<< 1) South Carolina >>


I hated living in that state. For the 8 years that I lived there I was known as "Damn Yankee" all because I was originally from New Jersey. Well I taught them there lesson. When they called me "Damn Yankee" I responded with: "Yeah we kicked your @ss once, and we will do it again."

Hawaii is one of the worst AND best to live in.

Some people absolutely hate it (Island Fever) . . . others wouldn't dream of anywhere else.

Cali is another state that gets both my votes. Awesome AND Overcrowded.

I think "best/worst" is all a state of mind. Home is where you hang your hat (heart).

Well, maybe i'm a bit biased because i live here :) Also, i think Boston is one of the nicest cities in the country. The suburbs in Eastern Mass is quite nice though.. dunno about Western Mass. though, but i imagine it's probably gloomy.

i am from NC. i moved to Ohio when I was 8. all the good people up there called me and my family the Beverly Hillbillies. they would ask us if we had dirt floors, and if people down south wore shoes.

It goes both ways.

I'm from NC, and I think it's one of the better state...with the exception of oral sex being against the law.

States I dislike,

Ohio
South Carolina
New Jersey
Texas

Edit: Can't forget Texas....I don't really dislike Texas as much as I do Texans. :)

iIt's really expensive to live here and it's hard to decide what stinks more, the weather or Boston Harbor

worst:

#new york (damn yankees, and i'm not talking about the basebal team)
#cali (this state is the capital for socialism in america, need i say more)
#Tennessee (i can't help it, i hate em)


best:

#florida (who cares if they can't vote, the weather is nice)
#kentucky(what kind of dick won't vote for his own state)
#i guess i'll say south carolina because that yank dogged em before. myrtle beach is quite a nice place.



don't get offended by my choices, you asked the question. no state is bad, and this is just trying to start a flame war.


also, i knew someone from maryland at my school and we always referred to him as "yank". and introduced him by saying, "even if hes a yank". he was never angered by it.





again, i gave three for my votes for best states but actually, i've only ever lived in KY so i just threw em out there.

I've been living in NJ for close to a year now, and I dont like it that much. Car insurance costs a bundle, property is expensive, pollution is rampant, the air smells, the New Jersey Turnpike is expensive and congested, etc.

I enjoyed my time when I was in Delaware, property is quite cheap, no sales tax on anything, close enough to Philly that you could go there if you get bored.

I also like the Washington, DC metro area, I was raised in suburban Maryland, so I am biased of course, but I think it's a great place to live.

Lived in Kentucky for a long while. Loved it but the real paying jobs were down in here in NC (not anymore, I'm afraid).

But I'd have to say, on a daily basis, the best is the Inebriated state.

Out of the ten states I've lived in the worst three (in order) are:

1) Louisiana
2) Florida
3) Virginia

The Best:

1) Alaska
2) Upstate New York
3) California

Louisiana sucked hard! Hot, flat, and trashy. People there don't seem to know how to use a trashcan or litterbag and there is litter EVERYWHERE. I've never lived in a state in which people didn't seem to take any pride in it's appearance. No offense to any fellow AT'ers in Louisiana; if you're not a slob you are in a minority there.

Alaska is the most beautiful state I've lived in and the last one I will ever move to. I felt like I had come home as soon as I arrived. This is where I will live, die and be buried!

My uncle moved down there, and when he gets called a "damn yankee", he responds with "what do you call a damn yankee who has been in the south for more than 3 days? Boss."
