    If they did secede then we'd need to find a new admin since Loco is from there...

    this is Texas's only saving grace. Otherwise I wouldn't think twice.

    What does Cesar being from texas have to do with being an admin here? It wouldn't affect anything.

    The title should be "How long will it take me to delete my own topic".

    Anywho, I say we revoke California's statehood. Then slap them with huge tariffs on all the utilities they siphon off of nearby states. Maybe then they'd build their own power plants.

    Is this some ploy so that another Bush can't be elected into office?

    Before you decide in favor of Texas seceding from the Union, you have to ask yourself this question; where would we get all our steers and queers from, then? And what about their salsas and spaghetti sauces? Without those, we'd be stuck with the inferior New York City brands ("NEW YORK CITY?!!")

    No, Texas must remain a part of the union, I say. Anyhoo...

    Well if you believe Fox News, Obama is an illegal alien, so that wouldn't stop another Bush from getting into office. Of course, Fox News believes that Los Angeles was buying jet packs for the city, so I can't exactly take what they say too seriously.

    Re: Convince Alisyn not to close this

    In the context of Texas's state constitution, secession wouldn't make sense. As stated in their constitution, "Texas is a free and independent state, subject only to the Constitution of the United States." They are already not governed by Washington.

    However, the Texas State Constitution also states that the people have the right to alter their government in such manner as they might think proper, much like what was stated in the Declaration of Independence, so if the people decide that they need a change, and want to separate themselves from the Union, they have all the freedom in the world to do so.

    Secession is neither allowed nor prohibited in the US Constitution, so therefore, it isn't illegal. If Texas were to secede, the resulting peace or conflict that follows will not be determined by law, but by the federal government of the United States.

    I'd much prefer if Kansas seceded.

    Then the US would look somewhat like a donut, albeit a misshapen one.

    Spaghetti sauce from Texas? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Texan spaghetti sauce is ketchup. You want real sauce, you go to Little Italy.

    I think Jersey should secede. They're ****ing useless over there.

    As for Texas, **** Texas. This country wouldn't have half its reputation as fat retards if it weren't for Texas. And **** the Cowboys.

    You know what else never made it on the Ark? Unicorns. I swear we'll find fossils some day. And to raise the chances of those fossils being found in U.S. territory, we should keep Texas. Once we've excavated everything and found the mystical horns, they can do whatever they want. I just want to make sure I get to see a unicorn horn in a museum.

    I, like many of you, voted for dinosaurs.

    I will always vote for dinosaurs.




    Q: "Who should vote in elections? Texans or dinosaurs?"

    A: Dinosaurs. I realize they are oftentimes synonymous.


    jkjk Cesar and I are BFFs. And wtf am I saying, I'm from Arkansas. Still, Texas is ridiculous. They have egos the size of dinosaurs.

    Re: Convince Alisyn not to close this

    If Texas wants to secede from the union, I bid them farewell and wish them luck.

    Because in two weeks, Mexican drug cartels will have senselessly murdered enough of their people to make them reconsider.

    Seriously, look at the shit happening just 20 miles below the border in Juarez. Now extend that border up to Oklahoma, remove all the National Guard and military monitoring/patrol equipment, and watch what happens. Sure, Texans are armed to the teeth, but they don't know how to fight guerrilla gang warfare (unless they do and I'm not aware of it).

    Unless they decide to legalize personal possession of all drugs and work in tandem with the cartels to overthrow those damn Yankees, I expect a hailstorm of bullets to be exchanged from both sides. And if the U.S. sanctions them, they'll have to fund their war with support from... uh... maybe they'd ask the French? HahahahaHAAAA.

    Texas knows better, considering the shitstorm going on across the street. At least I hope so, for their sake.

    Besides, where would we get all of our "teach the controversy" textbooks from? Mississippi? Yeah, probably Mississippi.

    But if Texas secedes, perhaps they'll be able to give their vigilantly, border-guarding minutemen the power of summary execution when dealing with border jumpers. Those guys are way more dangerous than the National Guard.

    If Jersey is anything like The Situation and that fat girl who thinks she's hot, then I'm not missing anything. I refuse to insult my TV my tuning into that show.

    As for Texas, I still say we need to fill the southern border with land mines. Even in today's age, land mines, roadside bombs, etc are extremely effective on infantry and light armored vehicles. Oh wait, that would be "cruel and unusual punishment". I forgot that illegal aliens have more rights than me. /sigh

    If Texas seceded, the national language (here) would end up being Spanish. But not proper Spanish, no. It would be Spanglish, or even worse, Mexican. I mean, seriously, if you're at least going to pretend to speak a language, make some sense out of it.

    No offense.

    Okay, mild offense.

    If you walk into a clearly marked mine field and get hurt, the only person to blame is yourself. But no worries, it will never happen anyway, as the US would never agree to put up something that might end up killing children, drunks, etc that find a way to wander past all the warning signs, fences, walls, etc and happen to step on one. So I guess we are back to the original idea of letting Mexicans build us a wall. Oh well.

    I think hawaii has always been one to try to call it quits, of course they're too good of a naval position to be given up, and a valuable resource in developing disney greats like "Johnny Tsunami"
