  • What is your state worst at

    they had this over at M3C and it is kinda interesting

    it's a map of the US but instead of state names it lists what each state is worst at.

    OMG Washington state! I did a double take!
    Alaska I wasn't surprised, I have family that worked up there for some time and said that was the hardest to deal with, not being away from his own family for half the year, but that he would leave for a few weeks to a month and find that a young friend had killed themselves when he returned. He traveled between the villages often and it was truly very sad.

      Ah. Mobile homes. Imagine that. Can't say I'm surprised. Hell, I used to live in one.

      Here's my sister's suggestion for state motto: "Last in SATs, first in STDs."

        Heh, that reminds me of Arkansas's unofficial state motto: "Thank God for Louisiana and Mississippi"

          but i'm not sure i want to know how Washington State earned "bestiality"

          were too many twilight fans going up there to try to make out with wolves or something?

            I live in Washington, and I can spread some light on the "bestiality" aspect. This happened locally about a year ago:

            Edit: Not sure if it's worse that Washington is stuck with bestiality, or that I live in WA and knew exactly why Washington is stuck with bestiality...

                    i'm kinda not surprised that my state has the weakest government influence. there are a lot of people here that tend to think the gov needs to gtfo of their business. i hear people freak out a lot because of one tax or another. bumper stickers galore saying that the gov sucks.
                    lol i actually heard some guys talking about how they hated paying taxes and in the same breath, he said that the gov needs to do something about all the crappy roads.

                        I LOL'ed when I saw what Warshington State is most notorious for, and first thing I thought of was the Enumclaw horse case.

                          New Jersey is Taxes. Heh.

                          I have read that statistic of Utah being highest in porn usage.

                          I wish you could click and actually get some information on the issues.

                            Was not surprised by Utah or Florida.
                            GO IDAHO. I'm torn between the obvious stupidity that too many 'people' display, my own empathy, and the belief that people can and ought to handle themselves...
                            But dang am I proud of mystate.
                            I find it facinating that the state with the highest rate of female criminals is in the same area as 'violence on females' and 'rape.' Also, SO GLAD I don't live in SD anymore. .______.
                            Ohio and Idaho are the two with honestly positive 'worst' things in it.
