What State do you Hate the Most???

[The Sushi Bandit]

This is sure to piss off someone!

[BlueIris]

1. Mississippi--apparently, they think it's 1910.

Need to end a pregnancy? Screw you. Need contraceptives to prevent pregnancy? Screw you. Need not to be raped? Screw you. Need the police and the D.A.s to investigate and prosecute your attackers? Screw you. The reason? You're a woman, you're not entitled to any rights. Don't like it? Move, dumb bitch.

I can't believe a state like that exists in the modern world in this country.

[Rowdyboy]

23. Abortion is under attack in all 50 states, to one degree or another....

I have no idea why you think its so much worse here than in South Dakota, Idaho or Oklahoma but I assure you that it isn't particularly difficult in Mississippi. There is only one abortion clinic in the state (in Jackson, the capitol) but I understand thats also not uncommon in much of the farm belt, midwest. Restrictions here are certainly no worse than in many other rural states. My female friends don't feel particularly mistreated or imposed upon.

But we all have our prejudices...

I'll admit Mississippi is not in the vangard of women's rights but it certainly doesn't deserve the horror and condemnation your post inspires.

[Shell Beau]

53. Actually there is more than one abortion clinic here in Jackson.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

35. And yet a surprising number of women live there

Go figure. :shrug:

[Shell Beau]

60. Yeah, me being one of them.

Unfounded BS!

[Shell Beau]

54. I don't know where you get your info. I am a woman and

live in Mississippi. And all of your info is really unfounded. :mad:

[The Sushi Bandit]

2. Its a tie between Texas and New York

but Oklahoma is pretty suck-ie too.

[bigwillq]

4. Why New York?

:shrug:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

61. Both Texans and New Yorkers suffer from extreme arrogance.

"Everything is better from (insert either Texas or New York)!"

No, it isn't. Fuck you.

[KitchenWitch]

3. The state of confusion

[uppityperson]

10. Confusion.

(you have faster fingers and thoughts than me today)

[KitchenWitch]

14. LOL

:hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. I'm gonna say Florida

Really only because of the 2000 election

[jobycom]

6. That state you get in when you find out the girl you loved in high school

divorced the man who won her, and was looking for you at exactly the time you were splitting up from your spouse, but couldn't find you and remarried...

I hate that one. I don't hate any geographic states. I used to hate all northern states. I still look at them with suspicion and fear, but they vote good, at least. They just are too self-righteous, sometimes.

[LostInAnomie]

7. TEXAS!!!

They are the only state that can legally secede. Why the hell haven't we been pushing them in that direction?

[StellaBlue]

12. That's not true.

Misconception. We do have the right to divide into five states (which would give us a whopping TEN senators all together, imagine that!), but we cannot secede. Not legally, anyway.

"The annexation resolution has been the topic of some incorrect historical beliefs—chiefly, that the resolution was a treaty between sovereign states, and granted Texas the explicit right to secede from the Union. This was a right argued by some to be implicitly held by all states at the time, and until the conclusion of the Civil War. However, no such right was explicitly enumerated in the resolution. The resolution did include two unique provisions: first, it gave the new state of Texas the right to divide itself into as many as five states with approval of its legislature. Texas retains this right today. Second, Texas did not have to surrender its public lands to the federal government. While Texas did cede all territory outside of its current area to the federal government in 1850, it did not cede any public lands within its current boundaries. This means that generally, the only lands owned by the federal government within Texas have actually been purchased by the government."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Texas

Not only is wiki correct in this case, but I used to be a tour guide at the Texas State Capitol and Governor's Mansion (1998-2001 - go on, ASK!), and I endorsed this message.

[LostInAnomie]

15. It still would be nice if they would try.

Real nice.

[StellaBlue]

16. I know you've seen it, but... I couldn't resist

This is so perfect. If all the f*cking red states seceded, I would move to 'Canada' in a second. Hell, I would move to regular Canada, anyway! If I could!

[johnnie]

26. Any state can secede

As for Texas, I would think, that any treaty they had before they seceded would be null and void after coming back.

[Initech]

8. Florida

To quote Homer Simpson - "It's America's wang!!!"

[hippywife]

9. The one I find myself living in these days...

Oklie Homlie. Ugh!

[mtowngman]

30. current state of the union n/t

[arwalden]

11. It's A Tie... Virginia or Kansas

[LearnedHand]

13. Texas: Where they'll FRY your ass soon as look at you

n/t

[BlueJazz]

17. Hey..Damn it! ..How about getting some votes for Ohio!

Christ..I'm in Liberal St Petersburg Florida and Florida (as of now) has 5 votes and Shit-Crooked Ohio has none.

Waaaaa!

[mtnester]

24. There, since I live in the most corrupt state in the US, I proudly cast

my ballot for Ohio. Guess you gotta live here.

On edit - BTW if you ever find a pair of expensive sunglasses in any type of fish from the intercoastal by John's Pass, they belong to ME!

[BlueJazz]

27. Oh..So those were Yours? Well..they were not exactly IN the Fish..

..I mean, the fish was wearing them but he looked pretty damn cool! :)

[mtnester]

29. I even had them on a rope around my neck and they STILL flew off when I

was jet skiing in stupidly choppy water.

PISSED me off for days!

[realisticphish]

40. at least

we try to get RID of OUR corrupt politicians :evilgrin:

and i'm in liberal columbus ;)

[Dukkha]

18. Utah

Biggest douche in the Union! The land itself is beautiful but most of the occupants are Morans.

[XemaSab]

33. Agreed 100%

One of the MOST beautiful states, but God forbid the gub'mint should try to create a new national park or monument to protect it in perpetuity. While it's okay to marry 17 women and have 60 kids and have them all on government welfare.

(But the same can be said for any red state: trash the same government that pays your way)

And remember folks: Texas and Alabama both have counties that are more liberal than San Francisco!!!!

[Arkana]

19. Kansas--or Texas.

To the DUers from either state--I have nothing against you guys. Honest. Really.

But Texas is on my shit list because of the fact that their Republicans bash "Massachusetts libruls" with such ferocity that I want to vomit. You guys gave us Ann Richards, Sam Rayburn and Lyndon Johnson, though, so you're not completely without merit.

Kansas--guys, what is wrong with that state? Sure, Gov. Sebelius is a Dem, but that's about all you've got going for you. Is it 1910 there?

[Sanity Claws]

20. Texas -- the state that gave us the bushes

Reason enough to despise it.

[jobycom]

62. Actually, Connecticut gave us the Bushes. They invaded Texas. nt

[brentspeak]

21. I'm proud of my Texas & other Red State Democratic brothers & sisters

You live in crazy times in otherwise great American states.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :yourock:

[obxhead]

22. VA...

The other Texas...

[Blue_Tires]

25. North Carolina, no question

Tejas a close second

[cynatnite]

28. New York

They've got everything and while here in TN all we've got is country music and tobaccer :P

[RagingInMiami]

31. Arizona

And that's only because I lived there for five years on two different occassions and in two different locations, the Phoenix area and Tucson.

I hated the summers, the corporate culture and the hypocrisy about illegal immigration, i.e., the fact how everybody is drawn to the state because of cheap housing, but once they get there, they never stop bitching about the Mexicans.

If it weren't for the Mexican construction workers who worked for pennies to build homes during the 1990s boom, there would have been no cheap housing.

[RevCheesehead]

32. Democracy.

It's in pretty lousy shape lately.

[Wapsie B]

34. Intoxication.

Well no I guess just the hangover the next morning. As far as a geographical region I don't really hate any of them. So many are purple states and with a little work can be shifted to the Left.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

36. I voted Texas

but neglected to notice Utah. Wish I could call "do-over!"

Meanwhile, I'll sit back here in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia, where state legislators calling themselves Democrat and Senator race each other to be the first to sponsor drop-dead-stupid wingnut laws like declaring that a blastocyst can be a victim of a crime, while at the same time rejecting laws that would protect already born people who might happen to be gay.

Guess we dodged a bullet on this one! :woohoo:

[liberaltrucker]

37. I don't hate any State, but

the worst drivers are in Florida.

[donheld]

38. Texas -- Damn I wish I didn't feel the way I do

but I do.

[realisticphish]

39. I would say michigan

but hey, they're liberal, and the UP is cool.

and NMU students kick ass

so i'll go with texas

[Abelman]

41. Why would you even think that?

You're damn right we are!

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

42. Well, I don't hate any state in particular. I think there are decent

people in all 50 states, but if I had to pick one I'm least likely to visit, I'd have to say either Mississippi, or Alaska. How can they keep re-electing that loon Ted Stevens?

[driver8]

43. Ohio! Ohio! Ohio! (Closely followed by Florida)

No offense to any residents of these two states, but these two states are fucked up!

[MrScorpio]

44. Oh, God yes, Texas

[Xipe Totec]

45. Sobriety n/t

[HughBeaumont]

46. Tie between Duh HIGH Ah and Tex-us.

More so Duh HIGH Ah because these people are backwards (and backwoods). 19% approval rating, but vote against voting reform because that same idiot guberner opposes it.

I say we break the northeast and eastern crescent and the island of Franklin County off of this sewer and let the Red Sea inbreed with InDIEaner and Kaintuck.

[Bridget Burke]

47. None.

Every state has good points & bad points. Good people & bad.

Although all those rectangular states in the middle of the country are a bit hard to tell apart.

How many people who HATE a state have actually been there? And did they do more than hang out in some godawful suburb?

[Mizmoon]

48. Clearly it's Hawaii

because I don't live there, dammit!

[Seabiscuit]

49. Alaska, Texas and California are BIG targets. But somehow,

Texas just seems to draw the disgust of the rest of the country like a magnet.

[GOPisEvil]

50. Yay!!!! More Texas-bashing!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

[Callalily]

51. Ohio . . .

need I say more!!!

[Midlodemocrat]

52. Um, wondering why anyone would 'hate' a state?

It is an abstract....shouldn't be the recipient of anyone's loathing for cryin' out loud.


:eyes:

[peekaloo]

55. Denial.

:eyes:

[Shell Beau]

56. I see this as flamebait. I also don't see the point.

[dr.strangelove]

57. I got a speeding ticket in Rhode Island once

so I will go with the little state. I really have no reason to hate any, so I will go with the only state to give me a ticket. Of course, I was speeding, so I'm not sure it makes sense to hate a state for punishing me when I was wrong. Okay, I take it back. I don't hate Rhode Island. I can't think of any state I hate.

[afdip]

58. texas is where faulkner always sent characters who fucked up in

yoknopatawpha county.

[rbnyc]

59. I don't hate any states.

But I hate the policies in many states. And I hate horrible corrupt things that have happened in many states.

[Rabrrrrrr]

63. Illinois or Michigan - both are total wanker states, filled with wankers

And some good DUers, too, of course, but mostly ignorant wankers who are best left within their own borders, especially the FIBs. Fuckers.

[Pithlet]

64. locking

This is flamebait.
