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?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What happens if Texas secedes

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
"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.

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's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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:
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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....
