If the country divided along political afflilation poll

The world is watching Jarlaxle implode.

Treason outs, always, little buddy, and the South got what was coming to it.

Mississippi is 1/3rd black and Vermont is nearly 90% white. Consider when considering violence.

Half of the murder in this country are caused by 13% of the population.

When considering test scores and crime stats....>Yes it does. The southern states would be no more violent or less intelligent then the northern states otherwise.

People that say it doesn't matter aren't helping blacks either.

 

[asaratis]

Mississippi most conservative state. Vermont most liberal.

Where would you rather live?

Quite obviously...Mississippi.

The only good thing coming from Vermont is maple syrup.

Progressives have a long history of being violent and nonproductive.

said the user that has "produced" a grand total of 32 posts in 4 yrs time sock drawer overflowing?

It is not the quantity of posts that counts...it is the quality...something that you do not exhibit.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I'd rather live within a society that has freedom and low crime. Either a Asian or white conservative area = that.

Blue West Coast, East Coast, Great Lakes, or federally funded racist red recessives full of snarling angry white dupes. The Ugly American States of America. lol. The polluted states of America, etc etc. Bring back slavery, the poor with no health care, poverty stricken elderly, poor houses. BRILLIANT. The right wing, always off the rails...

Slavery was legal and Constitutional. So, once again, you have failed to name any crimes they committed. You see, deciding to put an end to slavery required a Constitutional amendment. You don't get to do it by kicking anyone's ass.

You just admitted and gloated over the fact that Northerners "kicked the asses" of people who were entirely innocent of any crime.

That is so beautifully liberal!

The conservatives of the South ripped up the Constitution, pissed on the Flag, and fired on a federal installation.

No, you don't get "just one more time". That's over and done with.

The South was executed by the western and northern states, rightfully so.

I'm not aware anyone put you in charge of making the debate rules in this forum. That "federal installation" was located in the territory of a Sovereign country and illegally occupied according to international law. The confederates also did not "rip up the Constitution. They violated no part of it when they seceded.

The South was illegal invaded, and Lincoln and all his generals are guilty of war crimes. They all deserved to be hanged.

Boohoo. You can't have slavery. Poor guy. How are you ever going to make it? You may as well eat a bullet and get it over with.

So if there were a "Conservative America and a Progressive America" which country would survive? Which would be the most violent? Which would be the most productive?

1)Conservative America
2)Progressive America

well based along political lines and not state lines.

conservative America would be the only one that really could produce.

we would have all the farms, mines, rivers, most factories, warehouses. basically most means of production.

prog America is strictly in the cities and local burbs. There are a few strays everywhere, but cities die out and die out quickly w/o the country side to feed it.

 

[J.E.D]

The bottom line is that you're just a fascist asshole who believes you're entitled to shoot people for doing anything you don't approve of despite what the law or the Constitution says. You have made it perfectly clear you don't give a damn what the Constitution says.

Sorry, Bribaby, but the Constitution doesn't give you the right to keep slaves. Try again.

you are obsessed with blacks

the amount of anopheles in Mississippi is much more relevant than amount of blacks

both middle-of-nowhere as Vermont or Mississippi are do not seem appealing for me.

And I do not think you can pose a question like that - because too many biases are involved. If the difference has to be political orientation only - then everything else has to be equal in order to have a measurable response.

 

[francoHFW]

Silly neocons, 17-3. Most factories and and manufacturing are outside of the cities and suburbs, out in the country? LOL. This is the civil war all over again. The slave drivers and the rubes against the educated and the new producers...lol.

1)Conservative America
2)Progressive America

Considering the direction the progressive states are going it's pretty clear who would come out on top. The progressive states only hold those positions due to large urban populations reliant upon the welfare taken from others so what does that make the odds of their survival once the mooch money stops flowing? Cities like Chicago will go up in flames all by themselves if left alone, the rest of the state just needs to contain the ones trying to escape. LA? Same thing. It's pretty much true across the spectrum really. The productive portions (rural) will be fine without the urban side while the opposite could never be true.

Conservative America will survive. Progressive America can't survive under the weight it is carrying now let alone taking away the crutch the desperately need.

i refuse to reply to the poll.., because i may be RIGHT !

How about doing something which has never yet been tried in this country?..........

RATIONAL America!! · ·

[Moonglow]

you can see where the republican progressives took this nation after the Civil war.

 

[blackhawk]

There are good and bad conservatives and good and bad progressives either one will have it's advantages and drawbacks.

Collectivism failed even with the pilgrims....Progressivism doesn't work

The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their
merchant-sponsers in London called for everything they produced to go into a
common store, and each member of the community was entitled to one common share

. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the
community as well. They were collectivists.

Now. Bradford, who had become the new Governor of the colony, recognized that
this form of collectivism was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as that
first, harsh winter, which had taken so many lives.

He decided to take bold action. Bradford assigned a plot of land to each family
to work and manage, thus turning loose the power of the marketplace.

What Bradford and his community found was that the most creative and
industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anyone else, unless
they could utilize the power of personal motivation!

But, while most of the rest of the world has been experimenting with socialism
for well over 100 years…trying to refine it, perfect it and re-invent it, the
Pilgrims decided early on to scrap it permanently….This is what Bradford
wrote:

“The experience that we had in this common course and condition, tried
sundry years…that by taking away property, and bringing community into a
common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing…as if they were wiser
than God.

For this community was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard
much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young
men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they
should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children
without any recompense…that was thought injustice.”

The Pilgrims found that people could not be expected to do their best work
without incentive. So what did Bradfords ‘ community try next? They unharnessed
the power of good old free enterprise by invoking the under girding
capitalistic principle of private property,

Every family was assigned its’ own plot of land to work and were permitted to
market its’ own crops and products. What was the result? Bradford wrote,
“This had very good success for it made all hands industrious, so as much
more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.” In no time, the
Pilgrims found they had more food than they could possibly eat themselves…so
they set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians.

The profits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London .
The success and prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans
and began the ‘Great Puritan Migration’.

So the Pilgrims decided to thank God for all of there good fortune…and that’s
Thanksgiving. The celebration of capitalism, free market incentives and
personal motivation.

You should take them to court.
