Well said sir. I second your bullshit.Serge A. Storms said:
Also, I can forgive Rick Perry for threatening to succede on account of he's crazy enough to carry around a luger when he walks his daughter's dog and SHOOTS COYOTES UNPROVOKED.
Wow, your comment just jumped out at me slapped me in the face and said this guy knows what he's talking about, we can't blame the Pres for everything, there are areas he may be failing in but he himself really can't be held responsible for all of this (you have no idea how hard it was for me to type that, I fall in the "not a fan of Obama" category) The citizen of the US of A need to change Congress first (you mentioned approval rating at an all time low, now we just got to get them out)Xpwn3ntial said:
I suspect you and I will have different outlooks on this but I think its pretty cool that you kinda see things the same way I do
There has been a big moment in Hawaii to do this for a long time, and whats up with all the hate for Texas?blalien said:
I sincerely doubt the United States would break up. You'd be pretty hard-pressed to not say we're extremely polarized; with one half(a guess, different news outlets report different opinions on varying issues, obviously) supporting/tolerant of the president and his plans, if not promising immediate effect or incredibly slow-acting, and the other half disapproving/considering him the demonic spawn of Hitler+Joker+Satan+Marx, ready to create death councils, outlaw religion and dissenting opinion and victimize those poor CEOs, only being thwarted by a few stalwart patriots.
But we've been extremely polarized in the past, even to the point people thought the Union might fall apart(with precedent, mind you), the '60s are still fairly recent memory, only reason it's more noticeable now is due to ease of communication and mobilization.
I doubt, even with our debts to foreign nations, that we'd be overthrown by a foreign power within the next half century. The EU(not an enemy, but cohesively it's a power to rival the US in due time) seems to have some issues of their own and it's not like there's any immediate hostility, China's dependent on America for a great deal of its wealth(Americans dislike China but love inexpensive products) but they've got a lot of their own issues to deal with that'll only get worst in coming decades.

It's inevitable whenever the name is invoked. It comes from a lack of practical knowledge of the state which is substituted for cartoon logic that everyone here acts like the characters from Dallas.Cody211282 said:
oh well that sucks, I really liked the state when I was there, the people were a hell of a lot nicer then in cali.crimson5pheonix said:
I get that quite a bit. What's up with the stereotypes of snooty Californians?Cody211282 said:
Time for another game of Defending Texas!
Second biggest largest economy, second highest gross state product, 15th largest economy in the world, home to six of the top 50 Fortune 500 companies, high education, good home market, a lot of jobs, and certainly one of the biggest stockpiles of guns in the country.
I'm pretty sure we'd have a pretty big price to pay if Texas left us.

You are both not looking at the big picture. I am assuming you do not like Texas because of your political leanings, and that is fine, as long as you accept a few facts about the wonderful state of Texas.zHellas said:

I know. I don't understand why some people here keep bashing Texas. I'm from Texas, Houston to be exact, and it irks me seeing people bash it just because it's not up to their standards. Almost like their state is so much better. I know every state in the country has it's fair share of flaws. Seriously...Cody211282 said:
*Applause* As a fellow Houstonian, I have to congratulate your effort in pointing out the silliness on this forum.superbatranger said:
unfortunately the fact hes a russian will make most western residents not take him seriously.awsome117 said:
he may have valid points to make, but the first thought would be russian==soviet - ignore
although im british not american, so maybe fair reasoning shouldnt have a part here
I've seen the same prediction come and past before in my rather short life. I'm not too worried about this either, he'll be the fool soon enough.
