Secession is the only hope for peace in USA.

[posthuman]

I have never suggested a slave system.

i thought you spent a couple of pages back there giving pro-slavery views and justifications?

The United States is not united.

yeah, we are. your suggestion that the federal government should be overthrown and the union dissolved into a collection of individual fascist states under a supreme novemumvirate emperor is pretty clearly promoting disunity.
we're unified by our common belief in freedom from tyranny. just like the original settlers who all called each other heretics but found a way to peacefully co-exist as a collective whole in democratic representative federal governance.

when the propaganda machine is daily telling you how fractured everyone is do you think that's assuaging the situation or agitating it?

Where did I say anything about creating a 'theocratic state?

i want to live in a theocratic state

Jesus is a King -- He's not 'voted for' lol.

maybe it's my math background lol but especially in the BDF i often wish threads would start off with a list of definitions we can agree on for the purpose of discussion. seems to me that we've often got a couple of sides arguing with each other using words each side defines in totally different ways, so what's really going is nobody having any idea what they're talking about.

That’s the downside of forum communication. All kinds of different intellectual levels, education and background in general are participating. None of us know anything about the others education and background, yet we’re expecting to have a civilized and respectful conversation based on logic arguments.

But, like my late granddad down in Evergreen used to say...”D*** them big city livin folks, them ain’t thinking straight unless I smack dem upside the head”. 😛

i think you're proving Tommy's accusation that you don't really understand the word. ((or that you're misusing it, in the same way someone might associate 'conservatism' with 'anti-education' or 'pro-ignorance' and 'backwards thinking'))

'liberal' means 'free' -- you're promoting increased social freedoms and individual self-governance, that's "liberal." you're promoting radical change; that's 'extreme left' ((classically political 'left' is pro-change and 'right' is pro-status-quo, but when used by political opponents these words definitions are often completely turned on their heads)). when someone promotes repeal of anti-sodomy laws they are promoting 'liberal' policies because they are promoting the removal of social legal restrictions so that the individual can be more 'free' to self-govern without the interference of law in their personal lives.

No it doesn't. Your attempt to label me a liberal or democrat is idiotic. How about the definition of idiot? This attempt of yours and others to label me something I am not is proff of the emptiness of your position. You resort to deceptiveness. You have nothing to offer concerning the topic of this thread. All you can hope to do is deflect the argument due to your ignorance and hope to change the focus.

As I have said before, it is an old trick. It proves nothing but your inability to argue your position. I am not liberal, left, or democrat.

And, secession of some form is the only possible answer, save the Rapture, to a peaceful solution to the divisions in this country.

@Quantrill

What you are really advocating for is a less centralized system of government and more state autonomy.

As well, you make the reason for seceding based on morality which really makes no sense to me, is there any state that you know of
where there is a uniform morality in place?

Canada was far more divided than the US and perhaps still is, at least here it is completely a cultural group of people who all live in one province which is a far more logical basis for seeking separation.

Explain where I said we should have a slave system? You say you 'thought'. Now there is a beginning. Show me what I said, and what you are saying. You continue to lie about what I said and then argue with yourself concerning your lies.

I never suggested that the union was to be overthrown or dissolved. That is more of your lies due to your ignorance and refusal to read what I have said. Show me where I have said that.

Who says we are unified by a common belief of freedom of tyranny? You? The U.S. is completely divided at this time. So what has happened to your unifying agent of 'belief of freedom of tyranny'? To say we are united is a fool's statement. Spitting in wind.

Democratic? You think this country is founded on 'democracy'? Please.

That is not the point. Where did I say I want to create a theocratic state? You made the claim. Show me where I said it.

Well, I am not concerned with Canada. I have no dog in that fight. Live like you want to live.

I think you missed my point, are you not really advocating for a more decentralized system rather than seceding?

No, it's just you that doesn't know what you're talking about. Just because you are ignorant doesn't mean everyone else is. Stupid statement.

I have explained exactly what I have been advocating. It is easily understood when you read it.

That's some deep stuff there. Let me clean my boots. Go ahead and get another doughnut and coffee while you 'ponder' the meanings.

Why are you on this site, Quantrill?

Why not talk about this on one of those nut job involuntary celibacy forums, with all the other guys who will never get laid?

You two don't have to like each other's opinions but let's keep it civil.

I'm not intending to make it look as if I'm singling you out Tommy, it's just near impossible to multi-quote on a phone.

Don't fall for the bait. Let that one starve under his bridge.

Secession is nonsense.
You don't have to be mentally ill to be a Democrat. Registering as a Democrat will start that process off in and of itself.

Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy.​
