ANSWER THE QUESTION OR I HIT YOU WITH CAT TAIL. hehe.

Canada.

France

Puerto Rico

It is most likely Puerto Rico. There has been a movement there to join but not by all.

My conspiricy theory point of view: Iraq/Syria/Iran
(Don't take that seriously)
My Real point of view: How the hell should I know? I do know for a fact that it won't be Puerto Rico. They are American citizens, yet don't have to pay taxes. How awesome is that!
EDIT: Some state will probally split away from another state. Probally Texas. I was thinking California, but they have tree huggers everywhere, not just in the middle.

Communist Texas?

puerto rico wont be a 51st us state, that means they will have to pay us taxes and listen to our government. as it stands right now they are a money sinkhole and do what they please with american citizenship, meannig they can come and go from america without a passport

Australia...well maybe after Britain. So theres my "gay" answer. What a clever person you must be to use that word as degrading :)

Well, then who? I answered Puerto Rico because it is the most likely to become the next state. What is a better option?

I would say Canada, but Bush (or any other Republican) won't make us a state. We'd vote Democrat every time.

US to annex Hell

WASHINGTON, DC - President Bush announced today that american forces will be invading Hell to annex it and then make it a state. Or as president Bush said, "Hell will be invaded fire and brimstone won't be stoppin' us yee-haw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

France has defended Hell, declaring that there is no evidence that Lucifer is evil. Critics have lambasted France for merely defending its long-time ally.

"I have never," Chirac said, "in my life ever made a deal with the devil. Heck, we outlawed all signs of religion in France already!"

The Pope also commented on this invasion: "Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." He then proceeded to fart, drool, and then fart again. No further comments could be derived from papal advisors.

The first wave of one zillion bajillion American soldiers and five soldiers from a "Coalition of the Killing" (from such prestigious countries such as: the Solomon Islands and Malawi) will be arriving in Hell some time tomorrow. When reporters questioned President Bush on his plan for invasion, the President replied, "God is guiding me."

In an interview later that night, God denied these charges that he was asssisting America. "Heaven has never supported America. Not even during WWII. We supported Hitler. But that's a completely different matter."

Analysists later discovered that the so-called "God" was just a man dressed in a toga with some shaving cream on his face. Poland has been blamed.

I farted yesterday.

I'm just saying that anyone who can use the words Canada, eating poo, tanks, and Dick Cheney's scrotum in the same sentence has to be really smart or really stupid.

Well, when you put it that way... ;) :fluffle: :sniper: :mp5: :fluffle:

I voted Other because I wanted to explore the possibility of space colonies. President Bush has been big on the exploration of Mars recently, and scientists just announced they believe they can use global warming to terraform the surface of Mars... I personally think that may be a little far fetched but I'm always open to enterprising scientific ideas. It requires the export of a lot of our greenhouse-causing chemicals such as CFCs. Any thoughts?

France.

Then again, can the USA have states after the western world is a nuclear wasteland?

Other for no other country would want to be a state of the US .. besides.. were fucked up enopugh trying to govern Hawaii and Alaska already since they pretty much govern themselves on everything.

Iraqachusetts.

It will definitely be cuba, then they'll build a bridge from miami.

I object to the use of the word "gay" as derogatory and find it deeply offensive.

No.

The word "gay" is not offensive. Using it as a derogatory expression is offensive.

They won't make any more states because 50 is a nice round number.

Instead, Oregon, Washington, and parts of California will split off, join British Columbia, and become the Green-Anarchist state of Cascadia.

By the way, as to gay as an insult: you brought it upon yourselves. Y'know why lesbian is never used as an insult? Because lesbians are cool. Gays aren't. Get over it.

So would saying stupid be offensive to stupid people?

It isn't used as an insult because the people stupid enough to use such things as insults don't see lesbians (or women) as a threat and belittle them by absenting them. Oh, and by the by, lesbians ARE gay. Gay = homosexual.

And, no I will not get over it. As I will not get over people using "******" or "spick" or "gook" or any other similar expression as an insult.

Okay, take the PCness to another thread okay?

Antarctica :D

So would saying stupid be offensive to stupid people?

You tell me - do you find it offensive?

Antarctica :D

The penguins will revolt! Long live penguonia!

And New Genoa is right. Let's not debate about insulting people, let's debate about annexing stuff. Make another thread if you want to talk about political correctness. I'll be there.

Antarctica :D

Only Europeans and South Americans are stupid enough to lay claim to Antarctica. America only lays claim to the moon.

Do we have to get another state? I mean, we're pretty lucky to end up with a number that sounds so good. I mean, "The 50 American states!" That sounds like something official. That's why there's 10 commandments. 9 commandments and 11 commantments doesn't have that sort of zing. Not like, "The 32 Mexican districts!" or "The 10 Canadian Provinces and 3 Territories". 51 just doesn't sound official. It sounds incomplete.

Would annexing nine more states remedy this problem?

Why stop at 100? 1000!

ANSWER THE QUESTION OR I HIT YOU WITH CAT TAIL. hehe.
Actually I am glad to see that I was not alone by posting other.

The US has hit the maximum number of States at 50.

I proclaim that in the future, the number will actually go down, either through amalgamation, civil war or outright ceding from the union.

Are you insinuating something? *nudge-nudge*

I think that Luxembourg will be the next state. Because Luxembourg is just damned cool. Heck, if I were the US, I'd pull out of Iraq and all those other countries right now, and put everything I had into getting control of Luxembourg. Luxembourg kicks serious ass.

God save our Luxembourg something something,
Something something soooomething something,
God save Luxembourg.

Yeah.

As for a serious answer, there probably won't be a 51st state. Judging by the fact that some people from Cornwall are asking for independence from England, the number could in fact go down if this sort of idiocy is rife across the globe.

Iraqachusetts.
Bless you!!

Are you insinuating something? *nudge-nudge*
No I am NOT gay. :eek:

No I am NOT gay. :eek:

Not what I was hinting, but if you're feeling curious..

This is ooooooooooooooone intelligent conversation.


Luxembourg sounds like a good idea, in all reality.

Puerto Rico. It has the biggest and most dynamic economy of the Carribean, and has a large and growing pro-statehood movement. Even their mostly Spanish speaking population will be of no problem anymore, as there are plenty of Hispanics (especially Puerto Ricans) in the US. Guam will be next, but I wish it would first intergrate with the North Mariana Islands, which is a commonwealth.

Mmmh... Mexico has states, not districts. And 77 sounds good too.

Mmmh... Mexico has states, not districts. And 77 sounds good too.Why'd I think it was districts? Hmm...

Puert Rico after West Virginia loses its statehoodness and the Phillipines gets theirs.

Im a firm believer in Bye-Bye Secesionist-secesionists

The number will go down to 48 after Texas and Hawaii revolt and get their independence. Although I dont see why Texas would need it as Texans control the country already. Anyhow, just try and face a Texan revolt!

Why'd I think it was districts? Hmm...
I don't know. Actually it's 31 states plus the Federal District, which is like DC.

Anyway, I was thinking, the 10 Canadian provinces, plus Mexico's 32 states, that's 42 states, plus the 20 "blue" states, that makes 52; minus Alberta, Jalisco and Puebla, that still leaves 49 left leaning states.

And with about 300 million people of a total population of 450 million, the new US politics would definitely be far more liberal. So, I say yeah! let's do it! whoohoo!

Fine by me, I love cats. Have a ten year-old named Jasmine that seems to speak english, a few times anyway :D. She sounded like she told my mom and me no a couple times, and yes the other two times when she was nine.
Vergine Islands is all mine! None for you, people who vote differently :)

We need to annex Canada, Iraq, and Afghanistan. That way, we can absorb extreme lefties (Canda) with extreme right-ies (Afghanistan, Iraq) thus increasing our power and wealth without drastically changing our political makeup. And they would be named thus: Canadachussettes, Iraxas, and Afghanabama.

Being a homophobe is pretty "gay" too.

None. 50 is a nice round number, and none of 'em wanna join.

What? How? Wait a minute, this is a comment regarding my fervent anti-sex beliefs, isn't it?

In reference to your poll choice, "Some state will carve itself up (East Virginia)", see US Constitution, Article IV, Section 3:

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

I think if the US were to add states, it should add 2, to make 52 - a deck of cards. :p

Texas BIYVH WE WILL BE INDEPENDENT! Not to ,emyopm we got the right to seprate into five states. Fuck you/.!

quebec

or if im lucky north alabamians will get smart and seperate from south alabama.

we will actually be higher than the bottom on every single survery done

UGHHH. I HATE ALABAMA, NEVER MOVE HERE. TOO MANY DAMN REPUBLICANS

The queers stole the word gay from us none queers. They also stole the rainbow from us. I myself call them queers or homos. They also stole fag from the ciggeratte people. I havent heard someone use fag in that way in a long time. So i think they should be called homos or queers.

Being a homophobe is pretty "gay" too.

If you think using the word "gay" to mean "lame" is homophobic, then perhaps you should leave.

Iraq is a colony for it's resources next state will be Poland, the US sponsored EU moneygrabbing sabotage pigs.

How is it possible no one has voted for the most obvious choice? Washington D.C.

Alberta (a province of Canada.) They'll get sick of all their oil revenues being shipped off to other provinces and all the other stuff they have to put up with.

Australia. :(

Meh, then they'll get sick about their revenue being sent to all the other states, and will complain even more because as a state of the US they will have even less representation than they have in the Canadian parlament right now.

Is becoming a state in the US a simmilar affair to becoming a member of the EU (I would imagine it would be much harder but I may be wrong). Does the US just consider itself a coalition of various nations that by themselves have soveringty if they want it and have chosen to submit to a central authority?

I'm not an expert, but I think that it's easier. All that's needed is for the state to solicit and Congress to approve. That's it.

The US started considering itself a coalition of separate nations, states, just as you describe it. The only purpose of the union was common defense, internal economy and trade, and foreign relations. But as time went by the central authority became stronger and stronger, taking many roles previously reserved to the states, and more taxes.

Now, the collection of states is very far from loosely connected, although it's still far from being a centralized republic.

Australia...well maybe after Britain. So theres my "gay" answer. What a clever person you must be to use that word as degrading :)

From the 1960 edition of the Oxford School Dictionary:
gay, a. light-hearted, cheerful; lively. [F.]
Obviously it was the 'light-hearted' answer.
