What US state(s) should be exiled/sold out of the country, in your opinion?!
Question: It's tempting for me to say the Dakotas, but they're like that redneck cousin you're ashamed of but still love anyway.

Having had to be able to speak spanish to order a beer in a Milwaukee airport bar, I'd say most of the country is already sold.
We could sell California too, uhm, to any purchaser interested in brush fires, tectonic instability, worships mentally unstable celebrities, sushi bars and mudslides.
Key West has tried to seceed, and there have been secession campaigns in Texas. (Although as screwed up as our school system already is, I don't know what we'd do without Federal funding for schools.)
I could live without Oklahoma. Any state that mandates 3.2% beer needs to go. And someone with a penchant for repairing bad roads would love it. (At 3.2% I never felt guilty for buying a six pack for the drive from Tishomingo to Plano.)
We could sell Lousiana to any country in South America that's fond of political corruption; the purchaser will find it already in great supply.
The general attitude among people from Colorado is that it's already being sold to Texas. (I have a set of title plates from Wisconsin I use for trips to Colorado.)
Being from Texas, I have to suggest that we put it up on the block. No matter where I've gone, the revelation that I'm from Texas usually makes everyone think I'm a lunatic with an oil rig in my backyard, wealthy and willing to gunfight at any moment. (And yes, I have seen an oil rig next to a cemetary,... so much for resting in peace.)
How about Utah? I could deal with a few less Mormons hammering on my door and getting offended when I answer in my boxers with a beer in one hand and an xbox controller in the other. The United Emirates seems to appreciate religious fanaticism. Oh, wait, they only like theirs, scrap that.
Arkansas? The Kiss-Your-Sister-State? No, I can't think of anyone that would buy that one.
Missouri, maybe? The Show-Me-State,... Wait, look at her, no please don't show me!
Not Nevada, what would we do without legalized gambling and prostitution?
Yeah, we all have our faults, we all have our strengths. Where else can you see a 12' high fiberglass statue of a roadrunner, eat lunch 482' underground, and go snowboarding all in the same day?

Yeah, bro. The bartender and dishwasher were too busy chatting to deal with another gringo. "Por favor, un cerveza Miller Lite."
It worked, I got my beer, tipped a buck and waited for my ride. Report It
