Just got through reading the civil war thread. Just got me thinking, do you think this country will see another civil war in the near distant future? Say a hundred years or so? If so, what sort of thing would likely trigger it? Class warfare? Or, are most people too soft now days? Discuss....

I don't think it will ever be another war between the states. If it happens it will be more of a revolution IMO.

It will be a race war... call it civil if you wish.

I'd say that in ten years or less it's going to get bloody. Not exactly a civil war along the lines of the last one, but some sort of revolution that may be regional. Maybe both coasts against the middle.

Madiganistan, the state formerly known as Illinois, should be first to go--straight to hades. Then we move the UN to Haiti.

If it all comes down, I'm gonna put in a bid for the libertarians to get North Carolina,....mountains in the west,..ocean in the east,..and a very interesting transition between.
Yeah,...us libertarians will take North Carolina,..and the various political knothead factions can fight over the rest of it while we're hikin' and fishin'.

More likely that there will be a global fire drill before then that will sort the wheat from the chaff...most world/global war veterans have their fill of killing and dying by the time they get home.
It seems to me that those who are prepared/desire to kill the most, have not done so and a bit of experience tempers that willingness.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

too much social inertia. I can't see a Civil War taking place any time soon. Read "Enemies, Foreign and Domestic" by Matthew Bracken

Maybe both coasts against the middle. Never going to happen Today's average American is sackless. No will to stand up for anything. No morals, no values, no nothing. And if it is both coasts against the middle. The middle will win HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see fighting between areas geographic. we seem more separated than ever cause of race and politics. When it comes, it will be as nasty as it gets. Welfare people want it for free and working class are going to say you have enough. I predict flash mob robberies in the suberbs and country.

When {if} it happens it won't be the coasts against the middle, it will be country folks {conservatives} against city folks {socialists} and the country folks will kick some serious azz.
