Strength is also a matter of willpower, you might not have the patience or persistence to physically "pwn" a person if you lacked willpower. So I say willpower is a factor of strength, and a person with a weak will is automatically weak.

I don't condone that kind of crap from Israel towards the Palestinians, let alone my own government towards, well, ANY of us... >_>

Relax, Byte. I'm joking, or course. But the thing is, I'm also *not* joking. The President of the United States of America is the one with the launch codes, the only one with authority to launch the birds. Sure, some of those nukes might be in the South, but they're not gonna have access to them, or be able to use 'em for anything if they could. And I don't doubt that the federal government WOULD use them if that were the case. After all, was there any step they DIDN'T take last time around?

So while you might find that horrifying, be aware that the stakes really are that high. Secede, and see what happens. (And don't for a moment think the Union troops wouldn't carry out their orders; they've been trained to get over that silly sentimentality)

I note for the record that I have no army. I *do* have a bank-robbing team, though. And we're always looking for new talent.

._.

But what if you secede in a really funny and/or stupid way, such that everyone is too busy making fun of you to care, and is kind of glad you're gone based on your behaviour?

If you secede in a hilarious way, you get the Smiley Nuke:



Best I can offer ya.

In that case , you are thoroughly self-screwed !

You don't even have a plan!

Robbing banks is for chumps!

Better to rob the banksters, then
brand them , and sell them to the Chinese !

I've been joking, too...just to clarify. I have no truk with war, of any kind.

But along that line:

I like OTB's idea best. Those are the guys screwing ALL of us, North and South; get rid of them, and maybe the South would be more reasonable...maybe.

But the smilie bomb gave me my first laugh of the morning anyway; thanx Mike!
