Kingston. That's Kingston, Ontario, not Jamaica. Kingston General Hospital, to be more specific. I'm still in Kingston... I think I'm stuck here with all the lame little plaques like "This is the building where Sir John A. Macdonald, first Prime Minister of Canada, first began to practice law." "This is the building where Sir John A. Macdonald, first Prime Minister of Canada, got really drunk one of the thousand times he did that while procuring the services of a prostitute after winning over the voters with alcohol." (The second one is a slight exageration, but honestly.)

And cows. But really, there's pretty cool places to go in Lincoln, they have some awesome parties, especially among the college kids. Oh, and the Huskers (I have to mention that, having lived in Nebraska for 3 years, and they do rule everyone :P)


I was born in a little town in the suburbs of Houston, called Webster. I think I would've rather been born either in New Orleans like some of my cousins, or at Offett, like my brother. But I can say I'm a Texan, so that's a plus.

All those times, the cops kept saying fishing was bad for the environment and kicked us out). Also, it has some of the best medical facilities in the country, and screw tourism. If someone goes to a state simply to view attractions, they're idiots.

You are such a moron. Nebraska is not racist, it only seems like half of our population is non-white. And we do have black guys on our teams, I really don't know what you are talking about. And you know what, it wasn't all Frank Solich's fault. But a lot of it was his fault. Frank Solich is not good at recruiting. He doesn't make an impact like coachs like Tom Osborne did on the kids he was trying to recruit. And what the heck do you mean by "jacked up place to live"?

Minnesota is by far my favourite state, way more than California or Texas. Believe me, no US state is as dull as Saskatchewan. The front cover of my citie's newspaper usually has some article about a local man losing his dog or someone having their car pulled out of a "No Parking" zone. Our movie theatres close down because not enough people both to visit them, our streets have crater sized pot holes in them, it's below -40 celcius in the winter sometimes, our airport is tied in with the local flying club and a prize on the radio is a trip to see a country concert in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Yes, Americans may see Iowa, Nebraska, and whatever else as dull but at least they're not suicidally dull. As for the Dickinson joke, I get it, although I live in Regina, which is often referred to as "Vagina" by outsiders and I know Kryozerkia will find some joke about that :P.

Minnesota is by far my favourite state, way more than California or Texas. Believe me, no US state is as dull as Saskatchewan. The front cover of my citie's newspaper usually has some article about a local man losing his dog or someone having their car pulled out of a "No Parking" zone. Our movie theatres close down because not enough people both to visit them, our streets have crater sized pot holes in them, it's below -40 celcius in the winter sometimes, our airport is tied in with the local flying club and a prize on the radio is a trip to see a country concert in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Yes, Americans may see Iowa, Nebraska, and whatever else as dull but at least they're not suicidally dull. As for the Dickinson joke, I get it, although I live in Regina, which is often referred to as "Vagina" by outsiders and I know Kryozerkia will find some joke about that :P.

YOu must be Ill-informed to think that Minnesota is the best state. Massachuesetts Ownz by FAR! It has the best city(Boston) it has the best Baseball team(Boston REd Sox) it has the best Hockey team(Bruins) best Football(american Football) team(Patriots), the Best Basketball team(Celtics) and the best soccer team(revolution). Plus i was born there :D! Adn it has all the shops you can dream of, it has pristine beaches, it has beautiful scenery, and the people are nice. Oh, and you can always go visit our almost-as-awesome neighbor Rhode Island for some Beaching and to visit the Providence Mall/Imax Theater!

New Orleans, Louisiana. A most fascinating place. French, Spanish, Creole, Cajun, Indian, and American influences all go into this place.

Near Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, Delmont specifically.

Jeez man, your pole bombed.

Delmont? I am from near Pittsburgh. I am from Windber, PA, which the next closest city is Johnstown (aka Flood City), and then Pittsburgh.

Ok for one thing Boston is not the best city, having been there, it's a larger version of Atlantic Canada cities which are unimpressive. It just has more pro-athletic teams and universities. The Patriot won the Superbowl against a team that wasn't even supposed to make the playoffs and will likely miss the playoffs this year, just like they did after beating St.Louis 2 years ago. Gary Payton doesn't even want to play for the Celtics, he'd rather play for the awful Golden State Warriors. The Bruins lost Brian Rolston, Mike Knuble and Michael Nylander in the off season plus had to make a huge pay out to Sergei Gonchar (who is very overrated) and may not even get Joe Thorton back if he goes to play with HC Davos. Plus you guys blew a 3-1 series lead to Montreal of all teams last year. As for the Red Soxs, the curse lives on and with no more Nomar, it 'ell last at least another few years. I personally could care less about shopping (we have malls in Canada), beaches and scenery, sounds like Halifax and yes, the people are nice there too. I actually like Rhode Island cuz thats where Peter Griffin lives!!!! In the deadbeat city I live in, there's an Imax Theatre. MINNESOTA HAS THE VIKINGS! They got Randy Moss and Daunte Culpepper, the best 1-2 punch in the league, yes better than McNabb to Owens. Also, Shiznayo, Canada does have the largest mall, West Edmonton Mall but hey, Mall of Americas good too. I personally don't hate Massachuesetts but I'm annoyed you (The Lightning Star) think I'm so wrong not loving it. Also, I'm not ill-informed, I've been to both states. My apologies, it's actually a tie between Louisiana and Minnesota. I love New Orleans and especially Bourban (forget the spelling) Street.

Yes. But the addition they will be adding to the Mall will be bigger than the original Mall itself, so the MOA will be much bigger, and ulitimately, biggest in the world.

Massachusetts has more than just Boston, Y'know! Waht about all the other stuff ive said? Ive LIVED there for gods sake, for plenty of years too!

Long live the Boston Red Sox! See you when they win the 2019 World Series(exactly 100 years since they won their last one) :D.

And i dont go insulting YOUR states! All i said where the good things about my state! Do you want me to insult Canada, or Minnesotta? Or any other state? BEcause i havent done that yet, and dont make me do it.

And Boston still is awesome. You just havent seen the good parts of it.

Buddy, if you start insulting Canada or Minnesota, I'm not gonna stop you, given that people who live there hate it (Minnesota) and given I hate the part of Canada I live in, I wouldn't be all that upset. But don't go after Louisiana, no no no, it may be the dirty deep south but God, I've never eaten so much cajun food in my life! Actually part of the reason I dislike Boston is because my dads a Red Sox fan and I'm a Twins fan. Given that we have blown it EVERY time we get into the playoffs, he likes to rub in the one game away from the world series stuff in my face. I don't say anything but "the curse" does run through my mind at those moments. I was actually only in Boston for a weekend and I was only there to go to a Red Sox game this past summer. As for me being at the 2019 World Series, maybe I'll see you there too!

I HATE THE YANKEES, THEY HAVE TRUELY RUINED BASEBALL!!!! Anyways, sorry about what "I" said on Boston, my asshole of a friend got on and he just loves the Blue Jays and New York City, so you can guess why this all happened.


Here is a list of players the Yankees aquired this year:
Alex Rodriguez
Kenny Lofton
Garry Shieffield
Javier Vazquez
Kevin Brown
Paul Quantrill (He's a Canadian)
Ruben Sierra
Esteban Loaiza
Tom Gordon
Orlando Hernandez

A list of players they lost:
Alfonso Soriano
Aaron Boone
Roger Clemens
Nick Johnson
Jose Contreras
Jeff Nelson
Andy Pettitte
David Wells
Jeff Weaver
Juan Rivera

They got better in both pitching and batting and still manage to get swept at home by Anaheim. YANKEES SUCK!
