Ohio historically tends to vote for the winning candidate. It wouldn't make sense to categorize it as either R or D.

knyte - are you from Ohio?

I'm from Ohio. We had to learn about he U.S. presidents "from" Ohio in school. We had three in a row. Someone shot the third one. So Ohio took a break after that.

8 presidents overall. 7 were republicans. One was from the whig party (I know, right!).

When I say "from" I mean it in the weakest possible sense.
- Banjamin Harrison was born in Ohio but really lived in Indiana.
- We stole W.H. Harrison from Virginia or something.
...it's a Harrison thing.

Kynte was from India, then California, then Texas, and is studying college at CMU.

It's on his profile if I remember correctly.

Generally, states aren't politically classified based on all 50-250 years of their history, since we've gone through multiple re-alignments.

Like most states, Ohio has historically voted Republican more than it has Democratic- as we've had more Republican presidents than Democratic ones. However, again, if we're discussing the political classification of states in any modern contexts, usually only the last decade's worth of presidential elections is considered.

If you adjust the timeframe, you can arrive at any result. Last two elections? Overwhelmingly Democratic. Last four? Split. In the 2000's? Overwhemingly Republican? (That said, the margin of victory was low each time- as you would expect from a swing state).

All Texan-born Presidents have been Democratic (LBJ; oddly enough, in our history books, we honestly don't really count the Bushes- I lived 5mi or so away from Bush 41 and we still didn't consider him a Texan). That does not make Texas a Democratic state. California's last President- Reagan- was a Republican- but California has been Democratic in the past few elections (supplying a very large portion of the Democrats' support and becoming the poster child for liberal economic and environmental policy) although California has historically voted Republican very often- just taking a short break during the first half of the Fifth Party System because party re-alignments are a thing and the Republicans and Democrats both shifted in the 1990s to the point it doesn't make sense to base states' political classifications based on pre-Bush 41 voting patterns.

Edit: Also I'd rather die from ebola than be from Ohio.

I think I caught your humor.
All Texan presidents were democratic?
You only have LBJ, Bush, and Bush... Dem, Rep, and Rep.

It sounds like someone is upset that the Bush family owns Texas.

Why am I being considered a terrible person? I leave the clan running to Cade because I gave him the clan leadership, and am focusing on gameplay.

Well we also had Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Kain. PLEASE MAKE THAT MAP!!! PLEASE!!!

@Scotty: LBJ is the only "true" Texan president since he's the only one who was born and bred Texan. Bush family's just a bunch of Yankee impostors. That's just the standard narrative.

That's the fun thing about Texas, the only native-born Texan president is the one everyone hates, and by everyone I mean just about everyone outside the liberal cores, just go find a map, select every region in texas that votes more than 80% democrat, and that's a liberal core if it isn't on the border to find them, which is kinda funny.

I liked the opening post just fine.
I liked Scotty's reply as well.

I'm sure I disagree with Wolf on a many things,

and the same probably is true with Scotty,

but it was a good thread while it lasted. :)

I will say this in Virginia's defense, Obama only won because of Fairfax and Arlington, which should have stayed in Washington DC




To the Conservative - Cade has and probably will not see this - MOST OF YOUR FORUMS ARE BETTER IN MAIL RATHER THEN STARTING AN ARGUMENT


in conclusion, just send this in a mail to cade

@Dr.Stupid - certainly I'd like to make such map but unfortunately I wontbuave time for this in the next weeks. Also it would be good if it was created bysomebody from USA...maybe ask Bane?

@Des, the portugese got here first, then Dutch AND German people came and became known as Boere. They are as different as Britons and Americans. The Afrikaaner people are innovative and while the Dutch were running from the French and Spanish the Afrikaaner people fought against the largest superpower the world had ever known. Farmers and boys the age of 10. 70 000 against 400 000 soldiers of probably one the greatest empires the world had ever known.

So tell me again about suck dick?

Also M'hunters aren't mouthy pricks. I never see them talking shit and I always see you talking shit Ben.

Ben, you're Latino? bullshit. You're not, Your name is Ben for fucks sake and you support Trump.

The Portuguese werent here first, but the Bushmen and other Khoisan people and then the Bantu people.


Btw, very nice thread derailing ahah

I know Koala thanks for that, but we were referring to Europeans. Des said it was the Dutch but they weren't the first Europeans. Also Koala it depends where in South Africa you're referring to. The khoi people were around the western Province while the Bantu people were abit further north in what is now known as the Eastern Province. So technically they were around at the same time in the same region if you include the whole of South Africa.

Interesting fact: xhosa, which is the tribe predominately in the Eastern Province comes from the khoi word for angry black man.

I think I will do another Fun South African fact where I go into demographics.

No Nogals, I meant about the Khoi that they were here even before the Bantu people, the Bantus colonized their lands even before the Europeans came.

So the first colonizers were the Bantus not the Portuguese nor the Dutch.

Oh so now someone who knows absolutely nothing about me or my family can tell me who I am

*Talking Shit*

General Chou are underrated
Mhunters probably overrated

Uh... what a surprise... despite the bootings the Master Hunters do better than a clan centered around their members having a profile picture of their pet. Come on... I mean... seriously?
