If you could get rid of one state,which would it be and why?

Hawaii, man. It's so far off the mainland it's not even funny.

And to take it one step further, I'd make Canada part of the US just to make Alaska feel at home.

That's just me, though.

chrlefxtrt, from what I understand California holds a sizeable chunk of what's left of the US's manufacturing sector, and is where most of the trade with Asia -- both in the boardroom and at the seaport -- is done. It's also one of the US's top tourist destinations, has a system of public colleges that are actually still pretty good, and is the place where most of the brains we drain from the developing world end up.

Could all these things be relocated somewhere else? With much time and effort, yes. But in the meantime the US economy would take a major hit, while a newly independent California would be courting trade deals of their dreams with China and Japan, likely by crying on these countries' shoulders about their former owner's warhawkery.

Or other countries would do some "warhawkery" of their own and take that son of a bitch over. Without the rest of U.S. to defend it, I don't think Cali would have much military might. Granted, they have a pretty big population compared to the other states, but compared to other nations they're pretty low on the totem pole.
 
Wyoming definitely. I've never been to wyoming but its the least populated state in the country, so it would make the least impact if it were gone.

Rhode Island...they aren't big enough to be either own damn state, one of the others should just take it.

hell no man. you seem to forget that RI is the home to Family Guy, so it should be given immunity from this thread. %)

i think you guys should give up hawaii and give it to scotland. you know it makes sense. <3
 
No! I love hawaii, its one of my favorite states, it stays, its worth the extra travel :p
 
^^^No, but it's a state that could easily be part of the mainland if only Canada became part of the US and changed provinces to states.

I'm telling you, man, it's some logical shit.
 
Nobody said Minnesota...they have a shitload of lakes, which is great for fishing, but I just couldn't find any cool people no matter how I hard I tried. No offense to Prince or Bob Dylan or Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
 
OK is sort of a barren wasteland, it seems. It would be one of the last choices for a vacation, thats for sure. The native's casinos are stingy with the firewater as well.
 
I'll bet we could get rid of NH without any type of repercussion.
 
^Go fuck yourself. This is the "live free or die" state. We aren't required to wear seatbelts or have car insurance. And we don't have income or sales tax. Think about that for a minute........................its pretty sweet.
