Hey scrubs. This just in:

The petitions for secession from the U.S. filed by Texas, Louisiana, and five other states have collected more than 25,000 signatures each, which the White House website says is enough for review and response.

Rad. Guys, shut up, the show's starting.
Re: Oh I wish I was(n't) in Texas...
Most of those states share a border with one another. If they could get a few more states on-board, they could make a clean split off the south-east.

If only we'd just start saying we were one and then I'd be much more okay with it.
yeah america is arguably the most evil country of recent history since all the other evil ones like nazi germany didn't last long or are gradually mellowing out a bit, the saddest thing is that it is only because americans seem too hung up on blind, idiotic nationalism to care

You only follow your gut when evidence is pointing it. Detectives and FBI both have this sort of stupidity to them now-a-days and in smaller-town-settings found in the Mid/Southwest it's even more prevalent. On top of that, the law enforcement becomes so pressured by media that they have to ACCUSE and ARREST someone, even if they're innocent or lack proper evidence. That's fucked up.
a decent darkhalo post, well i'll be damned
worth note also: in the midwest and particularly south, and even to some vestigial extent in the northern states, detectives' guts have this weird condition where they always seem to latch on to ethnic minorities as the most likely suspect??? how odd

actually there is, it is called 'not signing off the death warrant' or better still, 'refusing to carry out the death penalty and permanently abolishing it by law'
oddly enough these are things rick perry seems physically incapable of, perhaps he is too busy bragging about all the people he has had put to death, i am glad it is possible for sociopathic murderers to become state governors in the united states. maybe you could try reanimating pol pot as a potential replacement for the next one who pops their clogs

why do you ask? i'm fairly fucking sure you haven't
since you ask though i have met a few people who used to be in jail here on fairly serious charges and had managed to turn their lives around, since over here prison is about trying to fix broken people, not trying to get a better k:d ratio than the previous governor

funnily enough a huge amount of it was nothing to do with curing diseases and everything to do with assholes being curious about 'what happens if i directly inject the active chemical from agent fucking orange into a person's bloodstream', medical research seems to be doing just fucking dandy right now without torturing and killing thousands of prisoners and ethnic minorities or poors

of course, america would kill more people because it is a disgusting power-mad cesspool. i forgot. it's already sprayed aerosol poisons above canadian cities without telling anyone, i'm sure they'd have no issue doing it again on a more serious scale this time.
the sooner the eu, canada, and all the other major powers team up and put your insane fucked up country in its place the better off the world will be

hmmm yes, secondhand from people who live there, i don't see your point?

what does suggest that is the state's politics, which either reflect the majority of the state, or reflect a vocal minority but the majority are so fucking disinterested they don't care about rectifying the situation. sorry, but all evidence points firmly in the direction you don't like.

and who put the government in power, and allows it to stay in power?
certainly not all texans are awful, just apparently 51% or more are

I care. I just don't exactly see it as a bad thing. I reap the benefits, so why the fuck not? I still don't understand why we left Iraq. We never got our oil goddamit.
