I've actually been to Missouri, but it just struck me as a whole lot of nothing. Again, it may have just been the part I saw, just mile upon mile of bugger all. We passed the time by playing 'Name that road kill'.

Naw, if you're from MS, you'll know that there are only 3 syllables in the word...

Florida has it's share of trash - but enough good to offset a large portion of it. Land is getting expensive in Florida so many of the trailer parks are going away. If you want ass poor - hard to pass up mississippi. Graft and corruption - Louisiana hands down. Want a high "bubba" factor - then Texas would win. plenty of southern states could win this award on any given sunday.

This should have been a poll. I may be moving to the "winner" state.

Gimme a redneck over a Southern Californicate type "I'm rich" guy any day of the week...

NOT just speaking SoCal, BTW...plenty of those types in the urban Portland, Orygun area...

Do you guys need much more convincing on Illinois? I might have to due some research. IIRC, we've sent 7 (soon to be 8 when Blago gets indicted) governors to prison since WWII.

As a foriegn guy who doesn't really know the US too well; I always thought it was FL.

My GF changed planes at LAX and said she wanted to look around America with me, I said sure, but the rest of it is fairly much like LAX.

Let me also add Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Lee Lewis and the rest of their clan from down around Jonesville/Ferriday. But we DO have some good musicians to sort of "even things out".

And we did kill those theives Bonnie & Clyde, so maybe that'll give us a few points. (Oops...sorry, I forgot William "cold cash" Jefferson. Trumps Bonnie & Clyde)

redneckville states
We have rednecks up here, but they don't compare to the southern rednecks as far as trashy housing, yards and lack of teeth

what's a redneck? we've got trailers, we've got trash. the only so called rednecks I see are from another part of the country, usually from the west, out here looking for work.

Alaska has to rank right up there with the best...er worst. The longest serving republican senator, Ted Stevens is under investigation for corruption and who know what else. His son, a former state senator is being investigated, two former house members on trial this week and one more just around the corner. Our lone house member, Don Young is under investigation as well. He's the one that tried to sucker those bridges to nowhere.
Anyway, seems like all the trash from the lower 48 eventually makes it up here so they can join the huge ranks of welfare republicans and benefits like subsidized child birth. Boy these people can breed when someone else is footing the bill.

Being born in and living near North Dakota most of my childhood, I can tell you it pretty much gets no respect. My kin are spread mostly across eastern ND and western Mn. When I tell friends I'm vacationing in Fargo, you should see the eyes roll.

You won't find a generally more honest hard working folk anywhere.

The South must be doing something correct. It seems that half of the northern population is moving down here. Also Huntsville, AL ranked as the #1 place to live south of the 37th parallel with metropolitan areas with more than 250,000 residents, eat your heart out SoCal.

I'm getting bad when I can't even spell Mississippi...It just goes to show U that the worst educational system in the US is in CA, as I am a shining product of the CA public education system. Would U believe I am a graduate of the University of CA and, NO... NOT UC SANTA CRUZ.... It was another one that was down by the beach.

I have a friend that is a Sanderson Farm Contract Chicken Farmer down in ole Miss...he has a sign as U enter his farm which reads.."Arbeit Macht Frei."

I guess the US is filling up with stupid a$$ mtherfkers..... I wonder if watching Television has anything to with it? Americans would rather watch Deal No Deal than read a book that might actually learn them something.

But if U can't beat em join em... here is a pic of my humble abode in LV.



BTW: Note the picture windows in the front of the trailer have a nice view of the dumpster... that is an extra $20 a month.

I hear you. I was working in Fargo a few months ago and it was a really nice place, clean, and the folks know how to party and have a good time. And OMG the women there are HOT!! Way hotter than anything here in MN.. blonde's everywhere out there in no dak.

I may put in for a transfer to Fargo in the next few months depending... it beat the hell out of anything this place has to offer.
