Replying to (Not Spooky) Spark Dragon #sparkdragoon Spooky is right, some people have zero impulse control and zero forethought and do terrible things. That is not mental illness it’s poor decision making and thinking skills. Half these people are brain rotted and do not care about anything other than themselves.
Aristotle defined it as separate from insanity. Iirc he had three or four categories of general mental deficiency, insanity, stupidity, malevolence, and barbarity. I think this'd fall under barbarity, it's just kind of hard for modern people to identify since we don't see it nearly as much as people have historically
In other words I'd say it's not insanity stupidity or anything like that, barbarity is it's own category

I've not heard this before, but I like it
Spooky is kind of like the aristotle of our time

Haven’t heard this before either; but his four categories do make sense.

List of state partition proposals in the United States
Numerous state partition proposals have been put forward since the 1776 establishment of the United States that would partition an existing U.S. state or states so that a particular region might either join another state or create a new state. Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution, often called the New States Clause, ...

U.S. territories getting angry that they don't enjoy the privileges of statehood while failing to do what is required for statehood will never cease to be amusing. It's like whining the chicken you had for dinner was raw after you took it off the stove 10 minutes early.

All of our territories are in-favor of some form of statehood, and its been witheld because boomers fucking love the number 50

en.wikipedia.orgI hate how hard it is to find a good map of Pacific islands
I think the reason is there are all the random Eropean Overseas territories that we never know whether to include or not
this is the best I've found so far, but it's fishing zones
Mariana, Guam, Western Micronesia and Palau are all the same island chain (Marianas)
and the US administers all of them and provides services for them federally
Palau is independent because they are a diplomatic client state to work with the Philippines, in a way that doesn't directly piss off China
similar with our Marshall Islands, Kiribati, and Nauru
Micronesia is actually independent, and is where a lot of the random European islands are
I think charitably, Marianas should become one state, and all of our central Polynesian islands should become their own
Guam and the Marianas
Samoa and American Polynesia
both these names suck though
Polynesia could technically be administrated by Hawaii, but there's too big of a size/historical difference, they should be their own state
Just get rid of all those islands
Too messy
sink them!
we should do that
Don’t give them boats either

the whatever marine national monument should be part of hawaii since its part of that archipelago
I assume it's a bunch of rocks, there are a handful of islands that are essentially unpopulated
total population of the Mariana state would be ~500k
Samoa/Polymesia would be 1.2M
