What about Guam? They have been Part of America for over 100 years! or Saipan,

Didn't Guam only become American territory after WW II? Prior to that it was a Japanese possession. And before WW I it was a German colony.

No. Not a red state. Asians are thoroughly used to the idea that the government is going to be tyrannical and/or corrupt so you vote for the clan, preferably your own clan, that will give you the most stuff or will give your clan or ethnic group the most privileges and the most government jobs so that some of the corruption can be funneled back home.

"I have hopes and prayers that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will flood into the country and people will be saved."

The Philippines is nearly 95% Christian, already.

The Healing Power of Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Juices, plus other ways to strengthen the immune system and deal with infections.

Do you really think we need that many Democrat senators? Yes, PR is run by a nominal Republican Party but it would not send any sort of Conservatives to the Senate. Its Republican Senators would be effectively Democrats like Boehner and McConnell.

No You are thinking of Saipan, that is their history.

The USA took Guam from Spain the the Spanish-American War in 1898.

Then it became a U.S. Territory and the Locals Achieved U.S. Citizenship after WW2.

“57 States” was a slip reference to the 57 Moslem nations in the world. I am sure that the kenyan would like to make the Phillipines 58th state on that list.

They marry early there, told me a Filipina, I used to know, grandmother at 39, whose own grandmother was still living.

Works for me.

I probably won’t go there.

I have a house there and yes there is grinding poverty there in some places. Other spots are quite nice. Regardless, in all places the people are great. Very hardworking, friendly, and hospitable to a fault.

You should go. I think you might change your mind.
