Tip for Texas: Get yourself a Gandhi and demand home-rule. That's the best-case scenario I can recall of a new nation being founded by asking for independence.

This, just make sure the Gandhi isn't a judge.

Need to stop being a ninja. It distracts from the quality posters.

Yeah, but hooded is right. The longevity of these continents matters big time. And parts of it isn't just war; albeit, that is a big part. Socio-political issues also come into play, just like they are doing here and now.

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.

No, it wouldn't. Those bases are FEDERAL property. Texas as a state does not own them nor has jurisdiction over them.
Those military recruits are also employees of the FEDERAL government. Texas as a state does not hold any power over their contract.

This. You may not leave the Union. Were the Union to dissolve, then it would be a free for all. But it hasn't so it stays.

Also why is it that Europe and Africa and Asia are split into like, a billion countries, and North America is three? I'd like to see this changed.

Had the Europeans not expanded outward and colonised conquered the Americas, it's very likely that the continent would have ended up the same way. The Native Americans we not just tribes, they were nations. They just hadn't progressed (regressed?) in the same way that Europe had.

It's conquered. Call it what it is. Glorious, bloody conquest.

[Warsaw]

Happy?

[TVTyrant]

Happy?

I'm never happy

Oh look, there goes my dumbass country embarrassing itself...again.

Seriously, can we just work with Obama instead of wanting to see the whole country collapse? People need to grow the fuck up.

from what I understand a collapse is inevitable. I can understand states wanting to get the fuck out before it happens.

Living in Washington State, having moved from Florida, I can tell you thinks are FAAAAR different here than the south

So, the British didnt set up a penal colony? Strange, so your saying history is lying?

no but i'm saying that if you posted that as anything other than a joke you really haven't learned anything. hmmm yes, this country which was first established as a prison colony and was later settled in successively larger and larger waves by first british and then other european free men, and is more politically and ideologically similar to the united kingdom than it is almost anything else, is clearly more backwards than texas. i mean, proper healthcare and a decent welfare system? pah, what kind of shitty commie pinko prison colonies have those?

oh right, the uk has them too...

@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.

it's cute how you kids keep assuming any of this comes from 'the media' (hint: our media, and in fact most of the world's, is not like yours; they generally deal in facts and not fairy stories and any political bias is so minor it may as well not be there) or 'textbooks' (lol what the fuck textbooks would i be reading this from?), instead of things like 'family and friends who have lived, or are currently living in, the united states', 'personal experience from time spent in the united states', or 'actual facts about america from non-politically-biased sources'

or are you seriously trying to tell me that the lie-beral media just want me to believe that rick perry is the scum of the earth and that the majority of texans are either so happy with him or so utterly lacking in compassion and human decency that they allowed this shitlord to hold the position he did? because i'm pretty sure all those death row inmates he failed to pardon regardless of guilt or innocence aren't some invention of the fucking media you arrogant little shit

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

i don't recall ever saying a damn word about the us economy, and i also don't see how you think this is even tangentially relevant since economic concerns have approximately 'fuck' and 'shit' to do with the social advancement of a community, state, country, or otherwise

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

people who think survival of the fittest is a cool & acceptable idea in an era where we have the means to make sure everyone has at the very least the basic human requirements, people who think killing another human being is okay and that revenge is anything other than a shitty and despicable motive for anything, people who think they have the right to ban others from enjoying the same rights they do based on some stupid shitty interpretation of a 3,000 year old text which is only important or sacred to them, would you like me to continue

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

i don't know man, take a look at those assholes and then at early cavemen and then at me and decide which is more similar in behaviour

all i know is that civilised and well-adjusted humans do not under any circumstances condone the killing of other humans, let alone whoop and holler and invite the whole fucking family along for a picnic

No but seriously you do ride a Kangaroo to work right? And use the word Crikey in normal conversation?

Stupid generalizations really show me how socially advanced you must be!

this is an incredibly stupid argument that does not even begin to make sense. i honestly expected better from you.

the kangaroo and crikey thing is the result of a stereotype with zero actual evidence to back it up as being a thing.

'texas being backwards' is backed up by the fact your state was down with lynching black kids for crimes white kids committed well into the 20th century and also being okay with the man running it signing off the death warrants of scores of people, several of them innocent, just because he could and because somehow in your fucked up country people think revenge is cool and good and the aim of prison is to punish, not rehabilitate.

Right, so we're all fucked up because of a few standouts and some shit that happened over a century ago. I only replied to incredible stupidity with the same.
