I'd rather die in Alabama than live in New Joisey.
Go ahead. Have you lived in Bama or NJ? I've lived in both states.
"I'd rather die in Alabama than live in New Joisey."
I think most New Jerseyans would rather have you die in Alabama too.
See? You are missing the point here. We are not ASKING you to live in New Jersey. I don't think anyone is twisting your arm or trying to force you to live in New Jersey ... are they? Therefore, we're happy you live in Ohio where you want to be. So, choosing to die in Ohio rather than to live in New Jersey just doesn't make sense.
