JCC, I need your help. I would like your opinion as to what you deem the least favorite state you have visited and why? I am trying to prove a point to someone at school and I figured what better source of information is there. As for me, its New Jersey. Parts of it smells weird, and the Jersey Shore scares me. And Go.
Either Indiana- because it's boring- or Virginia- because everyone seems to think that West Virginia is just part of Virginia.
Louisiana. **** you, Bobby Jindal. And Mississippi. And Arkansas. And Georgia. In fact, all of the South. Yankee pride!
arizona. if u dont choose ur own state, u frontin'. they are almost all complete and utter **** and you are only qualified to declare worst the one whose **** you comprehend most intimately unless you live in one of the few good parts like the pacific northwest or something
I live in Virginia and while I realize some of our state leadership is bat - crazy, there's something to be said for living in a state that still retains much of it's beauty. Oh and the the fact that it's sunny and 73 right now helps.
Florida. I live in Texas and will be the first to admit that it has few positive qualities, but Florida is way worst.
Hmm, it seems its time for this thread again (another one will pop up in a few months). As for the question at hand, my answer is Arkansas... no state can come close to match its awfulness.
California. Prop 8, Prop 13, high regressive sales tax, *****y primary and secondary education despite being a rich state, has a tendency to elect incompetent actors to the governorship, has almost an almost universally awful transportation system, contains some of the most bat**** conservative counties in the country (though thankfully demographic shifts are changing that)... I'm just following Rogue's command. I would list more except I suck at typing on my phone.
Agreed on Utah. Physically lovely, nice scones (which are really a type of donutty thing there, but go figure), but other than that, insane. I used to have a T-shirt that said, "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may be in Utah."
I've yet to be in a state I *hate.* Maybe sections of certain states (eastern Montana, cough, although I haven't been thru there since the 60's) but not the entire state. Disclaimer: I have traveled extensively throughout the Pacific NW, California, the southwestern states, New England and parts of the plains.
Illinois. No one likes Illinois, it's ugly, it's full of Illinois drivers and Bears fans, it has toll roads, and it's stuck in the grip of a dysfunctional, massively corrupt party machine. There is nothing to recommend Illinois.
South Carolina. It's hot and humid as hell, religious and Republican. And you can't buy alcohol on Sunday. That's ****ed up. I complain about North Carolina some but I live in a diverse, "blue" city compared to most of the state. I haven't been to Mississippi, Alabama or Louisiana and have no desire to go. Texas at least has Austin, good barbecue and Tex-Mex.
In fairness, that's mostly Southern California. NorCal is kind of like its own state. Really from the Central Coast on up is pretty lovely. The state of Los Angeles/Orange County, though... ugh. San Diego's great, though. I'd have to say Arizona. It's as crazy as Utah, with the added minus that it's really freaking hot. I should note, though, that while I've been to 43 states and Puerto Rico, the ones I haven't been to are mostly in the deep south. So it's very possible one of them is the actual winner.
