@awlditzy *thinks about that for a second* ... Let me get some numbers here *searches for some numbers* ... If Texas were to seccede from the USA they would have to screw up BADLY if they would end up anywhere below the 15th largest economy in the world as a sovereign nation. I wonder what some oil-giants would have to say about it though, I would love to simply ask a employee of ConocoPhilips or Exxon Mobil, because sertainly it would shake things up in the oil-industry by A LOT, probably for the whole continent you could feel the shift.

@metaltao "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." - Albert Einstein. Ofcourse actual serious debates about Texas secceding are about as usefull as talking about spaying your male cat. But for the sake of "What if" it is a ( halfway ) interesting one

@critialcloudkicker JA! Did you like the video my friend? *heavy french accent*
-
@metaltao Nah, only the part you litterally pointed out
-
@critialcloudkicker What...?
-
@metaltao You linked to 3M5S in the movie. So I thought you pointed out that particular point
-
@critialcloudkicker OH! Right! I forgot I did that! Sorry. I should have shown you the whole video... I see, now what you said makes sense! I am sorry.

@metaltao Any piece of paper saying that a country or state can't do something they have done so before is by design faulty. Also as pointed out by the video Texas could MAKE congress into rewriting virtually anything if they multiply their power of congress by 5, and if they do not play ball, New Texas 1 2 3 4 and 5 could just fillibuster EVERYTHING untill they do get what they want. Isn't politics great :) ( I'll be sitting over here in my desk-chair laughing out loud at phundits like John Steward when it happens )

@critialcloudkicker If, the people o the Government of Texas wants to deal with the vilification of that. But yes, they could. And I will be watching, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, and Stephen Colbert! THEY WILL DESTROY THIS SUBJECT WITH FACT CHECKING AND ALL OF THAT JAZZ! HAHAHA... THta is depressing...

@metaltao Stephen Colbert will be doing something else somewhere mid December though

@critialcloudkicker OOO! What will that be?
-
@metaltao He will succeed David Latterman as the host of The Late Show, effective when Mr Letterman retires. Also Steven has announced that he will not be hosting the show as his well know satirical right wing persona well known from The Colbert Report.
