Politics and religion.

doesn't it get exhausting talking down to people all the time? It's exhausting to read the constant back and forth

You've got that right. I'm so glad he doesn't post here that often anymore.

??? Huh? Lol

Lots of people don't post here anymore but it hasn't made a dent in the back and forth nonsense.

This thread is a good example of why this country will always be bipartisan and divided and the "other parties" will never stabd a chance

I'm sure you can tell who everyone in this this thread cast their vote
for just by their comments.......

NOT! I tell folks it's a secret ballot for a reason.

But Sparks, we have more in common than this thread would lead anyone to believe. And I do not think of America as split, or bi-partisan, no matter how much the political pundits proclaim it to be so. For example, there's not such thing as a "red state," or a "blue state" in every state, I guarantee you, there were people who voted the opposite of the way the state landed on the big map, and people who voted for parties and people not represented in that equation. America is not two colors, it is not "red" and "blue" - truth be told, it has green, pink, brown, rainbow - it is more like plaid! But that doesn't make it simple enough for clever sound bites.

Don't buy the hype the commentators spew forth. And remember, here on Pet Talk, we all love and care about pets - who have no politics whatsoever. Any dog I know would take a treat as readily from a member of one political party or another, big or small, red, blue, green, rainbow - a treat is a treat! And some cats are as likely to snub any human being of any political party, regardless of his or her opinion about elections.

I'm reading Texas and Louisiana have petitions to secede.....

Wanna go? Fine.

However....

We'll be expecting repatriation of all troops and equipment in any military posts in those states,to include the National Guard equipment (Uncle sugar provides the equipment, the state just provides a portion of the training money) as well as all machinery related to military production which has been paid for with United States tax dollars, in addition to research labs and all other government infrastructure. As for the physical infrastructure we will be leaving behind, we'll expect payment for that in due course.

LockMart Fort Worth? We'll be wanting that as well as all the research data. After all, we keep hearing that without military contracts, it would fold. Let's cut out the pain in the middle, just send it north.

Ditto for Siemens in Arlington.


We'll be expecting the return of all Army Corps of Engineers equipment and personnel as well.


As to Louisiana, you can keep Ingalls shipyard. The work has been shoddy as of late, and the equipment is just too big to move. We will, however, be seizing or destroying (depending on size and ease of movement) any equipment mission-specific to the construction of US naval vessels. I'm sure the shipyard in Philly would like the work back.

Please note, all research facilities at Universities and the information generated there paid for with federal tax money will be expected to be returned as well.

Given the tenor of the proposals, we don't expect that you want the US Navy and military in general to protect you. Please reflag all vessels forthwith, and be advised that the US Navy is no longer your protector. I'm sure, however, for a price (after all, you want unfettered capitalism, you got it) we can arrange something.

My secret ballot is cast for Florida to secede.
