OHCHUTE 0 #4 October 12, 2013 It's all about money. Wall Street is too powerful to allow a civil war. The banks keep just enough money in circulation to avoid civil disobedience. Remember, if people don't have money then the rich can't get richer.... That's a fact. Look now, Miley Cyrus draws more attention than the gov't shut down. People don't care as they have enough money to buy gas, T shirts, dope, beer, rent money. When there's not enough money for beer, rent etc.. then all hell might break loose.

Tink1717 2 #6 October 13, 2013 There will likely be some kind of civil war in the near future. However, it is unlikely to be anything on the order of the 19th century disaster of 1861-1865. More likely to be suppressed by local police and agencies like FBI, ATF, DEA, etc...Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

jgoose71 0 #11 October 13, 2013 There won't be a civil war. I would describe it more as a "political upheaval". Our current system is getting to be more and more broken by the day and is representing the average American less and less. The problem is the average American is to ill informed now a days to know what the problem is or how to fix it because our "free press" doesn't do it's job anymore. So ya, call it what ever they were doing in Greece... "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

The explanation is simple: too much television. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

In fact it's been going on since 1968! There's been a financial war. The rich, and wall street dogs, have taken the wealth of the nation via their ponzi schemes. Middle class is shrinking. True, money is the greatest weapon as it wields tremendous power. For instance: having to pay $250,000 that only the rich can afford for a report that will lead to sure bets in the market that the average Joe doesn't have access to, is one example. Rich get richer. We are seeing the rich battling it out for campaign finance laws that allow further demise of the middle class. It's all about money and power. The public has little as they are not organized enough. Corporations (stock firms) rule. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but that was actually doing something as opposed to only doing something metaphorically. The topic of this thread is about actually doing something; violence traded in defense of for a "way of life." I simply do not see that happening. To equate an actual civil war with TV talking heads yelling back and forth is silly. A "culture war" is not an actual war.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
