference between Britain, the UK and England.Noone really cares about us as a nation.

And yes we do benefit, it allows us to purchase goods from Europe without import duty, it allows us to go on holiday and travel without needing visas, we can work freely within the EU (which eastern europeans can't YET). The East Europeans will stop coming soon, when their economy becomes on par with other EU countries - which is happening gradually.

Most countries have different parts which are richer than other. Wales for example has a worse economy than some states in the EU and the south of Italy is much poorer than the north. The EU has the largest economy in the world. Though atm i think it's the wrong time to revert to the euro. Our pound is particularly strong at the moment.

Just because some political parties vote for some left wing pro-euro polititions in the EU doesn't mean it's a democracy. The EU is dominated by Left wingers and nations such as France and Germany push us around. Once this new union comes in we give up our right to veto most decisions made which concern our country, is that democracy?

On the trade issue, we could still trade with these nations with EU or without, the fact is the UK pays more money into the EU than it gets out of it so if we left we would be better off.

I know my parents voted for the East Midlands' MEP, people vote in the MEPs (at least in this country). And the lisbon treaty (which is mostly just the European Constitution) does give away some sovereignty, however, the MEPs are not going to pass any strange laws, as they'd affect their own countries too. I'm not interested in the UK joining the Shegen Agreement yet, as I believe the UK and Ireland and prime targets for immigrants, which i don't mind, unless they aren't skilled. I don't trust some EU countries to understand how dense our country is.

We don't benefit from the EU in a monetary way however we do recieve benefits as I have said above!

We are about to sign away many of our remaining veto's and did you know the new EU Courts will be able to have the power to overule and veto's/disagreements in your own country. They will pass strange laws and give away our freedom as they have done in the past and are about to do within the next few months, they are all left wingers who want Britain to become part of this sponging biased union. We don't benefit AT ALL.

Yeah we will be giving up some sovereignty. However, YES it is 'leftwingers' that want us in the union, and last general election, labour won the election, meaning (in theory) there are more people who support Labour's ideas than the Conservatives - which includes their policy of signing the Lisbon treaty. And I know labour is under alot of pressure - I can't see the conservatives winning the next election. They seem like they think you'll vote for them cause Labour is crap and just promising things that i can't see them delivering.

And if you think you'd prefer the USA to become a super power - that's pathetic. They don't care about the UK. They'll use anything they want to get what they want - invading Iraq and Afghanistan (with our government blindly following). The EU needs to be a body which can act as a neutral force between China/Russia/USA.

We do benefit from the fact there is free-trade and free-movement between us and the continent - and we get protection from stupid/unjust laws from our own government (European Human Rights).

[FlyingJesus]

This has gotten onto UK vs EU now.. if people are gonna keep posting then either show some respect to the topic by keeping to it, or make a new thread.

Sorry yeah. Gone off topic.

Anyways. I can't see it happening.

Labour won because of Scotland, I am english therefore the Labour Government isn't my countrys choice. The Conservatives also got many more votes than Labour but the way the seat system works it kept Labour in power. Labour also promised in their manifesto that their would be a poll on EU membership, this seems to have disappeared now?

America do care for us, it is only this present Administration which will be outdone very soon that have treated us, their own people and the Iraqis badly. You are judging America on the present government which is wrong. The americans generally care about us as they normally listen to us, don't tax us. Unlike the EU, they hate us.

Personally I don't want free for all movement, that means our country can easily be accessed by people wanting to sponge off us and terrorists can get in then, leaving us powerless.

The EU Act itself is a pathetic act, it has been the main root of PC and as I ahve said before, EU = Labour/Liberal pen pushers.

Does it matter?
If a heathly debate is started from a thread I see no problem.

.

You do realise that this EU refurendum (sp?) about handing over power to Brussels is not the refurendum that Gordon Brown is just going to sign. The refurendum that we won't be voting on is ammendments to our current one. We are still getting a vote on the refurendum that has been on the news etc.

Do you want me to tell you what I think? I think the only reason that you are against the EU, is the fact that you're too right-wing and you bum off the conservatives/UKIP too much that you're blind to the benefits of the EU. Losing Money =/= No Benefit. We get significant protection from the EU as citizens. If something law-wise goes wrong, or if there is an injustice, we can go to the EU for support against our government. It keeps our government in check - in theory.

[Virgin Mary]

I'm concerned with the name "Amero"... just wth

It doesn't matter, I don't want us closer and closer to the EU, very soon our rights will disappear as a country.

Would you like me to say you bum off the Liberals and Labour too much?

You say the EU protects us as citzens but consider this..


If a extremist government which was evil did get in, the EU would be powerless.
The UN already has all of these laws in place so the point of the EU is what?
The EU does normally overule decisions as they are left wing, therefore they support shorter prison terms and so on. The majority of this country are right wing Conservatives whether you like it or not, and they do not want brussels having power over our justice system turning it into more of a joke than it already is.
If a evil government did get into power in our country there would probably be a coup by the military.The EU is a regime that just wants to control everybody, it is a left wingers dream just like the Soviet Union was. The benefits you claim we get from the EU (even if the benefits did exist) still do not out weigh the financial and controlling black hole that the EU is.
