Virginia is the best by far, all the ATF you can ever want.

Sic Semper Tyrannis

And Seung Hui Cho

All five have large, accessible, cultural, intellectual cities that generate large amounts of money for the entire state, all have sufficient amounts of greenery, all have seasonal changes that vary the weather and keep it enjoyable for all sorts of people for some of the year (yay accessibility), and all have large amounts of lakes and rivers for beach communities and water transport of goods. Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania have some of the top schools in the country (University of Chicago, Northwestern, University of Michigan, UPenn). The only natural disasters that regularly occur in these areas are tornadoes and they are still pretty rare. These states have both rural, quiet communities and towns with greater than 100,000 people. Though in most of these states the northern parts are covered in snow in the winter, one can still enjoy all that these states have to offer in the southern parts of them. Accessibility, money, schooling, variety, ethnic diversity, etc. All the good things a state has to offer.

Kansas for sure.

Hot in the summer, cold in the winter.
The only thing I'd get rid of is the wind; it drives me crazy.

not anymore

Texas has all that

It has snow?

Other than that, Texas is fine by me. I wasn't arguing against any other states, just making sure some of the ones I personally like the best aren't being disregarded.

I would say, NEW YORK FTW. But theres a hella lot of pollution here...and you can get shot up on the block...and...okay, I lost my point. I guess the best state would be North Carolina. Its really nice and peaceful there.

Virginia? Are you kidding me? Nothing ever happens there. How can you rep a state that you get fined for cursing publicly, and the cops ride on razor scooters LMAO!

Yup. Texas is a big state. I woke up this morning and it was in the 30s O.o A few days ago it was in the 20's. Keeping in mind we're in one of the warmer spots of Texas, too. It was colder further in the state.

...How much snow do you guys get? I've never heard of snow in Texas.

It's the far Northwestern state that doesn't have snow. Ever. I swear. Just rain.

The no cursing thing really freaked my out. I came across a sign at Virginia beach, stood back, pulled out my camera and yelled "f**k that!" as I took a picture of the sign. I felt satisfied.

North/Central Texas gets snow, it's rare for south/east Texas to get snow.

I was in Dallas at my sister's cheerleading competition 4 years ago, and there was enough snow on the ground for parts of the highway to get shut down.

I like places where the stereotypes of each season are properly exhibited.

I heard this song at Hollister yesterday. But I agree. We got mo bounce in California. End of discussion.

You got to be effin kiddin me. I can not wait to get out of Virginia. I hate this place.

Virginia is like the worst place to live.

CA has Kaba Modern.

Well, I can tell you that it is not Illinois.

They're ill. But New York has the Rock Steady Crew. RSC > KM. Not to take anything away from them and those two pop-lockin' sexpots, but RSC is godly on the cardboard.

Is there really a best state? Or would this be better if we focused on a metropolitan area?

Texas aint bad, they got Mordor.

Its all about MIAMI bitchessss!

i love florida.

Florida is garbage bin where all of the retirement homes go.

OVERALL, I don't like Cali. But I like where I live. Since I'm right between the mountains and the beach. :D

Haha, just 'cause all the old people go to FL doesn't mean that's all that is there... old ladies with their boobies falling out of their bathing suits.

My personal opinion would be to live somewhere that there's not that much snow. I hate it. We get 8 inches in one night and still have school the next day, if that were to happen anywhere else they would flip. I must admit, it was in the 30s today, so no complaining about today.

You must really not know shit about this awesome state. Weve got the most beautiful beaches in the world, weve got the most beautiful women in the world, and a thriving economy.

Yea weve got retrement homes but you should really do your homework before you talk your shit about someone elses home. oka missHYGIENIC ?

michigan b/c in the winter it is cold and you can snowmobile(sp) play Ice hockey Snowboarding skiing Eat snow (but not the yellow snow) and in the summer its hot so you can swim sun bathe go for walk, jet ski, go boating, go tubeing and a ton of other stuff. its like the best of both worlds

I don't like california, because it's always summer and the closest we get to winter are overcast skys and rain. I like the snow and I think that the best state to live in would be new jersy. ( my cousin lives there).

Mississippi lol, hurricanes ftw. No. My actual vote is Kentucky, since very few natural disasters occur there.

wasnt twister filmed in kentucky? or was it kansas? hmm. maybe neither.

^ i beleve it was kansas

Cali - nearly perfect weather.

CA. the sunshine :D

California.

i only read a few pages, so i'm not sure if anyone mentioned where i live~
COLORADO

true, we lose when it comes to beaches..but the weather is always different and wonderful. we have the most sunny days, so technically, we SHOULD be the sunshine state :)

it's SO diverse.

while we do not have beaches, we have the best mountains!

and it's just the best. haha.

Texas and California have mountains and diversity. I bet we have more diversity than y'all do.

hmmmm, those states are KINDA bigger

gosh, people love california

Wilmington, DE

i've lived in miami all my life. but thats mainly it, miami and orlando. lol.

so i vote for california.
the place is beautiful.

^ but is is ALWAYS hot! and there is NO snow!!!!!!

Obviously if you think that California is always hot and doesn't have any snow, you haven't been there. Some parts of California does have snow, just not in most areas. And it's not always hot. It's cold as shit right now in SF. And at night it's pretty damn cold too. It's not even always hot. The winters are cold like hell as well. So you don't know what you're talking about. California > Michigan.

lol. yes, it is hot. but it gets cool at night.
its really a crazy weather.
but its great over there. lol.
plus it snows in some of the northern parts of cali.

^^gosh, i didnt mean to offend anyone

^ lol. you didn't.
at least, not me.

oh, no not you i ment superficial and Angeline.

^ now i do :) back at ya

you offeneded me though, i demand an apology
