What would happen if they actually did leave the union in the near future? I'm guessing they would merge w/ Mexico? Or become an independent country?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
What happens if Texas secedes

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

First I really doubt any US state will leave any time soon, but, if Texas did, there is absolutely no way in hell they will ever even consider joining Mexico.

I'm pretty sure the last Civil War set the precedent of what happens when a state tries to leave the Union.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The question is flawed. The provision upon Texas's annex into the US was a formed agreement from one country to another, as Texas was techincally it's own country and not a territory bought or taken by the he US. It states in the agreement that if Texas wanted to secede from the US it could do so on it's own voting basis without the executive branch interviening. However if it were to secede it would become it's own country with five predetermined parts outlined in the agreement.

It would get taken over by drug kingpins in a heartbeat. Since our military basically keeps them safe, they would be defenseless. On top of that, I think half of Texas's population would move to US overnight.

eh Texas, if they secede here's what will happen:
1) US invades
2) takes over
3) everything's back in order
I guess it would be an excuse to kill some dip**** creationists during the takeover, but otherwise, I couldn't give 2 ****s about Texas.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

lol. I'D LAUGH MY ASS OFF, IF THAT HAPPENED.
US has a long history of supporting the breakup of many different countries, including Russia and Former Yugoslavia (especially Kosovo).
I hate all politicians. What a bunch of hypocrites.

This board has the biggest collection of uninformed people I've ever seen when it comes to ANYTHING political.
Why would Texas secede? If any state would secede from the Union, it would be Alaska. There is a political party that exists that calls for secession. However, the chances of it ever happening are very slim at best.
Any state that seceded from the Union would be foolish. Their economic, political, and social structures would be hit so hard that the state would crumble and crawl back to the United States. That's why the Confederacy never really had a chance of existing without support from England or France and fought so hard for it.

...can I get at least PARTIAL credit for knowing about the ability to split? What a drag...Thank god I don't have to back to real school anymore.Deep Dish said:
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

If Texas or any one state becomes an independent country, I think several others will too. There is a lot of talk of it right now, but how many people are on board with actually doing what it takes to break away from the handouts that the federal government gives at this point? It would also mean the possibility of an all out war with the remaining states.
If things continue to go as they are (government getting bigger and more oppressive) it will happen sooner or later. When it does, all hell will break loose and we'll have another massive civil war in America, but people are going to be fighting each other within their own states, not just big divided regions like last time.

In the so-called "Civil War," the North was actually in the wrong. The southern states peacefully seceded, and the North initiated war.
When this country was created, under the constitution, states were free to secede. There was nothing saying that once you're in, you can never get out.
Otherwise those states would never have joined the United States in the first place. They were reluctant to begin with.
Also, contrary to what is taught in most schools, the Civil War was not about slavery. Never was. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure. Lincoln himself didn't care whether we had slaves or not.

In modern times, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a second revolution, once the U.S. dollar is only good for lighting fires and people begin to get angry....

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
