So, if things continue to escalate in this country and we actually were to have a "civil war" what would we call it? The term civil war is not exclusive to the US and or the oppression of African Americans.

I guess this is just Americans in general though. It wouldn't surprise me if a good portion of our country thought we were the only country to have a civil war.

It will be called something with a nice hashtag. #ACW2

Going to be awkward for me if I get dragged into a civil war as the best "war" gun I have is a Nazi 8mm Gewehr 43 my dad picked up in June 1944 in Normandy. Was a medic and carried it as his personal rifle through the end of the year, they didn't like issuing him American guns. Would be weird to have it shooting at Americans again. :eek: I am also way too old for war so would probably just be dug in at home. Been fired at Canadians a few times since the war, moose sometime in the late '50's or 60's. ;)

From the land of sky blue water,

Comes the beer refreshing,

Comes the beer refreshing,

HHHAAAAMMMMSSSSSSSSSS



I long for the says when beer ads were targeting kids

Cigarette endorsements were done by smoking ballplayers and doctors

When we still debated if a wife secretly wanted her man to beat her

And 7-Up was a health drink for infants

The good good old days. Stick lead back in gasoline too

I truly miss candy cigarettes. And if you think beer ads targeting kids is bad, you should go to a pot dispensary and feast your eyes on the edibles that are mostly all variations on kids candy.

So a "no" on the chant?

What is “kids candy”? I just ate some M&Ms, a PB cup, and some gummy worms. I’m 38.
