Women want me. Men want to be with me.

You know what would be funny?  The 1860-61 Secession votes held in a fair and honest manner...then the truth about the support in the south at THAT time would be known.

Southern fanboism is puerile.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

What about Texas?

Counted as part of the South (specifically, west south central ) in the link I gave.

Texas is Texas.  It is not a part of any other region of the country.

Similar situation: Alaska and Hawaii (each are their own 'regions').

Or possibly included as Pacific West.

I think it's neat. :)

Included in the weird is the fact that you were gratified by Lettow calling Kentucky part of the South.

Every third line here in nonsense. Microstates? Cuba, the communist dictatorship that allowed nuclear missiles onto its land, providing less provocation?

  You are badly misguided on this subject, even ignoring the oddities you sprout. That the South would be downtrodden and broke without the yankees is a common theme among northerners, with little to back it up. Take that 'Mass of unskilled anglophones' comment. College attendence down South is not signifigantly errant from the national average, you know. And nobody seems to take the gulf coast oil into account, either.

Almost every Southern state gets more money back from the government then they put in.  So yes the South would be downtrodden and broke without taking money from those awful liberal blue states.

Initially, I see the 20th century's confederacy as a five state union.

You're aware that we're in the 21st century already, right?

This thread most definitely proves that he is not.  :blush:

But then he wasn't really fit for the 20th century either. Or the 19th. He is just a sad commentary of what happens when too much anime is combined with lost cause revisionism.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

What about Texas?

La República de Texas?  It will be declared shortly after the Latino uprising of 2011.
