Thy Geekdom Come Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 [quote name='RandomProddy' date='Aug 21 2004, 08:11 PM'] To my knowledge, no country holding nuclear weapons has ever been sucessfully invaded. I don't think a state within the US has the capability to invade two and all it's allies... [/quote] Pft...I'll give you some credit, Britian would be the most difficult, but come on...France and Germany are pushovers.
livingHimloud Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 there were a lot of 'lol's' in this thread, so i had to read all of it, and it was pretty funny. i'm not a big fan of texas, too many things that move and sting for my taste, but if kerry wins, well i just might have to get used to stinging things. bye kansas..... tear.
MichaelFilo Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 I didn't know that about Texas. However it won't happen. Texas doesn't view itself as seperate from the "Union". Seceeding would require that thought pattern. Too bad though, that would send a message. God bless, Mikey
Aloysius Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 why doesn't that Christian Exodus group that's takin over south carolina do it to Texas instead, seeing as Texas has an official legal right to sucede. anyway, i thought any state technically could if they got together and reversed their ratification of the U.S. constitution.

Iacobus Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 You can't pull out of the Union. It won't work. Here is what is going to stop you... fresh water.
MichaelFilo Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 IF it did happen, Texas wouldn't leave alone, you realize this? It would be a domino trend-setter thing. Other states would join... mainly those around it. Besides there are rivers in Texas... I think.. God bless, Mikey
Aloysius Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 yeah, all signs point to the fact that Texas could be its own country if it wanted... hehe interesting...

Aloysius Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 well there's rivers and such... not to mention i don't think anyone is prepared to cut Texas's water supply off if it secedes.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 [quote name='Iacobus' date='Aug 21 2004, 10:23 PM'] Not without the Midwests water. [/quote] If Texas went, Nebraska would probably be willing to go with it, which means they would have the Ogilala Aquifer.
Norseman82 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 [quote name='Sinner' date='Aug 21 2004, 11:02 AM'] Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union (please refer to the Texas- American Annexation Treaty of 1848). [/quote] Well, when they seceded the first time (1861-1865), why didn't we honor it? There must be something more to this. Side note: San Antonio TX also has several military institutions, including the USAF basic training and officer training school. So, if it weren't for the Air Force Academy in Colorado, Texas would contain all our major Air Force training institutions.
Aloysius Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 technically: i'm pretty sure the Civil War was legally wrong according to states' rights, but it was still a just war.
Sinner Posted August 22, 2004 Author Posted August 22, 2004 Too funny!!!!! Anyone who thinks we can't stand alone wasn't wearin' boots and a six-shooter like we was when we was born! Texans can stand alone just on attitude!! EU? Gimme a break, we could spank them boys any day we wanna...... and who would join up with them wimps anyhow? Water? Well for starters, I suppose a few purification plants next to the little pond we call the Gulf of Mexico would get things goin'. Yall's jus jealous!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Theoketos Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 I think that Texans should get a lil Texican Icon...

Also count the fact that if you count the hardware and the number of troops all the countries have in the combined armies, navies, air forces and marine forces, I would hazard a guess that Texas would be just a little bit outnumbered. Navies for a start, France and Britain alone have 8 SSBN's and 19 SSN's between them. I could go on.... Edited August 22, 2004 by RandomProddy
Sammy Blaze Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 thinks to self *we should've seceded before they did Congressional redistricting* ~S.
