**DrunkN** · 08-11-2008, 12:07 PM

name something that blows in your country or state.

Here in South Dakota, there are only two seasons: Winter and Road Construction.

New York has the highest cost of living out of the 50 states.

**Tails** · 08-11-2008, 02:03 PM

Nohio.

**marxxx** · 08-11-2008, 02:08 PM

here in washinton, it rains. a lot. a hell of a lot.

**Timber Wolf** · 08-11-2008, 02:17 PM

In Florida it comes in 5 variaties; hot & pissy, Hotter & Pissier, DAMN IT'S HOT!, I'M MELTING into the TARMAC!!!!!, and Swampland

**TNTisKING** · 08-11-2008, 03:45 PM

In Michigan we have the worst economy out of the 50 states and one of the highest unemployment rates. Also we have a governer who has no idea what she is doing. And the Lions suck.

**oasis** · 08-11-2008, 04:09 PM

Umm california we have the governator

@timberwolf me and my wife either want to move to either australia or florida just because of the conditions... we love it.

**Kong** · 08-11-2008, 04:47 PM

Hawaii has the highest unemployment rate. Who would want to work if they lived there?

I've been to around 40 states. I live in NC now. No complaints. And CA was great too. I wasn't too impressed with the other states.

I am thinking of moving to New Zealand for a year or two. They speak English, have a great climate, rank high on quality of living and air reports, rank low on cost of living reports, and looks like Middle Earth.

Crappy things about my country - foreign policy, faith in market pressures' ability to fix nearly everything, and corporate control of the political system.

**oasis** · 08-11-2008, 04:49 PM

@kong New Zeland was middle earth ;D so you will be my neighbor again when we move to australlia.

**Tails** · 08-11-2008, 04:52 PM

@Kong: I gotta agree I would be slacking if I was in Hawaii. :P

**V ideoY3K** · 08-11-2008, 05:00 PM

I'm from West Virginia. I always hated how the rest of the US sees us as a bunch of hillbillies, hicks, & rednecks.
We're nothing like that. Geez!

@Kong: I don't the people who comes to Hawaii for being slackers? I would to if I was there.
I like to visit there at least once in my life.

**Timber Wolf** · 08-11-2008, 05:16 PM

lol, you forgot about Hawaii's ice problem, biggest producer of Crystal Meth in the states, and Austrailia>>>Florida, I would love to go to Austrailia, but I can't stand this place, it's like a hell to me. for what punishment don't know(past life may-be? :P)

That was the only bad thing I could think of about my state. I would not want to live in any other state except maybe Vermont.

Just "Jer" is fine, ty.

Yes, you have to register to the site. It's interesting though as they go in-depth into your personality traits. It just so happens that I have an extreme personality. Who would have guessed? :P

Actually I don't think the test is capable of pegging me down because of my manic bi-polar disorder. I took it on one of my down swings. I think I'll try on an up swing to see how different they are.

i live in Florida also. i don't complain about the heat. but it is hot. but the two crappy-est things about Florida is hurricane season and the dramatic change of temperature here during winter. 2 years ago Tallahassee got down to 17 degrees and in Broward county it got down to 28 degrees. I'm not used to that

lol, I don't think it's ever gotten "cold" per-say in FL, but I've lived in places that it's warmer to get in your freezer than it is out-side, as it seem's many people here are

**TNTisKING** · 08-11-2008, 11:33 PM

Yeah, the thing I think I love about Michigan most (although I guess it applies to all the midwest states) is that you really get to experience all the seasons, and it never really gets too extreme.

**Dudebro** · 08-11-2008, 11:42 PM

To the people who want to live in Australia-
How do you feel about the way they censor games and other media? Like how GTA is auto banned before it's even released. A game like ManHunt I can understand since it's really a murder sim but GTA being one of the most popular games in recent history it's just silly to ban it.
There's alot more...
Fallout 3 is already banned(it's not out for a couple months)
Alladin(the movie! really? wtf?)
Alien(all the movies)
American Pie
Anchor man(!!!)
E.T.(because people held guns and used the word terrorist, they had to change the guns to walkietalkies and change terrorist to hippie

)
Evil Dead
Mad Max
Most of the banned movies/games have to be cut or altered to fit the standards.

I could go on and on but I won't bore people with a huge list of stupidity. Basically anything the government deems too violent/overly sexual(even if it's just normal sex) or any relation to drug use/other illegal activities.
So basically if you like horror movies/mature video games/anything that shows normal human sexuality or any illegal drug use you need to download it secretly and not share it under fear of the law.
The US may have alot of flaws but Australia is worse. They have more banned media than all the muslim countries. Even China bans less stuff, this from a country that basically banned Google.

This makes me mad because I was considering moving to Australia some day until I heard about how moronic thier government is.

About my State/Country, I hate how in Massachusetts it's just assumed that everyone will vote democrat. If you're republican or anything else you don't count. Sounds like I'm just exaggerating but it's true. Take it from someone who's lived here for years.

In the US I hate how our justice system is a joke. They lock up non violent offenders for stuff like possesion of weed and ruin thier lives. But yet I hear about drunk drivers getting caught more than 5 times and still getting out and doing it again. How's that fair?

Let's see, crappy things about Washington state....

1) As marxxx already mentioned, the rain.
2) The sports teams are terrible.
3) It seems a lot of people think we're in Canada or Alaska.
4) The government around here is really stupid.
5) I have to pay a toll to leave the Kitsap Peninsula.

**Timber Wolf** · 08-12-2008, 10:10 AM

your not in Canada

lol :P
I do have to agree with Dudebro, our Justuce system needs to be re-built ground-up, including re-instating the death penalty
