What U.S. state would you completely eliminate?

[marky2bucks]

Here are the rules:
The state completely disappears and is replaced by water.
The state's residents get 48 hours to leave.
All natural resources, structures, etc. are gone

My vote is for Delaware (sorry). It doesn't seem to provide any service to me. Every time I drive to NY, I have to pay 4 bucks to drive 12 miles thru Delaware.

Also, what country would you get rid of? Same rules.

[Marc with a c]

I can do without nebraska.

[cupcakelove]

I would say one of the really big empty states that doesn't really give anything back to the rest of us. Like North Dakota. What hell even goes on in there.

[LordJezo]

Rhode Island.

It's so small and doesn't do much of anything, I doubt people would care much once it's gone.

[Snoogans]

alaska, I want more water between us and russia

[OGC]

I vote for Michigan, when it disappears it would make a really GREAT lake.

[ChrisTheCop]

I would say one of the really big empty states that doesn't really give anything back to the rest of us. Like New Jersey. What hell even goes on in there.

agreed.

[Snoogans]

its where all your cities bodies are burried, Chris

[drjoek]

Are we eliminating a state or annexing the territory to another state? NOBODY would want that smelly part of New Jersey

CT could absorb RI without it even being missed then we would have nice ocean beaches and a little more voting power

[carsonogin]

Nevada.

[Snoogans]

the rule is it gets covered by water, so ALASKA


and Nevada would be the first state I'd keep

[Jujubees2]

West Virginia!

[nevnut]

Nevada.

The greatest state in the union in my book!

[marky2bucks]

covered by water, no annexation.

So Rhode Island would be a big bay as opposed to a small state.

[underdog]

New Jersey.

Anyone or anything worth anything in New Jersey is in NY now, so there's no real reason to keep NJ.

[Dude!]

arizona is hot and god awful and filling up with all the old people florida used to get

[marky2bucks]

New Jersey.

Anyone or anything worth anything in New Jersey is in NY now, so there's no real reason to keep NJ.

If Jersey went, where would everyone live that can't afford NY? I think there would be a big overpopulation problem

[underdog]

They can go to hell. Or Delaware.

[LordJezo]

New Jersey.

Anyone or anything worth anything in New Jersey is in NY now, so there's no real reason to keep NJ.

That's crap, companies are leaving NYC and coming into NJ. Have you seen how built up Jersey City, Hoboken, and Newark are becoming? People can no longer afford how much NY is costing them and NJ is taking them in. We also are home to one of the largest shipping ports in America, one of the busiest airports in the country is here, and we also have one of the biggest gasoline / oil / stuff facilities in the world.

You might not like NJ and you might think it smells funny, but NJ is actually needed, its like those dudes at the bottom of a ocean liner working in the engine room, you don't know they are there but they are needed to keep things running.

You can't flood NJ because we are actually needed for things that keep this country working.

[DarkHippie]

New Mexico. A giant lake where the state was might do wonders to the desert.

[Fezticle98]

Probably Idaho. Just because. And that would be one GIANT lake.

[led37zep]

Utah. Aside from the skiing the state is offering nothing, plus it'd be nice to have a lake that people could actually use in that part of the country.

[JPMNICK]

the only correct answer is Kansas, and it is so the people in the midwest have a beach to go to as well as a decent water supply.

[El Mudo]

My thought was this. We get rid of the desert and have a giant body of water. On this body of water we have a shitload of gambling boats. It would be great.

Gambling and one of those lake parties where it seems like girls just can not keep their tops on.

I can't afford to answer this question with my 1st name.

Have fun next World War when Russia only has 40 miles of water to cross instead of hundreds. Plus you are giving people 48 hours to leave, so if you live in NY and wanna get rid of jersey, where the fuck do you think everyone is going? You eliminate Alaska to keep a buffer with Russia and all the residence run into Canada, it will have ZERO effect on the US. Plus it will ruin the stupid park so we could go up and get that oil

[Bulldogcakes]

New Mexico. A giant lake where the state was might do wonders to the desert.

I like the way you think. New Mexico for me, too.

Plus its such an unoriginal name. New Mexico? We already have a Mexico, and its way better. We don't need a new one.

From past experiences, the best way into Mrs. Rod is to get the 2 1/2 minutes down to a constant 45 seconds.

Tell em that story is bullshit. Texas so wanted to be part of the Union because the Wasps who ran the place had tremendous debt and needed help fighting off Mexicans.

Any state directly between Texas and Canada would be OK to sink. A big rectangular lake would look silly though.
