3. what you hate about it
I'll start. from minnesota (live in colorado now but i'll do minnesota)
1. MN
2. Beautiful woods, hills, prairies, lakes, plentiful outdoor activities and Minneapolis is cool. also it's really far north and cold
3. cold and black lives matter is really annoying here. and the skiing blows mostly
pretty good state 2bh
1. PA
2. Good wilderness, loads of abandoned shit, neat history.
3. Wannabe redneck confederate assholes and occasional fuckery by energy companies. But at least we're not WV.

Weather
>>51129835
1. I hail from the same state as OP.
2. I love the cold weather and how it deters others from being here. The relatively high-trust culture fixed comfortably in the middle of the best continent, inside the one single greatest nation that has ever existed, period, PERIOD, is an incredibly comfy and fairly low-rent place to be. We do not have the immediate security problems that other cunts or regions have, here. Also:
-MST3K
-The Mississippi, a metaphor for America
-cultural proximity to Canada
-keking the parallel with our little stinkfinger
-our two baseball championships (I have them proudly displayed as a little shrine in my closet).
3. Not much, really. The Somalis suck, of course but compared to the rest of America, that's about it.
1. MA
2. plenty of nice rural towns with colonial houses from when this country was born. Luxury shopping malls less than an hour drive away
3. overpopulated
>>51132872
>drugs
No no, you see, OP told you to put the things you hate THIRD, so it should go "weather and drugs" in the last line or similar.
>>51133110
typical amerikek. for you drugs are good because it means blind consumption. for the people whose communities are affected by drug production it's a different affair.
>>51132815
Amen, brother, amen.
1. NJ
2. Decent public education, good pizza because of based Italian Americans, based Irish Americans, beautiful and wealthy white suburbs, Pinelands, South Jersey agriculture, shore resorts/towns for summer, foliage in the fall, snow that isn't too unbearable in the winter.
3. Governor is shit, taxes are way too high, Jersey Shore stereotypes that somehow still exist, our accents, major violence and poverty problems in cities like Camden, Paterson, Trenton, densely populated, arrogant, nobody likes us.
1. IL
2. It's quiet and white in the rural areas (true for most murican rural areas) and our current governor is hilariously fucking with the liberals in Chicago.
3. Everything else.

3. WHERE DO I FUCKING START?
Colorado (rockies, not in the flat areas where all the homosexuals live)
I like that its beautiful, lots of shit to do like hunt, ski, hike, fish, heroin, its always fun to speed down winding mountain roads at 90mph where the limit is 35mph, chill people (mostly), a nice metropolis near by (denver)
I hate tourists, jews, jewish tourists, frozen roads, animals jumping in front of your car, expensive, drive 4 hrs a day average, tourists driving slow, upper class or upper middle class white people who do nothing much but ride their bicycles wearing their helmets and shit, etc

Nice. Has Sandoval now finally decided wether you're taking refugees or not? A lot of other Nevadans seemed against it.

Are you the Vocaroo grill from /cum/
If not then you should know that there's a vocaroo grill from Minnesota in /cum/
>>51134418
>>51134418
Well at least he has the balls to oppose this whole thing. The symbolic value is important too in my opinion.
>>51134377
>>51134418
To expound on this, there's something in the US called the refugee act that allows the president to accept 50,000 refugees a year (I think he can take more but might need Congressional approval). If you consider the size of the US (both geographically and population wise), that's a really insignificant amount of people when you consider they'd get spread all over. But I don't think any refugees would come to Nevada. If they do, it will be an insignificant amount and they'll probably be on some random Federal territory. Maybe they'll go to Ayyrea 51 to get tested on
>>51134490
>the balls to oppose this whole thing
It's literally the most politically expedient thing to say, and requires the opposite of balls
>>51134445
am not a grill, sorry
shes from minnesota eh? maybe ill actually wade through /cum/ now
>>51134516
fucking obummer holy god
is this going to set a precedent for the president to just ignore congress
if it does, I at least hope it leads to the reform of executive orders/directives
>>51134377
>nevada is my favorite state
Really really shit taste.
>>51134561
nvm carter signed it
no bully
fuck carter too
>>51134561
Seeing as how our Congress isn't actually elected by popular vote anymore, I don't see the problem.
>>51134561
I think the exact law says that the president can in emergency situations accept more than 50,000 per year.
Honestly I don't think that accepting refugees is politically popular in many places and he may be shooting his party in the foot if he does it. I wouldn't be shocked if even in California there's a "red tide" that develops - funnily enough the Hispanic population there is fairly xenophobic, at least when it comes to Muslims.
>>51134524
No western european politician would have the backbone to say no to Islamic immigration, but I guess you're right. I've forgotten that you have aren't as insane as we are.
>>51134516

>CA
>Love:

>Hate:

>>51134576
Fite me. I also like Wyoming, Texas and Arizona :^]
>>51134650
There's actually a decent Muslim population in the LV area, they have a mosque and everything
I think Muslims in the US are different than Muslims in Europe in the sense that they are recent immigrants and recent LEGAL immigrants to the US are generally well educated people who are probably a.) more secular and b.) more business minded. They dominate a few business tracts like Indians. Probably wealthier than white Americans (again because they have a small population and the only ones allowed in were successful capable dudes)
>>51134669
Texas and Wyoming are underunderstandable. I've lived in AZ for many years and I think its hell on earth and left as soon as I was able to but even az has some good qualities.
Nevada is complete shit, literally no redeeming qualities. So bad. Vegas is a shithole, outside the strip its a horrible ghetto or endless suburbs. The rural areas are desolate and shit.
>>51134694
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/10/being-muslim-in-las-vegas
Article about it. The Muslim guy they interview is an upstanding citizen.
Also I think the refugee thing would be a bit different in the US in the sense that we wouldn't coddle them as much as it sounds like they get coddled in Europe (with welfare). I think they'd form business communities and the like and probably contribute decently but what do I know. I don't want em.
>>51134650
A mosque themed casino would probably be pretty popular

>>51134694
I didn't even knew that, when I've been to Las Vegas I haven't really seen anyone who looked like our muslims, or I might have mistaken them for mexicans. What's your opinion on Reno? Is it really as bad as people say? I've only been to Pahrump and Carson City as bigger towns. Reno seemed comfy from the pictures I've seen but people hated on it online saying it's full of crime, it's smelly etc.
>>51133059
From MN too. Fuck the Somalis. Smell bad and can't drive for shit.
>>51134694
>>51134786
They're just waiting until they amass more wealth and influence. Then they'll start demanding special treatment.
Off them when they get uppity.
>>51134810
Its complete shit.
Like everywhere else in Nevada
>>51134810
I've never spent a significant amount of time in Reno so I can't really answer you. I'm not originally from Nevada, only work here for the gold mines.
>>51133332
>lots of shit to do like hunt, ski, hike, fish, heroin
>heroin
>>51134842
You seem mad.
I mean I don't know, I probably can't really judge by a month of vacation there but I really enjoyed it.
>>51134855
Okay, well it doesn't really matter, chances that I can go to Nevada again any time soon are pretty low.
>>51134898
>>51134898
Where in Germany do you live, just out of curiosity? The only place I've been to is Essen/Gelsenkirchen in the NRW and didn't get an overly favorable impression of it but I've been told that that's not indicative of the rest of the country at all (only the North)
>>51134864
Heroin's great.
I like that its generally higher quality here than other places I've lived.
Hondureñans in denver sell a shitload
>>51134940
Ah it's you. Yeah NRW is pretty shitty in general, the Ruhrpott has a bad reputation. It's not extremly different from other german federal states as long as you don't live here.
>>51135019
yeah my German family lives in Gelsenkirchen (not Turks)
they said Bavaria is significantly nicer but they have a good thing going there so why move

What else do you expect from a /pol/tard who lives in the middle of nowhere?
1. Missouri
2. Lots of wilderness, woods and hills have a unique feel to them. Crystal clear rivers. Lots of different types of places to explore.
3. Impoverished, backwards, and rude people in the country. KC is all whitewashed suburbs with no culture, STL is stuck in the past and can't seem to get into gear, plus all the race BS.

north jersey yes. North jersey also has hills and such. south jersey is basically either an extension of Philadelphia or it's beaches. In between, it's really really flat with pine trees.
>>51135323
I like this. im OP so i'm from Minnesota and I don't really know anything about Missouri besides meth. I'd like to see the ozarks though. KC and STL do not appeal to me whatsoever
>>51134829
>somalians
jesus christ. they drive all the sketchy taxis in Minneapolis and in Rochester they open up crappy groceries that fail soon afterwards. Well, at least they're trying.
>>51134669
What about New Mexico? Just recently went there twice in about a month period, really like it.
>>51135451
I haven't been to New Mexico but something seems strange about this place. I have to admit I know nothing about new Mexico, I couldn't even name it's capital.
>>51135451
>it's really really flat with pine trees.
I have not met anyone from Delaware, what's really flat :)
>somalians
>they drive all the sketchy taxis
God damn they took my future job! >_<
>>51135334
Downtown is an awful hobo colony. Those hills are bad for your car to start on and parking is extortionate. Outside of downtown everything is glorious, though, yeah
>>51135485
Still OP here. Agree about the strangeness. You go in and you have to remind yourself you're still in the USA. Capital is Santa Fe, a strange little adobe town.
beautiful state. Northern NM is basically poorer Colorado. It just has a feel to it I really like, as if it's overlooked or something but there it is, just chuggin' along. Rarely in the spotlight of national news. I can't put my finger on why I enjoy it otherwise. It's just New Mexico.
Any /newmexico/ here?
>>51135511
Bring some russians to Minnesota. We have far too many Bosnians.

Have you guys ever gone to those small indian towns that are really just glorified truck stops? With indians coming up to you at the gas station while you are already afraid of getting scalped or shot with a bow and arrow, but then they just ask you for money to buy malt liquor or try to sell you shitty indian jewelry so they can go buy malt liquor. Then you tell them nah man I'm good then more come up to you. So then you go to one of their pre-Columbian casinos filled with old people and truck drivers. You get bored, buy some discount cigarettes and leave speeding down the interstate hoping apaches dont ambush you and execute you in savage manners?
Because that's what the northern half of those states consist of.
How can you enjoy it, fuck.
>>51135570
What about North Dakota or Montana? As russian, I prefer deep and dark forests, mountaines, pickups, bearded woodsmen and other stuff.
>>51135451
The ozarks are awesome. The air has a very distinct dryness and smells like cedar. Lots rivers, caves, and springs, even artesian wells. The land has a very ancient feel. Got to steer clear of the locals though. Meth is a real issue plus the fact that a lot of the men work at lead smelters.
>>51135640
That reminds me of some of the rural parts of my state (Alabama), but replace the Indians with crackhead white people who would gut you for your money or if you're anything they don't like (gay, black, etc.). And replace the casinos with seedy motels owned by Guju Indians.
>>51135640
I just like the natural beauty. In this desert between mountains in northern New Mexico there's a bridge over the Rio Grande and it's basically a mini grand canyon (Taos river gorge or something) and before you get to the bridge it's just lines of indians in pickups trucks selling trinkets for a quick buck. Definitely NONE of that in Minnesota, that's for damn sure.
>>51135640
Nevada has more to offer than only casinos. Of course gambling is fun, but the landscape is also nice and relatively diverse with the deserts in the south and the forrests at lake Tahoe. The people were nice, but not as fake as in California. You have guns as in some other states and goldrush ghosttowns.
>>51135686
Honest there are large swathes of the South that probably have a localized living quality comparable to sub-Saharan Africa. But the people vote Republican for some reason.
I find it half amusing that Clinton's organization spends so much goddamn money trying to help Africa when there are parts of his own damn state that need it badly.
>>51135640
>>51135682
>>51135686
>>51135708
It sounds so .. diverse. Is America really so different? I thought it was a little standardized.
>>51135674
North Dakota is oil and farmland with a bit of forest. It will have the Russian cold, snow and wind though. Eastern Montana is essentially the same as North Dakota, but when you go west closer to Idaho then you'll get the deep woods and mountains. The rednecks and pickups are everywhere in that area though, forest or not.
>>51135759
The idea that the US is the same everywhere is a meme Euros put on this site
>>51135759
the united states is huge.
You have almost every ecosystem here. Tropics to tundra, we have it all (only thanks to Alaska and Hawaii though. without that, we'd have sub-tropics to alpine, no tundra). But, we have pretty much everything in between though yeah.
>>51135674
Look in the west for that kind of stuff, but not a specific state. Northern Arizona has a lot of forested mountains, but southern Arizona is an ultra hot desert, for example.
>>51135674
Also northern minnesota isn't mountains but it's some of the deepest woods in the country. I love it. lakes everywhere too
>>51135759
It can vary quite a bit.
Region to region its diferent peoples, different drug of choice, different geography.
And occupied mexico (west US) is best US even despite all the red indians and such

I'm here not so long ago. I just read "Travels with Charley" by John Steinbeck. He wrote that Eisenhower in 50-s built the highway so it destroyed patriarchal, rural America, and local dialects. (sorry for my English btw)
OH
The geography. The lakeshore and woods of the north and west are relaxing. Appalachian Ohio is great for camping, hiking, isolation, and other outdoors stuff.
Very blue collar economy. Heavy emphasis on manufacturing. Not many white collar jobs outside of big cities. Most of the major cities are bad with some good parts. Columbus is ok, and Youngstown has so much mafia that the FBI has a sizeable presence there.
>>51135885
lol, maybe a little, but no.
>>51135835
Long Island is the definition of flyover tho
Literally nobody goes there who isn't from there
>>51135885
Well that and the fact that travel and out of state settlement is pretty common really reduced local dialects and culture imo
>>51135708

>>51135885
Your English is good, especially compared to other Russians on here
Steinbeck was way over-exagerrating. Evidently there's some continuum but that just comes out of development. In terms of many things (language used, cuisine, interests, etc.) there are large geographic differences. If I had a conversation as an Alabaman with someone from say Boston we might not be able to fully understand one another
>>51135446
Anything in NYC is going to be really expensive. NJ is a better option if you're strapped for cash. There are some ghetto parts of NYC that are semi-affordable, though. It depends on what you want. If you want the whole Manhattan experience, you might as well live anywhere from Queens to Connecticut since it's going to take you 1+ hours to get there if you don't live there.
>>51135759
You know the 'America has no culture' meme? That came about because europoors cant reasonably peg one culture archetype to the whole country.
>>51135885
Watch the show "Swamp People" and then watch a reality TV show that takes place in a big city like LA or NYC or whatever. These people are part of the same country. That is how diverse America is.

I'm not sure how many Russkie posters there are on here but I at least know I talked to one about that I'm taking a Baltic cruise that will stop in St Petersburg next summer
Should be cool, I want to see the Hermitage, Peterhof, Church of Savior on Blood, etc. There's a weird rule that if I leave the ship for any reason other than official cruise-run business I have to get a special visa that costs like $500.
>>51136119
>I'd rather live in Colorado
WE'RE FULL AS FUCK
>>51136314
>There's a weird rule that if I leave the ship for any reason other than official cruise-run business I have to get a special visa
Yeah, some sort of stupid restrictions back to the USSR, hate it.
Also, Hermitage has long queues, full of noisy chinese, etc. I'd prefer the Russian Museum. Tons, TONS of epic stuff, very chip ticket, no queues, almost no turists. And should definitely go next to St. Isaac's Cathedral, it will break your mind.
>>51136478
yea thanks man, we have like 3 days and I have to do official ones with the cruise since my dad doesn't want to spring for the $500 special visa. I think St Isaac's and Russian Museum are options. I still need to pick which excursions I'm doing
>>51136505
Good luck, man. Importantly, do not be afraid of russians, they look very trickly, tough and unsmily, but in fact they do not want some evil or gonna hurt you, they just closed to strangers.
>>51136589
I have dealt with Russians before, there's a decently sized community in the Bay Area
I have to go to work now, take care
