my least favorite state......
........is oklahoma. there, i said it, and i'll take whatever consequenses i have coming. i used to live there, and while the majority of folks are fine people, i didn't like the state. please don't think less of me, if that's possible, just because i don't care much for oklahoma, i just can't help it, it's my least favorite of all the 48 states.

and i must admit, i'm not real crazy about texas. no offense to texans, who i'm sure for the most part, are decent and kindly people.
don't appreciate ohio that much, now that i think about it, endless rolling hills and flyover country, but it's not as bad as say, kansas, which i've always had a bone to pick with.

and i can't leave out missouri as one of my least faves, i am currently in that devolved and inferior state, which is in direct proximity with another of my least loved, arkansas, even though my granny is from there. in my mind, it is loathed at least as much as it's neighboring state, new mexico, which is a godforsaken hellhole.

and i'll always harbor ill will toward the state of florida, and also pennsylvania, which is not exactly hell, but you can definitely see it from there. utah is surely nothing to write home about, and you can have maine and maryland too for all i care. vermont? i don't even want to talk about vermont, and i mean it.

and what the hell is up with montana and nevada? do all the kooks live there? are they from there, or do they ship them in by the boxcar load? and i'd rather just as soon stick my tongue in a drawer and slam it as ever pass through michigan again, or wyoming or indiana for that matter.

between south dakota and mississippi, i can't decide which nauseates me the most. and the only good thing to ever come out of iowa is hiway 35.

if there are any nice people from alabama, you could never prove it by me, and when i hear the word idaho, i spit on the floor.

so what's your least loved state? and don't say kentucky, cause my mother is from there.

1. My least favorite state is Florida where I lived most of my life.
I lived in So. Florida with the heat, humidity, bugs, crime and people who refused to speak English. I call it the "hell hole of the South." I moved to No. Georgia in 1989 and that was the smartest thing I have ever done.

5. georgia? i'm not too fond of georgia
i spent two weeks there one night, and it was all bad, what i remember anyway. i won't hold it against you however, you can't help what state you ended up in, and at least you're not a native georgian, because they are universally hated and shunned.

3. What's wrong with Maine??
Just curious...won't even mention Vermont since you don't want to talk about it.

I think there are good people in every state,and good things about every state. That being said,I could do without Oklahoma myself...and Kansas.

4. Mississippi and Georgia
I live in Georgia now, and it's Freeper heaven in the area I'm at. Mississippi I lived in for 7 years, and it seemed more like 12th century Russia. I used to look forward to leaving the state so that I could find a bookstore.
BTW I am from Missouri, and if you get into the urban areas it's much less conservative, or at least it used to be.

12. Um: "... it's my least favorite of all the 48 states"?
Hey, MoP, it's not 1959 any more. So, alaska what your least-favorite of the 50 states is -- hawaii going to answer?

14. So you have no opinion of Hawai'i (or Alaska), then?
it's my least favorite of all the 48 states

Actually, you're not alone. When I flew to Texas for a training a month ago, my ticket jacket read, in part, "For reservations in the U.S., Hawaii or Mexico, call 1-800..."

Then there are the record stores that put Hawaiian music in the world music section, right next to the Bulgarian throat singers.

For that matter, there are Native Hawaiian activists here who are agitating for independence. Your 48-star flag may yet fly again.

Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite state? We've already eliminated 23 (and separated two from the Union entirely), so tell me, which state floats your boat, and why?
