This One Map Shows How Americans Really Feel About Each Other
Business Insider ^ | 08/22/2013 | Walter Hickey

Posted on 08/22/2013 6:59:35 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Yesterday we published a set of maps that came from a survey about what Americans think of other states. 

Essentially, each respondent was asked to answer a question with a state that wasn't their own, like which state is the drunkest, the nicest, the most arrogant. 

We looked at the data and decided to compress the 22 maps into one map.

US STATES MAP

On this map, every state that won a superlative — first place in any question — has its claims to fame in bolded print. For instance, Colorado was the top vote getter in the Most Beautiful scenery category.

So, the designer of the survey is 12?

Keep in mind that schools are very busy preaching political correctness, leftist propaganda, and the wisdom of chairman Baraq, so some thing in the curriculum have to be omitted.

Texas the least favorite? Ha! Yes, please, kick us out, and we’ll take the best economy along with us.

You damned Yankees and Liberals would hate it here - we have broiling summer heat year ‘round, high humidity, hurricanes, tornadoes, snakes, spiders, scorpions, Mexicans, gun owners, Republicans and Christians. Beware!

Arizona is a beautiful state. Whoever dubbed it otherwise has probably never been there.

Texas: Least Favorite, Would like to see kicked out.

Great! I hope that means that Californians, New Yawkers, Illinoisians, oh-so-smart Washingtonians, and all other manner of Yankee and Left Coast liberal vermin will stay out of here.

Want to go halfsies on a billboard on I10 at the Cali border to advertise this?

As to 'kicked out', please don' tro me in dat brar patch, massa.

I would call this the BEST SCENERY...

Thank you, gorgeous indeed! We have a picture of my brother and myself standing literally at the edge of the canyon without any barrier what-so-ever (1954?) and I have no memory (age 3) of it! Got to go back there!

Steeler fans can be so over-the-top passionate that they often rub fans of other teams the wrong way.

No shite! The last thing we need to see is more U-hauls from kalifornicate, Nuevo York/Jersey, Minnysoter or Massa2shits.

Kick us out? Its only our sense of sticktoitiveness and staunch patriotism that’s keeping us from not letting the door hit us on the way out.
Like Brier Rabbit said “please don’t throw me in the brier patch”.

Betcha it’d look a lot bigger than that! There sure does seem to be a lot of “Texans at heart” that are caught somewhere else.

Nonsense. The perception of Philly fans is based on oft-repeated ancient tales about Santa being booed, targeted with snowballs, assaulted with batteries, and many other embellishments. The fanbase is generally intense but basically the same as in other Northeastern cities.

Arkansas the dumbest. OK, I could go along with that sixty years ago when we moved here from the Rockies, but not today, and lest not in WALMART country. The rest of the state is still a brick shy of a load.

Sam did more to up the education here than anyone around, broke the economic stranglehold of THE CHICKEN MEN who kept everyone in poverty (too poor to leave).

This is what SAM got us! http://crystalbridges.org/

Arizona is amazing, the weather here this July was the best I've seen since I arrived. The scenary? I think it's best we keep ignorant freaks out of our beautiful state. Let's keep it for wonderful people and some of the finest Americans I know who are blessed to experience the bounty of God's creation.
