My point of view:
Greatest State: California (taxes, cost of living, etc. may suck, but the place is gorgeous with great weather and great cities)
Worst State: Texas (oppressive in summers, society structured around indoor airconditioned spaces)
In my experience:
Greatest State: New Jersey
Worst State: New York
Best state: Missouri, I live there!
Worst state:Missouri, Raz lives there.
Best State: Catalonia; you got the work opportunities associated with Spain's second largest city and economic area coupled with great Mediterranean beaches, night life, and weather; best of both worlds.
Worst State: Extremadura; like Andalucía (hot, poor and dry) but without the good things of Andalucía (culture, night life and wine).
Catalonia is full of Catalans though.
Best State: Um....hmmmm....I always liked Virginia I guess. It is for lovers. Louisiana has the best food.
Worst State: Oklahoma. Horribly hot like Texas during the summer, brutally freezing cold during the winter. Also: filled with land thieving Okies.
Best State (not including Michigan or Florida): Washington (Mountains, Pacific rain forests, wine, Seattle, coffee)
Worst State: Ohio

The only other "lots-of-industry-but-with-great-food-and-beaches" place in Spain is the Basque Country, though.
Yeah. It's hard to find out a place in Spain that has good standards of living without annoying locals. :P
The only country I remember visiting that has distinctive states is Australia, but all four states I visited were pretty goddamn fantastic so can't choose.
Best state in the union is quite clearly Alaska. :cool:
The worst? I'm trying to limit it to states I've been to, rather than rely on just reputation. Honestly, even though I'm rather fond of the place for some rather nostalgic reasons, I'd probably have to say North Dakota. Can't think of a state I'd be less likely to visit again.
Best state: anywhere other than where I am
Worst state: unemployment

California best, Arizona worst.

Yeah, but I'm talking really weird people in really remote small towns. I was advised by the president at the bank I was visiting not to try to engage in small talk with the people in this one town and that it would probably be best to avoid eye contact.

Romanians try to interact with me every day I'm in Stockholm. If begging is considered friendly then they are incredibly friendly. They are definitely incredibly ugly though.
The Romanians I interact with are either in Cluj or Southern California. Maybe they exile the ugly ones to Western Europe? :(
I can offer you one guy with a hunchback, a girl (I think) with a backwards, twisted knee, a few guys without lower body, and a few other amputees.
And there's the middle aged ladies who go singing/wailing through the subway, holding in front of them what's supposedly their husband lying in the coffin. He must have had about half a dozen wives. They're not "traditionally hot", either.
You sure those ain't gypsies?
Yes, Romanians.

Personal observations. In my experience girls from the former Yugoslavia are sizzling hot.
The Hungarians and Czechs are the dominators of the porno world and I've never met an ugly, female Estonian (the other Baltics I've met less but are generally pretty OK). And of course Ukrainians are famously good looking.
Balkan people I've met....I have met some pretty damn hot Yugoslavians but also some pretty damn ugly ones. Romanians ranged from somewhat cute through to ugly, the average I'd place at merely respectable, and Bulgarians I've met were universally not particularly attractive.

Greece is definitely balkan, and I can't accept any alternative. It is just too much fun to refer to them as balkan when i'm talking to greeks. :P
The most attractive woman I ever met was Bosnian -- a Serb-Bosniak half-caste no less, so perhaps it was the hybrid vigor.
The most attractive woman I ever met was half-Filipina, half-white. :)
But to give the Slavs their due, Abigaile Johnson, Czech, is perhaps our most beautiful adult actress, after--or maybe ahead of--Sasha Grey. Just ridiculously pretty.

I remember when I was in Boston and we were at a crowded bar and one woman said 'hey my friends will not be here for awhile if you want to sit here with me instead of standing there'. I said 'hey thanks you Bostonians aren't so bad' and she said 'oh no Bostonians are assholes I am from Alabama' :lol:
Stay out of my town! :mad: See, we aren't so bad. :P

California is the greatest state, followed closely by Wyoming. The worst state is California followed closely by Wyoming.

Hottest #1 and #2 of all time that I ever met personally were both Iranian. The Shah's monied cronies knew how to breed well and raise some fine goddamn daughters. Allah Ackwoof.
I agree with that, dunno what kind of VISA restrictions you had in place for Iranians back then, but the ones that you allowed in the US sired some mighty fine female specimens. It's ridiculous.
Personally the hottest woman I've ever met was Zoroastrian; she told me that she could only marry another Zoroastrian, that you couldn't convert into it (damn!!!) and thus she only had 120 eligible suitors of suitable age in the whole US.
You cannot convert? Damn. Sorry Spellus.
I think you can but it's a massively complicated process.
And pics.

You know who I'm pretty sure converted without serious issues? Tens of thousands of Bronze Age Iranians. Sounds like some bullshit to me.
That's what she told me; at least I'll concede it was a more elegant way of rebuking my advances than "get lost fat bastard". :Embarrass:
Nah, it's probably correct. Zoroastrianism is like hipster Judaism.
I don't know why anyone likes Florida. Probably because I don't share their obsession with the ocean.
As for the Yugoslav Balkans--I think I mentioned once after visiting both Slovenia and Austria that Slovenian girls were mostly too good for the dudes they were with, and the Austrian guys were mostly too good for their girls. Some sort of trade would be in order.
Illinois is the worst US state, IMHO; Alabama and Indiana tie for close seconds.
Best state is probably Minnesota or Wisconsin, although I do like Maine.
Parts of Mississippi are great, but parts of Mississippi are the vilest shithole on the planet.
Best: Welfare State :yeah:

For most of us here probably the State of Undress.
Its hard for me to choose between solid and liquid. While I enjoy a great steak I also enjoy a great wine to go with that great steak.

So is the air we breathe. I guess there is no greatest state. They are all awesome. Although the gaseous state here in Vancouver is much better than it is in LA. :)
Are you sure? Better polluted than humid. Hong Kong, OTOH, is just screwed.
Worst: Connecticut.
Best: New Jersey.
Was just about to ask how much you paid him to say that.

He has also spent time in Ukraine.
DGuller's world view may be:
New York - like the New York he used to live in.
New Jersey - like the New Jersey he lives in.
Rest of the World - Ukraine.

Better polluted? Certainly not from my perspective. I have been in LA on days I could barely breath. And Vancouver isnt exactly humid ;)
Connecticut and New Jersey are quite alike.

To some of us, that's not a net positive... pretty miserable and hibernating in the AC right now, honestly. Can't wait for October, when it finally starts noticeably cooling off.
Ok fine.
There are more Wawas in New Jersey. :cool:

My point of view:
Greatest State: California (taxes, cost of living, etc. may suck, but the place is gorgeous with great weather and great cities)
Worst State: Texas (oppressive in summers, society structured around indoor airconditioned spaces)
Best state: Israel (gorgeous rough terrain on the north, Haifa area, and on the south, the Negev, Beershevah and Eilat areas)
Worst state: Israel (Tel Aviv and Yerushalayim kind of suck. Forget about having a nice lawn. Israeli people can't drive. Can't wait for google's self-drived cars)
