What have you been smoking?  How dare you use the word "logic" in such a 
stupid statement.

If Mexico invades, I'll set up some margaritas and we'll sit around 
enjoying them and becoming friends.  If Canada invades I guess I'll have 
to ask which drink they prefer.

I guess you've been so far out for so long that you cannot recognize an 
idiotic statement.

I can agree to this, which is why I believe police should resort to 
tasers instead of guns, and face criminal charges if they cannot justify 
the use of a gun.
