Talk:International border states

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't Florida and Alaska belong here, on account of their respective sea borders with Cuba and Russia?

Not to mention, Indiana is closer to Canada than Florida to Cuba. Should we count that as "bordering" another country, while we're being liberal with quotation marks? After all, the land journey from Indiana to Canada is far easier than the sea or air journey from Florida to Cuba. Alvis 04:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Does "Border" need to be capitalized? --Fang Aili ^talk 19:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Florida & Alaska sea borders?

Should we include Hawaii for Taiwan? California for China? Oregon & Washington for Japan. Maybe MA for bordering with Great Britain? As far as Territoral waters they only extend 12 nautical miles, so I doubt Cuba, Russia, etc. are within that definition. I think this article should be limited to those states with a physical shared border, no water in between. Aboutmovies 02:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Definition

Sorry. I never heard of border states for anything other than the Civil War. Definitely not these states. When I googled "border states", I got the Civil War states.

Someone has put a lot of work into this, but it is nonsense, in my opinion. It redefines everyone's conception. It should be totally changed to reflect the Civil War definition: Kentucky, Tenessee, etc. The article, as is, should be moved to (sorry) uncyclopedia.Student7 02:53, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
