Central America to Unite!
 

With the rate these countries move at, don't be surprised to see them join forces somewhere around 2402 :thumbsup

A summit of Central American leaders on Friday agreed to adopt a common regional currency and passport, among other measures to bolster regional integration in the face of global financial uncertainty, they said in a statement.

The eight leaders vowed to promote "a regional conscience that instills people with a sense of identity and belonging to a united Central American region," including "perfecting the issue of a Central American passport and the adoption of a single Central American currency."

They also resolved to "standardize laws" in the immigration, education and security sectors "that will give greater cohesion to Central American integration and that ensure citizens the benefits of that integration."

A report on progress made on all those issues will be presented at the next Central American summit, the statement added.

Oh the countries involved are:

Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic and Belize.

cocaine?

The Dominican Republic too? Jamaica and Haiti don't want to join in?

"No timetable for instituting the proposals was given."
Well that's not very helpful.

This ain't Amsterdam, Vince. This is a sellers market. Coke is fuckin' dead as... dead. Heroin, it's coming back in a big fuckin' way.

On a related note, the last time (few years ago I think) they tried to get a common currency going they were going to name it SUCRE (sugar) :1orglaugh

lol.. yeah probably that currency is some drug

I lol...

they grow lots of poppies down there?

Which one's Trudi? The one with all the shit in her face?:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yeah I love the indy stuff on IFC and watch it all the time (though I'd def consider Pulp Fiction a mainstream-level indy flick).

Too bad QT "waited too long to do it" (his words) and pretty much announced the idea for the Vega Brothers (Travolta as Vincent and Madsen as Vic) movie is dead now :disgust

On the thread topic, I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon. Latina America doesn't move too fast for anything, unless it's to get to the bar to watch futbol.

Yeah I don't see any around in CR. I'm sure it can be had as anything, but it's just not my thing. My reply to you was because I never pass up the chance to use a solid Pulp quote :winkwink:

If Panama's involved and they set a year for it to happen, say 2015...I'll take the 2025 vote.

This will be totally comical!
