No, I'd say it'd be safe to say you're not liable to draw much enlightened discussion, not with an opening like that.
BTW, what's with all the Civil War threads lately?

Sometimes to draw people out of their shells, you must use an attractant of some type.
As far as War Against Southern Freedom threads are concerned, the current US government is using precedent set by the Union Army in 1861-65 in their ruthless pursuit of the war in Iraq, and other less obvious activities, so it's germaine to our lives today.
gigantic wasn't posting in seriousness, which I suspected and why I didn't respond in the thread in which he originally posted since he was completely off topic.
I gave him a chance to put forth serious debate, which he was unable or unwilling to do.
There are several joke threads he could post in, of couse, but he doesn't want to do that either.
But, it was too important for him to post something rather than to just sit by quietly and learn, too bad.
