The United States, The New Yugoslavia? - Page 1

See any similarity? Hate and Division is growing daily here in America. There once was a time when people could disagree about politics, religion, ethnic groups and still be respectfull of one anothers rights to their beliefs. The old Yugoslavia ( as America) was a melting pot of people of different beliefs. Because not all groups agreed the division grew into seperatists groups, one throws a rock, another grabs a 22 rifle, another grabs a machine gun, then comes the tanks. All based on fear of being different. A whole country destroyed, divided because of fear and action based on that alone. 
 

It all starts with thoughts, escalates into words, then the fight. Listen are we at that point? Some states throw out the (threat?) of seperating from the US. Others blame the federal government for every bad thing from the economy to the weather causing all their problems. The problem is not the government. The problem is called freedom. The freedom to dissagree, debate, argue, but never to control the life of someone else.

I say, first these people that want to take their state and go, have nothing to do with the United States, Pay up your debts to the United States and GO. You won't, and if you did within a month or so you would be back scratching at the door. If you don't respect someones right to dissagree then you don't understand freedom or the constitution. So don't call yourselves patriots or constitutionalists.

Wake up the first rock has been thrown.

The fall of every civilization since the beginning of time has always been preceded by the concentration of wealth and power into the hands of the relative few.

* "Some states throw out the (threat?) of seperating from the US." *

Define your use of State, do you mean the 50 States in America or other Countries being a State ? Because there is a HUGE difference between the 50 US States and foreign States.

For example: the Civil War. The Civil War wasn't about slavery, it was about secession and not one Confederate Leader was ever brought to trial and nothing was ever ratified. The Union of the 50 individual US Republic States is not permanent to this day via the US Constitution.

If your talking foreign States - well, see ya around and have a good one.

That said, secession isn't a threat - it's a States right in the USA. Although I'm sure most think it a threat and words of aggression nowadays. LOL

BE, I'm talking in english the best I know. I'm talking about comments made here at home in America. Call it what you want. There is not secret code in what I said. You miss the point.
Hank

What was your point ? lol

Secession is what I gathered.

I get the point. The political atmosphere in the US is becoming more and more toxic and is way beyond what should be acceptable  in a civilized society. 

Blitzen you got it.

Very true, my twelve year old just this morning couldn't help listening to the negative political ads on the TV. He asked why are they doing that? I said because if they can make people think a person is a bad human being, they hope that will make people not vote for them. And then I was proud when he said, but isn't it wrong to make people feel bad? And I said, yes, and that is why these type of ads often backfire on the people using them, it makes them look worse.



Sidenote:  I did discover you can shut up robo-calls by screaming into the phone. Is it even considered rude when you do it to a machine?

From the mouths of babes.

BE,
It means even though you love Ron Paul and you think he will be elected president while I see little chance of that, I still think you are a nice,smart, person that has every right to believe what you want to believe and vote for who ever you choose. Without being demonized for doing so.
