America 'Disintegrates' in 2010
 

I figured I would post this before "someone" else does. :smug: It's interesting, although I have to laugh at the idea of a civil war brought on by "moral degredation". Anyway, please discuss with a little civility. We don't want a flame war here to trigger the collapse of the world's oldest democracy. ;)

At least we will still have Tex-Mex in the Lone Star State :up:

This is very far fetched.

:hmm:At last we dutch can have New York City back! :smug: ''Muhahahahaha''

The area where I live might join Europe. cool.:lol:

We get Wisconsin? You gotta be kidding me!

LOL hey thats a map from the game "Shattered Union" :p

Plagerisim !!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

The Texas Republic? I think this guys been smoking a little too much wacky tobacky:D There's no way that New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are going to become part of Mexico and Texas has already been reclaimed by Mexico (at least as far North as San Antonio).

Yea, Those two maps look eerily similar.:yep::lol: (well there is a difference in shapes of the different thingy s.)

I also wonder what makes this guy think this, I guess he had a dream.

So this is Silent Hunter 5. I wondered what all the fuss was about. Cool idea, Dan! :D

This was posted a while ago, wasn't it?

I still think it's damn similar to the Crimson Skies universe

Wishful thinking by the Russians if you ask me :lol:

Besides, we can't afford to take back any of the US these days....it's nigh on impossible supporting ourselves :p

I have images of Rancho Subsim being converted to the Alamo. :up:

Closer to truth than you might realize.

If he thinks New York and New England would allow Kentucky and Tennessee into their union, he has zero understanding of American culture. And Texas would just say screw it, we're a Republic again. We wouldn't have anything to do with Oklahoma.

Looks like this guy got the idea from a game of Risk. :roll:

This is about as bloody likely as me and SUBMAN1 agreeing on politics, religion and science.

I'm fairly certain North Dakota is already part of Canada.

South Carolina happily in Europe with New England and friends? Rigggghhht. This guy never read any American Civil War history.

Hope to see some change.
America is now quite boring now. All jingoists, "God, Jesus" chanting, flag waving morons...:hmm:

Dread, they're not even a real country anyway.:roll: :lol:

And nothing spices up things better than a bloody real civil war!:arrgh!:

Such crackpots are always there, but at least the guy is brave, one has to give him that. Most people would at least have waffled a bit. Say "sometime in the next ten years" or even muffier than that. Pinning his prediction down to less than a month's span?

In the unlikely event that it actually happens sometime, he'll be a visionary of a sort.

In the impossible event it actually happens on schedule, he deserves a Nobel Prize, because he'll have found a way to scientifically calculate the effects of countless psychological, sociological and economic factors and integrate them into a highly accurate model.

In a sense, I almost wish he's right, because then it'll be one huge step for socialscience. Overnight it'll have gotten out of the "soft science" category and into the hard.

But then, if he's right, we are really screwed. While there are many nations that want to see America get pulled down from its leader spot, I don't think any nation in the world is ready for America to go down in 2010.

Fortunately, he's just a crackpot...
