"I'm still waiting for a response from you as to why you think a secession movement would be unjustified. For someone who doesn't think this secession idea is worth your response, you've sure been doing a lot of writing to me about it. "
I thought it was obvious to someone with as formidable an intellect as yourself. We have a precendent for not allowing secession. So even if it were justified, it's not to be allowed.
"You've yet to offer one reason why the American revolution would be justified, yet secession would not be. Please do this before proceeding with any other comments. "
If you are suggesting revolution, that is one thing, if you are suggesting secession it's another. Which is it? They are profoundly different. Is your cause not worth revolution - I mean, don't you believe in what you stand for? Are you prepared to incite such a revolution? Therein lies the pragmatic answer.
"Also, learn some rules of logic before commenting on the rules of logic."
Some of us aren't as smart as you.
"You're posts are very dense. No reasons given for your position, just pure emoting. This is what neurotic women on serious meds do, but it's hardly becoming of an FR debate. "
You deserve every flame you get on this statement!
"Better yet, taking time off to honor the Gipper is the best way to spend time today. (And pleae, no predictable lines about the Gipper and the secession idea. Just spend time honoring the greatest President of the 20 century)."
We agree on something!
We have a precendent for not allowing secession. So even if it were justified, it's not to be allowed.
Should the American Revolution have been allowed? If yes, then why that revolution and not secession? You still have not answered the question. You apparently have not thought this through very carefully.
If you are suggesting revolution, that is one thing, if you are suggesting secession it's another. Which is it? They are profoundly different.
Wrong. In the American Revolution the colonies DID secede from the British crown. Nice try, but you need to think this issue through more carefully before responding. Again, why was the Revolution justified?
I will only respond with the same question to any more of your posts since it is the heart of the issue and you refuse to think it through and at least offer a difference.
