Best idea I've heard all day.

While I hate it just as much, for the same reason...Im not sure anyone is going to object to Atheistland, as it isnt considered an insult, ;)

How about heathenland?

It is greatly appreciated...although me labeling them as heathens does seem to imply that I support Jesusland so, it does leave me in a bit of a quandary, :unsure:

Well, we tend to think of ourselves as a unit, :p


*shrugs*

Frankly it seems like some of the old Confederacy - like Louisiana and Arkansas - would be more like to shack up with Texas. Oklahoma and New Mexico would probably join them.

We could all then have a really wild party and wake up in the morning only to realize we accidentally conquered Mexico. :roll:


Louisiana and Arkansas would shack up with Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico... and JOIN Mexico.

Doesn't the fact that they fled Mexico to the US say something about their desire to live in Mexico?

tbqh, not really...

It says more about the Economic Situation in Mexico, culturally and politically though, the counties closer to the border may as well already be a part of it...

No.

If it did, they'd be refugees.

Mexicans flee to the US because this is where the money is.

If, by 'force', you mean that the majority in just a few years will be Hispanic, and that - after secession - there'd be less 'white American' movement into New Mexico, etc... then yes. Although I don't like the term 'forcefully' as much as 'democratically'.

Secede... give it a few years. Watch Texas vote to be annexed.

Annexed by Mexico. That'd be something to see. Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

I imagine it would likely resolve itself as a sort of United States of Mexico, or something. A union of what we call Mexico, New Mexico, Texas, etc.

Of course, we could always strike first and annex Mexico. We might as well go ahead and grab Cuba too, since Fidel is on his way out.

There's a difference between the sort of 'annex' you're talking about... and a democratic annexation.

I'm not sure we could annex Mexico, anyway. Just wouldn't happen.

...Could a state actually vote to join another country?

Well, anyway, the idea was that we (meaning Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico) could get together and go take over Mexico ourselves. Arizona can come too.

This was actually what Sam Houston wanted to do during the Civil War. After realizing secession was inevitable, he wanted us to stay out of the Confederacy and instead turn our attention southwards.
