we've been over this before, Fox News isn't a legitimate source
I stand corrected. All men between the ages of 16 and 30.

why are you comparing a time when we were fighting for our freedom from oppressors to now, and when we were nowhere near the size we are now

That's not at all what the graph says.
shows how much i pay attention to the news around here
[QUOTE=JerryK;25885009]woah getting defensive there Ridge, no one said anything about you[/QUOTE]
I'm just pointing out the same thing I did in the most influential people thread. People on this forum make huge generalizations about massive groups of people, based on the actions of the most well known. This goes for politicians, nationalities, religions and civil rights groups like gays and gun owners.
I thought you were a libertarian not a republican ridge
I have Libertarian ideals, but am registered as a Republican with the hopes I can go to the caucus and put in my vote for an actual conservative candidate.

He's not considering the fact that IQ tests and America education in general is designed for middle/upper class white people, who are more likely to favor republicans than other social groups.
In other words, it's completely irrelevant.

Did you post the wrong graph? Because what I'm reading the exact opposite. More Republicans (i.e. 1% more) attend college, while more Democrats (i.e. 5 to 6%) graduate.
I was always under the impression that most states could not survive on their own if they seceded.
New York and New Jersey may be able to, but to lose those states would cripple the US, it'd be impossible for them to secede.
this asshole got reelected? i feel so sorry for you texas.

Actually, Texas is the only state that could pull it off. They have a power grid completely disconnected from the rest of the states, and have ports and farms and industrial cities. They could easily survive on their own.
New York or New Jersey wouldn't last a month.

If the tiny Baltic States can secede from the USSR and Slovenia can secede from Yugoslavia in 1990, why can't a US state do the same?

Considering this is the longest serving Texas leader in history at a 10 years next month, why do you feel sorry Texans decided to reelect Rick Perry to a third term?

Funny considering Texas contributes the most troops of any state to the Military, and has a State Defense Force that is legally under the control of the State and not the Federal Government like the National Guard

Why the fuck do people think Texas is a desert shithole, it isn't Arizona or else all the cows they make steaks from would die

Seriously, it's only one small part of the State that's desert :colbert:

The part about Texas being literally founded by a bunch of assholes that came storming into Mexico, broke Mexican laws by owning slaves and then died defending slavery.

They went to war with Mexico over several reasons, including Mexico backing out on their concessions for a treaty...
