Texas has the 15th largest economy in the world based on GDP figures - for just 25million people...

I doubt they'll suffer, if they decide to secede...

manny4life:
Hmm, you have come with your own statistics abi?

manny4life:
I don't know about "the world" but I know they are second after CA. They are there because of the influence of other union states. TX may stand alone, but things will definitely fall apart, there are so many thing TX doesn't have. TX is good for agriculture, but the financial hub is basically NY, while IT is for CA etc...

Lmao.... They're going to become minorities in 20 years time and English will become the 2nd language, anyway...

Let them ride the wheel till it falls off...

shymexx:

You know Texas has a right to secede, right?

shymexx:

American has been planning for this for years - and don't be surprised when Obama declares martial law in those states....

hotwax:
So hausa is gonna be their first language?
This is A̶̲̥̅​ war between repuiblican and democrats.
Zionists versus Illuminatis/satanist.

Let's see who wins. Although Illuminatis has won thre election.

My blood is still zion.

PehaKaso: Pls can any part of Nigeria exercise such rights?

shymexx:

Most of the folks in the US Army are from the Southern States, check the stats, bro...

shymexx:

What about the oil?

They have got that oil money and that should be able to sustain them for a long time...

Many of you make simplistic and naïve comments. You should read a lot of history and the human sciences. Obama will be very worried right now. Saying 25000 people is insignificant is a very naïve way to think. Some things start small and spiral out of control. Society has alway been driven by trends. Many of the lybians and tunisians and egyptians who joined the arab spring can't even explain why they joined. What is happening in America is a very serious indicator of a major problem waiting to happen. The fact that CNN and MSNBC are avoiding it is another proof that they know it can have very far reaching implications. Declaring martial law, believe me, is that last thing Obama would want to do. That will be the final straw that will break America. The pictures of American soldiers on American streets will never unite America. It will forever change America. People are very worried that Obama was reelected and it isn't because they are racist like some of you tried to paint. Some people who are worried voted Obama in 2008. Never forget Obama won the majority votes by just 2%. The electoral college figures doesn't really give the right picture. Obama narrowly won and that is the fact. I watched the analysis on CNN and what most of the media guys concluded and agreed on is that America is seriously divided and Obama has a tough task to unite America. The republicans believe that the social ideologies of Obama and the democrats will ruin America and with 57 million people on government aid, I think they have a strong case.

redsun: It is sad.That is exactly what the tea party wants.

Their only agony is that people are going to become equal and they will end up destroying themselves,because that is what evil does,it destroys itself at a point.

The only thing that endureth for ever is love.

Even if a White House official does address the secession pleas, however, it's unlikely any action will be taken; the website promises little more than a response even for the most popular petitions.

manny4life:

Shymmex, post something that supports your claim - let's leave all this guess work.

Let me guess, Southern states have oil too... shoot, when the time comes, we shall know now...

BizBooks: Texas has a population of 25 Million. Now, how do you think that an online petition signed by
25,000 people will decide her fate. To tell you truth, this is making zero news here in the
US. If you want to know, below are the important topics being discussed on all the broadcast
channels and online:

1. Resignation of CIA Director, David Petraeus
2. The Gen. John Allen Affair
3. The Fiscal Cliff
4. The Person to replace Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State (Kerry or Rice)
5. The Person to replace Leon Panetta as Secretary of Defense
6. Obama's consideration of Romney as Commerce Secretary (rumour).

Nobody is talking about Texas secession because it is simply not going to happen.

This america and not Nigeria. They have the right if they want. Especially when china and muslims are running A̶̲̥̅​ xtian dominated country. They need to break that union.

Here is the proof:

"Rural counties dominated a list of the top 100 counties with the highest military recruitment rates in 2004 and 2008 figures compiled by the National Priorities Project, illustrated on the map above. Their analysis looked at the Army's recruitment rate per 1,000 people aged 18-24 in each county in the U.S. The highest rate in the nation in 2004 was from Mineral County, Montana, with three other counties from that state in the top 20. Other states in the list included Kansas with three counties, Texas with three, and Nebraska with two. Rural counties in Mississippi, Illinois, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missouri, South Dakota, and Kentucky round out the list.

That year, more than 44 percent of military recruits came from rural areas, according to Pentagon figures. In contrast, only 14 percent came from major cities. Regionally, most enlistees come from the South (40 percent) and the West (24 percent)."

These are the top oil producing states in America: Alaska, California, Louisiana, North Dakota, and Texas... Notice they have all filed for secession...

Ugosample: Please help me tell them! Bunch of losers!

manny4life:
Look, I don't care whether they secede or not, that is their fuc.king problem, NOT MINE. No offense bro, but I don't have the luxury time of discussing irrelevant issue that won't be taken serious for a couple of more years down the road. Like I initially stated, whether they have 25k, or 1miilion signatures, it's highly irrelevant until there's a legislative committee review...

Whoeever isn't happy about Obama's re-election can do whatever they wish.

eledalo: 25000 out of a population of 2.5 million? Now I believe America is a place where voices are heard. Imagine if 25000 people in Lagos sign petition to secede from Nigeria... who go answer them?

shymexx:

Hmmm... But one person started the Arab Spring...

shymexx:

Don't worry when it kicks off, I hope the UN will declare a No Fly Zone over America lool...

I'm just having fun on this thread - America is about to get gang raped as well...
