What's wrong with the US?

If the coach is weak then change the coach

If the system is failing then change the system. The competition won't wait while you are thinking about it.
 
Quote from ByLoSellHi:

The Civil War had to be fought, in part, to reign in the southerners, and keep them from practicing inbreeding, which was a real genetic threat to the country at the time.

The men who founded America were all quite educated and radical - they'd be known as social AND economic radicals today - separation of church and state? Totally rad. States' rights, and not homage to a central government? Totally rad. Anti-tax sentiment? Rad. The notion that the head of state should be elected, and not crowned? Rad.

So, aside from economics and the issue of slavery, which were part and parcel of the reason, another leg of the stool for the waging of the Civil War was the fear among the educated that the South was at real risk of becoming a land of inbred mental defects, sitting around having sex with their immediate family members, boiling possum on the front porch.

For those of you who know that I'm right, and not just joking around, you've obviously been exposed, willingly or unknowingly, to the parts of the deep south that still exist in roughly the same form as they did back then, and that serve as evidence that what I'm saying is absolutely true.

The metropolitan areas were forcibly civilized, but the backwoods live on as petri dishes of incest and mental retardation southern style.

At least the metropolitan areas were brought up to date, though. The northern sophisticates introduced them to the joys of dude on dude sex and that's something that I'm sure they're very grateful for.

Now if we can just get the southern folk to smoke crack cocaine, we'll have done away with the last vestiges of any discernable differences between the north and the south.
 
Yes, I am joking.

Actually, the history of why the Civil War was fought is absolutely fascinating and still the realm of rigorous academic debate today - it wasn't for the reasons cited in standardized textbooks.
 
Quote from jficquette:

We don't have any "real" problems now that didn't exist in 1776 because human needs are basic.

Our "modern problems" are due to the fucked up government and how it has strayed from its original charter.


The knee jerk reaction is to replace the constitution with what ever feels good during the current election cycle which is what we have been doing for at least the last 70 years.

Pumping money into mis-managed companies only puts off the problem.

The US has always had an advantage over Europe but there are new countries muscling their way to the top - namely China, India, Brazil and even Russia.

I suggest that someone in the States looks forward to where they hope America will be in 10, 20 or 50 years time and back-engineers a system to deliver.

Calling an end to the North/South divide could help too
 
Quote from gigsup:

I was waiting for that. Check your history on the beginnings of the organization. I do believe it had a resurgence in the early 1900's in Indiana, a Northern state so please spare us all the hypocrisy. Forrest was a slave trader before the war, obviously he saw the error of his ways. No question a great man regardless of what you may think.

Also, did you notice "one flag, one country"

Actually the whole point in reply to your comment.

Spare you what hypocrisy? I realize that NBF was a 'great' man, I also know that he left the KKK because it grew too violent for him. What makes you think he saw 'the error of his ways' though? He left a million dollar business to 'kill yanks', something tells me he didn't change his mind simple because the south lost the war. Anyways why are we even talking about him lol.

One of the best quotes regarding the war........

"To say the civil war was all about slavery is as ridiculous as saying it had nothing to do with slavery" :D
