My bias runs like this:
All Western States are good. California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado. Not sure where Texas fits in here, but I like Texas too. I like the Southern States, Arkansas, MS, LA, FLA, GA, NC, SC, Kentucky, Tennessee. Beautiful scenery, Great Smoky Mountains, the weather usually isn't too frigid. Okay, Florida is flat and humid, but it has beaches. And Disneyworld. The rest of them are meh. Northeast? Too cold, too liberal. Midwest? Not enough mountains, too cold. A completely biased opinion, not to be taken seriously!

When I was in the Navy, I had a guy from New Jersey ask me if there were hitching posts outside of the stores here in Ks... I grew up in Olathe, just a short hop south of KC. But I told him yes, and the nice thing about horses is no matter how drunk I get, they always know the way home!
 I also told him I had never seen indoor plumbing until I joined the Navy. And I thought toilet paper was the most amazing invention ever! After all, all we had was catalogs.... I wish I had thought about indian attacks, I totally would have used that!!
ETA: He wasn't joking either, he was completely serious. |

I did some of my growing-up in Kansas. It's not a bad place, but my experiences there have tainted the name for me.

Texas is split between being 'southern' and being 'southwestern'. Sometimes we get confused and roll up fried chicken in tortillas, because we have both on hand.

I have driven across Kansas half a dozen times. The drivers there aren't bad at all. They know how to do road construction there too. You slow down a few miles per hour on the interstate and move to the other lane. They could teach Nevada how it's done. Here you have to wait for a pilot car to lead you past it, and they can legally hold you up at a stop for a half hour.
I'll be passing through there again in a few months. I always enjoy the part of the trip through Kansas. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I find it amusing when the locals in an area get butthurt about outsiders telling them that it sucks there. There's no need for that. So what? Who cares what someone else thinks? There is a lot of California-bashing on ARF and as a native of California, I just wave it off. If someone vows to never visit California, more power to them, it won't hurt my feelings one bit. Someone else not appreciating it doesn't mean that all the things I love about California are not valid. If I hate some other place, then I'm allowed to feel that way. It shouldn't take anything away from the people who love it there. They still love what they love and know what they know about why the place is great. So who gives a shit? None of these state threads ever makes a scrap of sense, its all just a bunch of horseshit first these guys claim that their state is beautiful and great and then they make a bunch of random negative comments about other states the things they write are mostly BS they heard from other people, most of it doesn't make any sense then they imply that a bunch of outsiders are desperate to move to their state. "Don't come to Tulsa, Oklahoma, it's full." Okey dokey, I'll see if I can restrain myself. |
