I wish them sucess. :lol

Seriously, they have also talked about merging with Wyoming if secession doesn't work.

[scott]

Typing too fast fail... :bang

[scroteface]

It's their right as free people to be self governed according to their own political wishes. They aren't being represented so they're taking back their natural born right.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, that's not the way it works.

[boutons_deux]

It's their right as free people to be self governed according to their own political wishes. They aren't being represented so they're taking back their natural born right.

:lol

they'd have more chance of success if they would, like Bishop Gecko says, self-deport to a red state full of other ignorant bubbas.

[CosmicCowboy]

Dang Scott...how did you edit the thread title?

Seriously, I didn't do a it, a Mod must have.

GOP just needs to get over it and accept the incompetent leadership that will continue to be elected by large swaths of low-information voters.

[EVAY]

This is very reminiscent of the Texas "let's secede from the union" after Obama's re-election. What is with the 'my way or I'll leave' messaging?

I mean really, this makes no more sense than if the democratic voters in Texas threatened to secede because the state is so irredeemably red. There is an essential failure to understand the nature of democracy if this is the result. You don't want to live here? MOVE!!!!!! Just don't involve everybody else in your little temper tantrums. Good grief!

[Spurminator]

Secession is the purest form of Patriotism.

So why don't you just secede, as an individual.
Free yourself from all these taxes.
And once you leave your driveway, take a shower, or turn a light on, you can consider yourself a worthless drag on the rest of us. Frkn freeloading welfare scumbag...

Shut the fuck up. Your generation fucked everything up for everyone.

It's literally insulting to me that you don't seem to recognize that.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Baby boomers voted for handouts, bailouts, a nanny state, and endless wars, but now that our economy and reputation are in ruins, you all want to blame everyone but yourselves.....

[Bill_Brasky]

Every time I hear a baby boomer talk about "working hard", "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps", "putting myself through college working at McDonald's and didn't have any debt", i wanna slap the shit out of them. Their parents survived the depression and WW2, worked their asses off like crazy, taxed themselves heavily, and created a strong middle class so their kids could, for the first tine in hisory, get a nice affordable college education. They had every advantage imaginable. Then they wanna act like they did it all themselves with no help. Give me a fuckin break.

Gen-x'er myself. I don't disagree that the "Me" generation was incredibly narcissistic. Apparently, a trait shared by millenials

[boutons_deux]

boomer trashing from ignorant fucks :lol

millions of boomers are fucked, never achieved or were not able maintain the level of financial position and security their parents did in the 1945-1975 expansion when basically all boats were rising.

Then the Banksters Great Depression destroyed their good jobs, stole their homes, pilfered their savings accounts, etc, etc.

Get your shit straight: it's ALWAYS the the 1% vs the 99%, not generation versus generation, not left vs right, not black vs white, etc, etc. it's ALWAYS the the 1% vs the 99%

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Darrin is an Xer that is trying to carry on the boomer legacy. He seems to think that advocating their self serving shortsighted views makes the ones that disagree with them narcissistic.

And :lol boutox and his RISE THE PROLETARIAT! nonsense.

Mocking me because I love math and am very good at it is fun I guess.

You're just mad that you had to learn C++ because your UTSA engineering degree couldn't get you a job in the field.

Oh, so you do want government services.
OK then, don't secede.
Run for office and make things better while you are at it.

Explain this to the people in Colorado.

Tbh it's funny how much all the Republicans on this site hate math, but it kinda makes sense since people who hate math are generally people who like ignoring empirical evidence, which is a quintessential part of the Republican party.

I don't dig ditches, but I don't consider any work "beneath me". I like engineering and software development, so the job I have gives me the best of both worlds.

So, you dabble in medical imaging when you aren't hitting the bong? I know some people in that field. Maybe they've heard of you?

Are you crowd funding this? Got a kickstarter page? Using venture capital? (psst -- might want to take a bath before presenting your business plan)

I am willing to work when and how I have to but all you sound like is the reasoning behind 'beggars cannot be choosers.'

You can make stuff up about me all you like but you were the one that said that you could not get a job with your degree --little doubt as to why-- and that you had to learn how to code just to get a job.

Let's keep in mind what started this. You have a degree in engineering and you make fun of someone because they talk about math. I realize that you went to one of the shittiest engineering colleges in the country but that is just fucking sad. No wonder you had to learn code. You certainly aren't desirable on field aptitude.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Did you know UTSA's engineering program only requires math through calc 2 :lol

:lmao an engineering program that doesn't require any multivariable calc

:lol cause I don't care, and because those courses maybe "Apply mathematical principals" :lmao, but that doesn't change the fact UTSA makes its engineering majors take less math than any other engineering program I've ever heard of.

No offense, but finance majors don't have nearly the mathematical rigor of an engineering degree -- even one from UTSA
