[QUOTE="Robert High Hawk, post: 1107477, member: 12429"] Funny you say that. RooshV himself just had an article where he argued that it's the opposite. I would tend to agree with him since Puerto Rico's culture has been increasingly corrupted by the worst aspects of materialism and vapidity. Just as we see huge debt problems now in the US, by the way. Either way this particular point we may never agree on and I'm happy to respectfully disagree. As for my statement, like it or not, Puerto Rico has been a US territory longer than certain states have existed. There are more Puerto Ricans in the USA than there are in Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican legal and judicial code is the same as the US as well as a host of other similarities. Puerto Rican participation in the Armed Forces is significant, and to my knowledge they serve quite well - that deficit alone would not be made up easily since the Armed forces are already struggling to fill with qualified candidates. I think granting increasing sovereignty to Puerto Rico, such that the state gets less and less affiliated legally, but not economically (assuming it's actually a free/fair trade setup, not based on aid), as well as maintaining a Military presence there with Puerto Ricans being able to serve, would be a good way to maintain relations. That plan may be totally wrong, but it's some sort of idea on how to move forward. Danny Alberta also laid out a pretty good set of steps. I sincerely welcome differing well thought out opinions on this matter. [/QUOTE]
