Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You needn't worry. As the meme writers are so fond of pointing out, they're the side with the guns.
That's what they said about the south in the other civil war.

Edit: not specifically about guns, but about more experienced troops and officers.

"You needn't worry, this idea is ridiculous" didn't have the same quippy feel. But yeah, the winner of this hypothetical war would depend on a lot of things.

I think that guns were more common in the South.  They did have a large populace that needed to be kept down at all costs.  That's why they're militia system was stronger than the North.  The dirty secret of the war though, is that nobody had experienced troops or officers.  I don't think there was anyone of the entire continent that had commanded more than 20,000 soldiers in one battle, and the one guy who did that was too old and fat to fight.

No, there is still. Violence or the threat of it cannot be part of politics. Rome tried that. the Weimar Republic also tried it, among others.
but the left still love it :)

Who is gunning down Jews and sending pipe bombs to journalists in this country? (Let alone throwning children into desert concentration camps) It's not the left.

Some chanting outside someone's home, while distasteful, doesn't not compare to murder.
Hmm, let's see... who here, in Quebec....

And what does that have to do with America?

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

There's been a lot of stupid stuff posted here over the years, but I think the idea that tax evasion is something only done by right-wingers may be the stupidest.

Tax evasion is done by the rich, poor people can't afford the knowledge.

Getting cash under the table and underdeclaring tips probably skew toward the bottom of the income spectrum.

Besides, rich people aren't all right wingers.

Sure but it's peanuts compared to the amounts lost through tax evasion.

I don't know how you'd go about seeing how much money is paid under the table.  Of course paying someone under the table is tax evasion.  The cost of Tax evasion is a little short of half a billion a year.

Yeah, I think there are probably stupider things that have been posted.
