Oklahoma is not flat.

It actually slopes up about three feet from the east border tyo the west border.

Hee hee.

I've done a lot of traveling and the easy choice for #1 is

#1 - Utah. - a scary place.

#2 - Texas. Gun-lusting, obese, and proud-to-be-so state. (I am a gun-owner but these people are just bizarre)

#3 - Oklahoma. Flat and painfully boring. Way too flat.

Yes let's not forget Delaware. So much of flyover is deadly. Louisiana is bad because of the corruption & pollution. Then you have your choice of the other hard core Dixie states.

1. Louisiana - consistently ranked as least safe and lowest quality of life out of all 50 states by Morgan Quitno. Also home to New Orleans, which despite its great music and food has a horrible crime situation; it is often said that if it weren't for the French Quarter, the Big Easy would just be a cesspool with a Superdome. Definitely a lot of racial strain.

2. Michigan - (Sorry GR2NYsoon) Especially the Detroit area. The woes of the automotive industry have left an urban landscape of half-dead or worse industrial cities with plummeting populations, racial tension and high crime. Detroit, despite many notable improvements (many of which were implemented simply through speculation), is one of the most segregated cities in the United States, and for years vied with Saint Louis for the nation's highest crime rate. Urban blight has also spread to the suburbs.

3. New Jersey - Because it's just plain evil :P

And North2South, yes there's plenty of racism all across America. In many cases, such as yours, the Deep South does have a bad, oftentimes undeserved, reputation for racism. Segregation may have been the law in the South, but it was the norm in the North; so the whole nation is to blame for such woes.

Best states:

1. Tie between Vermont and New York. Vermont is just plain gorgeous, and I love snow. New York because though the city does carry a lot of weight, upstate is also home to a diversity of wildlife and outdoorsy activities: hiking, mountain climbing, skiing, etc.

3. New Jersey - Because it's close to New York :P

Im going to make my list soon, but out of 50 states I need to be sure I pick my favorites and least favorites so Ill do it in my next post. But Kevdogg, what do you hate about New Jersey? And you're from Utah right?

least-TENNESSEE, IM NEVER COMING BACK.
The whole southern region. I dont like it. Period.

Most- New York, New Jersey and MASS.

[Gskdmidd]

I'd go with:

1. Mississippi -racism runs rampant, horrible economy
2. Alabama -see Mississippi
3. Ohio - Faceless state IMO. Doesn't have its own identity. Not true rural midwest.

For the 3 most desirable states I'd say:

1. New York - The city carries alot of weight
2. Iowa - Best education in the country, 4 seasons, rolling hills, open spaces, cute little close knit small towns, RIVER TOWNS, the bridges of Madison county and very safe. The perfect anti -aesthetic to NYC.
3. California - Obvious reasons, warm, scantily clad women, more culture than Florida, about every topography imaginable.

I'm anxious to read your lists.

There you go New York Yankee! Thats the way to talk. The south is ok if you are visiting. New York is good. And of course Massachusetts home of the Red Sox.

Now I feel really bad about the things that I'd said about Louisiana -- and New Orleans in particular. I think a lot of it had stemmed from some bitterness over a "philosophical discussion" with someone from Louisiana over the Internet. So I'll retract my statements in their entirety.
