Interesting yet I hope not accurate...

One of those "the more you hear it repeated the more likely it is to occur" predictions.

When people keep hearing over and over that the banking system is collapsing they all start taking their money out of the banking system, resulting in a collapse.

/shrug

It could happen.

I'm sure it's not biased, especially where we divide up to 6 parts ( with russia getting Alaska).

lol not happening

LOL..it is definitely biased but also is giving insight into what Russia can be swayed into thinking or desiring...but hey...leave Palin up there and give them Alaska, we'll be better for it.

Nooo too many natural resources. Do you suppose they'll just take Palin?;P

Oh and I'm sure he's being mainlined into their media to sway folks into Putin's camp.

2 days left for John Titor's prediction of civil war in the U.S. in 2008 to come true!

Prediction's like this are always widely optimistic or hysterically pesimistic - never built on logic and rarely taking heed of context.

Still fun, though.

That has been circulating for years upon years. It just gets updated now and then.

Yeah our civil war isn't *really* going to happen until 2012 when the world ends Duuuh, someone should send that guy the link to the Discovery Channel video

You can tell how little this guy understands about the US by the absurd state groupings he came up with. They seem more for aesthetics than anything else.

This guy has no real understanding of America's social structure whatsoever. 45 to 55% chance? No way.

Our population has been too mobile for far too long for regional independence movements to have any real backing. In the space of ten years, I lived on the east coast, the west coast and points in between and I'm in no way unique or even uncommon.

If any territory splits off from the US in the coming years it will be Hawaii, having a significant indigenous population with a past history of independence and the least time as a state of the US.

People joke about Texas, but there is little chance it would split off. They may be Texans first, but they are Americans as a close fucking second.

As far as Alaska goes, it would opt for Canada long before Russia. Not that it would go anywhere in my opinion.

If you look hard enough you can find someone to say anything. Hell, we've got people who think the earth is six thousand years old and Jesus was actually born on December 25th. This is why all the smart people look for corroborating evidence while the monkeys run around denying global warming.

There has been some prediction of a civil war in the USofA every year since it was no longer possible to predict wars between the British colonies here.
