Well we know Tim's, whats yours? Here's mine :)
Get an island off the coast of the US, tropical of course, and secede from the united states. Now all of my african american friends talk about 'going to the mother land' but what about white me? Where do I go?
Thats why my island will be called 'Caucasia', so all the caucasians can visit their motherland. I'd make enough money off of the tourists, that I could run a huge OC-192 out to the island and everyone would be able to enjoy very hi speed internet :D . That's the dream in short.. what's yours?

Edit:
Speeling erorrs

Are you sure you won't need a white sheet and hood supplier? You can put up a slogan "We're in South in the 50's, all day, every day". It'll, of course, start a myth about how people come to visit, but they mysterously disappear. :-)

Thats why my island will be called 'Caucasia', so all the caucasians can visit their motherland. Among the many problems with your plan are these: the name's already been taken (where do you think the term "Caucasian" came from?); each of us already has a "mother land" in a country that our ancestors came from, so your tropical island will not be it; and you'll be unlikely to succeed in your attempt to secede.

Personally I'd rather be in a place populated with people of diverse cultures and backgrounds -- which I guess is why I choose to live in New York -- but to each his own.

I guess that would mean his dream island for his lineage, (I'm guessing) would be the tropical islane of England.

At least you must admit that my "succeed/secede" spelling flame was subtle.

In that I succeeded; he went back and fixed it! Total Victory!Anyway, don't worry about it, I'm not.Me neither.

There's the problem with correcting people's spelling:
secede: To withdraw formally from membership in an organization, association, or alliance

He was correct the first time. If anything your correction would only be valid is he succeeded to secede, becoming his own nation :D

That's the problem with reading the thread late, after the spelling error has been corrected; and with not reading it carefully. He said he planned to "succeed from the united states." I said "you'll be unlikely to succeed in your attempt to secede." He took the hint and corrected the spelling in his post (and was straight up enough to say so in the final comment in the post); therefore I commented that I had succeeded in pointing out the error.

Then you failed to succeed in keeping up with the fast-changing situation, and in catching such details as the "speeling erorrs" comment in that first post.

Come on... can anyone really be reading my posts and thinking that I might not know the proper meaning of "secede?"
