This is ironic given our conversation on steam a week or so ago, you bitched so much about Obama and how he doesn't do things the way you would prefer them to be.

Did you post this to call me out? Just because I would prefer he did other things doesn't mean I'm not going to attempt in learning to adjust if things deteriorate for certain programs in the state as a result of weakened funding. In this scenario, people are so recklessly riled-up they aren't even thinking of the latter. They're filing a petition for a ridiculous thought that would do more harm to them than good. They aren't even trying to adapt, merely trying to force their concerns so they don't have to. In other words, they aren't trying to evolve or strengthen, just remain what they have been. I at least want to try branching out even if obstacles from the current administration come my way.

Even more so, I can at least see the bigger issues facing the country and political-socio structures than a lost presidential election. They see cause for secession with the incumbent remaining in office, which is ridiculously drastic.

I don't really understand what Rossmum labels as "backwards"

To those people, what he does and what he believes in is "backwards"

Please explain Ross, because I want to see your definition of this before making an actual argument about it.

Funny how that show used to be largely Texan with refrences and music.

At least we won't have to change the national flag...

We'll just add Iraq to our list of states.

NASA doesn't contribute much to our economy anymore. I know a handful of people that got lay off, because if the shuttle retirement

Texas has quite a few number of military basses
7 Air forces Basses
4 Army Basses
4 Navy Basses

Texas could automatically keep those Basses if it were to secede. Keeping those basses occupied wouldn't be much of a problem since Texas holds a large number of military recruits.

@rossmum How can you come to these conclusions when you don't even live in Texas or even in the United States. I'm sorry to tell you that what the media, and textbooks teach you is mostly misleading.

Texas contributes large amounts to the US economy whether you agree or not. It gives more than it gets in return.

The president will never allow a succession especially from Texas. There is really no point in seceding at this point.

What you don't understand is the US Government owns those bases. Texas would have to pay them off for them. You also wouldn't get those recruits, because those recruits are under the US government too. I doubt they would forfeit their pensions and benefits to swap over to the new 'Texan Country'.

You cannot assume anything that is within the land area of Texas, will be the property of the new country Texas we are talking about. All the infrastructure will either have to be bought out, or loaned out from the US. Water, gas, electricity etc; extensive trade deals will have to be made to make the new country viable and sustainable.

Rossmum, you're living in a country that founded for prisoners. That is the more backward than Texas.

This is what some people actually believe.

lmfao.

Last I checked, nearly half the state of Texas voted blue in the last election. And I guarente you there's a healthy portion of intelligent people who voted red as well(again, as I said in the last thread, people who are economically conservative).

I don't think that's all that backward.

Honestly Ross, your posts are melting together. You act like we're asking you to pussify yourself. Calm down, dude.
