If you could kick a State out of the Union.....

[Hugo Chavez]

Which State would you kick out?  Feel free to say why if you want or not....


I'll start with Florida... major fuckups with almost everything they do and I hate fuckups having a major say on the national level.

[Soul Crusher]

California. 

[Hugo Chavez]

California. 

California would be my second choice followed by NY.

My state sucks too.

oh shit, I forgot about that... you're from NY...  yea.. that's gotta suck knowing your vote won't matter.

Hmmm. Tough question.

There are so many southern states that are absolutely oppressive to minorities.

When I was training at Fort Jackson, SC, there was actually a building (on an army base no less) named for Strom Thurmond. The man was an ardent segragationist at one point.

Arizona, as well, is a state that I find personally offensive. It seems like it takes them decades to get on the same page as the rest of the country with anything.

You mean Central and North Florida.

South FL doesn't have near as many shit pies to eat as the rest of the state.  Once you get north of West Palm Beach it becomes the shits.

California, hopefully the SA fault breaks and they float away.
Then,
NY city. Id cordone them off with a huge wall and make them their own country.

Delaware.  Thats right.  fookin' Delaware.  They were the 3rd highest receipient in total federal money granted behind Alaska and Wyoming.  Alaska and Wyoming get passes due to strategic location, mass, and the fact they are relatively sparsely populated...Delaware received more health and human services per capita than any other state by a mile.

LOL, thats my home state. And yes, the massive influx of Californians and the retarded wannabe Californian government is terribad. They try way too hard to be California.
Not to mention the idiot Californians that actually fled to Washington started voting in the same retarded laws that bankrupted their state and caused them to flee.
The Wa government ACTUALLY ran TV ads encouraging Californians to come to WA!

Makes me upset.

[Straw Man]

California sends more money to the federal government than we get back in return so it wouldn't make much economic sense to kick us out of the union

It would make much more sense to kick out welfare queen red states who costs us all more money.   I'd start with any state that doesn't have good access to contraception and abortion services because we know over time that those states will just cost us more and more money over time

Yes, there are so many states oppressive to minorities, the entire United States should kick itself out of its own union. You should pass a petition around your "male only" barracks to get the movement started.  Former KKK member and Democratic party icon Robert Byrd has a plethora of things named after him in his home state of WV.

I beg to differ. The Tampa Bay area, the Spacecoast, and Duval County are great places to live.

I would actually admit Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Isand, The North Mariana Islands, and Samoa into the Union....long time overdue

I was not referring to where to live in FL.

I have a condo in St Pete that is a five minute walk to the Pier.  Great area.  But again, my post was not referring to a lifestyle or family setting.

Why on earth would the United States want to make any of those places part of the Union?

And while you're at it, what possible benefit would result for the collective citizenry by making Puerto Rico a state?

[Skeletor]

Texas.

[Shockwave]

Texas.

What?
I love Texas, and Ive spent the majority of my life in Washington.

I used to live on 9th/MLK Street and 22nd Avenue, near Bartlett Park. My old grade/middle school is just a few blocks from Boca Ciega.

Of course, if you're going to live in south St. Pete, Pinellas Point is the best spot (where I lived, during my college years).

Because the are all U.S Territories and everyone that is born there are U.S citizens.  They are under all the obligations and command of the POTUS but they get absolutely no say in the election process.  They should all be admitted to the Union especially Puerto Rico....they have been a U.S territory for over a 100 years yet Hawaii is admitted?

Hands down - New Jersey.

Biggest shithole in union.

FL, TX, and CA I usually have good time when visiting.
