I no longer think one American government can govern over the defacto
regions that are forming in America.  There are observable differences
between areas: the South, the north east, mid-atlantic east coast, mid-
west, west coast, the west (east of the rockies).  Maybe even the
southwest and the southeast.

These regions have conflicting cultures that at times are in direct
opposition to each other.  The regions compete as if they are separate
countries.  No government can satisfy the electorate in all these
regions.  This is what is causing the constant pre-civil war mentality
in some areas.

The only sane way out is an American Union of regions, similar to the
European Union.

Why do you think that such regions would be reluctant to go to war
with each other?

Free trade = trade war. Political upheaval and shooting wars follow,
every time.

They would try, but we would convert the armed forces into a NATO
force.

I took the idea to an absurd place for effect.  America is winner take
all government.  If the fundamental christians get past a tipping
point of House and Senate votes they can turn the whole country into
their fantasy (I like Jesusland).  They want to gut arts funding,
privatize social security and medicare, do away with the EPA, ban all
abortions, change us from a religious tolerant nation to a country
with a state religion, the list goes on.

As of Jan 01, 2011 I went into forced retirement.  Is it really going
to be "you don't like it leave"?  I wonder if Canada has a
"Retirement" visa?

I wonder if you realize how incredibly bigoted you are and I wonder if
you understand exactly how insulting you are? How can you use the word
tolerant when you are anything but? I'm Christian and don't give a
rats ass if you are or not. You are not and want to take away my right
to be. You are a brainwashed hater. If someone wants you to leave it
isn't because you can't fit in, it is because you hate everyone and
you'll be lucky to get along with anyone. I don't think Canada wants
you but you might try Cuba

BS.

It is sad Miguel, I don't post in forums much because of people like
edspyhill01 and you. Your hatred towards people of faith is
overwhelming and so easily go off topic just so you can spew some of
it out. I hope you can find peace in your life - even though you live
to take it from others.- Hide quoted text -

Dude,
Self-professed "Christians" are some of the most hateful, maladjusted
people I've ever met.
I remember this one guy who continually used the epithet "queerboy" to
refer to someone he didn't like.
That doesn't sound like much of a Christian to me.
Perhaps Nietzsche was right.
What do you think?- Hide quoted text -

Frankly they seem like anyone else to me. Some are a pain some are
truly kind people, most are in between.- Hide quoted text -

I agree.
But I think there is a positive ideal of Christianity that embodies
love, tolerance and forgiveness.
I have met a few of those folks, and they are people of the highest
caliber.
Not a single one of them has habitially prefaced every statement with
"I'm a Christian..."
When someone asserts something forcefully like that, it's a good bet
that they are 180 degrees opposed to the true ideal that they are
espousing.
It's much the same as "I'm normally a nice guy, but..."
Much the same with homophobes in my experience.
The louder people profess against homosexuality, the more latent
homosexuality they possess.
Don't read to much into it. The guy I was razzing has been stalking me
since I kicked him off of my facebook site more then half a year ago.
He's been posting all kinds of things about me and frankly, when I
found out he was shy about *his* latencies, I used it to shut him up.
He's one of those really clinical psychos that should be put away for
everyone;s good.
As far as being Christian, the only time I bring it up is when there
is a discussion including it or someone starts saying derogatory
statements about Christians like what started this off topic
discussion.
As far as I am concerned, God can take care of himself. I only want to
stop the hatred that forms against Christians. I happen to know
history very well and know this the USA is exactly in the same place
with Christians as Germany was with Jews in the 1930's. I have a right
to believe as I wish. If you or anyone else wants to start the
propaganda against my beliefs, I KNOW that if I do nothing, we'll be
seeing the concentration camps filling up with Christians very soon.
If no-one brings up religion in a guitar forum, that would be find
with me. Once you bring it up and especially when my faith is
attacked, you can be damned sure I'll speak my mind. I think its only
fair - What do you think? ..... Or perhaps it's time to not ask (and
not try to be like Jonathan and start a flame war)
