Which state would be missed the least if it were to suddently disappear. Explain your reasoning. Go!

1/8/2009 3:21:02 PM

ND

No one lives there. No major attractions.

1/8/2009 3:21:26 PM

i've told people i live in delaware and they've asked me what state that was in before

but the answer is in fact north kadota

TEXAS

DONT MESS WITH TEXAS

they'll cry

then we wouldn't have $texas!

1/8/2009 3:22:53 PM

I am gonna go with either of the Dakotas. Has anything valuable ever happened in either place? I think not.

1/8/2009 3:22:54 PM

tough to argue with North Dakota

1/8/2009 3:23:10 PM

Rhode Island.

1/8/2009 3:23:19 PM

^^^mount rushmore is in one of them right?

1/8/2009 3:23:25 PM

yes, they do have a mountain that they dynamited into the shape of some presidents.

1/8/2009 3:24:07 PM

South Dakota wouldn't work...then you'd just have a 77,000 square mile rectangle inside the continental US that wasn't part of the US

Delaware

North or south dakota

West virginia

mississippi

arkansas

alabama

montana

idaho


pretty much every state without one of the four major professional sports teams

and I'm not basing it on them being worthless because they don't have a team

but because any state who's biggest city isn't deemed worthy of housing at least 1 professional team is pretty worthless to the country as a whole

Missouri

1/8/2009 3:25:32 PM

oh wait I thought this was about football

SC I mean....

I noticed nobody has said NEBRASKA

because NEBRASKA IS FUCKING AWESOME

1/8/2009 3:27:40 PM

WV was my first thought because they don't contribute much to the economy or culture. We could always replace WV jokes with SC so that works too. The problem is that they have an unbelievable ATV trail system that I wouldn't want to disappear. With that in mind I think I'll keep my eyes open for another choice.

my vote is north dakota. idaho has potatos and west virginia has skiing, whitewater rafting, and other fun outdoor stuff.

1/8/2009 3:28:49 PM

soon every state will be named.......

1/8/2009 3:28:56 PM

also, it doesn't matter how it would affect the map of the united states.

Mr. Joshua

yeah i misread and thought he was saying has anything of value ever happened in SD.

SD's got some cool shit

ND's got some

...

well, shit

oh and i think phil jackson's ranch

1/8/2009 3:31:33 PM

I'm going to say Rhode Island based on value of land. Delaware has a lot of industry, like Dupont, etc.

My original answer was to be Hawaii because of it's location. You could still vacation there, but then I think it is a strategic place to keep military bases, so we should hold on to that.

1/8/2009 3:31:45 PM

Delaware is pretty damned shitty too.

1/8/2009 3:32:05 PM

Michigan

it's kind of like an old dog, some good old memories, still looks good in pictures but on paper its a wash. We just need to make peace and take it off the map. At least the upper peninsula at a minimum.

1/8/2009 3:33:34 PM

I love looking at a map of the US. It just looks like they got tired of fighting over land when it was time to move out west.

The states are just HUGE out there lol.

1/8/2009 3:33:49 PM

1/8/2009 3:35:54 PM

A lot of the northern mid-west has no draw for me at all. Neither does the midwest at all, basically anything between TN and CO.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_states_by_GDP_per_capita_(nominal).PNG

Um, most-er than the 8 that MO borders?! I thought 8=8 and therefore not 8>8.

[Edited on January 8, 2009 at 3:39 PM. Reason : counting skills]

1/8/2009 3:36:12 PM

MO and TN both border 8

1/8/2009 3:36:21 PM

i'll stand behind West Virginia and say that they have some great skiing. Also its a beautiful state to drive through. The New River Gorge is awesome and rafting on the Gauley river is bees knees.

1/8/2009 3:36:33 PM

WV Sucks Azz

1/8/2009 3:36:36 PM

^^^^^maybe they changed it, but i thought with their sparse population density it was still justified

^^^^yeah i just realized MO borders 9

new mexico is pretty worthless. their biggest claim to fame is one of the corners of their state is shared with 3 other states.
