    I never said it was on a message board.

    Clearly you're still cum-drunk from the experience.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Your opinion of them is irrelevant.

    As American citizens they have a right to self determination concerning whether they desire to become a state.

    Puero Rico has had several elections for statehood. They went pro overwhelmingly. They voted in 1967, 1993, 1998, and 2012.

    Yep, the author of the article in the OP, Adam Friscia, was way off the mark on his bold prediction.

    It wasn't my prediction.

    They have to pay taxes if they do. So they won't.

    Trumpers don't like brown people. They want to Make America White Again. Admitting 3.2M brown people to the Union is the opposite of what they want.

    Lip-service. They also claim to be Christians while supporting a violent overthrow of the federal government, incarceration of anyone to the left of their ideology and seeking to return women and people of color to second class status.

    This is the reason why Republicans didn't want Hawaii to become a state (and why Democrats did).

    I'd have to research that one, but I have no doubt, if the question came up today, you'd be 100% correct.

    As a Democrat, I strong support making both DC and Puerto Rico states.

    I also support combining the Dakotas into one state,

    and if we can make a single state out of Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho,
    I don't see much of a problem with that either.
