Which State-of-the-Union is the greatest ´shithole´ there ever was?

LOL, you've just described my brother!

Why would you say Ga. It has some of the best roads in the nation. Still alot of farmland and trees everywhere. I wouldn't live in Atlanta though, and it does have some parts with high minority population. It's ecomony also isn't as bad as alot of places. It's not the best state, but certainly not the worst.

most of the old Confederacy states sucks shit. Just think what a hell pit that would be if they actually were able to win the Civil War?

texas without a doubt.

too many people everywhere you go ....period...

the closer people live..the easier it is to see their trash....

I wouldn`t live near a dump...

no way....

and i`m allergic to big cities....

the thing about cali...is that there are too many people there...

too many apartment complexes....

not enough open space....

old homes with big yards are torn down...

and condos with 20 units are built where one home used to stand...

all in the name of tax revenue...

yeah.....but the streets don`t get bigger do they?

los angeles was built for about 3 million people....

and there are 20 million people living there right now....

that is too much....

way too much...

Sounds like Alabama and North Florida. DOn't get me wrong, there are some seriously decent country people in both those places but the local trash is working hard to eliminate them.

In North Florida, we now have more prisons than blades of grass. These industries attract the most seriously fucked up people you can imagine.

Definitely TEXAS is Number 1!! Even Houston now has the worst air pollution of any city in the USA, bypassing even Los Angeles! Bush as governor ensured that big business only had to comply with pollution standards "voluntarily". Texas is a good example of what happens when such decisions that affect the quality of life are left up to private corporations seeking a quarterly profit!

I'd also include most of Dixie: Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas. These states may have natural beauty, but the people do their best to disregard and destroy it, since so many believe that the END TIMES are coming and God will refresh the earth (he'd have to use a super charged fire hose to flush out the damage the "proud" southerners have done). I also cannot stand the social inequality. There can be a lovely antebellum house followed by a tar paper shack. Evidently, the rich folk in the "big house" feel no compunction at Christian charity to help the less fortunate. It sickened my stomach.

The town I live in Ga. Most nights you ride through downtown there are churches feeding the homeless. Also, many churches pick up trash and particpate in alot of other programs for the poor. It's usually the Christians that do help the poor. Who was the first to arrive after Katrina and probably did the most. It was the churches. After we had tornados here the churches went around helping to cut down fallen trees in peoples yards. Don't blame everything on Christians. They could do more, but they do alot more than the average citizens to help people.

New hampshire , step out of the trendy portsmouth/greenland/newcastle area . Its trailer parks and dead factory towns , touristy shitholes all with the stellar go fuck yourself and don't ever talk to me ,deliverance extras citizens.
More than a few them have no car insurance and warrants out of their arrest. The police don't even chase people with warrants .
they catch them inevitably behind the wheel of one of their tralier park 200 dollar , uninspectable temporary plate mobiles after they violate protection orders.

The south is just fine, thank you. Life is pretty good if you can manage to avoid all the carpetbaggers from the (cough..haaaack..cough) northeast.

That's probably what pigs think too as they wallow in the mud. If you've only lived in the South, you don't know any better, honeychile. Your part of the country seems the last holdout of ring wing lunacy, supporting everything the Republican party says. The Republican party is fast becoming ONLY the party of wingnuts and the Deep South (no difference, evidently, in terms of political views).

That sounds like rural Kentucky having all those prisons. Louisville as a city could be described as a big work release program with all kinds of ghetto types. Let's just say I've seen more garbage here than just about anywhere as far as cities go in this region. Even Indianapolis and Cincinnati make this place look bad. Nashville, TN is actually a lot better city than Louisville.

Its a toss up between Louisville, Memphis, and Birmingham as far as being the Detroit of the South. Louisville has lost so much decent industry that its a hard thing to even find a job in Louisville. So thats why a lot of people especially younger people are moving either a long ways off to say Texas or Florida or the east as well as some of the northern cities.

Clearly the winner even though it's not a state. More "turds" per square mile than anywhere in America.

[youtube] this place sucks. The ultra-liberal commies have run it into the ground. I have been here my whole life and damn it, I want out.

The above post is for Douche-ifornia!

The whole USA is a shithole that has been taken over first by Negros, and now by dirty Mexicans.

THAT'S WHY I LEFT!

Funny, I was going to say Gary, Indiana, too. I almost suffocated driving through there, OMG. So it's at the top of my list for un-livability, but Alabama runs a close second for collective dullness. No offense to anyone forced to live in those places.

Sheesh, I thought this was a current thread til I saw Duncan Kunz's post.

Later...

I lived in Texas for 23 years and it is by far the biggest shit hole in the U.S
