The Vikings are going to start a Civil War? Let me get my axe!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
He also claims that "black family values" and "white family values" are very different things. Them blacks want all the white stuff for their very own. Or so he says.
My brother asked me why I'm FB friends with him. I said for the diversity. I can't have everyone agree with me -- that's boring as hell. He agreed and said that I have a very diverse set of friends and that he admired me for it. All in all, it made for a nice moment with my brother.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Mosque? Vikings? CIVIL WAR WTF?!?"
I kinda want to hook him up with my one vaccine-conspiracy-theory-loving Rand-Paul-supporting school friend. But even moved away and turned... interesting, she's too much of a New Yorker at heart to put up with that shit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yeah. From the south over here, and the civil war? It was about slavery. You can talk around it all you want. States rights...to let people own other people. Economics...like the economic advantage you get when you have unpaid labor in the form of slaves. It's not damaging or insulting to my heritage to say so either.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think the nuance is that slavery was not just about morality but about money. So the war was not necessarily because the great northern people wanted to rescue the poor enslaved black people, but also because of money.

I just quoted the SC Articles of Secession at him. "Slave" is mentioned a number of times.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, there were lots of issues going into the Civil War, but just about all of those issues were issues because of slavery.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
