Secession: Has it become a reasonable idea?

[Agathon]

Secession is a bit much. Go for expanding states' rights and let the southerners burn in the fires of their own crosses.

[KrazyHorse]

Let federal government cut taxes and services as much as it wants. Laugh as poor red states realise they've been living off charity.

I think your inner cities will burn your whole cities to the ground first.

[KrazyHorse]

My inner cities?

[KrazyHorse]

I suggest you take a look at median income in red and blue state, P...

[Patroklos]

I hardly see the point when talking about the inner cities of the Blue states.

[Agathon]

The US should really split. The Blue states could form two new wealthy and enlightened countries. The red states could join the third world.

And I still don't get your point.

The blue states give more to the federal government than do the red states. The fact that there are poor sections of the blue states means nothing. The rich parts more than make up for it.

Your comment was a red herring.

Canada would take in NE.

The West Coast could just be culturally assimilated.

[Patroklos]

Yeah, I am sure that is how it would work.

I would like to point out which states the majority of the military power is concentrated, as well as where the majority of the people manning that power come from, and then who they voted for in the election.

Have fun accessing your offshore account from your smoking crater.

That's a good idea, more votes for the Liberals and NDP.

That sounds like a personal problem.

The majority of the Blue mega cities use far more federal money than they give, minus finacial transatctions which while monitored and run in a place do not originate there. Subtract the more conservative rural areas of your Blue states and no, the liberal sections (which I suppose is the point being a secession thread) are not as weathy as you think.

[PLATO]

I would support Southern Secession. The rest of you can have the northeast.

Now we're breaking up individual states? Pick an issue and stick with it, you silly silly man.

red herring

go look it up, sweetheart

[Patroklos]

I didn't realize you had the secession rule bool.

#124. All citizens a state, once seceded, are required to abandon all personal convictions.
