View Full Version : Interesting map comparision Mr. Beelzebub 12-10-2004, 05:51 PM http://www.zearle.com/slave_red_map_w.jpg Very interesting. We all these talk about these elections dividing the country... It seems that we have never really been "one" country. Purity 12-10-2004, 06:11 PM people have different opinions. it's a given in any country that incorporates freedom. Fallout 12-10-2004, 06:39 PM people have different opinions. it's a given in any country that incorporates freedom. Ironic as a large majority of thoses states are for telling you what freedoms you can enjoy. HockeyFighter 12-10-2004, 06:46 PM It is true though that the differences that started even before the Civil War have never been erased. Alot of it actually stems from the post war era when the South needed to be rebuilt and the North treated them like a conquered nation rather than defeated rebels. They treated the south like a 3rd world country and held back the freedoms of it's citizens for many decades despite the North never having recognized the south as an independant nation. Take into account that it really has only been a limited number of generations since the war and stories are still passed down from parent to child as well as opinions. It's the same hear in Canada, the west has always been seperated from the east in political terms. handjobs4dollars 12-10-2004, 07:05 PM I love the west side of canada now. It kicks ass. Fallout 12-10-2004, 07:08 PM Vancouver isn't the west, at least in political terms anyway. handjobs4dollars 12-10-2004, 07:10 PM I live in northern B.C. Squezze 12-10-2004, 07:53 PM How is Vancouver not "The West"? Fallout 12-10-2004, 08:20 PM How is Vancouver not "The West"? Its much more liberal politicaly than say, Alberta. handjobs4dollars 12-10-2004, 08:42 PM All I have to say is **** ontario. I liked it when I was living there but now I see it sucks.

Sellout HockeyFighter 12-10-2004, 09:25 PM It's always interesting to not how provinces are so different in provincal and federal elections. In Federal elections BC, Alberta, Sask = Mostly conservative. In provincal elections BC = liberal, Alberta = Conservative, Sask = NDP. This proves that Sask is fuced up. They vote the most converative in one election and the most socialist in the other. I know it has alot to do with the seperation of provincal and federal politics in Canada which is not something that appears in the US but it is still interesting to note.

The same people in Ontario that gave us two years of Mike Harris are the same people that gave the liberals 3 majority goverments.
