California

I would split the State first, as has already been suggested there. Southern California is a world unto itself.

Israel, is my choice. what happened to Utah? Why would anyone give just these silly states when the real treacherous ones are left off?

Check parts 2 & 3. Only 21 choices per poll.

I was not being critical, my comment was in tongue in cheek, vilifying any state, I was suggesting some were treacherous, when I do not believe them so. Have a great day.

Alaska

Seriously could we sell Alaska back to the Russians? Then maybe we could give Mississippi back to the French as well?

Kansas

and after Kansas, lets see if Missouri will follow, and so on...

Why would we leave?

reply
Jay0Byrd to Z 2012/05/12 06:12:46

My first thought was, to avoid the silly State Taxes, and terrible Motor vehicle laws and driver's license laws, and mis-use of State funds

reply
Z to Jay0Byrd 2012/05/12 06:51:23

Fair enough.

you know NC isn't the only state to ban gay marriage (if that's why you chose it)

there are atleast 26 states with some form of gay marriage ban.

I don't think the federal government should override the state's decisions, but I also don't think that any form of government should be in the insititution of marriage.

reply
Metaldane to Savior 2012/05/12 05:00:09

I know but I just dislike the south in general because of that it's why I'm happy my states going to be legalizing soon possibly within a month.

reply
Savior to Metaldane 2012/05/12 05:08:41

Do you have a valid argument for government to be in the institution of marriage?

Just wondering.

reply
Metaldane to Savior 2012/05/12 06:47:54 (edited)

Right now it's needed if gov wasnt involved at all that'd be fine because then same sex marriage wouldn't need to be legalized but I want to get gay marriage legalized (no I'm not gay) and the best way right now is by working through state government

reply
Savior to Metaldane 2012/05/13 23:42:39

You know there has been more government involvement against same sex marriage, if you take the government out of it, you remove many of the benefits but anybody could get married, and not have to see if it's legal.

reply
Metaldane to Savior 2012/05/14 03:54:21

I'm still for the gov being involved Canada for example allow their gov to make laws regarding marriage the majority wanted same sex marriage so the gov made it law that the provincial and territorial governments must perform them I see no prob with that and I don't care bout your reasons you won't be changing my mind.

reply
Savior to Metaldane 2012/05/14 20:11:31

Okay if a government can say who can get married, what's to stop them from saying who CAN'T get married?

reply
Metaldane to Savior 2012/05/14 20:19:57

Public outcry if they do that the public goes against that decision and forces it to change but that's unlikely to happen they're not governed by one single person and progress doesn't often go backward plus if the gov is doin that theyve most likely done worse already that's when you overthrow the government.

reply
Savior to Metaldane 2012/05/14 20:22:21 (edited)

When a government is limited and not involved in every single aspect of life there would be no government to overthrow. Government only reflects demand of the people, whereas people set the demands, doesn't that mean people are more productive than government.

reply
Metaldane to Savior 2012/05/14 20:23:34

People would also have less power to change society

reply
Savior to Metaldane 2012/05/14 20:24:21

No, people would have more power.

reply
Metaldane to Savior 2012/05/14 20:26:01

Your opinion only like I said we aren't going to agree so just drop it and don't waste both our time.
