If you had a choice what province/state/region would you kick out of your country/or any country if given the chance...


I would personnaly kick Texas out of The USA....
Or Kick wales out of the UK just to see what they would do....

My own. Alabama.

Or perhaps Texas, it thinks it's its own country anyway.

Texas, gone!

North Carolina is the worst state I have ever lived in
*Sends it packing*

Pennsylvania but I'm biased. :upyours:

I take it your not an Eagles fan.

okay maybe I should ask why?, why would you want those states gone...

okay maybe I should ask why?, why would you want those states gone...

I said Texas! Do you really need a reason for Texas?

Mississippi. The reasons are self evident.

I said Texas! Do you really need a reason for Texas?
well, I want texas gone because they are making us look bad, plus they would be free to invade mexico....

Texas. I hate this place with a passion. A lot of idiots here thing it's God's Paradise or something, should still be its own nation, etc. It has one of the worst education systems in the US, the drivers are the worst I've ever encountered, I can't stand the East Texas accents. The highway system is terrible. Being governor of Texas is actually pretty much a figurehead position, and the legislation meets for only a few months out of the year to plan..poorly, I might add. *twitches* The only place in Texas I've ever been to that I like is Austin.

okay maybe I should ask why?, why would you want those states gone...
Because I hate Alabama. Die, Alabama, die! And I gave my reason for Texas.

your the governor of texas? wow I remember seeing you on tv!!! you have some problems...

If I had to kick out a state, I'd soooo kick denial out of the world.

My own. Alabama.

Or perhaps Texas, it thinks it's its own country anyway.
I was gonna say Alabama (or South alabama, make it its own state and boot it), then I realized Texas: too big and too far rightwing conservative to be of any good to anyone.

I'd kick out Rode Island, probably because they say they call themselves an island but they aren't.

If I had to kick out a state, I'd soooo kick denial out of the world.

lol

nah compasion, get rid of that...
denial is what keeps our economy going...

I'd kick out Rode Island, probably because they say they call themselves an island but they aren't.

no we are an island. I live on rhode island... the states name is RHode island and providence plantations, now the providence platations parT? yeah screw em...

Montanta... Hermits and weirdos (Ted Kaczinski), mad cow disease, and I can't think of anything else that's there. They have had a higher amount of hermit freaks than just about anywhere else.

well, I want texas gone because they are making us look bad, plus they would be free to invade mexico....

Oh, I just wanted them gone cause they are idiots and that is where Bush is from..lol

I would have to kick out "The state of independence". Damn you Saab. I hate your commercials and I hate your snobby cars. Go suck tailpipe.

Quebec out of Canada!!!!!

Quebec out of Canada!!!!!
but that would mean that we would have a french speaking nation in north America!!!, unless we invade them and make them learn latin(why not we need to bring it back anyway)

Rio de Janeiro (State) out of Brazil. Colombia or Venezuela can have it.

Rio de Janeiro (State) out of Brazil. Colombia or Venezuela can have it.
why?

Cornish Independence! :p

Cornish Independence! :p
lol!

I would want to kick Massachusetts out of the Union! :D

i would get rid of texas!!!!

i mean c'mon they think they are better than all of us becuase they are from texas. When they say i'm from texas what the hell does that suppose to mean?

I would want to kick Massachusetts out of the Union! :D

How did I know? ;)

I would kick out Florida. That will save the US a lot of money on disaster relief and botched elections.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard someone say something good about Austin...everyone I meet says they hate Austin...talk about there being a lot of gay people and that it's too liberal.

God's Paradise? I think not...there are too many a**holes here...

We aren't all idiots.

The average Texan is stupid, I'll give you that.

How are we making everyone look bad? I guess I'm blind to it...

Let's kick the conservatives out of Texas...then the four people who are left can have the whole state to themselves...I call everything north and east of San Antonio

Wow, people talk about the world resenting the US, but I'm sensing a lot of unresolved hostility in the US toward Texas...

well in soviet russia Noun Verbs you!

Common misconception..Bush isn't from Texas. It's something he took advantage of for politics, the fact that he lived here for a while. And trust me, he did just about jack shit while Governor.

lol, I'm rather liberal. I love the ecclectic feel of Austin. Just give me Austin, if you're gonna divide up the state.

yeah bush was born in connecticut..... he was born in new england but it didn't take, he turned to the dark side of america.... whatever that means....

The entire Deep South.

The entire Deep South.
but then they would be their own nation!!!! think of it.... no one to hold them back... bye bye mexico, and cuba, and south america, and probably canada!!!

The entire Deep South.

Seconded.

He was born in connecticut? Why the f*ck did he come here?

Where's that angel from It's A Wonderful Life, if he's listening:

I wish George W. Bush had never been born.

EDIT:Texas isn't the Deep South.

I would want to kick Massachusetts out of the Union! :D

Predictable.

Would be a tossup between Florida and Texas - both have been polluted by Bushes.

I'm not surprised by all the Texas answers, but I'm going to go with Alabama. It's worse than redneck, it's full of white, Christian, racist guys who work in suits and do jack shit for society.

-edit- they're like white collar rednecks.

You can give us Alaska, Maine and Vermont. We would make good use of it.

no if anything we will just annex canada!, I see that happening very very soon...

I don't think so. Those three aren't half bad. How about you take Montana and the Dakotas off our hands...

Mt. Rushmore will bring in the tourists. ;)

The entire Deep South.

We didn't want to come back in the first place. :D

We didn't want to come back in the first place. :D
Its our house and we decide the rules!!!!!, sure sure you can run away but you would just be coming back to us after realizing the world is much harder than you think!!, you will be on the street corner begging for money!!!

The world isn't that hard! And we wouldn't be paying for your silly war in Iraq! HA!

;)

*cough* Must I remind you that if the deep south wasn't here bush wouldn't be president and thus no iraq war *cough*

Also the world is hard.. germany and france are bullies.... they will take your lunch subsidies away!

I don't think so. Those three aren't half bad. How about you take Montana and the Dakotas off our hands...

Keep your trash off my land! :gundge:

Point of Order: Texas isn't the a part of the south, GWB wasn't born there, he's From Mass or Conneticut or something. Blame the Yankees! :D

Germany and France dislike the USA. They wouldn't hate us, we're not in the USA anymore. :)

Texas. They wanted to be their own country anyway, lots of bad comes outta there, and they're ruining Alaska.

Your the part of the USA they HATE!!!!, not you personally but the ultra conservative red-neck and we don't have many up here!

I'd get rid of Mississippi. Hopefully with all the stupid people gone the US collective IQ will rise a bit.

South Carolina.

Do I really need to give a reason for this?

Texas. They think the world revolves around them, that if it's not from there, it's crap, and are just all around conceited, especially when they come up here to Colorado... Let's see how wonderful Texas is when it's struggling to keep afloat as a country :D

Your the part of the USA they HATE!!!!, not you personally but the ultra conservative red-neck and we don't have many up here!

Wouldn't there be more conservatives up there, seeing as how there are more people, and thus more electors? :D

Phew! I'm glad no one said Oklahoma. I mean really, would you just strand me here with the conservatives?! That would be very mean of you all. But no one said it, I can relax now...

Anyone has ever read the book "The nine nations of North America", by Joel Garreau? (The guy wrote this, back in 1981. The book's a bit old but still true. Garreau was a columnist at the Washington Post.)

http://www.online.masu.nodak.edu/divisions/hssdiv/meartz/online/intro_ninenations.htm

Queensland. Not everyone there is, but overall it's too conservative & racist for my liking.

I really want Ontario kicked out of Canada...that way we can show Canada that they need us to pay for their health care!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Throw Quebec out of Canada. Yup, we'd finally be free. And burn Alberta (it's like, you know, Texas in Canada, a bunch of dumb cowboys).

You posted this right on time. Did you know that june 24 is Quebec's national festival, St-Jean Baptiste's Day? It's like the 4th of July in the USA or the July 14 in France. And you surely know Quebec wants its independance from Canada. That's why June 24 has a certain political importance here in Quebec.

BUT, i'd have to agree that it would be nice for the US to get rid of Texas. If you did, would Bush still be able to be president? Is he FROM Texas? Anyway, you're still lucky in your badluck, cause he can't show up for a third term.

lol didn't they just repeal that?

HUGE party here tonight, dude!!!!!!
June 24, National holiday.
The streets are full of people...
Booze, bonfires, fireworks, music, flags, and all.

Alberta, I'm sick of hearing about 'western alienation'.

It's not that the rest of Canada ignores them, rather we just try to pretend that crazy shit (anyone remember Stockwell 'Doris' Day?) isn't coming out of there.

Illinois. I'd then take it over.

If I was still living there, I'd say Alaska.

Otherwise it's a tossup between Calafornia, New York and Massachusetts... But I think California is probably the most problamatic... Out it goes. :D

no if anything we will just annex canada!, I see that happening very very soon...

Yah, I see that happening soon, too. The US would probably invade Canada because we won't go along with their foreign policies like a good little wimp. (I won't mention the other countries that do.......)

you're from Quecbec aren't you and it's not just Alberta it's Manitoba and Saskatchwen too

hell we would gladly leave then we would be able to keep all oil and gas money Mahahahahaha, and you wouldn't have any other province that can Actually pay up for the equaliaztion payments for the other poor provinces (that all provinces expect Ontario), only so long as you take "King" Ralph Klein

California.

B

How did I know? ;)
I'll be damned. You tell me! :D

... I'm sensing a lot of unresolved hostility in the US toward Texas...
Nahh. You're just not getting the right-leaning crowd posting in this thread for some reason. Personally, the only hostility I feel toward any US state is reserved for Massachusetts. :D

Good. We hate you too.

Can I absorb one? I want Taiwan for China.

I'd say Texas. They practically have an army of their own, and they have enough population. It'd also keep the conservative jerks from annihalating the US.

Otherwise, I'd say my home state of California or Mississipi. Or Hawaii. I don't think Alaska could function on it's own.

in the UK I'd say Northern Ireland. The brits wanna get their hands clean of Ireland, and I think the population would support the idea.

I don't know much of Canada, but looking at people's replies, I'd say Alberta. Let the cowboys ruin their own countries.

Bush actually WAS born in connecticut. He moved to Texas to get in the oil business (where he bankrupted a company) and later became governor of Texas, where he promptly polluted the state and... well, a lot like he's doin' with the US now. Except now he has control of the military... dang, we're screwed...

this is kinda off topic, but the most common comparison when you are making similes about people you don't like is whoever to hitler. The Repubs do it, the Dems do it... every does it. I dunno how the Germans feel about it...

you're from Quecbec aren't you and it's not just Alberta it's Manitoba and Saskatchwen too

Ontario, actually. ;)

And Ralph Klein is your problem.

If I was still living there, I'd say Alaska.

Otherwise it's a tossup between Calafornia, New York and Massachusetts... But I think California is probably the most problamatic... Out it goes. :D
Arnold Swarzenneger, President of California? :eek:

eh... I wouldn't wanna absorb anyone.

50 states is all I can memorize :D

If you wanna memorize all of Russia's oblasts and stuff...

Good. We hate you too.
Kewl! I am now hated by an entire State! Wow! :D

If I had my way, California would be gone! The land of flakes, fruits and nuts would be toast...

Kewl! I am now hated by an entire State! Wow! :D

I'm almost certain that it's more than just this state.

Arnold Swarzenneger, President of California? :eek:

#^%@ :headbang:

If I had my way, California would be gone! The land of flakes, fruits and nuts would be toast...

and much of the US' economy would also be gone, gone with the wind :p

and where would you be without the city of angels...

North Dakota, every other state contributes in some way shape or form and has its own culture except for this wasteland.

I'm almost certain that it's more than just this state.
ROFLMAO!!! Only you, S., only you. :D

Hehehe! :D

It's really too bad that we can't just excise Hollywierd, kinda like doctors excise a boil. :D

Yeah, that's great. You think I'm joking, don't you?

Yeah, that's great. You think I'm joking, don't you?
Frankly? ( shrug ) :p

Hmm....I would kick out California.

Hawaii would be cool. We'd lose another blue state, though. they could be kinda like Micronesia, and their main industry could be tourism! :eek: it all works!

Hmm....I would kick out California.

feel my wrath! :mp5:

Howbout all the blue states: :(
and the red states: :mad:
seperate? :D

civil war! :mp5: :mp5: :mp5:

Not gone, but, I'd sure love to see mandatory independence! We'd save billions just on the 99% reduction of whining and crying. Child Molesters would flock for passports to Meca! Arnold could be president of something! Oh this has promise.

I want my state to secede. :sniper:

Na, Hawaii can be reformed. It's only been driven to total shit in the past 20 years.

Well, I already pretend Wyoming doesn't exist already in real life.

I want my state to secede. :sniper:

Couldn't possibly be Texas, could it?

For Canada: Saskatchewan. Like really, there's nothing there worth keeping...it's just flat nothing between Manitoba and Alberta...and their name is too damn long. :rolleyes:

Maybe if you changed its name to "Flat".

Couldn't possibly be Texas, could it?

No, Maine. I figure we're already half Canadian anyway, so why not? I used to live in Texas, and I sure wouldn't cry to see them go.

Well, I already pretend Wyoming doesn't exist already in real life.

Lol, I agree.

Wyoming should go. It's like amputating a over-damaged limb.

Do what you can to save the whole, not the part.

Isn't Wyoming, like, the Empty Space State or something?

Lol, I agree.

Wyoming should go. It's like amputating a over-damaged limb.

I mean really, have you ever MET someone from Wyoming?
Ever BEEN to Wyoming?

It's the last state in alphabetical order, no one would remember it. They never find it on internet drop-down lists!

For Canada: Saskatchewan. Like really, there's nothing there worth keeping...it's just flat nothing between Manitoba and Alberta...and their name is too damn long.
Let's rename the province "Chewie" (a cute name) and move some mountains from BC to Chewie. BC has plenty of them to share.

TEXAS! :D



Seriously, Texas was independent before anyways, so they won't mind being on their own, heck, they could even be our trading partner. ;)


One great thing about getting rid of Texas....Removing LOTS of guaranteed Electoral Votes from the Republican Party :cool:

I know. Where are all the Wyomians?

They're probably holed up in Wyoming somewhere, waiting to strike out and take over the world. *shifty eyes*

I always figured that those Mid West states were no good.

Massachusetts, two reasons: 1, because no one outside of state citizens in it (and only 25% of them) can actually spell it without 10 minutes of practice time, and 2, as a punishment for putting Dukakis, Teddy Kennedy and Kerry out on us, the entire state has proven themselves to be insurgents with an agenda to do such a thing (does anyone really think that candidates like those three can happen by accident?) :eek:



:p :D

Maryland. Maryland sucks. It's that simple. If I could pave it and turn it into the world's largest parking lot/solar powered grill I would.

TEXAS! :D

We covered this. I'm kicking the conservatives out. Me and the other three liberal like people will divide it all up. I've called my section already.

California. That way, when it falls into the Pacific, we don't have to worry about its inhabitants. Hell, we would also effectually free ourselves from the moronic actors and actresses of Hollywood.

Hey, don't hate me. I'm just trying to think of what's best for the economy, my blood pressure, and the national IQ. Getting rid of a southern state might help out in the third category, but California's the only state that's going to help me on all three.

Well considering we are the 5th/6th largest economy in the world, we doubt it'll work economically.

We have the highest population, so obviously we get more idiots. But we also get more smart people.

Your blood pressure, eh, I can't help that. :)

Well considering we are the 5th/6th largest economy in the world, we doubt it'll work economically.

Not per capita, per capita it's probably not even in the top ten U.S. states, and most U.S. states hover around the same amount until the top ten, so being twelfth instead of thirtieth isn't an extraordinary accomplishment - of course its total GDP is high, because, as you so clearly explained, you have the highest population.

We have the highest population, so obviously we get more idiots. But we also get more smart people.

... that's a bad rule. Texas has a bunch of people - do you think they get more smart people? I rest my case.

Your blood pressure, eh, I can't help that. :)

Yes, you can - simply join me in my mission to remove California from the U.S. :)

We covered this. I'm kicking the conservatives out. Me and the other three liberal like people will divide it all up. I've called my section already.

And I call Austin..All I really care about. And any leftover territory.

LOL, what the hell? Did I just get, erm, cyberbitten?

Indeed you did. I'd get that looked at. No one knows where Colodia's been, y'know.

i would say california partly because im in it.

California is way better off without the rest of America. read this u dont know what im talking about

But we also get more smart people.
Oh? Where are they? Silicone Valley? :D

Seems to be a lot of Texas hate. Ya’ll should come down here. Nicest places I’ve ever been.

If I could decide such things, I would make the city of Wellington, Florida its own state, then kick it out of the Union, then declare war, and then precede to carpet bomb it into oblivion.

Why Wellington??? :confused:

new jersey...the only purpose it seems to have is causing traffic jams that make it harder for me to get from home on Long Island to school in Gettysburg.

Why Wellington??? :confused:

You ever been there? A bunch of spoiled, polo playing, plastic surgery having, cretins, who basically let their kids run amok. I had the misfortune of spending my elementary and middle school years there. Its basically just a bunch of awful human beings who managed to make me feel like crap all the time. Bah, whatever. I wasn’t serious. There was a few nice people, I suppose.

I'd start with Texas, without a doubt!

I suspect all of this falls into the category of "One man's paradise is another man's hell." :)

But that's a bad thing :(

I suspect all of this falls into the category of "One man's paradise is another man's hell." :)

Damn you, sir, and your logic. *Shakes fist* You'll rue the day..Dude, a shiny!*takes it, runs off*

But that's a bad thing

Definitely. Besides, I like being part of the US of A. The Texas pledge is just blech.

I see a lot of people are complaining about Texas... We've got a state similar to it, only worse: Bavaria. Consider a Texas that is geographically the largest state, hasn't had a non-conservative state government since the republic was founded, and actually has its own conservative party!
The big German conservative party, the CDU (Christian Democrats Union) has a Bavarian sister party just for the "Freistaat", the CSU (Christian Socialist Union). They both have equal say in national elections, and sometimes the CSU has more.
Another interesting aspect that while neo-nazis run for local elections in the rest of Germany, they aren't represented in Bavaria, which has the Bavaria Party advocating that Bavaria become its own state in the EU (it already has a more luxurious "consulate" in Brussels than the Federal Republic).

I can't say as I'm the best one to weigh in on Tex-Ass. My ex-fiancee is from San Marcos. Whatta shithole. She knew that I was a teacher and still kept on droning on about building a house from scratch and a Lexus hardtop convertible. 'Course I will admit that I was in the throes of confusing amazing sex for love because it was the first time for the former and only the third time for the latter in my life. To her credit, she served as a damn fine nonexample.

Now, I LOVED the food in Tex-Ass. THE best barbecue and THE best Mexican variants you'll ever have, hands down. Shiner Bock is a pretty good macrobrew, too. San Antonio was nice to visit, as was Austin. Houston was a sweating, polluted pit and Galveston, though lovely and full of interesting architecture and history happens to reside next to one of the most revolting bodies of water I've ever laid eyes on. Y'all get some ridiculous hailstorms out there, too. Passing through College Station, we got hit by what I first thought was a rain of artillery fire. Also, the freeways were amazing. Frontage roads running the length of them, making access a breeze. Nothing like the asphalt abortions we have here in the Lesser Seattle area.

But aside from the food and roads, y'all can keep Tex-Ass and their overinflated history, Bubbas, egoes and livers. As I was fond of saying when I returned to reality from Tex-Ass:

Tuck Fexas.

Come to think of it, though. I think booting Tex-Ass out of the Union would be a plus for the USA. Here's how. We cut 'em loose, and then they can go do all kinds of stuff the USA couldn't pull off in the face of international scrutiny. Like invading Cuba. They send in their units and when the UN makes a fuss, you send Bubba into the Security Council complete with cowboy hat, belt buckle and Toby Keith t-shirt and have him say somethin' like:

"Shee-it, man, we didn't know ya couldn't do that!"

We could bankroll Tex-Ass as our hired thugs (instead of just having it seem that way). Interesting possibilities.

Oh -- and to save money on redesigning the US flag, we admit Iraq as the new 50th state. God knows we've spent more money there than in any single state here that needs it.

I'd start with Texas, without a doubt!

*gunshot*

:D Delaware coz i feel like it

Being a Canadian, I can't really say I'd 'kick' any state out... but I would welcome the US to join Canada... we could develop a new nation and undo the brainwashing borne of 100 years of post industrialist revolutionary propganda. Im sure theres a balance in between the two systems that would work better than the current (though Im in favour of leaning a little more to the Canadian side on most issues)

Then we could take the majority of current politicians and drown them like the rats that they are.

Of course, later on we would have to deal with the bigots...

*waits for insolence*

I do not think that the U.S. should give up any state. Including Texas. Texas has a few good colleges, especially schools good at engineering (Texas A & M, University of Texas in Austen, Rice). As well Texas Instruments is a corporation that is useful, I believe that if I remember correctly they helped design the first smart bombs. The simple fact is that most Texans view themselves as Americans first. To lose Texas would be a great loss to the United States.

Hmm, The United States and Provinces of North America. Whatever, stay out of my private life and keep stuff from getting blown up, and I couldn't care less.

*waits for insolence*

To keep you from waiting, I shall oblige:
You dirty rotten Canadians are just a bunch of losers. You’re lucky we don’t nuke ya’ll and claim you as part of the USA. And your gay too.
Man, I hope you know I’m joking.

If there's a state that would benefit from being a postapocalyptic wasteland, it's gotta be Washington. Frickin' Seattle.

Well, I live in a good part of Texas. Away from the bible belt. In fact, ALL states that are in the bible belt need to have their citizens moved to the middle east and we can then begin the process of replacing them with Japanese school girls. Rawrr..

If you had a choice what province/state/region would you kick out of your country/or any country if given the chance...


I would personnaly kick Texas out of The USA....
Or Kick wales out of the UK just to see what they would do....

Massachusetts, they are blindly arrogant
Ontario, french thing
France, french thing
Togo, french thing

definitely Illinois... They don't follow rules there... (I am in Missouri) Or maybe we could wall it in and make the whole state into a prison.... hmmmmm

I can't think of any part of Ireland that I would like to get rid of. Maybe Cork, because they fancy themselves as their own country (The People's Republic of Cork! ha!).

In terms of American states, I would get rid of California, Texas and Florida. They cause the most trouble. But Florida makes oranges and California makes music and movies, and Texas makes...?

Good. We hate you too.
I don't think it's your fault. I think it's because John Kerry lives there!

It's really too bad that we can't just excise Hollywierd, kinda like doctors excise a boil.
I know they're all scientologists, but they're harmless things, bless 'em.

Either boot Mississippi or Alabama. I frankly don't much care for either state. The deep Southern accent gets on my nerves, and frankly, the fewer "value voters" we have in this country, the better. (Not to say that other states don't have their share of "value voters" as well, but Mississippi and Alabama strike me as hotbeds for such stupidity.)

At least Texas goes Republican for a decent reason - oil. And their boy Bush was on the ticket.

*sends West Virginia packing*

Allow me to finish that sentence for you:

…oil and natural gas. Not to mention tech products and NASA.

Virginia
Why?
I'm from Maryland, I have to say Virginia.

I'm bush like. I would just like to tell all of you that if I had to kick out a state it would be canada. I will sell it to make our economy go up. I mean we need it to go up right? So I am going to sell canada. I would also like to defend this place, which I'm pretty sure I'm from Texas. Texas is, is a good state you know. We execute retarted people. We even put a bill up, that was defeated by liberals to execute minors. Texas, everything is bigger in Texas. ALL HAIL BUSHANOMICS ALL HAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see a lot of people are complaining about Texas... We've got a state similar to it, only worse: Bavaria. Consider a Texas that is geographically the largest state, hasn't had a non-conservative state government since the republic was founded, and actually has its own conservative party!
That's funny. Bavarians have a reputation for being more friendly and open than most Germans, and every Bavarian I have met has been nice and liberal.

Connecticut or Massachusetts. Not only are they so small they aren't noticable, they really pissed me off when I was up there.

Allow me to finish that sentence for you:

…oil and natural gas. Not to mention tech products and NASA.
they don't "make" nasa, in fact most of the techs used in the programs are designed and made in either silicon vally or in the N.E. tech regions but I digress... no one can "make" nasa, they are based there however, nothing that buying a new headquaters won't fix...

If there's a state that would benefit from being a postapocalyptic wasteland, it's gotta be Washington. Frickin' Seattle.
Just turn King County into its own state, then excise it from the Union. Maybe then, the rest of Washington can have free and open elections that mean something... you know, elections that aren't utterly and completely rigged by the King County Democratic Machine.
(there's a district in Seattle where the majority of the registered voters have the elections office as their home mailing address... it's the same district that just put Queen Christine in the Governor's mansion.)

I'm almost certain that it's more than just this state.
And parts of Canada too!! j/k :)

I would kick out California for all the left-wing hippies and gays, it is just a really weird place.... And Texas is the best state in the world, I love it so very much and is just a grand place!

Actually, they give a good reason FOR keeping California

we should get rid of these states

Wyoming
Kentucky
Washington
Oregon
Idaho
Montana
Kansas
Mississippi
Alabama
Louisiana
And that separated north section of Michigan

I would have said Tennessee, but Nashville is there, and I like country music

Can I go again? I've already booted Cali but I wanna boot all the blue states too :(

Can I go again? I've already booted Cali but I wanna boot all the blue states too :(
Wow, I think that even the Democratic lap-dogs here didn't want to boot every red state.

I'm not surprised though, given that you want to see a pseudo-Christian dictatorship in America.

I know exactly 50 States that I would get rid off!

Massachusetts. Anything to rid of of those goddamn Kennedys and the memory of those goddamn Kennedys.

Honestly, I don’t think any state should be gotten rid of. We all contribute somehow. I give you Ben Franklin, in what many believe (they could be wrong) to be the first political cartoon:

http://library.thinkquest.org/22254/joindie.gif

Essentially, he was saying, that if we don’t stick together, we’re all pretty much doomed.

Illinois. I'd then take it over.

Would you like to help my friends and I? We were planning to do the same thing, and then donate it to Russia. I love my state, and that's why I want it out of the U.S.A.

Not per capita, per capita it's probably not even in the top ten U.S. states, and most U.S. states hover around the same amount until the top ten, so being twelfth instead of thirtieth isn't an extraordinary accomplishment - of course its total GDP is high, because, as you so clearly explained, you have the highest population.

California is in fact the 5th largest economy in the world!

Besides, it's been decided, Texas is being evicted! :p

Wow, that means that a lot of Federal mandates keeping Texas from developing its other resources will be out the window, and Texas might be able to actually have something of its own! (like, maybe the sixty-some percent of Texas that is currently under Federal control, not including military sites...)

But that's a bad thing :(

It's a dream. ;)

Besides, if Texas turns into hyper-conservative paradise then the whole far-right can move there. Texas can hang retarded children in public for stealing bread to feed their newly starving families and everyone else can have healthcare. Everyone wins. :fluffle:

Yeah, well before we kick out Texas we are going to loot it first. haha :D

Ihatevacations']then I realized Texas: too big and too far rightwing conservative to be of any good to anyone.
*falls over laughing*

Nobody outside Texas really realizes this...but the vast majority of Texans vote Democrat at the local level and for some state level positions, but tend to vote Republican at the national level.

Dollars to donuts that if the Democrats ran a moderate-to-slightly conservative Democrat for president, Texans would vote for him/her.

It's not as "far right wing conservative" as you think.

With all these states moving out to Canada...could Minnesota come with?

We're liberal, passive aggressive, and don't bother anyone. Really.

Hell, we're out there with Wyoming amongst the states half the US has never heard of.

Though, you might want to level Rochester. They have issues.

You can get the Twin Cities to help, though. :mp5:

Upper Michigan needs to become part of Wisconsin already.

Other than that, Texas, Flordia, and the exact location of GWB(sure, some of DC would have to go, but think of the benefits of getting rid of Bush!) need to be smited(smote?).

It wouldn't last long-without the entreprenuers, and with a significant portion of your working (as opposed to picking up a paycheck for slacking) class leaving for Texas, the U.S. would have the starvation problem. They'd have to invade to get the productive people back under their thumbs to pay for that healthcare ('cause you KNOW Bill Gates, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Kennedy won't) system.
Of course, the U.S. wouldn't probably have many guns, those being bad an' all, so the invasion idea would have to be done by the Non-congressional Criminal Class. I expect the Texan and Texas-immigrant forces could probably walk out of the conflict with the Four Corners area (Mormons won't moe again, they've got their place and they'd be as hard to roust out as the Israeils, for that matter, the Coloradans and Zonies would probably try to join the Texas republic rather than live eternally under the Socialist thumb. Plus the ranchers and other inhabitants of the rocky mountain states could tell California to piss off and get its own water...), most of Oklahoma, some of Kansas, and the better chunks of Arkansas and Lousy-ana ("Louisiana", misspelt because I had the misfortune of being Stationed there in the '90s.)

Freed of crippling poliicies out of the East Coast and Kaliforincation, the Southwest might be able to actually have something called "Long term prosperity" instead of periodic screwing - over they get from the feds now...

Now that’s a dream worth having. :D

Of course, I would like to think that could happen without splitting from the Union.

Now that’s a dream worth having. :D

Of course, I would like to think that could happen without splitting from the Union.

So would I. Do you remember the "10th Amendment" movement in the 1990's? States standing up to Federal domination, people questioning Federal power, and all the rest of it? DIED with the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City. It became difficult to criticize the Federal Government's power in and over the western states without being equated to that fuckhead McVeigh.

To all those people saying Massachusetts should go... would it be better if all the Kennedys just disappeared? Cause um... I don't want to deal with going through Customs every time I wanted to go 5 miles to my north.

Some more commentary by me...
- California would be a lot better without the celebrities. It can stay.
- Wyoming and all the other empty states in the upper Rockies/Midwest ... we need filler states in there
- Massachusetts may as well merge with the rest of New England. Although split Connecticut in two. Most of the south and west goes to New York, the northeast goes to New England. Feels like that anyway.
- Texas. Yeah, they're pretty much a country on it's own anyway.

I live in Connecticut, prefer Massachusetts better (even though I'm Republican and moderate). We don't want W Bush, and W Bush doesn't want us. That's why his boys at the Pentagon are getting the military bases moved to the South.

States that I'd remove:

--Southern California: We don't need them libs anyway. ;)
--Rhode Island: Is that even a state? It's so small I can't--oh there it is! ... Yeah, it needs to be kicked out... or merged with Connecticut or Massachusetts.
--Hawaii: It's out in the middle of nowhere! Do we really need it?
--Nevada: Sure, they've got the Grand Canyon..and Las Vegas...and top secret government bases...but aside from that, what have they given us? ;)

For the record, I can drive across Rhode Island in less than an hour. It's about 55 miles north to south. Maybe 30-40 miles east to west, 40 being towards the southern end where it widens out a little bit to the east.

However, it's not that bad. And it does seem like it takes a while to get from anywhere to Providence cause there's nothing outside the 295 loop.

REMOVE HAWAII? Come on that is a big tourist attraction and has some historical significance for our nation. It is where Pearl Harbor is or happened or however you look at it. Americans from the mainland love going to hawaii and to send it out of our nation would weaken our nation immensely due to losses from tourism to hawaii and because people would no longer have a place where it is as practical to relax as hawaii.

Alabama, what a waste of space. Either kick it out or cover it with Wal-Mart stores, no one would notice either way.

--Nevada: Sure, they've got the Grand Canyon..and Las Vegas...and top secret government bases...but aside from that, what have they given us? ;)
Um... while we fly lots of people there, the Grand Canyon isn't in Nevada, that's Arizona.

Besides, you want to keep us, we're the largest producer of gold in the nation and third in the world. AND we're the largest producer of kitty litter. Toss in Lake Tahoe and you have some good reasons to keep us. I'll be more than happy to let you get rid of Vegas though. ;)

Bah. The message is still true. Even if it was written by some peon lost in the annals of history.

It's a great message, but he wasn't the first Politikal Kartoonist.

Quebec out of Canada!!!!!
I second that motion. Hell, they want out anyway and they suck money and attention away from people who need it. Not saying Quebec doesn't need it or anything, I'm talking about the seperatists "we find your font size offensive" crap.
The entire Deep South.
Sorry to pick on you specifically but I needed to grab one of these. Yours was the most painfully broad so I siezed it.

What is it with you people and bashing conservatives? Now, I am not a conservative but I do take offence at this.

I'll let you morons in on a little secret. When you have the right to free speech, other people might not always agree with you. Shock and awe.

@ any and all Americans - PLEASE don't give Alaska to Canada, I don't want Canadian Federalism inflicted on me everywhere I go.

If there's a state that would benefit from being a postapocalyptic wasteland, it's gotta be Washington. Frickin' Seattle.

Ah, that's just the anger over a Microsoft product talking. Go have a Starbucks and take a vacation on a Boeing 737, 747, 767, 777 or the new 787 -- just make sure you buy your tickets on Expedia and purchase your luggage or books/DVDs/CDs for the flight from Amazon.

All of those mentioned companies are Seattle-based. Hell, the planes get made just down the street from my house.

erm...as much as I hate Texas, they can stay(for now)...maybe South Carolina, they've always wanted out...

Just turn King County into its own state, then excise it from the Union. Maybe then, the rest of Washington can have free and open elections that mean something... you know, elections that aren't utterly and completely rigged by the King County Democratic Machine.
(there's a district in Seattle where the majority of the registered voters have the elections office as their home mailing address... it's the same district that just put Queen Christine in the Governor's mansion.)

"Queen Christine"? What's that make Rossi? "Aunt Dino"? If he isn't gay, he does a great job closeting himself.

Okay, that aside, and even though I voted for Gregoire, I have to agree that the Keystone Kops could have handled that election better. Sam Reed, a Republican, was nominally in charge, and he hot-potatoed that bad boy to the moron at King County faster than you can say "plausible deniability." Yes, that election was hosed, but the Rantpublicans and their high-octane lawyers couldn't make their case in a RED county in front of a (idealistically non-partisan but clearly) RED judge!

Yes, King County is Blue, and a shitload of voters live there (some of whom are even living, legal voters!) -- but remember, Washington elected Dan Evans. Stop giving us Republicans like Rossi, Carlson and the lunatic you put up against Mike Lowry in 1996 (can't remember her name, but she was easily a cousin of Snohomish County Repugnican Val "God Talks To Me" Stevens), and the state will likely go red.

Actually, they give a good reason FOR keeping California

So what's your beef with the Pacific Northwest? We're about as inoffensive as regions get in this country. Salmon anyone? (REAL salmon, not that Atlantic horseshit you NYC freaks put on bagels.)

Wow, that means that a lot of Federal mandates keeping Texas from developing its other resources will be out the window, and Texas might be able to actually have something of its own! (like, maybe the sixty-some percent of Texas that is currently under Federal control, not including military sites...)

That 60% is under federal control 'cause nobody else wants it. I've seen these places and I can't say as I blame them.

*falls over laughing*

Dollars to donuts that if the Democrats ran a moderate-to-slightly conservative Democrat for president, Texans would vote for him/her.

It's not as "far right wing conservative" as you think.

Agreed. Having spent a lot of time in Austin (where a t-shirt I saw read "keep Austin weird"), I have seen that electoral ethos in action. I rag on Texas because of my initial posts in this thread (page 4, I think), but it isn't as bad as all that.

That 60% is under federal control 'cause nobody else wants it. I've seen these places and I can't say as I blame them.
Try Nevada, we have more federal lands than any other state in the union (85%).

If you could get rid of a state?
I'd get rid of that state of permanent fear we live in.

Texas has an amazing amount of small-brained dickheads, but it also has quite a lot of really good people.

Can't say the same for Alabama. Nuke it, and I won't mind. Throw in Cuntucky for good measure.

I expect the Texan and Texas-immigrant forces could probably walk out of the conflict with the Four Corners area (Mormons won't moe again, they've got their place and they'd be as hard to roust out as the Israeils, for that matter, the Coloradans and Zonies would probably try to join the Texas republic rather than live eternally under the Socialist thumb.

Don't mistake "public heathcare" for Socialism, a few social programs is a long ways away from 'crushed under the Socialist thumb', just like having a flag in your class isn't the same as 'stomped by the Nationalist jackboot' and giving the religious kids a few minutes before class to pray is different then 'them ramming their religion down my throat'. ;)

Besides, for all the people who say they're sick of wherever they live very few are actually unhappy enough to up and leave. Just imagine if every American who doesn't like Bush up and left, or anyone, anywhere who doesn't like their leader.

Doom and gloom predictions aside, the Divided States of America would be as successful in everything(except perhaps militarily) as the United States are, except with happier people and less partisan politics.

PS: But Canadians would be happiest of all, as they'd be more concerned with running their country well and less with catching flak over trying to decriminalize weed.

"Queen Christine"? What's that make Rossi? "Aunt Dino"? If he isn't gay, he does a great job closeting himself.

The easiest way to accomplish that (and I agree on Ellen Krayzee Craswell, that was the same year they had the "Witchcraft Platform"...ugh.) is for the Democrats to stop voting in the Republican Primary! Rossi was the most moderate GOP candidate I've seen since Dan Evans, and I honestly don't think he'd have made it to Election Day if the primary was "Open". I think we'd have got some Val Stevens or Medved Clone. Reed should have been recalled for certifying that turkey-his JOB is to Oversee elections-certification means there's nothing substantially wrong, and there was Plenty wrong, including 950 ballots "Found" thirty days after the election in a voting machine that had already been signed off as cleared, and 750 ballots that were of equally questionable parentage, alogn with the dead, the pets, and the impossible-to-confirm people registered in King County who voted, but don't seem to really exist.

That recount shouldn't have been certed with that much shit wrong, and Reed should be taken off the taxpayer dime. It's too bad incompetence and moral cowardice aren't felonies under the RCW's.

Honestly, I don't think a non-Democrat can win statewide Washington STate, and it has nothing to do with the voters. I mean, how many genuine GOP voters do you know, who would have supported Pat fricking Robertson for President in '88? yet somehow, the Republican primary picked his silly ass.

When you look at how the law was written, the GOP and their lawyers never had a chance with what they were asking for, and there was no way in hell a smart shyster like Gregoire would engage in anything that could be traced directly to her that would justify an abuse of office so long as her status in office was still in doubt. Under the RCW's the only way the Dems could have lost that case, was if they didn't contest it. On sober reflection, the Judge had no choice because those high-powered lawyers didn't use the brains they allegedly possess and recieve huge sums of money for allegedly using-even if all the facts in the case pointed to electoral fraud, it's a fraud above state jurisdiction, and it wasn't what they were claiming.

I doubt we'll see another Republican candidate with a prayer of winning anything above district level again, unless Patty "the Sock Puppet" Murray really screws the pooch and pulls a Tom Foley.

Well, I've given it a lot of thought...

...but in the end I had to go with the state I currently reside in. Wisconsin really is a crappy place. The town I live in isn't so bad, but Milwaukee's a shithole. Green Bay's been going down hill for years. Madison, aside from the University, is just a waste of space.

The rural areas around here are full of fools and drunks. There really isn't a single redeeming factor to this state that I can honestly think of at this moment.

Oh, you wanted more examples of crappy cities?

Shit...there are no more. :p

Texas.

Specifically....Crawford Texas.

Can't say the same for Alabama. Nuke it, and I won't mind. Throw in Cuntucky for good measure.



*slap* I would nuke you back but I like Texas so....meh.

Alabama, what a waste of space. Either kick it out or cover it with Wal-Mart stores, no one would notice either way.



Gah! Leave Alabama alone! We're a great state and more and more of your industry is being relocated here anyway, so how do you feel losing a nice chunk of the economy? Besides, we're already covered with Wal-marts :mad:

I'd kick the South East of the England out the UK. (Including essex, where I live, although I was born in Scotland) I've never found anywhere else with more snobs and yuppies anywhere else. Although the north/south divide makes it virtually seperate anyway, since the Governemnt doesn't realise there's a country north of London.

London gets to stay, simply for having Camden in it, the coolest place on earth :P

I would want to kick Massachusetts out of the Union! :D

See, I'd be stuck between Mass and California. Can we kick out two? Taxachusetts isn't all that large, we could just add it to California, and boot Cali.

Texas, gone!

Ditto!

If you had a choice what province/state/region would you kick out of your country/or any country if given the chance...


I would personnaly kick Texas out of The USA....
Or Kick wales out of the UK just to see what they would do....

Massachusetts

I would want to kick Massachusetts out of the Union! :D

Ever been here? Or did the President make up your mind for you?

Ever been here? Or did the President make up your mind for you?



I think certain individuals like Ted Kennedy made up his mind ;)

Ever been here? Or did the President make up your mind for you?

Yes I have.

The fact that I can carry a pistol openly or concealed in Virginia, and not in Massachusetts, made up my mind for me a long time ago.

I dunno which state I'd boot. Only one I can think of is Tassie, because it's small, insignificant, and an island anyway.

It's harder with Australia, because none of the states is totally useless.

Hmmm...

So-Cal
New Jersey

And, can we boot cities? If so...Filthadelphia can go with New Jersy.

Once again, in defense for Massachusetts....

If we ignored certain bad politicians and political affiliations from this survey, then what would all of you be saying?

In the US we kinda forget the whole definition of a state

Nebraska is a state, but Mongolia is also a state, just like Iran or Kenya or the US

def. a politically organized body of people usually occupying a definite territory; especially : one that is sovereign

Florida. Gone. Now. It will be given to Cuba so Elian Gonzales can visit his Florida family.

Why Florida? They have screwed up TWO US presidential elections. 2000, the one we all know about, but they also were the state that sent TWO slates of electors to Congress in 1876. I figure they're the root of all our presidential problems, and that we had awesome presidents until Florida became a state.

"North Germany". :) Get rid of the fischköpf!

But in the US: Vermont. Too liberal. Too "green".

If you had a choice what province/state/region would you kick out of your country/or any country if given the chance...

Or Kick wales out of the UK just to see what they would do....


i would kick my half time lived in state...new jersey,or as i like to call it..new germany into the sea.
if it aint infested by do gooder,knows what is best for me and my kids ,liberal,faux intellectuals ivory towered twits,it is comprised of neo fascist wanna be police state nazis.what a glorious combination.some know it all tweed covered loser that never worked a day in there life..protecting me from me and tellin me how i should live,and some steroided twit with a badge marchin lockstep with the pols reaching in my pocket.
you know...it's for the kids...or ...under the guise of safety..we know what is best.
somehow we managed to make it x thousand years without a nanny gov.but i guess,if you got to use that college degree for something...may as well be in a job with security..like law enforcement or being a c.o. or a court clerk or an insurance agent..or just a publicly funded teacher...everyone suckin off the teet of the guy that actually works and produces something for society.

before i get flamed...i hate leeches,and lazy people.and i aint sayin all cops are lazy and all polls suck..just most..lol..j/k...but we have created a machine that needs to be fed..and jersey is the epitomy of liberal/socialist/fascist machine that needs crimminals(even victimless crime types..u know seatbelts and cell phones) to feed itself.,and very high taxes to support the teachers unions to indoctrinate our kids that the state knows best.dont even get me started on the dui shit.and before i hear howls of protest,i dont advocate drunkin idiots careening on the roads,nor do i like asshats talkin on there cells like they are the only person in the world..girls..that would be you..lol..my daughter included.i just dont like how they turn everything into a revenue generator here where there is no victim.
i am sure there is some legal minded people here,for example,if i am babbling like an idiout on my phone and then get in an accident,then i should be punished,but for saying let me call you back in a minute,,,i get a 130 .00 ticket..yes i just got one...my point is,i did not commit a crime(until they outlawed it)and hurt no one.but i am being punished for what "might happen"
if you ask me,thats a real slippery slope to go down,where does that stop...i did not commit a crime,1 year ago it was ok,most other states it was ok,dont give me the argument that we are trying to protect the public,punish those that do something that hurts someone..like...murder/burglary/assault..there is a clear victim...what,if i think about killing or robbing someone..i am a crimminal,what if thinking that way is against the law....no victim..but there could be i guess.
just because your a twit and cant talk and drive i get screwed,and a seatbelt??????wtf..all i am hurtin is me.
no big stretch i think drugs should be legal as well.
and i despise helmet laws,yet i always wear one even if it aint the law..go figure!
sorry for the rant..i hate this state,soon as my daughter goes to another college i am outta here.

Montanta... Hermits and weirdos (Ted Kaczinski), mad cow disease, and I can't think of anything else that's there. They have had a higher amount of hermit freaks than just about anywhere else.

there hiding from all the other nuts in this crazy place we call the world..they may be on to something..lol...we all cant be in college and hittin the clubs on friday and be all enlightened.
i was in montana once and thought it was beautiful..but then i dont need to be clubbin anymore to feel important,or to be urban so i am down with it...kinda a nasty thing to say about a state where most people just farm and want to be left alone,but then again,they are probably equally baffled by city types that get there self worth from being art snobs and getting drunk at clubs..if that aint you..i apologize ..

everyone says texas... i like texas.. atleast the gulf-coast part. i assume most of the west and north is just desert.

somebody said texas has the worst drivers.. i doubt it... i live near Monsey, NY, which has a higher density of jewish people than Israel (fact). There are so many chasidic ppl there that cannot drive AT ALL. they drive minivans like their in freakin ferraris, and for some reason think theyre the only ones on the road.

states i would kick out: wisonsin, michigan, minnesota, and north dakota (they're all basically part of canada anyway. we really dont need them for much).. oh and rename 'south dakota' to 'dakota remix'

and much of the US' economy would also be gone, gone with the wind :p

and where would you be without the city of angels...


yea we would lose kiddie porn and gangs and hollywood glorifieng it..what a loss...oh..they do have good oranges..lol

*sends West Virginia packing*

dont you mean fudge packing..lol... :gundge:

yea we would lose kiddie porn and gangs and hollywood glorifieng it..what a loss...oh..they do have good oranges..lol
Of course, kicking the 5th largest economy in the world is always a great idea.

Oh and I would kick out Alabama and turn it into a parking lot.

All of them!!!!!
