Your state is not a state and never has been.

[GasBandit]

At least if your state is North Dakota, apparently. Seems there was a bit of a constitutional whoopsie.

 

[Null]

It's okay, no one lives there anyway.

 

[AshburnerX]

Point of Order: It's not North Dakota anymore. It's just Dakota now.

Also, the states if they were defined by areas where people generally use cell phones to communicate with each other -

Alex Goldmark explains a novel map:

This is what our state lines might look like if we drew them based on who actually talks with each other, at least according to cell phone data gathered by MIT. These are the geographic clusters of who texts with whom within an area, from the MIT Senseable City Lab's Connected States of America mapping project.​

 

[DarkAudit]

Old news is old. And lacking in wingnuttery to make it worth discussing further.

 

[Officer_Charon]

I dig the separation of Northern and Southern California on that map. As it bloody well should be!

 

[makare]

Pfft inferior Dakota.

 

[Gusto]

My state isn't a state.

 

[Fun Size]

So Sheen had it right all along?

"Carl, how many times do I have to tell you? Your permanent record is just a myth, like the Loch Ness Monster, or North Dakota!"

 

[Denbrought]

Sweet home Georgiabama.

 

[GasBandit]

Pfft inferior Dakota.

More like you live in Montawyodakbransas.

 

[Baerdog]

It's a name that just rolls off of the tongue.

 

[Dei]

LoL @ California, no wonder the south wants to secede! Also loving the split between NYC and the rest of the state. (Damn Right) They can have New Jersey.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

The other half of California can suck my balls.

 

[sixpackshaker]

The other half of California can suck my balls.

Not to be gross, but you might find some takers...

[Mathias]

I say give both Dakotas and Montana to Canada in exchange for Ontario.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I say give both Dakotas and Montana to Canada in exchange for Ontario.

Change that to Quebec and you got yourself a deal, mister!

 

[Chad Sexington]

I don't want Montana! Everyone I've met from there is a jerk! And Nick, what the hell! I love Quebec! I WILL WAGE WAR OVER THIS, ADAM WAYNE STYLE.

 

[Sparhawk]

Hell no, we don't want Quebec. All my eBay troubles came from Quebec, every single freaking one of them.

 

[blotsfan]

We can't take Ontario! Then where would I go to legally drink and gamble?

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

If you guys give us Ontario, we'll consider also taking Quebec.

 

[makare]

You can have Nodak but Sodak.. no way.

 

[grub]

You can have both Quebec and Ontario, but you have to give us Washington and Oregon

 

[Gusto]

But... but I don't wanna go!

 

[makare]

Please take Quebec?

Take my Quebec... Please!

 

[Chad Sexington]

But... but I don't wanna go!

Don't worry Gusto, I fight as much for Ontario as Quebec in the coming battles!

 

[strawman]

My state isn't a state.

That all sounds very provincial.

We can't give them South Dakota.

At least not until we move Mount Rushmore to, say, Houston (hey, we gotta do something to make up for the shuttle...)
