Going on a thought that someone had in another thread regarding the Chinese buying us...
Let's make believe that the US Gov't needs to sell one state to cover the cost of all the debt. Which State would you (as the current president) sell to the commies? and why?
Winner: Kentucky - cause its just s ****** state. Plus its surrounded by rednecks, bible thumpers, and inbreds and what better way to scare the commies out of the US then those guys.
Runner up: Ohio - Only reason I didn't pick this state over Kentucky is because the commies could escape via the Great lakes.

Am I limited to one state?
Why give up a state when we could unload a few territory's?
We could start by offering Puerto Rico to the Chineese and add the US Virgin Islands, America Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the minor Outlying islands.
IIRC only Guam serves any usefulness, unless you could could count in Samoan wrestlers.....

Wow, that's a hard pick.
My first thought was Texas, but there are just too many resources there. I have to go with New Jersey.

Wise choice, Lousianna too, but that might be harder to unload now that the secret is out about it being swampland.

So once they take control we can randomly bomb the s$*t out of it and blame it on the Japanese. Then sit back and watch the chaos that ensues. I do believe I have no morals.

New Mexico. Mostly because I can't think of anything there worth keeping.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Most sensible choice would be one of the territories, any of the west coast states, Hawaii, or Alaska.
Why would they sell a landlocked state with no real access to the government buying it?

I guess a better way of phrasing that would have been to ask what country in their right mind would buy one of the US's landlocked states. Especially, as mentioned earlier in this thread, Kentucky?

I know it's difficult for you to understand, but no one is actually buying any US states. This was just a silly thread asking which state you'd like to sell if you could. It's make-believe.

Well it's quite clear that no one is buying any US states. I'm looking at the "make-believe" hypothetical question from a different point of view. The fact of the matter is that, hypothetically, if the US wanted to sell off a state, they'd probably have to settle for selling off either some territories or one of the two states that isn't connected to the rest of them.
Even with hypothetical questions there can be more than one side to the question.
I never said anything about actually thinking the US was thinking of selling off a state. Don't make accusations of stupidity if you have no proof.
Besides, if I actually had a choice of a state to get rid of, I'd amalgamate the southern states(From NC to Texas and everything south of that) into one and then sell them to Mexico.

I was going to go with the normal Florida or Texas, but I think I'll say Alabama instead. I can not think of anything we get out of Alabama worth keeping.
And Kelvy, yes, there are Unicorns in New Mexico. Specifically one named Charlie

Jackalopes, which are better then unicorns.
And nukes, which are more real.
In my humble experience, New Mexico is more beautiful then Arizona, which is more beautiful then Eastern California.
The United State.
Michigan. 1) The Lions are there. 2) It's like Mississippi with snow.
I generally believe life is too short to spend much of it holding grudges.
However . . .
I'm still pretty peeved at Nebraska for depriving me of 3 days of my wild west vacation in 1980. Sell that ****!
