Fall of the U.S.?

[awsome117]

So while browsing another forum, I came across this [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html] basically predicts the United States would break apart by the end of 2010.

Personally, I do not believe this for two reasons:

Less serious 1: We're too lazy to break apart. Would be too much effort for us.

More serious 2: Yes, we have internal problems, but not enough to "break apart".

It should also be noted this was predicted by a Russian. So yah. Take it as you will.

Well the governor of Texas did threaten to secede. So there's that.

I highly doubt it. If the turmoil of the '60's wasn't enough to bring the U.S. to a breaking point, I don't see anything happening in the next months to do so.

Bit of ol'-fashioned prejudice at work here, from both sides.

But hey, old habits die hard, right?

Haha, a Russian wrote this? Russia is so much closer to internal collapse than the US. 9/11 showed us that we may have varying opinions and beliefs but we still are a very unified nation.

Extremely ASBish (slang from alternatehistory.com). I fail to see what is ethnicity has to do with anything though.

Russia is so much closer to internal collapse than the US.

I hope that the professor wasn't writing it in a mindset of "Ha ha, the United States of America will break up before us, ha ha, points to us." Certainly, why you'd bring that up, I do not know. It seems you have that mindset. The professor wasn't competing.

The United States will not fall. Many Americans remember we only have 2 years left with a awful leader. Once we reelect a ACTUAL leader we should do fine.

EDIT: I don't care what you think. So no replies, I don't want to log on and find 32 messages of more hate mail :]

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response, other than "I'm not even going to dignify that with a response."

Well we can live without Texas.

That's Texas... Who cares?

Texas is actually a very nice place as long as you don't remind them it isn't 1850 anymore.

 

[Verlander]

I doubt it but there's a lot of new segregation in the US. Mainly between forward thinkers and backwards peoples. You decide who's who

 

[Warped_Ghost]

Yea North America in general isn't looking towards breaking up. We are more leaning to becoming a single country in everything but name.

Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces

We're off schedule!

Quick, Americans, get more angry!

Uhh, Obama is an islamic fundamentalist communist!

The Conservatives are stupid!


Quick people! We only have a couple more weeks till Civil war!

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Is there such a thing in this nation anymore?

I wonder why, more info please, When I lived there everyone was very patriotic.

Pffffff, yeah, right.

In the scenario in which any foreign power invades the continental U.S., Texas will be leading the rebellion, since everybody and their dog has enough guns to shame the military.

 

[RMcD94]

Not a native USAmerican, but I do remember information noting that Texas is one of the few states that would actually survive without the USA, and even do better off, due to a positive federal tax thing, or something or other, whereas most states have a negative tax rate.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Eh, according to him I'm going to be Canadian in a couple weeks.

Quick, what do I do?!?!

I don't even know how to make an Igloo!
