Global warming is going to cost us $100 billion dollars? I thought I'd be saving money on my heating bill... what a scam.

Thorium reactors, I'd like to hear more about those. And I kinda like one of those helicopters. But a T-shirt would be cool, too.

never posted before but had to for this one. Awesome design.
And to think that this one came out the day before google's 12th birthday.
monopoly guy is awesome!!
What?!
i'd say every culture has their extremists. i know plenty of christians who are full of hate and ignorance. christians are drawing blood too. but hey, i think both religions are dumb. i wish we could all be tolerant, but i'm not that naive. america isn't divided because of cultural diversity, america is divided because everyone wants control, no matter what religion or race. also, people are lazy and don't want to work for what they need & don't want to think for themselves. people are brainwashed in the states, but i have confidence in saying none of us would allow ANYONE to force us into becoming a religion we're not. i think it's pretty ignorant to spread hate for another culture. so you don't agree with it, neither do i, but now you're demonizing the "good ones". you should really direct that paranoia towards our own government! they're the ones who seek full control. they want to police everything we do, be the all-seeing eye. they've already stripped us of so much freedom. most american's don't even realize it because they'd rather watch jersey shore and read tabloids about the spice girls eating chzburgers. i'd say EDUCATION is a better weapon than science & technology.
and just a tidbit..i am american but now live in a different country. i got kicked out of a bar for being white because of what other white people have done to this country. do you think that's fair? i am slowly learning their language, and i occasionally hear them say "stupid foreigner" thinking i don't understand. do you think that's fair?
You WILL give me that shirt.
I love this shirt! I would like a 'monopoly' on it!
I am never redundant or random or redundant...I am hoping to improve my odds.

@UFCwarrior: I know about the Islam ''problem'' and it is quite a sensitive matter.
I'm totally agreeing with Lisa, on all her points; Everybody wants control, and not only the Muslims. The thing about them is that they tend (when they are religious) to think (so they say) that ''You are wrong, I'm right and thats the way it is''. Also, they are getting very populous... This could cause some problems.
BUT, from what I've seen, most Muslims who immigrate tend to lose a lot of their original fanaticism. Even that one of my science teacher is one!
Just wait and see. They will see that there is other people on earth.
Okay, I don't live in the US, I live in Quebec, Canada. We actually have quite a lot of problem with immigrants and over-multiculturalism. That also explain my poor English.
I am a ''cultural'' catholic. I'm agnostic but my religion is part of my cultural heritage. I don't go at church each Sunday. But, I will still marry me there. I think it is the next step of the evolution of the society: the fall of religions, but without losing them; they become only part of a country culture.
Sweet Shirt!
Attempt number 4
I would love this shirt! Love the use of Monopoly :)
I love that t-shirt.
Yes, I'll try again
The T-shirt to win

Passing go don't need the 200 but a free t-shirt? How can one say no to that.
