War Between the States

[BigDallasDick8x6]

The North would still win for the same reasons it won last time. Mostly industrialized vs. the mostly rural South. Not nearly as pronounced as it was 100 years ago, but it's still there. Also the capital, financial and intellectual, is concentrated in the Northeast and always has been.

Imagine if the South had won and seceded from the US leaving us with two countries instead of one. A weaker, smaller "Northern" US probably wouldn't have been able to help the Allies defeat Hitler and Hitler would have won WWII. Imagine what the world would be like today if that were the case.

So the Southern whiners can chew on that -- had they won, the world would be a MUCH worse place, not only for the delayed abolition of US slavery, but also entrenched worldwide fascism.

Who's whining that the south should have won?

According to the poll, one person.

You wasted all that energy to respond to what could be bait from a troll?

 

[BigDallasDick8x6]

Someone posed a question to the general membership and I answered. That's why it's called a discussion board.

It hardly took "all that energy" to write 3 short paragraphs. If you feel it wasted your energy to read it, then I suggest you not read any more of my posts.

Mindanao

Which was Islamic before the Spaniards arrived with christianity.

Can we look forward to a plate full of anti Islamic bile from you.

Which they are trying to carve out as an independent country, just like I said.

 

[Drifterwood]

It was an independent sultanate before colonisation.

Are you very stupid?

Meanwhile in the imaginary world of bi_in_socal Al Queda, although founded in 1988, was somehow present and helped the following regions gain their independence:

Al Qaeda...

Their goal would be to carve out an independent Islamic state. Much like they've done in San Francisco.

the Phillipines, India, Spain, Sudan etc etc etc

Phillipines? India?

Do tell.

Pakistan and Mindanao

Which was Islamic before the Spaniards arrived with christianity.

Can we look forward to a plate full of anti Islamic bile from you.

Based on the amount of anti Islamic tripe bi_in_socal has already spewed the probability of that occurrence is extremely high.

 

[B_Nick4444]

believe the fellow (and I may be subject to correction on this) is simply trying to point to an anticipated result of having large numbers of Muslims migrate into the USA, based on both history, and current reportage

for this, he is an imputed racist?

I don't read a lot of the posts put up by super sensitive people.

It is part of the Phillipines, point blank period.

Your self-delusions is scary.

Are scary. Also please show enough respect to spell the country's name correctly.

Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire. I suppose they were subversive terrorists for carrying on with Christanity and wanting independence?

Slovenia, Croatia etc were part of Yugoslavia, the Central Asian States part of the USSR, is your view of history so myopic, your view of the world so US/West centric?

Israel was part of very many empires and countries before being re-founded. Yet I don't recall you having a problem with that.

They were islamic before the enforcement of the Philippines under christian Spain, they managed to maintain their culture and heritage through the colonial period and are now reasserting a measure of their independence in the post colonial era as many others are around the world.

Your ignorance is expected.

Well shit, if this is your point then the Jews and Judaism were in Israel LONG before Mohammed was ever born so tell those islamic extremists to shut the fuck up and Israel has the right to boot muslims not only out of Israel, but out of Palestine, Syria and Jordan as well.

And Iraq belongs to all of mankind since it's the cradle of civilization which legitimizes the war in Iraq under the banner of "We got here first!"

The west is just taking back what was ours in the first place!

And since my ancestors are indigenous to this land, get the fuck out of my country!

Now do you want to have a real discussion?

If you really believe that, then I'd suggest you form an 'invade Ethiopia' lobby, and cut out the middle men.

You asked me a question and I answered it. If you didn't want to hear the answer you shouldn't have asked.

When I ask someone a question and they answer me, my typical response is "Thank you."

 

[Drifterwood]

I am not in your country, halfwit.

You are a very confused person, your double standards are so ingrained and you clearly don't have the intelligence to recognise them.

You need to be civilised to have any claim to Mesopotamia. I wouldn't waste your time.

And furthermore, the Jewish people came out of Egypt and Moses only got them as far as Edom. So by your brilliant observation, Jewish people are in the wrong place.

If the War of "Late unpleasantness" WAS fought over slavery, why would 65,000 free black men fight for the Southern States? Many fought valiantly and were decorated by the Confederate Government. Many refused to take the Oath of Allegiance to the US.
