My state is better than (name another state).

[ccharles000]

North Carolina is better than South Carolina

[XemaSab]

1. California is better than

all the other states. :)

[petronius]

6. Correction: CA is infinitely better than all the states that are, ever have been, or

ever will be anywhere in the universe. ;)

[LeftinOH]

75. North Dakota is better than.....

:rofl: :hide:

[struggle4progress]

10. Other states have fewer cannibals than California does

Face it: nowhere else do traffic investigations lead to confessions like "I have a problem. I'm a cannibal."

[Zuni]

43. excellent point

:thumbsup:

[CreekDog]

12. better than State of Jefferson too

:evilgrin:

[insanity]

30. NO

I'm a resident of the State of Jefferson and I support it because the biggest cash-crop is weed.

[Starry Messenger]

21. This is the correct answer.

:)

[mnhtnbb]

42. You couldn't pay me to move back to California. Lived there from 1965-88

No way would I go back to live there. Housing prices are outrageous; traffic is abominable;
infrastructure has been f*cked by Repubs starting with Ronnie Reagan; and on top of that
the weather is BORING!

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. Since Nov. 4, I'm not so sure

:grr:

[PBS Poll-435]

2. Texas is better than Alaska

Barely.

[e3323]

65. My anus is a better place than Alaska

Any state that would elect someone as dumb as Sarah Palin is officially inferior to my anus

[LeftyMom]

3. California is better than everywhere.

Sorry, but it is. :shrug:

[LostinVA]

18. No, NJ is

On edit: Crap. In case you couldn't tell, this is Haruka.

[LeftyMom]

50. I had a feeling.

And no.

BTW, are pump jockeys supposed to get a tip? The ones in Oregon kept looking at me funny after I paid for gas.

[Skittles]

51. LOL

uh, yeah, if you say so :o

[mcctatas]

4. Wisconsin is better than Alaska!

[coyotespaw]

54. Every other state besides Alaska

is better than Wisconsin...

:evilgrin:

[littlebit]

5. That's exactly what I was

going to say.

[Haole Girl]

7. roflmao

This sounds like an argument my best friend and I had in 3rd grade. Our Dads were Air Force... she was moving to Delaware & I to California. We drew pictures making fun of the other's new state. I drew one with rain and she drew smoke stacks with pollution. lol

Thanks for triggering that fond memory. :hi:

[quakerboy]

8. Oregon, California, and Colorado are all better than Utah

Of course, so are all 46 remaining states, so thats not saying much. Utah gives me the shudders.

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Hey!

[quakerboy]

52. Truth To Power, man

I refuse to take that step back from verity. Sorry.

[blitzen]

9. Louisiana is better than Mississippi....

since we usually rank second worst and they usually rank worst.

[KamaAina]

47. In my day, the saying went "Thank God for Mississippi!"

for precisely this reason.

[Bake]

74. Don't make me send BOSSHOG down there to whup you!

:rofl:

Bake

[enigmatic]

11. enigmatic is better than mallable

:D

[Drunken Irishman]

13. Utah is better than Idaho & Wyoming, but that's about it.

The joke is, Utah & Wyoming had sex and out came Idaho!

[IntravenousDemilo]

15. ... a state of paralysis. n/m

[Enrique]

16. Flordia is better than a stick in the eye

better climate at least.

[Inspired]

17. Iowa is better than Nebraska. n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Florida is better than any state except perhaps Hawaii. *

Never been there, but from everything I've seen, Hawaii just looks about like heaven on earth.

Honorable mention goes to Maryland on the basis of its sports teams (those that actually represent cities within the state, that is.)

*And yes, that includes you too, California. I'm sorry, but better oranges, infinitely more swimable oceans, and the fact that it doesn't dry up like a tinderbox every year makes the Sunshine State superior to the Golden State in just about every aspect (except surfing--you do have better waves for surfing, I'll give you that.) Not to mention the fact that the governor of Florida, flawed as he might be, at least isn't a pathetic caricature whose speeches consist entirely of cliched lines from his own movies.

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. My husband is taking a job in Tampa, while I will remain here in Tx.

Lucky him and poor me! :-(

[philosophie_en_rose]

20. Washington is better than Idaho.

:bounce:

[bunkerbuster1]

22. Georgia is better than Alabama

just barely.

[emilyg]

56. For sure.

[hobbit709]

23. State of confusion is best.

[mwooldri]

24. My head of State (HM Queen Elizabeth II) is better than your present Head of State...

... George W Bush.

As for the incoming Head of State here in the USA... hmm... tough call. Both have class... both seem to have integrity (to me anyway), and both do good things.

However Queen Elizabeth and Barack Obama have not a lot in common. Her Maj was born royal, though when it became clear she would one day possibly become Queen, she was groomed for the purpose. The rest, we say, is history.

On edit: I've been reading the Wikipedia entry for Her Maj and in it I found some nice interesting quote: Margaret Thatcher apparently stated in a TV interview that "the Queen is the kind of woman who could vote SDP." (SDP: Social Democratic Party, a spin-off from Labour, which merged with the Liberals to form today's Liberal Democrats). Apparently my politics are in line with my monarchs' politics. Neat!

[Chan790]

25. Well...

Connecticut is better than New Jersey. (The liberal kickassness that is living in a state where gay marriage is legal trumps NJ's fine array of petro-chemical refineries.)

Now if you asked me after January 4th, 2009...I would have to say New York is better than Connecticut. (Because NY has NYC and CT is just the suburbs of two large cities, neither of which is in CT. Also, because I'll no longer live in CT.)

[1gobluedem]

26. Michigan is better than all the other states

The problem is, nobody knows it, they rate Michigan by Detroit and nothing else. Too bad for them; this is a great, beautiful, diverse, wonderful place.

[fizzgig]

27. colorado is better than wyoming

and nebraska. and kansas.

[skygazer]

28. Vermont is better than any other state

And you know I'm right. :P

[KitchenWitch]

31. Let's not do this.

[Parche]

32. oregon is much better then North Carolina

:hug:

[Systematic Chaos]

33. Just-about-anyfuckingwhere is better than Nevada.

I'm trapped here because I need my wife's insurance and that makes me hate it all the more.

[LynneSin]

34. Delaware is better than all of you simply because of my living in Delaware

and doesn't hurt that the VP-elect is from Delaware too

[treestar]

35. I went to college in NC and remember one native daughter informing

me: We don't like South Carolina!

LOL. But I agree. NC is better than SC. One thing, NC is blue now and SC is still red.

As for my state: Delaware is better than Alaska!

[flvegan]

36. Massachusetts is the best state because it doesn't take rights from gay citizens.

Plus, that's where the Red Sox are and where I come from.

Okay, it's expensive to live there and the winters suck, but it's better than CT.

I do love Florida, but we've got a long, long way to go.

[Bertha Venation]

37. Maryland is better than Confusion

:crazy:

[insanity]

38. Oregon>Else>Nebraska

[Tuesday Afternoon]

39. confusion is better than apathy

maybe.

[stuntcat]

40. SC

:blush: right on. I've known since I was born: NC's 1000% better than SC!

My state for now is Virginia. I think it's better than Florida, I know some piggy poopoobrains in Florida.. also they're killing off their native animals down there.

=

[Forkboy]

41. I'm in Mass. We're better than all the other states.

:hide:

[Zuni]

45. Maryland is better than

many states. I'll start with 2.

Maryland is better than Florida because half the people you meet here aren't meth addicts and the cockroaches aren't the size of Toyota Tundras.

Maryland is better than Delaware because Delaware is a pitiful non-state that is only good for tax free shopping on a rainy day or driving through on the way to Philadelphia or New York.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

57. Maryland is better than most states, but not Florida.

Maryland, a great state no doubt. But way too much winter and dead trees in January for my taste. Which is why I made the move with a somewhat heavy heart.

That being said, Go O's, Ravens and Terps!

[Road Scholar]

46. Well, you have gone and stolen my choice. North Carolina is of

course better than South Carolina. You would have only to look a the results voting of November 4th. Actually NC is better than all the other states but especially South Carolina. Just look at the Carolina Panthers, not to mention UNC's Tarheel Basketball team. The only setback would be Jesse Helms, but that is offset by Senator Sam Ervin.:toast: :toast: :toast:

[KamaAina]

48. Hawai'i is better than any of the 48 contiguous states or Alaska

the lower 48 because the word "contiguous" is kind of dorky, plus most of them are cold, and Alaska because their governor is a dingbat, plus it's cold. :P

[dropkickpa]

49. Pennsylvania is better than Ohio

Go Steelers!!!

[PaddyBlueEyes]

53. IM A NEW YORKER

Nuff said....

[harmonicon]

55. Michigan is better than Florida

[Tommy_Carcetti]

58. Yeah, because everyone is really clamoring for a romantic tropical getaway to Flint.

:P

[harmonicon]

59. when was the last time a German tourist was killed in Flynt?!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

60. For a tourist to be killed, first there should be something worth touring.

:P

[harmonicon]

61. yeah, I know, so why do they go to Florida?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

62. Hmm....let's see

Plus, you have all the Disney World/Theme Park stuff, which I'm not a huge fan of, but a lot of people are....

[hobbit709]

64. But you left out the hurricanes, swamps, mosquitos

heat and humidity and all the fundy bible thumpers.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

66. Going down that list:

1. Hurricanes--Part of the contract of living in such a beautiful state. Besides, any true Floridian knows how to manage a hurricane no sweat. I'd much rather a hurricane than a freezing blizard, or worse, an ice storm.

2. Swamps--The Everglades isn't just a swamp, my friend, it's one of the most unique ecosystems in the world. And swamps in general actually have quite diverse wildlife and are actually quite beautiful.

3. Mosquitos--They feed the food chain for the super cool wildlife. Spray some Off on yourself and you won't have a problem.

4. Heat--Anyone who complains about the heat inevitably will also complain about freezing temperatures up north. And only one of those conditions allows you to go to the beach/pool and lay out, so I'll happily take the heat.

5. Humidity--Keeps things lush and green. Much rather have some humidity in the air than have to see my state burn up like a tinderbox every year.

6. Fundies--They're everywhere. Florida hardly has a corner market on em.

[hobbit709]

67. I've been in Florida

1. I've been through hurricanes-the further away from sea level the better.
2. I've seen worse swamps and the ecosystem will survive better without me in it.
3. You ain't seen TX mosquitos
4&5. I get plenty of heat here but the humidity is usually lower
6. The only ones more insane than the FL variety are the SC ones.

7. When the ice caps melt, I won't be underwater.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

69. I'll give you number 7, but that's it.

Being underwater will suck.

[e3323]

63. massachusetts has a higher mean IQ than any other state

FACT

[WritingIsMyReligion]

68. Maine is better than Florida.

Then again, so are almost all the states. (I'll give Florida "better than" status over Alaska, Utah, and Alabama.)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

70. That's a funny one.

Lobsters, yes. Blueberries, yes. That's about all Maine's got, though. Otherwise, you're just another freeze your ass off Northern state. :P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

71. We have real ocean up here, not overheated lake water.

We've got four seasons, too: mud season, mosquito season, leaf season, and snow season.

:P

[Tommy_Carcetti]

72. We've got an ocean you can swim at year round.

Plus actual sand on our beaches as opposed to giant boulders. So take that. :P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

73. Sand is obnoxious--gets all over the place.

Giant boulders get burning hot in the sun and counteract the cold of the water. Besides, cold water raises hardy souls!!!!

:rofl:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

76. Cold water also shrinks.

And that's something no self respecting man would ever want, and no self respecting woman would ever support.
