It has me, therefore it is 15% more awesome
I don't have anything else to compare it to o.o
It's hot and crowded, smells like cheese.
Alaska's Effing AWESOME!!!
Well, the Northeast is lovely. And California is, I'm sure. And possibly Florida. :jess:
I was tempted to link the Ranting Gryphon on youtube..but he swears a lot.
You... you... you are my new best friend. Any friend of West Side Story is a friend of Rye. :bigsmile:Quote:

California is polluted in every sense of the word
New York smells bad and is full of people who try to appear important in the streets when they're probably not
Florida has too much damn roaches that are huge and seem to pop up out of no virtually no where
New Jersey is a turnpike and it will let you ride it because it is a whore
Texas is just a desert full of boring conservatives
Vermont is for drugs and hippies
Louisiana is a cesspool
Georgia is full of rednecks and you might be one if...
Washington has too much rain
Alaska is cold and penguins are better
Massacusettes is full of drunks and bad comedians
Just to name a few.
Despite all of that, I still love U.S. of A. <3
I like it, the driving is so relaxes its kinda dangerous.. some downsides are the insane amounts of salt on the road(ruined my 200 dollar shoes) and the insane amount of chlorine in the water..
the rest is 150% awsomesauce
Everyone eats nothing but red meat with barbecue sauce and they shoot minorities and they smell like BO.
It rains money on Thursday and the streets are paved with candy.
omg another alaskan! let us hold hands and skip@Quote:

I can't. I wanna move into a bigger city as soon as I can. :mad2:Quote:

This is untrue Californians are more Mexican than anything I believe the real american states to be the midwest nowhere near the coastsQuote:

By and large the people are very talkative and friendly. They don't tend to hold doors open for you and (national stereotypes ahoy!) I'd say the people aren't quite as polite as they are here in Britain. That's the feeling I got from Florida anyway. I also know that on one day during any fortnight, there will be a thunderstorm and you'll get drenched; most likely on the day when you happen to be wearing shorts and t-shirt. Otherwise the weather is really nice, sunny and hot. It's a rather nice country to visit, even if I've only been to touristy Florida, but one I'd enjoy visiting again.
They also have automobiles and big metal birds to fly in.
sorry to crush all dreams but i just hung out with a guy from aulstrlia and could not belive how many times he could of said "only in america" it is true, girls it only takes one saying to make it happen, we are as gorgeuous as any country and we hate anyone who is not white omg whats not to love lol. honestley to quoute M. Ward "every town is just the same" count it
90% of Florida's population is Canadian, and old enough to speak Phoenecian.Quote:

They just made mistakes after mistakes -.-" They at the neginning thought of making something like a "city upon a hill" but with the developments of the laws in Britain, they actually build a paradox, America was consider a new world full of oportunities with an open mind but unfortunetly it nevere worked fully like that specially with slaves! Neither nowadays! The truth is Americans since the beginning thought they were the choosen of God! And I think some people still think that! :( Also this explains why most americans are really religious, it all comes with their past!
I still prefer Britain!:D
I know that Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia are actually commonwealths and not states. :o
Louisiana follows the Napoleonic Code, also.
I'm sorry I pick on the rest of the country, Hsu. xD I've never really been to most of the other places, so I admit my opinion isn't the most valid one. I just got a really bad impression of the other places I did go to, like Washington DC, which was a ghetto crap hole and makes me angry every time anyone insults NYC for being "dangerous" and would let there kids walk around THERE, but not in NYC, and Virginia, the only place in the South I've been, because it was miles of fields and a tiny scary old house ever 10 miles, which literally did make me sick with worry while we were driving through VA. Even Baltimore was a crap hole. A really pretty sea-side crap hole, but there were bums EVERYWHERE. And not the funny whimsical ones that we have. They and DC had the holy crap aggressive ones that chase kids! All of my experiences near and below the Mason-Dixon line have been bad ones. xD Besides, I pick on NY all the time. Red Pill and Denmark are lovingly harassed by me for living in upstate New York with the freaking Canadian mounties and farms and stuff. <3 It's not just the south and midwest.
I've really not been to a vast majority of the US. I've been to more places overseas than here, tbh. So I'm just joking around. I'm sure I'd like it more if I've been to those other places. North Carolina is like, NYers who want slow pace central. Some of my family is down there. Maybe I'll go sometime. I'll cool it with the jokes then, mistuh hsoo. :bigsmile:
o__O Either you live in a wonderful, amazing part of Britain or you visited a very different America from me. They were infinitely more polite where I went than here in Britain.Quote:

I've been told the Grand Canyon is Grand. How big is it? And also the Hoover Dam! (I watched Transformers)
It's.... intense.
I wouldn't say there was a great deal in it; you get some miserable, impolite people wherever you go. Just the impression I got anyway.Quote:

Never been. I figure there's a lot of beautiful scenery. And guinea pigs come from america, don't they..?
As for the people, I dunno. There seems to be some morons and some great people just as there are anywhere.
OMG! BERT! Save a room at your place! We could LARP Guild Wars and protest large corporations! And I'll bring teh acid!!!1!! !!!one!1Quote:

My thoughts on america (in alphabetical order)
Alabama-- it has US space camp at huntsville :D I didn't really get to experience much of living there though.
Arkansas-- it gets pretty ghetto toward the east and the south, but I love love love NW arkansas :D
Colorado-- I was there a loooooooooong time ago so I don't remember how the people were, but it's pretty there :D
Illinois-- I can't remember much about when my family went to Chicago several years ago, but stu and I stopped in Effingham and it was so awesome there. Like seriously, we ate dinner at taco bell, and this biker guy came in and just started talking to the high school girl behind the counter about a presentation he'd given at her school. and this elderly couple came in and teased me about my long john silver's xD :up: A+
Indiana- Indiana (unsurprisingly) is very similar to Illinois and Ohio, the three 'uh which one is which?' states. I took a long involved survey that put my top place to live as Muncie, IN (kentucky was a close second, but I forget the town.)
Kansas- it's really boring to drive through xD Much like missouri. My best friend in high school came from kansas at some point (she came from a lot of places though) and said she loved the climate but despaired of the people. I mean, look how friendly aunty em and uncle henry were in the wizard of oz movie! I MEAN THEY WEREN'T.
Kentucky-- I had to drive through it at night, but it LOOKED like it was pretty! I have a feeling that the hillbilliness of it is staggered north to south (although there are some pretty backwoods places in ohio), but it seemed very well kempt
Louisiana-- I love southern louisiana xD My nearly adoptive grandpa (not related but very close to the family) came from the area and still talks with a cajun drawl. I had a very happy month living in Lafayette.
Mississippi-- I remember being impressed with mississippi when I drove through it to go to louisiana the first time (when I was 7), I haven't really been back since, I'm sure it's similar to tennessee and louisiana and eastern arkansas though
Missouri-- they have cheap gas >:[ *jealous* Maybe it's from being too close to there without spending significant time there, but it generally seems more skummy than arkansas, although afore-mentioned friend has a sister that lives in Joplin now, and my semi-adoptive band-dad came from there, and holy crap WORLDS OF FUN. Never drive through it on I-70. Just don't. Seriously. EVER Someone suggests it to you, you just go ahead and run.
New Mexico-- it left a bad taste in my mouth on the colorado trip; not only did the denny's suck but I forgot my swim goggles at the motel we stayed at ;.; I can't reallygive a more indepth thought than that xD
Ohio -- It impressed me. I wouldn't live there in the late winter/early spring through xD Really nice in the summer. There are skummy places (hi dayton with your gas stations that have bulletproof glass and bars around the counter!), but there are ones that are sterling examples of civic pride. Very similar to NWA but with better summer weather and poorer late-winter/early spring xD The people are generally fairly friendly and down-home in some places.
Oklahoma-- It's not all red neck wasteland! The areas near tulsa are very nice, such as where the aforementioned friend's grandparents live! The climate is much nicer in summer than arkansas (less humidity, THANKS GULF COAST), imo, but still blazing hot.
Tennessee-- Stu and I stopped at a dairy queen on exit 108 on I-65. I think we saw a family of 6 or 7 (or part of one. I'm sure my extrapolation is accurate though), a pot-smokin' crack dealer, his little adoring daughter, his current junkie girlfriend, two of the obese poor, and I don't remember what else :O I'm sure that the rest of tennessee is better and we just got the short end of the stick though!
Texas-- I love houston :O The people vouch for themselves xD
Well, Texas is okay I suppose. It get's kinda hot and America's youth is a little bitch though.
I hate eastern and southeastern Kentucky. Eastern Tennessee reminded me of Kentucky (I enjoyed Dollywood, though), and I saw only corn in Indiana.
California is wonderful!
Baltimore, Maryland is really great even though it smells like fish and crabs. The aquarium is a must see if you go there.
Well of course you're not going to like it if all you believe is what you hear on the news xD
Tell me about it D: It is seriously the only thing here. Indiana is like "Be a farmer or GTFO".Quote:

It's alright.
Western america, not mid west, west. IE Wyoming (me state) colorado, montana, and utah. They are really pretty. The rocky mountains are well, beautiful. If you ever have a chance go to yellowstone national park It's so pretty. Like better than movies pretty.
But you can't say that just people make a or break a place. I'd have to tell you Switzerland was horrible then. Because the people there were jerks. Where ever you went was bad people. We're not all bad.
Michigan sucks but I'm ever gonna live in a big city. They're stupid
Missouri, which eerily sounds like Misery, is always thought of as a flat boring state like Kansas. But to be honest, we're 10x cooler than Kansas because at least the St. Louis area is hilly and full of deciduous forest, and the rest of the eastern half is as well. Kansas is just pure on horizon every direction you look, which is just depressing.
Sadly, St. Louis is pretty crappy compared to most major cities in the country, but we do have a really nice zoo and a gigantic stainless steel arch, which makes us cooler than you. Plus, we have a really muddy river called the Mississippi, which every 3rd grader in the WORLD, well maybe not the world, learns to spell. Also, where else in the world can you go to a small town called Hannibal and paint fences white competitively?
Okay -.- the truth is Missouri sucks. Its full of a lot of nothing in between St. Louis and Kansas City. And when I say nothing, I actually mean crummy fields with run down farms. But you know what, Disney Land was almost built here. So take that, thats more than anyone other than California can say, because they actually got Disney Land.
Ah well, I am actually leaving in 4 months to attend college in Chicago so I guess it doesn't matter. My life will officially revolve around attending every Oprah show in hopes of getting free stuffz (hey, it's a better investment than playing the lottery) and seeing blue man group every night.
THAT, is what makes America, America. Blue man group. Where else can you be totally creeped out and completely entertained by people painted blue? Besides the 80's, smurfs don't count.
