Do You Forsee a 2nd American Civil War? (1 Viewer)

[Christo]

I don't think there would necessarily be a war but I could see a section of the country secede from the Union.

Which section?

It wouldn't surprise me to see Texas and Oklahoma make a legitimate attempt years down the road. Depending on the seriousness and outcome, other surrounding states could follow. I've read reports recently discussing Texas getting all of its gold reserves back from the US and taking them to Texas. A lot of secession talk in Texas can just be a political ploy though to get some people fired up. Political tensions should settle down after the election hopefully. Realistically I think it's too complicated for a state to secede. How would all the entitlements be distributed? What are you going to do with a US military base in a state trying to secede? There are many other complicated issues like these that would make secession tough.

If the center was allowed to secede, they'd be a third world country in a decade.

Sure, because they wouldn't have any idea how to monetize all of that oil and gas. Oh, yeah. All of that fresh water too.

Like with guns and stuff?

Yes, with guns and stuff. It's not like it hasn't happened before.

What would people start a civil war over?

The NL going to the DH?

Pretty sure that would unify the country (at least the areas with measurable IQs, )

What % of Gen Y/Gen X'ers would've gone over the top at the Battle of Verdun?

I don't know. What % of Gen Y/Xers went over the the top for the battle of Fallujah?Your point?

Dammit! I'm hijacking my own thread!

What about another Shays' Rebellion?

We are going to be at war again no matter which party gets elected president. Maybe that and a longer NFL season can bring Americans together. 9/11 sure seemed to do the trick.

Could you imagine what would happen if some one crashed a plane into the Super Bowl ?

Could happen if the SB was in London, would the NFL still try to keep sending them over.
