TheOrcKing Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I came across one of the most amusing articles ever from the Business Insider of Australia. They basically ran a poll using a certain number of Americans and asked how each felt about the other states. The darkest color had the highest number of votes while the whitest color had next to none. Winner: Massachusetts, 264 of 1603 votes, 16% Winner: New York, 305 of 1603 votes, 19% Winner: Alaska, 85 of 1603 votes, 5% Winner: California, (stats unknown) Winner: Texas, 167 of 1581 votes, 11% Winner: California, 403 of 1581 votes, 25% Winner: California, 713 of 1411 votes, 51% Winner: Alabama, 113 of 1442 votes, 9% Winner: Colorado, 228 of 1545 votes, 15% Winner: Kansas, 174 of 1487 votes, 12% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That's funny. What does everyone have against Texas? They're all A$$^*%#s. Actually, having been to Texas several times, they're not that bad. It's the UT delta bravos that generally ruin for the rest of the state.

Migration Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 At least they didn't poll the best BBQ, could've started a second Civil War. Between North and South Carolina and Missouri and the rest of the country that thinks grilling equals BBQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That's funny. What does everyone have against Texas? I lived briefly in Abeline, it sucked and I don't care what George Hamilton says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've got friends in Austin, some who studied at UT. It's a fantastic city with a football team steeped in history. Good food, hot girls and decent weather. People are always gonna hate. I guess It's no different from suggesting that most on this site are nerds and geeks, oh hang on a moment.

MarleyMoose Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 According to this poll, we're a buch of smart asses with a weird accent here in Ma. Hard to argue! Wick pissar ( the"a" is silent) I'd say the "R" is silent with the Boston area folk. "Pissaaaaa". Here on the lower Cape we aren't afflicted with the accent.

Mr. Football Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think many of my fellow Texans wouldn't mind being "kicked out" of today's Amerika...would save us the trouble of having to secede... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
