Their beaches are sweet, no doubt about it. They were also the first we ever went to that didn't have any threatening sharks or jellyfish. The colour palette on display during sunsets is something to behold.Zhukov said:Well, as far as I can tell from my view from across the Pacifc, the US states along the coasts, especially towards the north, are where all the cool American stuff like the internet and apple pie come from. While the south end mostly produces all the racism and slavery and televangelists.
I'm not sure what's in the middle. Probably farms and stuff.
Eh, fuck it, I'm just going to go with Hawaii. Hawaii seems pretty cool.
From my perspective on the other side of the Atlantic, a US state is usually better the less you hear about it. I can't remember the last time Minnesota came up here in the news, so points to you! It also says right here in my Wikipedia travel guide that you have a high rate of civil participation and voter turnout. Being able to vacation in Canada must be freaking sweet.tippy2k2 said:Minnesota for the win!
We're not stupid hot in the summer like half the states in the union. We get to experience all the seasons (hockey FTW!) and because we deal with all the seasons, our city doesn't just shut down like Atlanta did last year when half an inch of snow fell on it. I can handle major heat AND major cold because we get both. You know what they say, when the Earth has frozen over, Minnesotans will be outside grilling.
Except for a few places that can experience flooding, we have no major natural disaster issues like constant tornados, earthquakes, and hurricanes.
If I ever want to ditch the US, our buddies Canada is a max six hour drive if you're at the very south of the state.
Our biggest weakness has always been sports (we have them but we've always been terrible) but even that is on the up and up with all of our teams looking pretty good with young talent coming in.
Sounds like Nevada then? We got Vegas after all. Not only that but we have a nice chunk of lake Tahoe and some of the best Ski slopes in the country.Queen Michael said:A state of complete and utter inebriation.
I'd vote for Minnesota purely because I imagine everyone talks like they're in Fargo. It's sort of adorable.tippy2k2 said:Minnesota for the win!

The west coast is also home to a lot of powerful companies that like to throw their weight around. I'd only recommend vacationing there.Zhukov said:Well, as far as I can tell from my view from across the Pacifc, the US states along the coasts, especially towards the north, are where all the cool American stuff like the internet and apple pie come from.

Considering how broad the question is, I'll 2nd this answer.Queen Michael said:A state of complete and utter inebriation.
From Hawaii. Can confirm.Zhukov said:Eh, fuck it, I'm just going to go with Hawaii. Hawaii seems pretty cool.
I think Texas has the worst drivers. Their aggressive and they drive big things, which is a bad combination, and they don't get much bad weather. When they DO get bad weather, from heavy ran to a light snow flurry, the highways turn into bumper car rallies, where every fifth vehicle is a truck of some kind, some of which may outweigh your car by several tons.Imperioratorex Caprae said:Just beware the roads because we seem to get the country's worst drivers, not necessarily from here, but they end up here... thats how it feels.
Oh hell no, you are not mistaken, that region is one of the single most expensive places to live in both Canada and the US (which is what happens when you build Seattle and Vancouver on the tiny sliver of land between the ocean and mountains in that area). House prices are so bad I think the reason Washington has no state income tax is solely due to the fact they know having one would make the place unaffordable for most people even with the high paying jobs. There's a reason why some of the homeless there make more money begging then some full time workers in other parts of the country yet still live on the streets.DizzyChuggernaut said:I've heard it's expensive to live there though, but I might be mistaken.
I've heard about Texas, especially Houston. And Korea as one of my best friends is living over there doing civilian contractor work for the US Army. I meant that we get a lot of bad drivers from other states that congregate here, like they got kicked out of their own state for shit driving. There are places in Florida that I refuse to use certain roads because of the shit drivers that frequent them and tend to use back roads/state roads over interstates and freeways.AccursedTheory said:I think Texas has the worst drivers.

Luckily, no one in the US has anything on Korean drivers...
Yup, and the big Texas 3 make it into the top 20 worst road rage cities in America.Dagra Dai MC. VSO. said:The ground state, obviously. Any higher energy state is likely to rapidly decay back to its ground state anyway, and who can be bothered to emit a photon?

I'll have to take your word on that. I've been to Florida a few times, but I never noticed the driving being that bad. But it was always visits, never lived there.Imperioratorex Caprae said:I've heard about Texas, especially Houston.
