Now I'm not saying America is the best country in the world, but it is. That's not really what this thread is about, though.
In the past 18 years, I've lived in five very different states, driven across the country numerous times (in the driver's seat), been in probably around 40 states, and met people from the northwest, the midwest, the deep south; basically, people of every kind. And the funny thing is, people get awfully different across this country.
This country gets awfully different across this country, too.
When my girlfriend (from Burlington) and I were driving here, she was absolutely astounded to see religious billboards on the side of the highway in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. She was also surprised to hear that in New Mexico, we don't really have lakes. Or trees. Personally, when I went to New York I was fucking amazed by how many trees there were, as well as by how fucking developed the land over there is.
So, guys, this is the America thread. Regional differences, different landscapes, different parts of the country. Why do you live where you do? Why is the northwest so much better than the midwest? Why do you prefer the south over New England?
Personally, I'm looking at moving to the northwest for school, and I realize that's like the one place I've never been. I don't know what it's like. So tell me about Portland - is it as cool as everyone 18-24 says it is, or is that a crock of shit? What's it like to live there.

out, out, get back in that hellhole of a thread you inhabit
you made your bed, now sleep in it
America is like rock and roll cowboys with motorcycles all of the time
yes, Burlington Vermont.
Teefs, at least spoil the images; you're being a whole new kind of obnoxious by just throwing enormous irrelevant image after enormous irrelevant image in here.
only really seen California
(and enough of Chicago to know that it is a horrible hell-hole)
Okay seriously. fuck this chart. There are so many goddamn things it doesn't take into account. Also, keep this shit out of this thread you are already bringing down another thread with it. Or take it to D&D.
Also RE: the actual topic.
The midwest sucks. Fuck the midwest. Aside from Chicago or something.
Florida has a god awful education system.
I want to move to Seattle or portland or something after college. The pacific northwest rocks.
you should go on a sweet road-trip sometime
it's absolutely astounding how diverse the contiguous United States can get
that's right

Why do you have to be so big, America
why
haha, really? My girlfriend has lived in Burlington her entire life and I spent a week there back in March, all walking on Church Street, all eating at Ben and Jerries.
we got whitey's ice cream and harris pizza and hungry hobo and happy joe's and that's just the food places
you can live on a fuckin' river, it's like living near the coast only it doesn't smell as bad and the people are smarmy pricks!

but now that I am gonna be checking out a school in Portland, I want to go visit and see how things are. Maybe I'll fall in love with it; I still am undecided on the east, where I've spent the last 10 months. I like it, but I don't think I'm ever going to live in upstate New York.
I've lived in Mississippi, Alaska, Florida, and Indiana, in that order.
Indiana is so fucking boring. I mean it might beat out places like Texas or Nevada but there is nothing but fucking corn and cows here. And soybeans. Wal-mart is a big hangout place for most cities in Indiana. Nothing even approaching a mountain or ocean either. Two huge strikes against it!
they're entirely different kinds of pricks!
but does it smell like salt and poo?
Crazy we probably walked by each other or something. How did you guys meet?
