When the hell are we going to get Compusa here in Pocatello, Idaho? I know it's hick town USA, but Wal-Mart isn't cutting it. I want Circuit City, Best Buy...

Ricky Martin can pick up a Radeon 9800 Pro for you, for a small price... You have to listen to Livin la vida loca for 5 days straight, even while you sleep.

u have done your homework well.........
but going back to the cards, no card after all for me.
theres was a guy here in the forums that pm me, told me about a bvg(best value guarantee) on Amex cards, he told me he needed the ad, maybe for tomorrow I will have it, not sure....cause Amex matches the price on same items purchased withl Amex if u found the same item before 60days after your purchase at a lower price.....I think im late for helping him out,......but there will be others Compusa open in a couple of months so I am expecting similar deals on those cards.Right now Im looking for a Amex (I have visas, mastercards, never a Amex(americanexpress))so i should be ready when the next stores open here....hope the same deals are done.cya all.

Thanks.

Anyway, that's too bad about the cards. I find that, even if I get off of work at 6am (I work nights), and drive directly to compusa, I will never get there in enough time to be one of the lucky few to get these deals. I need to get someone who works there to "shelf" one somewhere for me.

Virginia is a commonwealth too, you dolt. We're still part of the country, as are the other 3 commonwealths as well as PR and Guam, which for federal purposes are classified as outlying territories.

Ok, then Virginia isn't part of the US either.
Do we need a passport to go to Virginia?


Obviously a very good example of how fvcked up the government is, and everything associated with governments, and it's naming.


And I DID say it's not a part of the US as in a STATE. When PR starts paying taxes and has legal representation in our government (re: the ability to actually vote on issues), then they will truly be a part of the United States, and we can then truly say that we have 51 States.


RTFM

commonwealth

n 1: the official name of some states in the United States (Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and Virginia and Kentucky) and associated territories (Puerto Rico) 2: a politically organized body of people under a single government; "the state has elected a new president" [syn: state, nation, country, land, res publica, body politic] 3: a political system governed by the people or their representatives [syn: democracy, republic] [ant: autocracy]

You do know that Washington D.C. is not a state and therefore does not have Congressmen who can vote, Right?

PR is a territory of the United States, not an actual state. So, it's not a state in the Union. A 51st state would be nice, but the people of PR have to vote themselves into it. As of now, they get all the benefits of being a part of the US, but aren't actually a state, just a territory, much like Kansas was at one time.

I just read up, commonwealth yes, but about the other states, that have commonwealth in the title, are not the same as PR, they are actual states in the union with congressmen who have a voice and vote.

Like I said before, the government is weird, but still one of the best in the world.
