Hot monkey love.

Why is this even a question?

This thread jumped the Shark Sunday, though. Everyone is talking past each other. MtLeconte made the best post of the thread for Pete's sake...proving this thread is off the rails.

Do you troll UF fans in Jax as hard as you troll our board?

I'm not sure what you're asking. In Jax?

Also, it's hard to talk sht to UF fans when we lose every damn year. Many of my friends are uf grads (given where I grew up and live), I've been answering the phone when they call with "38 unanswered" for the last year. It's grating to them after four of five times, i wont stop.

Appears we will be getting our own little rumble. Full Communism (whatever that is) wants to have a rally at Coolidge Park for the dead woman. A local employee was fired from a business when they found out he attended the Charlottesville protests, so people supporting him are going to line up against the communists.

I may watch from a distance. Or make a shield I can set alight and throw like Captain America. Could go either way.

No because they would have fought to preserve the union and agreed that allegiance to the nation supersedes any allegiance to a state. It's a very consistent position.

That two people who helped to found a nation would have later been complicit in it's destruction is a much harder position to explain and defend. All you have, is that they were slave owners.

Soooooo...an Amendment ratified 3 years after the war ended would have been instrumental in precluding both of them from supporting their home states in legal succession from the union? Two men that fought against tyranny, and assisted in the creation of foundation documents that assigned more weight to states rights to govern themselves over a centralized governmental rule would not have been sympathetic to their home states. That's your position?

You need one of those long surgical tube type slingshots so you can launch water balloons from long range

Washington and Jefferson were very go with the flow type guys when it came to a large central government dictating policy to sovereign states. It would be crazy to think for one moment that they would break away from a governing institution they found oppressive.

People seem to forget that before the civil war it was the United States are, and after it was the United States is. The answer of the relationship between the federal government and the states was answered by the Civil War.

It's impossible to say what Washington or Jefferson would have thought of the Civil War, but it's hard to argue that they would have had more in common with northern industrialists than southern plantation-holders.
