Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

No, Rhode Island can earn its spot by smiting Providence Plantations.
He wasn't kidding, Wisconsin has some kind of fucked up badger fetish
We got Badger elementary schools, Badger Highschools, Badger community colleges, Badger auto mechanics, Badger cheese (I hope to got it's not literal badger cheese), I think there's more than one military unit from Wisconsin with "Badgers" as their callsign, and our welfare/medicaid system is called Badgercare (in that if you are poor you can receive medical care or food if you can defeat a badger in a duel)
Oh and like 5,000 school football teams
Badgers aren't always evil though, look at these things (spoilered for D'awww)
The bones of the individuals in the picture were never recovered after they were attacked by the badger cubs
In a creepy turn of events, the state park sign talking about the farm where Booth died is in Virginia, meaning the seal of Virginia is on the sign, which has that phrase.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
like i think i said that it was the clown of state flags
and some random stranger overheard me and got pissed and called me out
it was kind of embarrassing for both of us i think
dude whatever
we defeated the zia indians and consumed their flesh
their iconography is now ours to do with as we will
a snaaakkkeee a snaaaakkkeeee
Man, why Hawaii? Hawaii is cool. Make them battle a state we don't want!

I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
Republicans lost their big DC prevention tool when SCOTUS said that guns were AOK in DC, though. They may not want DC statehood, but if it were to come up seriously now, what argument could they use to prevent it?
Who's 52? Canada?
Don't look outside, though.
republicans don't need judicial consistency
they rose above that principle in bush v gore
I'm talking about how they can't just stick DC gun rights in to a DC statehood bill anymore to get Democrats to give up on it. DC already has guns. They'll need a new tactic, or else DC residents might actually get to be treated like actually Americans, finally.
DC is a federal district, and under the constitution DC is run by the federal government, it's courts are run by the federal government, and the government can mess in local affairs.
So you either have to amend things so that federal districts get senators and reps, or you have created a state where the federal government runs it and it's courts system. Neither of these are legal.
Uh, no. Most "Make DC a state!" plans still keep the federal government itself- i.e., the mall- as non-state territory.
If you amend the constitution they could be.
DC is full of honest hard working american men and women who are NOT given equal representation to their state-having brethren. And before you say that they should move, keep in mind that would cause our government to collapse, if all of the janitors and cab drivers suddenly abandoned DC en mass.
My grandparents, living in DC, couldn't even vote for President. That is fucking absurd.
The constitution is dated in certain areas. When it was written this didn't really matter, because residents of cities generally were not land-owners anyway. As our nation has evolved, and the vote has been spread out to everyone, it is a horrible blemish on our visage that the men and women who keep the infrastructure of capital hill up and running do not actually have representation within it.
its like the 2006 time person of the year
that 52nd star?
its you
So you're fine with more Americans than live in several of the less populous states having no representation
And no one really minds that. So long as the borders exclude residential zones, having a non-state piece in the center is perfectly fine.
We have 41 votes in the Senate, fuck you? I think they'd use that argument.
Letting it go to a vote as is is a last resort, and who says they would win it?
Losing the DC gun thing actually makes statehood all the more possibly, as odd as it seems.
I never said I was fine with it. I was explaining why it's not legal and why it hasn't happened.
And for the record I've lived in/around DC my entire life, so I'm one of those not represented.
Well good for us laws can be changed, bad for us that unless we're passing a conservative issue it's nearly impossible
The reason it hasn't happened is because of conservative opposition to a new liberal state. The fact that there are laws in the way makes no difference, because those laws can be ammended. It is technically illegal to outright declare ANY area to be a state without the passing of certain laws and votes anyway. The process with DC might be slightly different, but there is still a process.

There's a DC derailment in the Primaries thread as well, so there's some steam to it, at least.

Just watch. It'll happen.
Hell, Disney could probably be their own country. I mean, they already have their own currency.

For that matter, most that could actually get past Congress don't even make it it's own state, but return the rest of it like the Virginia side was already returned, because giving Maryland one extra seat in the house is more palatable to a certain political party than giving the other party another two senate lock-in seats.
pfft why bother with statehood when senators can already be bought and sold
Yeah, if they became a state, they might actually need to pay taxes
Do explain. I am intrigued.
Disney dollars. Basically, you can convert regular money into fake money which can only be used in Disney World.
