I think Pennsylvania is the greatest state ever! I'm super serial! There's not that much bad that come out from the Keystone State. It has a rich history, the Steelers, vast forests, nice people, not over populated. It's just a great place to be. It has four distinct seasons as well.

Just look at this sweet flag!

It's no New Jersey, but it's ok.

New Jersey needs to sink into the sea.

New Jersey needs to sink into the sea.
Yeah, because the Filthydelphia shore will be such a great tourist attraction.

You're just jealous.

New jersey is stuck in a time warp. I guess back in the 80's they thought society couldn't get any better with the coming of Bon Jovi.

New Jersey needs to sink into the sea.

Jerseys got personality. Pennsylvania is just another bland, boring, square state with nothing to offer. Philadelphia is a toilet, and Pittsburgh is not far behind.

Take that NJ :upyours:

It'd be better than having Camden as a neighbor.. :p

Two of the states I dislike more than New Jersey would have to be Texas and Utah.

Camden's got it's uses. Need heroin? Camden's there for you. Want to get in a fight on your way into a concert? Camden will provide someone for you to beat on. Need someplace to park an obsolete battleship? Camden will take it.

I've got family in Utah.

They aren't polygamists are they? :p

Utah, where the mormons roam

Bon Jovi? Is that the best you've got? All I've seen in PA are poster-children for birth control of one sort or another. From inbred hicks in the west to the inbred old-money morons around Chadd's Ford to the witless losers in south philly who look at me like I said I'm a hezbollah terrorist from Beruit when I say I'm from Trenton. No offense.
Bill Cosby?

I think it is a large, roughly rectangular state nestled between NY, NJ, OH and MD.

They aren't polygamists are they? :p

No, They're normal people, except for my tweaker cousin and my now deceased murderer cousin.

Ahh the battle ship is pretty.. danm you.

Wow :(

I heard it has vampires... :eek:

(On the Simpsons)

Not anymore :mp5:

Wow :(
I'm sorry, but it is (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y79/Goomg/philly/Picture004.jpg) :(

I think pennsylvania is ok. I live in the fascist south where everyone believes that every single dispute can be solved by war or the death penalty.

Does that mean you live in Texas?

Eh, Pennsylvania sucks ass... Seriously.

The place has nothing to offer. Philly and Pittsburg have got nothin' on the other New England metropolitan centers, the hicks are a pale imitation of the real thing, local politics are even more fucked up then you would expect, there is really no real opportunity to be found anywhere in this God forsaken land (everyone leaves), and it's possibly the most boring state this side of the Mississippi. Its history is probably the most interesting thing about it and that's saying approximately fuck all.

That is a nice battleship. But we have Gettysburg, Bushy Run, Germantown, and Brandywine battlefields.

There's one problem with Pa. that would keep me from moving there, stop signs on expressway entry ramps. That's totally insane.

Does that mean you live in Texas?

No, I live in an extremely close-minded community in Tennessee.

I hate the Turnpike but love Route 66, so much open hightway to speed on :D

That is a nice battleship. But we have Gettysburg, Bushy Run, Germantown, and Brandywine battlefields.
I don't know if this is a bad thing but.. we are the home of Hershey..

Also, the countries oldest brewery, and cable tv was invented here.. or something.

I went to Hershey and loved it. I can't believe I forgot about it. And where I live, there's Kennywood amusement park.

I've been wanting to go to Kennywood for a long time.. take me.

The Steel Phantom is my favorite roller coaster.

For Pennisilvania, the land where we fought for our rights!

Let's see:

Boring. Very, very boring.

Has a history of invading neighboring countries.

Mine disasters.

Has put a man in jail for thought crimes. (John Knox)

I use to live just North of Pittsburgh and graduated from undergraduate school in PA. The State has a lot going for it: nice people, lovely contryside, some of the best educational institutions in the world, etc.

I still prefer North Carolina though. :D

NJ Rocks:upyours:


The peoples republic of New Jersey ...

Like Camden is a garden spot...btw they stole all the toilets...not to mention Trenton....they tried to fence them here .

Pennsylvania has a very diverse population urban Vs bib wearers vs.Quakers. vs farmers ...mountain men ...etc. NJ has the malls -Atlantic City..the Shore
and more population per square mile than anyplace else in the US..not to mentiom taxes to choke a bear . But gas is cheaper there and Booze..and My Daughter and some of my friends live there...so I cant be wishing it slipped into the Atlantic.

Part of the beuty of living in The United States of America is the difference
between the States .

viva la differance !

What the hell is up with using the word "serial" in that context?

**** Penn State!!! GO PURDUE!!! BOILER UP!!!

Yay! Pennsylvania! Philadelphia is teh pwnz0r.

The only problem is Central Pennsylvania...to paraphrase,

"To summarize Pennsylvania, it's Philadelphia and Pittsburg on the ends and Alabama with Amish in between."

Ain't that the truth. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, harrisburg and the areas surrounding them are the only real good places.

I actually live near Greensburg

Two of the states I dislike more than New Jersey would have to be Texas and Utah.

Utah definitely outranks West Virginia for the most inbred, backward communities in the US.

You can't escape, just give in. make it easy on yourself! Muwahahahahaha!!

I shall never give in

Yes, I gorgot about those states too.

You will submit! You are weak, Pennsylvania is strong and will dominate the Earth! I'm super serial you guys!

I agree completely, every state has its positives and negatives. I live in NJ, and believe me, New Jersey would suprise you. Once you get away from Atlantic City, Camden, Trenton, Newark and Patterson, you will find some of the most scenic drives in the country. The major cities of New Jersey are toilets. There are lots of terrific communities along the shore, and the Highlands has some of the most beautiful trails in the northeast. The people of New Jersey tend to be somewhat crusty, but friendly and hard working. I would not live anywhere else, and Ive traveled to just about every state, except for the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.

I've been to PA a few times. It's kinda bland, but other than that, I have no problems with it. A few spots I've been to that I really enjoyed are Hershey, PA and EMR Paintball (in New Milford).

What the hell is up with using the word "serial" in that context?

According to the Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=serial) it's shorthand slang for "serious". I have no idea where it comes from either, this is the first I've ever heard it.

Al Gore uses it :D

A little bit of the Midwest bordering the garden state. IT also has some German-speaking people who think the British still rule and the world is in the 17th century.

Those Amish make some damn fine furniture. There such simple people who live a peaceful life.

Kulikovo, what part of PA you from? I'm up here in the northeast outside Scranton. You?

The worst thing about PA is the roads. They have some pretty dangerous roads: falling rock, slick in winter, no guard rails in high places, and deer EVERYWHERE (not to mention a million "High DUI Area" signs). I-70 and I-80 both suck. Plus, US-22 can be a scary trip in places. However, it is a very pretty place in the fall. Driving through the mountains and valleys can be beautiful when the tree leaves are changing colors. Plus, they have some great universities. I also love Pittsburgh. My man grew up in Altoona; and while that place is going to hell, the surrounding areas are peaceful and have a lot of history to them (there are also a TON of haunted areas).

Heh, you'd be surprised. There are barely any deer left. I know. I freezed my ass off to shoot one. Did I see one? No. Might've helped if I didn't fall asleep on post, though... :p

Anyway...
There is a reason our roads are so bad. The state puts in just as much money into road maitenence as any other state, but the problem is the climate. The roads just can't take the rapid temperature changes.

Never been to it, so I could care less about Pennsylvania unless a natural (or man-made) disaster hits it. Then I'll care.

That's because all the deer are dead on the side of the roads! It's hard to drive I-70 from mid-Ohio to mid-PA during deer season because there are so many dead deer just laying on the side of the road. We spend about four hours on I-70 (until it becomes the turnpike) and about every 10 miles, there's another dead deer. If you want to catch a deer, just hop in your car/truck and drive around for a bit!!

I really can't talk about the roads because I am from Ohio and it takes us years to complete any sort of road work. Roads in both states are awful, but you can tell PA takes more weather abuse. I think the problem in Ohio is that our road work isn't handled properly through ODOT and Taft (for all we know, the mob is running things). Both states, however, need to re-design their on and off ramps and get more guard rails where they are needed.

What's that about...?

And I was out this morning for turkey up in Wayne County. I guarantee there is not a single bird in this state. Either that or they've gone mute. I must say I got a very relaxing nap today.

You are.. semi-near me.

And there are turkey! Turkey all around!

Are you joking? What the hell? STOP signs on expressway entry ramps?

Pennsylvania sucks. I was there on vacation once. Plus seeing Amish people shop at Liz Claiborne was disturbing.

I love PA...well the Western side anyway...the side with pittsburgh! Gotta love the steel city...better than nasty ass philadelphia, which IMO should given to Jersey, since Jersey is about as dirty as philly, so they belong together.

Peace, fellow Pennsylvanians. We must not fight each other. Let us turn towards a common foe, West Virginia.

Yes, turkey in Lackawanna. Not in Wayne, where I go to hunt the damned birds.

And I'm over here in Olyphant outside of Scranton.

The state where you can't breath? The place with all the cocky cubans? The place where a/c is the only chance of survival?

Looooooove Florida.. :rolleyes:

Omg...I love our humidity...If I go to any of the dry states my skin peels and drys out.

Yes..well there are only Cubans in South Florida..what about the rest of the state?

Yes....well I'd rather live here than anywhere else in the country where heating is your only chance of survival.

i live in a condo in florida during the summer (St.Pete). i enjoy it very much... :)

Humidity is.. baaaad!

The first minute that I was in the hotel lobby I accidently bumped into this cuban girl.. she gave me the most cocky stare like "if I knew english I would fucking yell at you" so meh.

I'm cold blooded so I hate heat.. I love PA winters. I can't stand the 70 temps..

That's the one thing I hate, the winters. I HATE the cold. Each time I shiver I begin to freak out.

I dont like the cold either, unless I'm skiing/snowboarding.

PA has the Steelers so I could hate the state just for that but I'll let it pass.

I've actually never been to St. Petersburg...but I heard its nice.

I live in Ft. Lauderdale....and I very much love South Florida.

It's got nothing on Texas or Illinois.

I laugh at those two states. I pitty Illinois and scorn Texas

Texas is quite possibly the worst state in the US.

Well, I've seen what people think of Penn and of Jersey...but what about Florida?

What do you guys think about my state?

Florida is nice and warm, though I waould not want to be there in either August, September or November. The place is awfully flat though, kinda scary for a person used to hills.

What do you guys think of my state, Maryland?

Maryland? That bottom-feeding state south of glorious Pennsylvania? (joke)

Maryland, hmm. I don't know. The last time I went I was so little I hardly remember. It's good I suppose.

Maryland? That bottom-feeding state south of glorious Pennsylvania? (joke)

Hey, Maryland and Pennslyvania are friends. They are allied in the fight against Virginia. *shakes fist* Darn Virginians.

I hate West Virginia more than Virginia

Take that West Virginia! :upyours:

West Virgina, ugh. It should be abolished from the union.

It should be nuked

West Virgina, ugh. It should be abolished from the union.

West Virginia isn't actually that bad; it's just gotten a bad wrap because it's very rural.

Plus, it's better than Virginia.

If Pennsylvania was a sexy Brazilian woman, I'd marry her :fluffle:
