The OP was "LMAO-ing" over the idea of secession, then suggested that I watch too much television when I mentioned Czech and Slovakia breaking up. At this point, it's just trolling at the lowest form.

I haven't heard anyone personally laugh at my upcoming attendance for the Raleigh tea party, and I'm a fairly approachable individual.

The split of the Czech Republic and Slovakia are a "so what". It isn't going to happen in the United States. Get a grip. The secessionist are like the "militia" groups. Deranged idiots who talk only to themselves and think anybody else cares.

Why do you think it impossible for the USA to break up?

Until it actually happens, anyone who thinks it would is cwazy.

See, all of those events were entirely predictable by those in C/D after the fact.

Oh, quit trying to be cute! The USSR was a forced merger, as were Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. The splitting of Germany was a different case altogether, the result of a 'committee'.
