I can see how a country would Join the European Union, but how do you "join" the United States? What do you mean by that? Please expound.

Of course when I say 'join' I do not mean become the 51st state but rather "throw our lot in with them".

I must say that in the past European powers have been at war with each other but that's because all of the superpowers were located in one small area (i.e. Europe) with China and India becoming increasingly powerful and other nations such as Russia, Brazil and South Korea gaining more power than the UK, it seems logical that the UK must seek to give up at least some sovereignty as opposed to holding on to this idea that we will become the world's greatest empire again.

This argument clearly is showing how the U.K is becoming the '51st state.' This argument has been presented time and time again, the U.K must work to loosen ties between U.K and U.S. Britain's future lies in Europe...

Screw the both of them, Britain did better than either of them ever could.

EU: thsi would fail as throughout history European countries have always been against each other, the idea of uniting just to beat other powerful countries will never work.

USA:How ironic, USA used to be part of the British Empire and now people are thinking we should join them?
