Fuck you.
People like you are the reason we want independence in the first place.


Trust me, people like him are the minority.

If they're the reason you want independence, you're either really, really easily offended or you don't actually understand that most northerners and westerners are not insensitive and ignorant.

I'd support the evil liberal plot to turn the US into the new Canada, with socialized medicine, gay marriage and less gun crimes. :twisted:

That means, of course, that a British takeover would be very necessary.

7,000 posts and not perma-banned yet. I'd say that constitutes some respectability. Otherwise you would've been laughed out of here or banned after you react badly to being laughed out.

That's a generalization. That's indicative of ignorance and the same stupidity and racism you're accusing the southerners of.

You're basically acting no better than the people you're supposedly against. How ironic.

This right here. The Union should just go down there and burn it all.

I live in Wisconsin, plenty of my old friends from the South were intelligent (I don't deny there were some dicks), my family hasn't been inbred since Squanto died, and the only reason I'd ever read the Bible is to find arguments against the unsavory aspects of Christianity.

I wouldn't go that far. I mean if it's wartime then sure burn it all since that's the tactically-correct thing to do (deny your enemy any advantage) but once it's over I'd say just make sure they get educated so they can catch up with the rest of us and quit being so secessionist.

Sure, that would work but somehow I don't see many of them accepting this education. Instead they'd stick to their Bible and keep skewing parts of it to fit their meaning. I mean yeah, give them a chance to learn the error of their ways but those Reds are hard to get through to

I'd say focus on educating the children. The main reason that ignorance continues to exist is because we let parents pass their ignorant beliefs unto their children. If we stop that by mandating public, non-religious education then we can cut this off at the head and prevent any future issues with ignorance and lack of education being a problem.

If they wish to secede for an actually-logical reason besides "hurr durr we hate union" then maybe we can work out our differences politically.

Can't deny that they did great things, though.

Washington freed all his slaves and was personally against slavery. Jefferson was as well (although in a hypocritical move he didn't free all his slaves due to financial issues). I'd say that, for their time, they were good men.


Washington was personally against slavery. He did not bring it up though because he did not America to be a country that goes straight from Revolution to civil war. He knew slavery was a hot issue that could tear the nation apart, so he was quiet.
Jefferson also attempted to outlaw slavery throughout the country. However, Congress defeated his proposal by one vote.

Washington and Jefferson, while having their flaws, easily make the top 100 of greatest men to ever exist.

Libertarians, conservatives, skinheads, Tea Partiers, all of them are possible domestic terrorists and wish to create an American theocracy.

I support the Feds taking full military action against these right-wing hicks. We should just destroy the South. Southerners are all retarded, racist, homophobic, KKK bigots anyways.

When I read your first post, I thought "Well, he's kind of new to the forum...maybe he just doesn't know the rules.

And then I kept reading... Regardless of if you are familiar with the rules of the forums, your blatant flaming is inexcusable and most of your posts are classic examples of trolling.

and then I checked your record... not this nation's, but the others in your possession. Its abundantly clear you should be aware of the code of conduct for the forums.

Here, you were offered some very good advice, advice you should already have been aware of. When you return from you *** 3-day ban ***, I'd recommend following it if you'd like to continue using the site; except change "respectable posters" to read "every poster, regardless of you agreeing with their opinion or not".

Everyone else, lets chilly down a bit in here. As always if you're feeling the temperature rising, why don't you step back from the computer for a bit?

Both proof of scarcity and failure to allocate correctly. That's what governance is largely about.

Ideology brings Bias into governance


One should not make right wing or left wing decisions on an important issue.


Naturally, it's why I pointed out that you were making overtly political suggestions of what to do (well, in one case). Which illustrates the big problem with your stance, it's literally impossible to avoid any political bias in any decision. There's a reason why people lean certain ways.

Take the issue of whether or not to hold elections. The answer that I consider to be right is to keep holding them... that's showing my politics. If someone answered, "No, we should not hold elections" then we gain insight into their politics.

The more realistic solution of whether or not taxes should go up is also politically influenced. The reason being that one's politics affects how one sees something and that's why one's choices are influenced. A right-winger may think taxes should go down. This is to stimulate consumption spending to create growth. A left winger may think that taxes should go up so that the goverment can provide a better education to stimulate sustainable growth. They also view the situation in different lights.
