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

That would be the Ohio valley.
This is a cesspool of filth.

Rubber, Steel, Oils.

Your eyes burn just driving through it.

The heartland is but a buncha rednecks.

the heartland ain´t got heart.

Years ago, just driving through Gary IN would turn your car black from the soot.

Because of a variance, five million gallons of raw sewage is pumped into Tampa bay FL every day. The bay already has 15+ feet the sewage on the bottom. It is thought that trying to clean it up would do more damage that just leaving it there.

the present state of the union is pretty bad...

New Jersy - biggest bunch of weird people that I have ever seen!!
And where else in the US do you turn RIGHT to
turn LEFT?

Gallup, New Mexico.

Small town falling apart. Half the businesses "out-of-business".

Went to a restaurant, we were the only white people there. They refused to serve us because we were white. All the non-white people received service. Got up and left after being ignored for 45 minutes.

Will never stop in that town again.

GEORGIA

GEORGIA

Mississippi sux rat ass.

Well, I have to say that Georgia is a beautiful state. The worst I´ve see are Newark, NJ and Houston TX.

Texas is a polluted shithole where chemicals are dumped into lakes, the water table is contaminated and the people have a general disprespect for nature.

The air quality varies from "can barely breath" to "nasty, unhealthy stench". The smell of chemicals, chickenshit and car exhuast permeates the air.
When a persons´ washing machine wears out here they don´t bring it to the landfill, they throw it out on a country road.
The roadside is littered with furniture , tv´s and trash rednecks have thrown out, and hardly a backroad exists without an "unofficial" dump.

Some of the lakes are so polluted the chemicals eat monofilimant fishing line, and slicks of chemicals can be seen on the surface.

In the oil fields the polution is worst yet, with the unwanted byproducts of the oil industry being discarded on site in pits, where it jsut soaks into the water table. Radioactive waste from the oil industry is discarded in local lakes, or buried on site. Very little of these dangerous chemicals are disposed of properly , and are absorbed into the enviroment.
As jsut a typical example, the International Paper mill in Domino Texas is allowed to release dioxin into the Sulpher river, causing massive fich die offs in times of low water flow.
The fish are absorbing these chemicals, and people are eating the fish. No warnings are given.

All East Texas lakes are polluted with mercury, and warning signs for the contaminant are posted at nearly every lake, with warnings not to consume more than a few ounces a month of fish.

East Texas is the nastiest place I´ve ever been, except Louisiana, which is just as bad. The people who live here have the Christian mindset that nature was provided by god for man to ruin.

I have to say that Gary Indiana was the most disgustingly polluted place I have EVER seen.

I saw some pretty strange looking people in Arkansas, but there were a lot of pretty trees.

Baton Rouge LA had a very scary feeling, voodooish, couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I saw this thread and was going to say the Ohio Valley, (Miami Valley) but the first poster beat me too it! God, what a sad place to live....

Georgia sucks

Georgia is one of the most beautiful states. Even Atlanta is filled with trees & nice old and new homes so for a large city it's not bad. It's just getting very overcrowded in many areas. Just south of Atlanta there are some ugly areas with lots of trucks and some nasty small towns, but some nice ones too. Hordes of illegal immigrants have crowded into some bedroom communities also and have driven many of the former residents out. But much of the state is flowing with rivers, mountain streams, large tracts of green, fertile rolling hills and many thousands of acres of state and national forests. The state has a very good climate (except for the humidity) and a great topographical diversity. It has the coastline with Savannah and the swampland to the south and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the north. If you call Georgia the greatest shithole there ever was you must not have traveled much. I vote for Louisians - especially New Orleans (even before Katrina, scary place) and Texas - esp. Houston (eek), and oh can't forget Newark (PU) - but there's a lot of beautiful countryside in New Jersey too.

Kentucky is the biggest shithole in America by far. You have to realize that people in Kentucky are 20 years behind what everywhere else is. They're still figuring out this device called a computer and how it works. Its like living in a third world country in Kentucky full of white trash and ignorant hilljacks. Sad but true.

Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana are good contenders
