We have never faced ourselves in quite the same way we do today.

We had a civil war you know.

But Texas was never in the civil war! If Texas had been in the confederacy, the South would have won!

I wouldn't mind seeing Texas succeed and reform the Republic of Texas. We would reconquer our land in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

I wouldn't mind seeing Texas turned into a glass parking lot.

Spoken like someone with no understanding of U.S. history. The Civil War and Great Depression were easily far worse be it qualitatively or quantitatively.

Uhmmm... Texas was part of the Confederacy, the seceded on February 1st, 1861, before even states like Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

They got their asses kicked.

Awesome. I feel better now.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

and wit is the salt of conversation - not the food.

More than likely this thread will have many words. When the table is full, it's not more that's needed. It's the seasoning.

You were busy seasoning before the table had even been set...

Igor Panarin:
saying their great psychological stress is evident from school shootings, the size of the prison population and the number of gay men.

The social conservatives were right after all?:Q

God, we can't even get alternative political parties or ideas and people think the country is going to break up? Who the hell is going to drive that movement?
I'd see portions of it taken over by gangs before a legitimate attempt by a political authority to secede.

So someone from Russia, a country whose currency is on the verge of collapse, whose main export and source of government income (oil and metal) has collapsed, and whose equity markets have been pounded so hard that they have had to cease trading several times, is predicting the demise of other countries? With the fall of oil, Russia's 15min of fame are over. They can join Chavez and their other oil buddies in the poor house.

How he pulled the breakup out of his ass is beyond me. There might be some racial tensions and such in this country, but it pales in comparison to the many ethnic tensions that exist within Russia and many other 2nd-3rd world countries. We all share roughly the same values, ie Sports, American Idol, McDonalds, and StarBucks.

Spoken like a true misrepresentation.

First, the Great Depression does not relate to the Civil War. Second, the Civil War is not quite the same scenario we face today. Modern society and government is much different than it was in the 1800s.

We have NEVER faced a socialist government on our own soil before.

Obviously you don't remember the thread where some guy claimed Texas wasn't in the Confederacy. Do I need to start adding sarcasm tags?
