I guess with the lower temperature they’d be less of a threat.
Only for the short term, they’ll adapt and be stronger than ever
And don’t forget, these aren’t normal gators…
These are meth-fueled Florida gators who are as likely to ban books as they are maul a skier.
The Alps won’t know what hit ‘em.
Then I’d be an E.U. citizen? Fuck yeah! Give me two months of vacation!
My condolences, but Florida immediately voted for Flexit
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!
I bet they would if you called it that
That sounds like some shit billy mays would have been shilling on tv 15 years ago.
HI BILLY MAYS HERE FOR FLEXIT, THE ALL IN ONE HOME WORKOUT GYM AND CAR BUMPER REPAIR KIT
But wait, there’s more! Order now and we’ll throw in the Flexit sleeveless shirt, our patented DIY home tattoo kit, and a 6-week supply of bath salts!
Watch them join the british commonwealth to help them cope with the decision
Sweden here we only get 5 weeks vacay. 480 days parental leave though.
People in America and Japan… “‘only’ 5 weeks?!”

Don’t forget we don’t have a limited amount of days were allowed to be sick either.
So, 5 weeks more than we get! That sounds amazing!
My state now has mandatory parental leave, about a year after me and my wife had decided that we didn’t want more kids. Oh well. At least people in the future will benefit.
At least youre not the type to try to stop something because you missed the window on benefitting from it
Even if I were it wouldn’t apply in this case. Having a society with programs like this in place helps everyone even indirectly. I am fine with greed as long as it goes beyond basic right in front of you.
We all benefit from a better world. Sure some more than others but all at least some.
Canadian here. I signed a contract with 4weeks of vacation that was changed to ‘unlimited’ this year. So far I’ve taken 5 weeks and have a 6th week approved in November.
I haven’t used any sick days but they’re unlimited. If you take more than 3 in a row, you need a doctors note.
15 weeks parental leave that can be split between partners (father can use none/some/all to look after child while mother goes back to work)
reeeeeee you hate America!!!

Putting the Vatican below the Bible belt is going to be a disaster
Nah most of the bible belt are baptists, evangelicals, and people who don’t even believe in Christianity but use it as a cover for their fascist bullshit. There is no universe where they would get along with Catholics. Having them be that close to the Catholics would probably result in another protestant vs catholic war.
US Catholics have adapted a lot of the beliefs from the protestant-oriented groups in the US. Try asking Paul Ryan or Rick Santorum if they accept the Vatican’s official stance on evolution and watch them squirm. Having the Vatican be right there would be . . . difficult.
It would still be a disaster what ever happens. I never said them getting along would cause said disaster
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
Nah not really, the catholic church loves going below the belt
Well, the Italian government is going full-on neo-fascist, so it’d probably be a wash, but the food would be so much better!
I’m into it, and I can see mexico and Cuba being into it as well.
So I get rid of the land border with France, but in exchange I get a land border with USA - possibly the only worse country.
Also we lose Sicily and their awesome food and women but we get to keep Sardinia, where the best food is cheese with worms and the best women are one meter tall with moustache.
Bad deal man.
And remember you get a border with the worst part of the USA, even better!
At least there’s no Corsica anymore (Sardinia but Fr*nch 🤢)
Fam, corsicans are the only ones who hate French more than us, they are welcome to rejoin Italy whenever they want.
Knowing very little about the two islands, I find the contrasting descriptions hilarious.
And don’t you wish you kept knowing very little? Instead… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu

The mob would have a field day
NO GOD PLEASE NO
Being in the EU is like the one good part of the Italian government, if you take that out I guarantee we’ll somehow manage to be even worse neighbors than Florida
Likewise. Having trump and orban derail EU together is my worst nightmare. Please, keep an eye on your Florida. Don’t let it sh1t in my backyard.
Counterpoint: I want authentic Italian food
Then come to Italy (or rather: go to France or Austria near the border so you can enjoy Italian food without actually dealing with living in Italy)
I live in Georgia USA I’ve been to FL way too many times Europe doesn’t deserve this.
It’s amazing how quickly it turns to shit on I-75 S when you cross the border. You can just feel the nastiness.
Meth production triples in Europe in just weeks of Florida’s arrival!
Trade Offer:
You receive: Alligators, Meth
You Give: Debt, Mafia
No one is happy. That is how you know you have reached a compromise.

At least with the Alligators you can negotiate.
No
I second this. Hell I might even third it.
Tell me you’re from Europe without telling me you’re from Europe.
You get what you get, and you don’t get upset!
Why is Italy a penis?
NOBODY wants Florida.
I grew up in FL and now live in pacific northwest, still not far enough away…
I’ve never been to Florida. Just the right amount of times
Yes, because the food would be better.
Fuck you, we’re not giving you Italy!

Yes! I don’t want Florida in europe!
I really don’t know who the biggest losers are in that trade.
Europe. Florida has flying cockroaches.
deleted by creator
What part is confusing? They have cockroaches capable of flight. I am still an atheist but if you made me submit a list of arguments for the existence of Satan this would be a bullet point.
Satan punishes bad things, God creates them
Europe, Italy has some of the best food
Europe
Definitely Sicily, they get wiped out in this plan… .
