-And yet an independent Texas' economic prospects are actually very similar to an independant UKs........
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We didn't make it around the corner even back in the 1800's! lol The Republic of Texas was a huge failure but Texans ignore that part
Probably could, today. The states GDP is bigger than most countries.

It's not that I disagree...but you could cut Texas' GDP -in half- and it would still be bigger than alot of countries we don't exactly think of as shitholes. To my mind, that only highlights the idiocy of secessionist dreams....regardless of who may harbor them or what body they seek to leave. It would be a bad idea for them...and they're better off than the majority of soveriegn nations by a wide margin. I know that brits don't appreciate the comparison, but they've just ran out the stars and bars, and from the outside...that much is obvious, as is where this decision will lead.

But this isn't even the NFL this is for high school teenagers! We are funding these 16 year olds to beat each other up to the point of actually hurting themselves permanently. I detest football if you couldn't tell lol |
