Will you Americans Accept Puerto Rico as state #51?

I was gonna write a lot of things here but I prefere not to informyou in any way, because I know some people think about Puerto Ricans good and bad and how bad information the have over us with is close to non. I leave you with this link.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...,1112894.story

I already do, I mean if the States can do business and use the land for their own good then in my book PR sure as hell is state #51.

Oh! yeah almost forgot...
Cue Lyle. :)

Most of the time yes, buy has been known to go ape sh*t!
Hes a good guy.... :)

....Puerto Rico as state 51 eh?

Well here is why it won't happen

#1 The Puerto Ricans are a proud people and won't soon mesh into the USA fold

#2 They already have a status as a quasi-state and they don't pay taxes to the US

#3 We would have to change Old Glory.....it has 50 stars.....where the hell would you put the 51st???

It does make sense for the US though...you make "American" boxing a lot better and you get to broaden the US tax base and it also potentially increases tourism within the "USA" thus helping the economy.

I do think that a more serious issue is what to do with the illegal immigrants....they are a HUGE burden. I know why people want to live here but do it legally, and be a good citizen ( and our nationalization process may need to be overhauled to do that more effectively)




Glad to see everyone waiting in awe for me to post....I feel good about that ;D

Uuuummmm!
I normally stir clear on topics like this and especially with your posts Lyle, but the above statement caught my eye.

Lyle, I'm sure that the 1st thing on the 'To do' list once PR is considered a state is....

TO DO LIST

- Boxing (as item #1 to address)
- Immigration


Now I know this is a boxing site and you more then likely used that as a mere example but I just thought it was funny. ;D

The United States said that this has to change. There are a serial events that have to happen first but it will come before year 2015 when we have to vote State or independency. It's allover the news here.

Oh and by the way for 100 year we are consider US citizens.

LETS DO IT!

u better not let her see my world tour thread or she may never let u roll with me on vacation then ;D

Honestly im not a fan of the idea..Not that it affects me in any way shape or form...

But to make it a state of the us seems that it would make puerto rico loose some of its identity..

Fair play when you from a certain state then you are proud of your state and thats your home..

But changing from a proud nation to just another state just doesnt seem right..

If the people of Puerto Rico want statehood then I say do it.

There are alot of poor families over there who are all going to be eliagble for welfare at the same time. It is a huge finanical burden on the United States if they become a state.

And you also have a lot of democratic votes which is something we don't need...

what about all them fine boriqua dimes tho bro ;)

trust me ohio is the worst state in the union.

When your closest friends refer to you "mule-headed" and "closed-minded" you get used to harsh criticism. ;D

Right now 10pm EST on Showtime Penn & Teller's BULLSHIT! is talking about immigration. Tune in.

Thanks to all for contributing a round off CC's

The Economy in the Isaland is pretty Fair I say fair because in about 10 years or so it was pretty solid but politics and taxes among other stuff made companies go to other contries. In Puerto Rico we have a lot of professionals I can say that 75% of students go to college after hight school with is good (My self I'm and Electric Engineer from the Politechnic University Of PR). As far of well fair we have all kind of taxes and basically the same system you guys use. as of today we are the ones who paid for helping our own poor people and it will be the same if we get to be a state.

Sadly the image Americans have of us sometimes is because most of the people who leave to US are poor people go to the states looking for jobs and most of them a bunch of crazy mofo living in ghettos and other places that people with well fair live. But if you ask to any supposedly Puerto Rican something about Puerto Rico the know SHIT. The other day me and my wife saw a documentary that actres Rosie Perez made of PR and have of the information she had was incorrect and most of that documentary is was based in New York that is not even close in how we live in Puerto Rico. They come here and you see them lost because they expect the same thing they see in NY or Florida.

It's funny everytime I arrive in a plane in PR you see First timers impressed how developed PR is because all the buildings and streets among other stuff because a lot of Americans see Puerto Rico like a very big ghetto and I tell you is not the case. And you boxing fans have seen fights that have been in PR when HBO take outside shots from a Helicopter.

will continue........ I have things to do now later!!
