Which state are you from?

[Monlyth]

Utah.

I wonder if other religious states... err... 'operate' the same way.

[Kintuckistan]

It's getting too over-populated.
I miss the farm country where I was raised :/

For some odd reason I hate michigan and the place I live in because of Conformity...I want to live out in the west as well where their is free space and people are way nicer... >.>

Where were you raised?

Delaware County... before it became the fastest growing county in Ohio.

And Columbus, OH is my definition of hell-on-Earth.
My old-old neighborhood in Columbus is now a project for Somali refugees that were just "plopped" down in Franklin CO.

[Ivenas]

I am from Colorado.
Town/County: Boulder

[Serrland]

Illinois, but I tend to associate more with my city or region (Northern Illinois) than the state itself. Mostly because I'd quite like to see the state split up a bit. Draw a line right across, just south of Peoria. How nice that would be!

Ahh...

Columbus, OH....I would agree...

[Demirysis]

I bet you wouldn't consider it a "fuck you" if the thread was about states in another country.

How much?

Also, I'm aware of the various uses of the word state. I said that when you think of the word 'State' in the geopolitical respect, you should think of the US pretty quickly, unless you live under a rock.

Nah.

How much?

A lot.

Nah.

Oh yeah fuckin' right. The United States is the most economically powerful nation in the world, and is the Microcosm for the entire Western world. Like I said, you must live under a rock.

[Dazchan]

You got to love how the poll just assumes that we are all Americans...

When it says 'State', unless you live under a rock, you should probably know that it's meaning the US.

Why would we make that assumption? States are not unique to the US.

[Zavina]

I live in Ohio, but was born in Pennsylvania.

I'm sorry, when exactly did I say that?

If you'd care to read, I'm saying that the US is the most prominent country which people world wide are aware has states.

I did read. You made an assumption that the word "state" implies US. I pointed out that it does not, because states exist in other countries. Whether the US is more prominent than Australia et al is irrelevant. If people ask me which state I'm from, my response is to tell them, not to say "I'm not from the US".

If you want to be US-centric, that's fine. Just don't assume that everyone else has the same level of US-centricism.

[Gaveo]

I kid about the Georgia part (even though GA is pretty), but California is definitely not the best state.

I've heard that, I've never been to Georgia though, or really anywhere in the deep south. What's wrong with California though? Out of all the places I've lived I find it to be the best by far.

Well first its a pain to live there (financially) while here in GA its not that hard. But I have to admit Cali is a beautiful state, the best though unlikely.

[Castille de Italia]

I'm originally from Washington, but I spent a majority of my life in Utah. So I usually tell people I'm from Utah...

Ah - so it's your reading comprehension that's extremely low? Okay.

The word 'state' should invoke thoughts of the US. It's the largest and most well known country for using states. That is all. I don't see why you're all making such a fucking big deal out of it.

I AM FROM A STATE OF BEING BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION. WE SHALL ASSIMILATE ALL THAT IS USEFUL FROM YOUR DISTINCTIVENESS AND ADD IT TO THE STATE BELOW US BECAUSE THEY SUCK. [/cruiseControl]

Ah, ad homs. I guess it's easier than admitting that you were wrong.

There is, simply put, no other interpretation of this using standard English, other than that the word "state" infers the meaning that the topic of discussion is the US, which is wrong. Very wrong.

The word 'state' should invoke thoughts of the US.

No, the word "state" should invoke thoughts of multiple cities and towns united under a government. Because, you know, that's what a state is.

It's the largest and most well known country for using states.

Which means precisely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

That is all. I don't see why you're all making such a fucking big deal out of it.

Welcome to the Internet, where if you make ridiculous comments you get called on it.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I never guessed the US was larger than India.

Actually, no, I'm trying to help you out - poor reading comprehension would at least give you an excuse.

There is, simply put, no other interpretation of this using standard English, other than that the word "state" infers the meaning that the topic of discussion is the US, which is wrong. Very wrong.

Now I'm worried. Never have I said that the US and only the US should be associated with the word 'state'. For the love of fucking everything, all I am saying is that when someone says the word 'state' as a geopolitical entity, if you are at all familiar with the planet earth and it's nations, the United States should probably come to your mind. It's that simple.

No, the word "state" should invoke thoughts of multiple cities and towns united under a government. Because, you know, that's what a state is.

Yeah, and it also refers to solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. Because, you know, that's what a state is. (middle school English protip: use the context to figure out what definition is being referred to).

Which means precisely nothing everything in the grand scheme of things.

Fix'd

Welcome to the Internet, where if you make ridiculous comments you get called on it.

It's a good thing I didn't make a ridiculous comment, huh?

[Demirysis]

Sounds like someone has never taken a geography class. Otherwise, you'd be able to tell from a world map.

India: 1,269,000 sq miles

US: 3,794,000 sq miles

Now, I may be wrong here, but according to the very foundations of arithmetic, 3.794 million is considerably bigger than 1.269 million.

Born and partly raised in Tennessee (also my current residence), though I consider Louisiana my adopted home.

Question for OP: should I go with the state I was born in, or the state I consider my homeland for the poll?

Are there any "State of blalala" jokes that haven't been taken yet?
Also I find your US centrism insulting
