Sparky has this thing, he hates the State of California because it is becoming over crowded and the State of Maine because it is so undercrowded.  One can drive for 20-50 miles on dirt roads and never see a house of town.

Question is, what State does Sparkey think is ideal, what States meets his high faulting idea of flawless.??

vesta, are you a complete dumbshit or are you just being silly?

The man owns a house in NH, right? And he's on record in more than a few threads about his boundless love for that state and while he bitches and moans about the snow and the cold and the cost of heating oil ( :-) ), guess where he hangs his hat?

The old adage is true -- when Soldiers (and Sailors, btw) are bitching, that's when they're happiest.

Don't misinterpret that bitching for lack of "flawlessness".

I never said I hated Maine because it was undercrowded.

I hate Maine because it's full of mouth-breathing social reject ri-tards who live welfare check to welfare check, bitch that they don't get enough for sitting on their asses, and are way too close to NH for my liking.  Ask Scoobie how much fun she had at Market Basket the other day.

And Texas has it's problems, but yeah, I could totally see myself living there.  And Wyoming.  Love it there as well.  You wanna talk open space, vesta?  Try the drive between Cody and Cheyenne sometime.

But for now, I'll take New Hampshire.  Beats the shit out of anything I had 5 years ago.

I give up, just how much fun did Scoobie have at Demoulas  (MB) ---Please don't tell me she got run over in the parking lot by a very old lady with a Maine plate on the car.

Texas - best place I've ever lived.  My husband's company has an office in Los Angeles and he could very easily go there but he won't.  He has to go there several times a year for a few days at a time and he hates it.  Of course, they also have an office in Hawaii, so...........

Texas is home.

I did tell him and he was very sympathetic.  He's wondering when it may happen to him.

Watch it and be amazed.

No, he hates the state of Maine because it's populated with dumbasses & inbreds... :fuelfire:

I like Texas. New Mexico would be second, Oklahoma or Western Arkansas would be a close third and then, Minnesota. The worst things about Minnesota were six months of ****ing WINTER and all of the Libtards in the Metro area. Get out in the burbs or rural MN and it's quite nice. Also, it's a "shall issue" state. Good hunting & fishing up there, ja, you betcha, pie golly !!   :-)

Allow me to extend an olive branch to HNC.  Look man, again, I don't "hate" California.  God knows I take enough shit for being from there.  I'm never gonna be part of "Red Sox Nation," a fact for which I thank God daily.

But I look at the changes just in the past 15-20 years (to say nothing of since the early 70's) and I'm absolutely saddened by the changes I've seen.  I see the exodus of idiots from CA to places like Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, and guess what they're turning to these days?

Again, I wish that I could wave a magic wand and make it better, but the state is going to have to go bankrupt before people wake up to the failure that is liberalism, and perhaps they won't even wake up then.  I know you're not the only conservative person in California, believe me.

But I also know that conservatives outside of a few enclaves are hopelessly outnumbered, and given the emasculated entity that is the CA GOP, that isn't going to change anytime soon.  Look what the Assembly is doing, cutting off funding to districts of Republicans who don't play ball while gorging their own fat little piggies on the ever-dwindling tax base.

People talk about, "the big one," in terms of a natural disaster which will launch California into the ocean.  Me, I see something a lot worse--the implosion of the sixth-largest economy in the world, complete with the Greek-style riots (only worse) which will accompany it.  This is a disaster which will affect us all in ways we can't begin to imagine.  And woe be unto the idiotic CA politician (but I repeat myself) who thinks the Feds are going to bail them out.  Because if Governor Moonbeam thinks it's going to happen, he better up and declare right now because as of 1/20/13 they're going to be told to pound ****ing sand.  And if they do, future historians will point to that day as the day the Second American Revolution/Civil War began.  I don't want that either, because I know in my heart of hearts that if it DOES happen, it's gonna be a helluva lot worse than anyone wants to imagine.

All that being said, Dodgers ****ing suck.  Raiders suck worse.  And don't even get me started on their asshole fans.
