Can't really judge someone's experience by when they first came to Dave's. I was in Korea before Korea had internet. I used to carry a 삐삐. 
No worries though. If you ever do actually make it to Korea I'll gladly buy you a beer. |

Now look, I don't know about you guys, but to me that kind of place is worth saving.
What about this Professor and the southern states like Florida, Ga. What, nobody wants 'em?
He sounds like a total dick to me.
After 9/11 and a long year after that, all Americans were wholly united and together. Perhaps after the fiasco many decided that the powers that be sucked, but, I am sure Americans haven't lost sense of the collective, regardless of 3% of the population being illegal immigrants ... is that really a large enough figure - less than 3% to get worked up about decrying that the country has fallen out of your hands? |

Are you joking? It's not even a remote possibility. It's absolutely ludicrous and would still be so if he had predicted this happening two decades from now. About 20 years ago, an American professor predicted that North America would divided into nine geographic regions of distinct cultural orientations but retain national and state borders as they are now. That seems to be happening already.
This is so much wishful thinking by a crackpot nationalist Russian academic (and I use that term of appellation loosely) and his anti-American sympathizers, of which there are more than a few on this board. |

Yeah, I mean why would we want an oil and resource rich place like Alaska which happens to be ON the northwest passage. It's much more likely we'd let go of our provinces cause Canada is nice like that. |

Amen, brother. Sharkey: note duly. Boy, do I have a headache. Anyone else wake up on a strange akashi's floor? Anyhoo, not to desensationalize dmbfan's post, but to make sense of it. |

The author of the book slams Obama. "(Obama) was just a social worker... he talks nicely... but is not a leader". It's funny because it is true.

| Love the map, and the way the US splits up into these nice neat contiguous N/S/E/W-facing blocks that get absorbed all as one by the nearest power in that direction. China eats the whole west coast, the EU gets the entire east, Mexico takes the south, etc.. No intra-regional complications of any sort. And the state borders remain totally intact. From the world's sole hyperpower in 2009 to the hapless plaything of Mexico, Canada and the EU in 2010..Folks, this guy is not a political scientist. |

If memory serves, my home state ends up going to Canada.
At least I'll have health coverage waiting for me when I get back home. |
