We are soooooo edjumancated here in Georgia.
We can’t buy a six pack on a Sunday in any grocery store. That must have been the tipper.
5. Ohio
Yep. Had to leave.
OMG!! I left TEXAS to move to OHIO.
I now own a ‘vacation home’ in beautiful TOLEDO that I can’t GIVE AWAY!
I don’t know if it’s a problrm in this country today, or if it’s a general problem where you can be assured of the existence of a certain number of arrogant jerks. Whatever the case, we are being plagued by people who just can’t seem to get through the day without interfering with someone else’s life. We’ve got too many people who find it easy to sit back and think, “people shouldn’t be able to do that,” or “people should be made to do that,” and apparently no shortage of opportunistic parasites willing to accommodate them.
It’s apparrently very easy for these people. It’s also apparently very safe for them, too. It’s safe because no one makes arrogant people pay for being arrogant.
Maybe we need a group of brave people dedicated toward increasing the cost of arrogance. Whenever someone thinks someone died and made him God, and starts making other people’s lives hell, maybe that person needs some negative reinforcement.
Maybe someone keys his car. Maybe he finds his lawn dying. Or maybe, if it’s warranted, someone kicks him in the n*ts out of the blue. Maybe people who think their **** doesn’t stink need to be made to learn that if they ‘eff with the world, the world will ‘eff with them.
Who vacations in Toledo? LOL
Well now there is an oxymoron - Vacation and Toledo in the same sentence.
dummass.
(and I say that in the most good-natured way possible)
Beautiful homes in Wyoming...I wouldn’t mind moving out there....When I win the lottery “yea right”
the truth hurts...
LMAO!!! That was one funny exchange.
Let’s see, what famous politician is from Alaska?
So the “Live Free or Die” state of New Hampshire didn’t make the top ten for personal freedom?
Not exactly -- BOTH states are quite Prohibitionist when it comes to recreational drugs. Neither one has had sense enough to decriminalize, let alone re-legalize. But my hopes are high that they will reverse course over the next few years.
Also, I hear, a big difference in taxes.
MD is #1...big surprise. /s
I’m sure Montgomery Co. has a LOT to do with the rating.
LOL!!
And TX is where I'm going to return.
Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.
Oh, dear...
I certainly agree with #1!
What about Missouri???
“Truth squads”
“Rightwing extremist advisory”
“Domestic Terrorist Glossary”
How did they miss the list?
