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

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.

You got a deal. We’ll seal our borders and shut every pipeline at the border.

Louisiana is the drunkest? Why would anyone think that?

Just because we have drive thru daiquiri shops every 1/2 mile or so?

The summers in Texas are so bad, most of the reptiles migrate to Death Valley to beat the heat.

When I lived in Texas I saw scorpions that looked like mini dinosaurs. Insects the size of small birds...

They’re sisters. So you get to use the ‘ole multiple rule. 3x14=42. You’re good to go. By a long shot! Roll Tide....

If the file name for that pic is any indication they’re college cheerleaders, so they probably are of age.

Damn. That means I AM getting old...

Kansas was voted "worst scenery." Arizona was in the five worst along with New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska. There are people out there who think Arizona is all sand. I don't think they really know where the Grand Canyon is.

It's not all that uncommon, though. When I was a kid I wondered just how much you could put into a picture magazine called Arizona Highways beyond sand and asphalt. I've learned since then.

I grew up in Ohio too and have always bought it was a beautiful state.

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.
The survey is 100% correct, y’all... nothing to see down here, sucks to live in Texas... move on!

Add "most sensitive".
