For Oregon Trail

Because we just do ? What a weird question.

Don't hate. They gave us the best school game ever, for that, they have my eternal love.

Same reason that we have a ridiculous number of states: The founding fathers were born well before Demography and population dynamics and thought setting the baseline for state-formation at 60,000 people was fine. (Either that or anti-federalists made sure it was low to curtail the influence of federal power, but that's a whole other discussion I don't feel like participating in.)

Because you were born.

I have to agree with Loki. The "Oregon Trail" game is the only logical reason to have the state.

 

Let's face it: "Idaho Trail" would be boring as hell.

Thanks guys! But i mean't organs...

Because they carry out life functions and are essential to staying alive?

 

I don't follow.

Is this a serious question?

I thought the thread title was a set up to a bad joke.

 

Turns out I am even more disappointed than I expected.

sort of...i guess so.

Don't hate on Idaho! I go to BYU-Idaho for school and I come from California, Oregon, and Utah. Got the west coast covered.

Because we can? Would you like less territory for the US?

Three reasons to love Oregon

 

1. During the course of World War II, the Japanese had launched more than 9,000 balloons equipped with fire bombs into the Pacific jet stream with the hopes that they would land in the United States and start forest fires. One balloon landed near Bly, Oregon and was inadvertently triggered by a child who found it. The resulting explosion killed that child, four others, and an adult female. These were the only people to die during World War II due to enemy action on the mainland of the United States.

 

2. Oregon is the only state that has an official state nut, the hazelnut. In fact, Oregon grows 98% of the hazelnuts in the United States. This hazelnut, also known as a filbert, was first introduced to Oregon via early French settlers. If you know someone from Oregon, tell them they are nuts.

 

3. The city of Portland, Oregon is nicknamed "The city of Roses" due to having an abundance of rose gardens throughout the city. If you visit the International Rose Test Garden you can view over 9,000 roses in a four acre area.

Still doesn't explain why we have organs?

Woot woot Portland! I live in Vancouver Washington, which isn't that far from Portland, and man it's soooo fun to go to hang out!

Keep Portland Weird!

This is a kingdom hearts forum.

The heart is an organ.

Why would you question why we have a heart if you know about kingdom hearts?!
