Just got this letter sent to Bush; Blue states to secede

[el Chi]

Ok, I haven't read the whole thread - in many ways I'm a lazy lazy man, and besides it's 3am here, so apologies if the debate's been sidetracked already.

It's always seemed to me that the US often resembles less one nation, but many smaller ones, bound tightly together by the pledge of alliegence and a flag. Kind of like the EU, but closer. In between states, people seem to mock, hate and love each other by varying proportions; often there are such incredible differences in law resulting in a spectrum between "loony liberal" (ugh), hippie Commie love-ins and backward, racist theocracies (please spot the charicaturing there). It seems more than a wee bit bizarre.

I live an hour away from the border ...seeing as how I'm canadian, I think people can see why I don't like .......those people





sounds kinda stupid doesnt it?

Wow, that went right over your head.

Wow, that went right over your head.

Yeah it confused me, too. Exactly what does his living near an airbase have to do with a motive for homophobia? Do gay people interfere with radars or what?

Talk to an Army Ranger. Then try and get him to talk to a gay person. Within thirty seconds, that Gay person would have his neck snapped. And bisexuality is against most religions.

Their gaydar signals mess it up.

I agree with this. If the right simply formed our own country and the left had theirs it would solve a lot of problems. First off the right would be incredibly wealthy, especially since we would simply invade the tree huggers and force them to work like slaves for us. Our economy would boom while all the lefties cry about injustices we can simply hit them with a butt end of a gun and tell them to get back to work or its to the salt mines.

I think you took this a little too seriously. I also think you completely ignored facts (like most republicans do) as I have no idea how you would invade us tree hugers when we would have 3 times as much economic capital as you would.

Sounds like you need to talk to Jesus and have his blood cleanse the hatered in your heart.

You people amaze me. Let me guess, Fred Phelps is a hero to you people?

Do me a favor and read this http://elroy.net/ehr/gay.html ; I could bet you know less about your religion than I do.

And they can do this because they don't believe they have any lifestyle sins of their own. If you ask them about it, they'll say things like, "I used to sleep around but I was forgiven of that sin and now I don't do it anymore." However, ask them if a homosexual can be saved by God's grace, and they will say, "The gay man who does not turn from his homosexuality is choosing to live a lifestyle counter to God's laws and is not, therefore, saved by grace." What they conveniently forget is that 50% of them - those who count themselves among the Religious Right - are divorced, and more than 85% of those are remarried. What that means is, according to the Bible, that nearly 43% of the same people who condemn the gay man for his homosexuality choose to live in a lifestyle of adultery, a sin that ranks equal to homosexuality in God's eyes.

That's right. The very people who condemn one "sinful" lifestyle are practicing another.

You see, in the Bible Jesus said:

"Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."
Luke 16:18
And the Apostle Paul (who continued to sin himself) said:
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10

I think you took his post a little too seriously, and economic power is nothing when you have no military.

I started drawing up a nice picture for you, but I had to stop at California because it wasn't appropriate.

No, you can't have a military if you have no economic power. What are you going to pay these people? Or I get it, you will do what you do now, take away freedoms and force people in to the army? You are also forgeting all technological advances inside the military are developed in blue states. sounds like you are shit out of luck.

No, sounds like you are shit out of luck. With no guns or army the red states would quickly capture and control the blue states.

I am not going to argue this with you, honestly, I don't even know why I started. All you need to know is that we would control 2/3 of the economy and all the new technology. By your idiotic (or should I say Republican) logic Iran could just come over here and invade us because most citizens there carry guns.

:cheers:

And besides, you forget the golden rule, Good > Evil = Red States Shit Out of Luck

You still are not understanding this, you can't threaten people with the loss of money, but you can threaten people with death.

So Osama, who threatens death but has no money has more power than the US?

You sir are a genious :thumbs:

Okay, hoenstly, I'm done. dear God, please help me ignore him.

what if the army ranger was gay? would he snap his own neck?

And bisexuality is against most religions.

according to the bible I should be able to stone my wife to death for disobedience

times change, get with the program

Osama can threaten death, but he can not deliver. In our little scenario though, it would be easily possible for the red states to kill off the blue states.

 

[bliink]

Army rangers killing gay people...
Osama killing other people...
Red states "killing" blue states...
Stoning wives to death...

Off topic from something that was initially a joke.
