what do you think about Rhode Island?

Since my son just did a project about it, I can tell you it's the smallest state in the U.S., it's not an island but it HAS islands, including Block Island which was possibly the inspiration for the state being named after the Greek Island of Rhodes.\nIt's about 20 miles across, east to west.

Puerto Ricans have rejected US statehood many times.\nThe pros: Better income\nThe cons:Lost of culture,language and national identity.\n\nThe cons are greater than the pros, that is why Puerto Ricans do not want t become the 51 state.

I think Alabama is a beautiful state.\n\nAlabamians are a breed apart.\nI think that they don't like cold weather or high living expenses.  They probably have family or friends who live in Alabama or a good job with Mercedes in Tuscaloosa.  I think they have a predominantly white collar, bible belt, attitude which would lead you to think they were all Republican, and yet they almost always vote Democratic.  I think they will always speak to you if you speak first even if you have a horn growing out of your head, because it would be rude not to.  They will talk simply even if they are as smart as Albert Einstein.  They won't complain in a restaurant even if the meal is absolutely inedible, again it would be rude.  They may hate a sister-in-law but they will never be anything but polite to her.  They call bacon fat "seasoning".  They will pull together and physically rebuild the neighbors house if they think he needs it.  I could go on and on .......

Connecticut. There is so much history all along the coast line to enjoy. The colonial houses are beautiful and quaint, especially in Mystic. I lived in VT for a while and as gorgeous as it was there, I missed the quaint coastline and the ocean. I've never been to the NJ beaches but I hear those are nice too. But I think the history of the area is richer in CT. Also CT has vineyards - that in itself is great!\n\nPlus CT smells better! hahah Everytime we drive to Florida I'm like GEEZZ this state smells funny! And there are many  EPA Superfund toxic waste sites there -there is a reason to not live in NJ right there!\n\nBut I think the real answer is...the best state to live in is the one you grew up in..thus why you love NJ and your friend loves CT. And NJ's Atlantic City is an East Coast classic -  CT doesn't have anything like that. oh yeah- and you have "The Boss" AND Jon Bon Jovi - there are two arguments right there for NJ being better! hahaha

I'm not American but I love a lot of things about traveling there and I do work with Americans. Do I think it's great? Hell, yeah. Do I think it's messed up too? Hell, yeah. Then again people mistake redneck donutheads as speaking for ALL of America.

I think it's a great place to visit.  Beautiful sights, great boating and the residents are very friendly.  If you don't need to live in a big city and if you are o.k. with their weather, then why not...

Why do so many people think it is Rhode Island? Because it is the smallest state geographically? \n \nWyoming is the smallest state in population, per the census of 2000.\n  \nRhode Island ranks 43rd...in other words, seven states are smaller. \n \nTop ten:\n    California                 33,871,648  \n    Texas                      20,851,820  \n    New York                   18,976,457   \n    Florida                    15,982,378  \n    Illinois                   12,419,293  \n    Pennsylvania               12,281,054   \n    Ohio                       11,353,140  \n    Michigan                    9,938,444    \n    New Jersey                  8,414,350    \n    Georgia                     8,186,453  \n\nBottom ten:\n    New Hampshire               1,235,786  \n    Hawaii                      1,211,537   \n    Rhode Island                1,048,319  \n    Montana                       902,195  \n    Delaware                      783,600   \n    South Dakota                  754,844  \n    North Dakota                  642,200    \n    Alaska                        626,932  \n    Vermont                       608,827    \n    Wyoming                       493,782

I like Locke, Sayid, and Henry Gale.\n\nI don't think that the fact that I like Locke and Sayid really need much of an explanation, but a lot of people might wonder why I like Henry Gale.  Well, it's because I think his character has brought an intense amount of interest back into the show for me.  \n\nWhy do I say that...well, because I think there are 3 types of Lost watchers, those that like the hatch/others/island storyline, those that like the backstories, and those that like both.  I used to be a hybrid...that is, I liked both, but this seasons better episodes (at least in my opinion) have been island/others/hatch oriented, and the addition of Henry Gale's character has proven to be a great addition for those of us that are more intrigued by what's happening on the island.\n\nThat's not to say that I don't still enjoy the backstories, last nights Hurley episode was spectacular, but it also tied much more into the island than any other backstories have thus far. \n\nOk, I'll stop rambling now...you probably didn't want that much of an answer.

I liked it there,it's very nice but I would recommend to go down south coz the people are so much nicer than up north.I would also recommend that you try as many specialties that they cook,it's delicious.Have a nice vacation.

Great question.\n\nSome people like Costa Rica for its US ex-pat friendliness and relative stability.\n\nPersonally, I would choose Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.\n\nThey are tropical, beautiful, outside the US both geographically and to some degree politically.\n\nPlenty of work for RN's at the high quality hospitals.\n\nFantastic beaches, incredible sailing - just show up at a marina and volunteer to be "deck meat" moving from side to side as you cruise along the jewelled islands.\n\nAnd you get to keep your US citizenship - the most valuable thing in the world IMHO.

Well, first of all, I would contest that it is; after all, we have a Republican governor. Second of all, it comes in part from why places that are "traditionally" one thing or another stay that way: parents raise thier kids to believe their own opinions, perpetuating those views. Also, Boston is a city of academia, with many institutions of higher learning. Places like this this tend to be more liberal.

The full title is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and actually contains an island called, amazingly, Rhode Island (although the more common name for it is Aquidneck Island). And it's called an island because there's more islands in Rhode Island than there are in Hawaii.
