I must agree with that. From my time in Cambridge, the people of Massachusetts have thin skulls and mushy brains.

Whenever someone is weaving in & out of traffic at 100 miles an hour in a 55 or 65 MPH zone, it's almost alway someone from New York or New Jersey.

Some of the rudest people in the county are from the most populated parts of those states.

I was once pumping gas in South Carolina & I could hear the sound of a woodpecker, is was so quiet & peaceful, then a car pulled up with New York plates. The driver got out leaving his motor running & the passenger threw the car's trash out the window & into the lot. There was a trash can in plane view & just a handful of steps away from the car.

I walk over & picked up the New Yorker's trash & threw it into the can, looking at him the whole time, not one sign of remorse, no show of thanks, just a scumbag with no respect on how other people live. Of course, not all people from those states are like that, but if you grew up in the southeast, you know someone with disrespect on the roads, more than likely has New York or New Jersey plates, most likely going to Florida or back home from FLA.

I imagine when I travel up that way doing the speed limit the locals think "I wish this slow hick would get off the road!"


Yeah I know. Litterers are totally scumbags.

Massachusetts can't be unintelligent because they allow gay marriage.

Anyway I still say Texas so I'll just post what I said in another thread. For allowing religion in schools and getting rid of Thomas Jefferson in textbooks for not being Christian enough.

Umm yes, we have a decent supply of oil, produce an extremely large amount of wheat and other staple crops, and are fairly good for wind energy. But I wouldn't mind us being our own independent country, as long as we get all the nukes back that we had in the cold war.

Yes I live in North Dakota, shocking isn't it?

Plus it's beautiful country. Anybody who says otherwise, has probably never left his or her bedroom.

But if I had to pick, I'd say New Jersey. Just because I like New York that much more :P

Yeah, but noone drills that oil, and we can get wheat elsewhere. The nukes might be a bit much, but a hefty ransom and we could discuss nationhood, :p

Indeed, get rid of South Dakota, they are very rude to us.

But instead of making us our own country, I would be willing to have us be part of Canada instead. I like their liberal social policies. And if North Dakota was its own country, we would probably become some sort of theocratic society, which is not something I would enjoy. The very thought terrifies me. It might not look very good on the map, but we all must make sacrifices.
