Which is the worst US state?

Minnie_the_Minx:

Aurora's not much, to be honest - a 'burb between the absolutely massive Denver International Airport and the city of Denver. The nearby mountains, however, are stunning, and I hear great things about nearby Boulder (I've never spent time there, though I hope to do so some time soon).

Where is Midway Island?

***

And, yes, there are HUGE cockroaches in Texas, I imagine, because I have seen HUGE cockroaches in Arizona, which isn't too far away.

k_s - Disneyland is in California, Disneyworld is in Florida.

I've never been to the Keys or the Everglades, but they're supposed to be fantastic places. I went to Amelia Island as a child and I remember it being gorgeous.

Mississippi is my state, born & raised...I'll talk it up to anyone. I love Louisiana as well, especially southern Louisiana.

I'd have to say that my least favorite is probably Kentucky...I have some family there, so I had to go there a good bit as a kid...There is nothing there; boring as hell...Or Arkansas, but that's only because everyone hates Arkansas and its people.

I really want to go to Louisville one day. The Actor's Theater of Louisville is there as are some members of Rachel's, a fantastic band.

All them MidWest and Southern States look horendous.

 

[selamlar]

South Carolina (i think)

Although this may possibly be Georgia

I know some people from Louisville; I don't like them...

 

[Bernie Gunther]

On the basis of my limited experience, about 10%, then I'd say Texas.

A more horrible shithole I've never seen, nor want to ever see again, than Houston, and I've been to Middlesbourgh and have relatives in Ellsmere Port.

I've been to Louisville: it was ok, kind of nondescript. I liked the small towns of southern indiana better.

 

[MikeMcc]

Only seen a bit of it, there may be nicer areas, but I would say New Jersey. A depressing, polluted, over industrialised shite-hole of a place.

I have family in northern Indiana. It was ok...I've never really spent much time in southern...I love small towns though. I just like to meet the locals.

I thought northern Indiana, like on the Lake, is a, er, a bit of a hole.

Gary is scary.

Nebraska should be on the list, it's shit boring, flat, full of crops and the only topics of conversation are farming and gridiron.

But great girls for some reason. I lived there for about six months and liked it. We used to talk about music and PBR vs MOS.

I dislike Idaho a lot but my pet hate though is VERMONT...the twee state. It's a rural idyll version of San Francisco hippy shit. New Hampshire should invade.

 

[Jessica]

My family lives in Valparaiso...We always had fun there, nice lakes and such to go boating in the summer. I hate the accents there though.

 

[8ball]

Florida - the redneck Riviera.

 

[BCB]

North Dakota

Accent? What accent? I don't have an accent.


(It is kinda flat and monotone, isn't it.)

A friend of my wife's recently went for a job interview in Arkansas. They asked her a few "personality"-type question, like "What is your favorite movie."

They also asked her: "If you had to kick one state out of the United States, which one would it be?"

Personally, i think that people from Arkansas shouldn't ask that question unless they're prepared for an answer they don't like.

Didn't realize you lived in northern Indiana.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Didn't realize you lived in northern Indiana.

I don't. Valpraiso, Nebraska is about an hour north of Lincoln.

Oh: I thought she meant this.

There's a lot of that in the States. We have a Waco, York, and Norfolk too.

...while we have New Denver.

Have any of you read or seen Valparaiso by Don DeLillo?

I did...they're accent is kind of nasally...

I wish this was a public poll so I could see who put Mississippi...

 

[ashnikes]

South Carolina by far, they just passed a bill that prevents homosexuals from obtaining legal custody of children, fly a rebel flag over their state capital building, segregate thier public schools, and they have been debating the pro-life por-choice issues, constantly changing the laws back and forth for both since the ice age. SC gets my vote as worst fing state on the face of the planet.

 

[rennie]

Kansas. it's flat and there's fuck all.

 

[Kenny Vermouth]

Alaska for me, couldn't be arsed with a place like that.
