Giacomo_Hawkins 11/01/25 10:17:17 PM #2:	I leave that to Puerto Ricans to decide. To my recollection, no vote listing all three options (statehood, independence, or status quo) has managed to garner more than 50 percent of the vote so I'm okay with the status quo until that happens. --- Will the little voice in the back of my mind screaming "This is a bad idea" please yield the floor. --Mikey Chivalry be hanged, and so will you. <cite>Giacomo_Hawkins posted [p:986910324] in Do you sup...

Evening_Dragon 11/01/25 10:19:39 PM #4:	I do. I think the last time anyone checked, most Puerto Ricans were still against it. People will cite the the voting majority want it, but they forget, or were otherwise of unaware of the extremely effective anti-statehood, anti-voting campaign. The total vote count was less than a third of the voting population. --- And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life?

Sundercles 11/01/25 10:20:29 PM #5:	They definitely deserve statehood.

K181 11/01/25 10:44:35 PM #8:	I support whatever Puerto Rico wants to do, and as of last check that was statehood. Similar opinion for the USVI, Samoa, Guam, and NMI. And before anyone suggests it, lumping the Pacific territories into Hawaii or the USVI into PR are political non-starters, as their smaller populations would be dwarfed if combined with the larger entities and more or less permanently disenfranchise them. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. https://youtu.be/lMss1CeHOiM <cite>K181 posted [p:986910563] in Do you sup...
