Yeah, I don't know too many Texans that identify themselves as Cajuns...So where you from boss? I'm thinking Baton Rouge (red bat) Lousiana...probably part Seminole to boot...?

There's a few of them in SE Texas, but they are just transplants. OK people (I worked there for 4 years), but they don't pronounce words and names correctly. Baton rouge is OK - I went to college there, but too far north and big city for me. I'm from Morgan City (actually a small town outside of Morgan City). It's where the insted of the boot would be near the mouth of the Atchafalaya River just north of where it discharges into the gulf. Not much Indian in me, but none of us are "pure bloods," eh?

Kentuck and three others are n't states.... They are called something else....

Never heard anything like that before, but West Virginia was created in violation of our constitution during the war of Northern Aggression. I don't recognize that region of these united states as being a legal governmental entity.

Don't cite wikipedia to me or I'll go change it to say that kentucky is the 200th state in these united states and then cite that. "State" has a definition - not just a "name." The definition applies as out constitution originally stood OR they couldn't have enterd the union. Sorry, but that's stretching it a bit....lol.
 
Commonwealth of Kentucky


Flag of Kentucky


In 1785, residents of Kentucky County began petitioning the Virginia legislature for statehood. They wished the County to be recognized as a "free and independent state, to be known by the name of the Commonwealth of Kentucky." On June 4, 1792, Kentucky County, Kentucky officially became a state. The Constitution was changed as to the style for "all process and mandates" to "Commonwealth of Kentucky" in 1850; prior to that change "State of Kentucky" was used.[7]

Sounds like the NAME of Kentucky is "Common Wealth of Kentucky" and not just "Kentucky," but it is officially a state. It's like calling a silverfish a silverFISH even though it is officially an insect. :)

...if that is a factual excerpt representing legal truth. (I just never trust wikipedia.)
 
Hey Mike, (off topic here as well) but I did the reincarnation thingy in your sig...I'm coming back as an elephant, can't say I'm unhappy with that...just what does it mean? what are you coming back as? do some people actually come back as cockroaches?
 
Back on topic to the still off-topic topic, here's what one of your links says
The Commonwealth of Virginia (en-us-Virginia.ogg /vɚˈdʒɪnjə/ (help·info)) is an American state on

Here's the list of the four I thought were technically not states....
Four of the constituent states of the United States officially designate themselves Commonwealths: Kentucky,[1] Massachusetts,[2] Pennsylvania,[3] and Virginia.[4]

Mike it is very interesting that you would know that and we would not. But again, those are all states east of the Mississippi which nobody really cares about anyway.

Actually when it is written as one word it does not imply that it is a fish. Silverfish is not a fish. Silver Fish are.

Dragonfly, butterfly, …are not flies. House Fly, Horse Fly,….are.


I think West Virginia has become a state since the War of Southern Submission.

I'm well aware of that, but I'm also well aware of numerous examples...as i'm sure you are, too. Doesn't change anything about the meaning of my point. As I've always said, analogies are always suspect.

I'm a penguin. That sucks. I hate cold weather. I'd rather be a roach so I could crawl up the nose of people I don't like when they are asleep. (Thank for Mr. Breathed for that imagery.)

How do you have a war of submission? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

We call it the civil war, although there doesn't seem to be much that was civil about it, I'm still amazed at how many people died in that war.
