RHODE ISLAND SUCKS

[badger]

You love Rhode Island
But Rhode Island loves him
And he loves somebody else
Rhode Island just can't win

And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call Rhode Island
Rhode Island's gonna make you cry

I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure

(Rhode Island stinks)
Rhode Island stinks yeah yeah
(Rhode Island stinks)
Rhode Island stinks yeah yeah

(Rhode Island stinks)
Rhode Island stinks yeah yeah
(Rhode Island stinks)
Rhode Island stinks yeah yeah

It's like SEE?!? SEE??????? We told you that he was Barry Hussein Soretoro and HERE is are some red circles to prove that we're right!!!!!

Once again, does it matter which country he was born in if his mother was an American citizen herself?

IMO he is a citizen as his mother was a citizen.....not sure why this is an issue.

"No person except a natural born Citizen, OR a Citizen of the United States......" according to Para 5 of Art II. But that is original so not sure what amendments have been made or how case law has interpreted this.

Not a fan of Obama though.

[KantoSooner]

Only if you believe that there are a variety of classes of Americans. some superior to other 'at birth Americans' by virtue of their place of birth.

Though, I must admit, I'd be tempted to go along with this if we could rule anyone born in California, Vermont, the District of Columbia, Texas and, oh hell, why not, Rhode Island, unable to run for President. Why Rhode Island? They **** me off, that's why.

Maybe we could give people from Michigan an automatic 250,000 votes to spend as they see fit.

I mean, if we're going to just head off and be randomly stupid, that is.

[yermom]

it's a dumb law, and a dumb approach to get rid of Obama

people pushing this are double-morons

This is a fun discussion idea: Who shouldn't be able to run for president and why :D

1- Anyone from S-E-C! S-E-C! country. It's my Southern Strategy to decrease their influence on everything and get the national title to another conference. Namely, the Big 12, More namely, OU.

2- Anyone over the age of 67. Retire, dammit. You're hogging the jobs that us young people need to pay off all the debts and sh!t.

3- Anyone from a "Rust Belt" state. There is a reason people are massively exodusing from your states, and it isn't because of air conditioners in the sunny south. It's because you're a has-been. Now join Canada and stop trying to be "swing states" every four years. We'd much prefer to ignore you (and your lousy football conference) 24/7/365/infinity-plus-one

4- Anyone from a "Blue State." Oh, look at all of that lovely debt you've acquired. Now please secede so the rest of you don't have to pay your bills. Or become Greek. They have mythology, which is like what you used to convince people to spend so lavishly on programs you can never afford.

5- Anyone from a "Red State." Your roads suck, your bridges are deteriorating, your schools are underfunded, your citizen's health is abysmal, and yet your top agenda items are "Let's lower taxes!" You are the cheapskate uncle that everyone hated in "Home Alone." Just pay for your damn crystal glasses and stop forgetting your reading glasses, Frank.

6- Anyone that cannot prove that they were born. Oh, you think so therefore you are? That sounds like flip-flopping, mister. Take your hocus pocus mumbo jumbo talk to a philosophy class.

7- Anyone from a "coastal elite" state. We get it. You fly over the "flyover states" because you are so damn special. We are in the process of earthquake fracking your states into their own islands so we don't have to be connected to you. Until then, stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong: in charge of anything.

8- Anyone from the "Heartland." Serious, where is the "Heartland?" I'll tell you where: Wherever a natural disater just struck, wherever a big accident happened, etc. Whenever bad stuff happens, we make them feel better by telling them how much they mean to us, our dear little "Heartland" of Joplin/Gulf Coast BP oil spill/Nawlins/etc. We secretly don't care.

[KantoSooner]

Can't we get some special rant on Rhode Island?

I am thinking we can ride this little bit of whimsy right up 'til opening kick off if we're careful with it.

Down with you, Rhode Island. You and your damn coffee milk!

[OULenexaman]

Coffee milk???? Disgusting stuff.....I'm on board. **** off Rhode Island.

Absolutely. I've never been there but I understand that it is the tiniest state in the country. Remind me again why we allow them two senators. Don't you need to have at least two citizens in order to have two senators?

[OULenexaman]

I'd say 5.....the other 3 decide the vote.

[badger]

Look at Rhode Island's stupid flag:

HOPE we can cast our anchor somewhere besides Rhode Island! :P

[Bourbon St Sooner]

Hey Rhode Island, an island is surrounded on four sides by water. You do not meet that definition stupid ****ers.

You are surrounded by dooshbags but that's a different story.

[Mississippi Sooner]

The official name is Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. How pretentious is that?

[LiveLaughLove]

They can't even spell "road".

[rock on sooner]

Well Badg, based on your 8 point strategy, what's left are a couple of skinheads in
northern Idaho, a transplanted redneck up on the Canadian border and a nomadic
Amish clan that moves every 90 days. Took a poll and nobody wants the job so
anarchy reigns!:D

[badger]

Took a poll and nobody wants the job so
anarchy reigns!:D

So long as Rhode Island doesn't reign. Gawd, Rhode Island (apparently) sucks.

[KantoSooner]

Guess where relations with the Indians and English fell apart?

You got it: Rhode ******* Island.

What is it with these people? They just run around, electing senators with almost no votes, drinking their coffee milk, eating lobsters and causing trouble. And the rest of us just lie around letting 'em get away with it. What a find kettle of fish this is!

[Midtowner]

Rhode Island, like most insignificant, tiny New England states only exists for these reasons:

1) To make sure school-age children miss at least one state capitol on their geography test;

2) The New England state lines were drawn around cloisters of ********* yuppies so that places like New Hampshire and Vermont can always be on top of Forbes Magazine's best places to live listings. Somehow, RI constantly fails at this.

3) Can't think of anything else. Why does it even exist?

[OULenexaman]

I'm going to steal all the lobsters and shoot all the horses they rhode in on.

FACT: If Wikipedia has to zoom in to see you:

You should NOT be a state!

[OULenexaman]

Well the Taiko Drum Concert is just around the corner...

[badger]

The State was also the last of the thirteen original colonies to ratify the United States Constitution.

Hippie... liberal...commie... socialist... other disparaging words...

[cleller]

Probably a lot of Jersey Shore envy there, too.

[Mississippi Sooner]

Rhode Island doesn't even have a football team. You know why? Because if you built a football field there, the end zone would be in Massachusetts.

[badger]

I am spekking every anti-Rhodie comment in this thread.

I can't believe SF.com let me change the title of an existing thread. This topic kicks so much arse.

Unlike Rhode Island. Rhode Island gave us Family Guy and their idea ball manatees. Boo

[BillyBall]

Pictures of the state make it look like it's a beautiful place. **** beautiful places...

[KantoSooner]

Ah, God! I love it when a naked hijacking goes off without a hitch. Not a damn one! .


Thank you, Rhode Island! You proved to be the perfect victim.


(Sometimes the innocent make the best victims. - Valentino Moot)

[LiveLaughLove]

They are so commie, they named their chickens, "Reds".

[pphilfran]

A bad case of Little State Syndrome....

[Bourbon St Sooner]

I hate states with two words in its name. If you can't squeeze your state name into one ****ing word than we should hand you over to Canada. You can go up there and live with ****ing British Colombia and Nova Scotia!

[badger]

Oh yeah, totally. There is NOTHING "New" about New York, New Hampshire, New Mexico or New Jersey. And there is NOTHING "Rhode" about Rhode Island.

[BillyBall]

Another reason they should consolidate the Dakotas. Do we really need 2?

[pphilfran]

And West Virginia is actually north of Virginia...

[OULenexaman]

they were turned around a bit when they named that one....

[KantoSooner]

I make a practice of simply referring to 'The Carolinas' or 'The Dakotas'. No difference between them anyway.
<grump, grump, grump>

[KantoSooner]

And WTF with 'Wyoming'? How did a verb become a noun? And what is 'to wyome', anyway? It makes me think of wandering around with your head up your azz, maybe that's what it means.

One state to hate per thread. :mad:

Hold on a minute....the thread was so off based you changed the name....and now you want to limit us to one piddly azz state?

Its not a state, its a county.

[soonerhubs]

I agree. I also feel this Bain capital bull**** is just as asinine of a red herring.

[Midtowner]

Back to my original post... I've been stewing about it and seriously? Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut? Why are these even states? Montpelier? A capitol? New England is just for one-sided business courts, a place for banks to hide from the IRS and SEC and to provide the delightful backdrop to Family Guy.

Eff the whole damn place.

So they are like the Caribbean islands....only colder....

[LiveLaughLove]

So they are like the Caribbean islands....only colder....

Or like the Balkans, only more commie.

[Midtowner]

So they are like the Caribbean islands....only colder....

And sometimes landlocked.

Totally pointless.

[badger]

OK, new day, new state to hate. Who wants to nominate who we should hate on today? Or, you can just start ONE new state thread for us to all contribute to.

[KantoSooner]

Well, Oregon would be a natural.

[Mississippi Sooner]

Well, Oregon would be a natural.

Eff any state that doesn't allow you to pump your own gas.

[KantoSooner]

Next thing you know, they won't let you make love to your wife. You'll have to get someone from the Office of Physical Services (a division of DHS) to come over and perform the task (outlined in milspec 103.432/9 rev. 12/2) for you.

And it will all be Oregon's fault!

Bastards.

[badger]

Well, Oregon would be a natural.

I've been there. I'll totally start that thread.

[OULenexaman]

****ing tree hugging bastards....Oregon sucks.

[BigTip]

Las Vegas is hot, but, they say, it's a dry heat.
It rains all the time in Oregon, but, they say, it's a warm rain.

Idaho is another good one to beat up on.......use Idaho in a sentence.....hey...that bitch is a ho......no I da ho.

[badger]

No, we've already decided to hate on OREGON today. And there is a separate thread for that. However, you are free to continue hating Rhode Island in this thread :D

[TitoMorelli]

I just knew this thread would eventually derail the whole SF system - wtg badger. :P

[KantoSooner]

So Rhode Islanders control the internet, too? Gods! What don't they have their grubby little fingers into?

[Bourbon St Sooner]

Well, Oregon would be a natural.

I thought Arkansas was the natural state? What's so natural about cousins marrying each other? ****ing inbred retards!

Oh and **** Rhode Island!
