The south will "try" to rise again

[NEO]

Over under within the next 50 years the south will try to rise again.

I am including Texas in this assumption.

 

[Slydell]

I'm glad the world is ending in December.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Why, makes no sense

 

[milohimself]

I would like to see the western halves of Oregon, Washington and BC combine first.

 

[n_huffhines]

I don't care who secedes, I just want them to f-ing do it already.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Why exactly is it a better option?

 

[golfballs]

I'm pro-secession. If a state wants to leave, have at it.

I think Hawaii would actually be first... those ungrateful bastards.

Why exactly r u for it?

Secession? It's not inherently better than the status quo, but I'd venture to guess it would be for me for 2 reasons:

1) If the seceding state does so on a platform with which I agree, I'm off to start a new nation with like-minded people.
2) If the seceding state does so on a platform with which I disagree, I stay in a US with fewer political opponents.

Why exactly r u for it?

the entertainment value.

Also, because the federal government continues to grow and grab power from the states. I see it as an irreversible tide.

well put

I am for the power to secede because it's the greatest check a state has on the Federal government. I'm all about checks and balances.

What exactly is the plight of the south this time?

Been going on since the civil war, the federal govt by the constitution should have handed power back once the war was over.

So am I, what is the plight?

 

[n_huffhines]

What exactly is the plight of the south this time?

I dunno. In my mind it's more about a generally oppressive federal government than it is about a specific region being treated unfairly.

 

[golfballs]

The seccesionist movement in Hawaii is pretty clear. They don't want public transportation. They walk around barefoot all over the island

Which is reason enough to leave?

Viewed as fanatical if tried.

Would take something earth shattering.

Holy chit

You're all being monitored.

 

[VOLatile]

Let the idiots go, the south is just a burden on this country anyway.

Do tell, please go on

I'm just trolling back.

However, the south is the fattest portion of the country.

Good thing you're so open-minded.

BTW, I know you were trolling.

Supersize Me claimed that Texas had like 6 of America's top 10 fattest cities, LOL
