Wait......... Who thinks New Mexico is another country X-x

They exist, I have had plenty of friends who have met them. One of my old teachers had someone ask her if she needed a passport to come here...

AKjsdkjgdfkgjWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

I've heard some stupid thing..... REALLY stupid things, but that had to be in the top 5

How about Canada being the 51st state?

Naw, they'd never stoop to our level (longitudinally, lol, get it?). I could see the USA breaking apart and becoming separate nation states, before I see Canada ever deciding we're worth joining. :P

Join the US? We're more likely to lure a few States away from them with promises of medical marijuana, better banks, gay marriage, legal music downloading, and not-being-a-total-police-state-yet.

I meant some people think Canada is the 51st states, not that we should join them.

I thought the super-secret hockey commando squads killed all those people. Must've missed a few.

lol

you need to kill everyone in quebec first

I meant some people think Canada is the 51st states, not that we should join them.

Had somebody on Xbox Live tell me to move back to India when I said I was from Indianapolis. These people exist. :D

Oh God, i thought it at this very moment, then i realize it was Mexico instead...

I've been watching you for a long time and I don't think I ever realized you lived in the same state as me. And yeah I hate it when people forget we exist, we're one of the top 5 biggest states after all.

That's probably even worse than people thinking Canada is a state.

Them Texans. Always messin' with ya.

Bah! America is NOT a real country! I am an Englishman in a box!

Actually, yeah it is--but I still, as an american, say that "the sun never sets on the British empire", because...without that empire, we wouldn't be here, and it's former colonial holds around the world were and are still influenced by western (UK/British/English) society. The sun still never sets on the British empire. :3

And it's /Australia/ you're thinking of. They're still just a colony, technically speaking. :P

Wait wait wait... you're telling me that New Mexico isn't a F5 version of Mexico? Lies and slander.

The only non-state in the US is Wyoming. Garfield and Friends said so.

Lol, instant win for old reference. XD

>"West Texas"

Dohoho. That's actually pretty accurate.

ONE OF OUR FIFTY IS MISSING AGAIN!


Oh lawd. Great tribute there, BGN. I giggled x3

ive been through nm many times usually at night very beautiful open sky but its own seperate country i guess that goes to show you americas schooling sucks

Seriously? There are people who think New Mexico is another country? That's.... epic amounts of embarrassing >.>

In the furry fandom, that doesn't actually surprise me with how dumb some of it's participants actually are. Then again, that doesnt surprise me on a national level, furry or not, either, with how dumb the general population of the USA is becoming.

I remember back when the Olympics were in Athens GA or in SLC UT, there was a story that someone called from NM to purchase tickets for events and the person in ticket sales kept telling them they had reached the number for in-US sales and needed to talk to someone in their own country's ticket office.

Sounds dubious, but I couldn't find anything on snopes to refute it.

I've heard the same thing, too. And it doesn't surprise me. A dispatcher once mixed up LA--that is, Las Angeles--with LA--that is, Louisiana.

Los Angeles. Sorry, it was late.

Bulls! <3

PPl think New Mexico is another country Weird. I wonder why we havnt invaded it yet to steal its gold. Lol

Happy Birthday New Mexico

And...there's still only what? Two major cities and vast deserts there? Not much of a country, so no choice but to be a state. I could see them, arizona, utah and nevada joining forces someday to become the "southwest states of america", should the USA ever fall apart--but that's mainly because nobody else would want them. *snickers*

Still, happy birthday, desert!

Also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA at the "west texas". :P That's awesome.

Do you know what the difference is between brilliance and ignorance is?

I was a buyer for an Albuquerque jewelry company and a woman in a New York company refused to take my purchase order because they "don't have an import licence". I went on to explain to her that we ARE a state and she still insisted that she couldn't import product out of the country. I asked for here supervisor and she told me she was the head of sales. I then had to ask to speak to the owner. I said to him to "get that woman a friggin' MAP".

Peanut: Like Mexico, but fresher!

The funny thing is, I saw this submission and suddenly, a "New Mexico" category was announced on Jeopardy. X)

I know it's not Florida's hundredth anniversary, but this piece inspired me to make a little something for my state.

Truthfully, I remember New Mexico because of Roswell ._.

x.x

From http://rinkworks.com/said/tourism.shtml:

"Sorry, we don't sell tickets outside of the U.S. . . . I don't care how new Mexico is, we don't sell tickets outside the U.S." -- A ticket salesperson for the 1996 Olympics, on the phone with someone from New Mexico.

"100 years later and some people still think New Mexico is another country.
Oh well. xD"
LMFAO!! XD

YAAAAY!!!! MY HOME STATE!!!!!

its those people who are so... Gun ho about the fact they grew up there and have no brains that say 'Howdy Yall! I come from the Great Country Of Texas!'

I lol'd so hard. Thank you.

Just take a left turn at Albuquerque, it's there, somewhere...

Wow, really NM's 100 now? It's just a few years younger than OK!

---

Americans always bring their passports to NM, even though it's not necessary... <_<

A century of being better than old Mexico!

not new, and not mexico. just new mexico.

I live in New Mexico too, though I'm not much of a social person.
