One State Has Officially Been Named the Most HATED State in the US

[Iceweasel]

We moved to New Jersey when I was starting 10th grade and lived there three years in the military. God I hated that fucking state. Not only is it flat bu the "shore" is just long stretches of sand, with sand flies (they hurt!) horse shoe crabs (they stink) jelly fish galore. Plus they charge you by making you wear a beach pass in summer. And if you get caught with a beer you're screwed. We can drive on most beaches here.

You couldn't take a motorcycle on the Garden State Parkway. Had to go up route 9 through a bunch of little towns. People are rude as hell. Don't give a fuck drivers galore. Toll booths. Auto inspections annually that took a whole day. Property taxes are outrageous. They screwed up everything they could screw up.

 

[Iceweasel]

I wonder why? Why does Jersey get such a bad rap? New Jersey has some of the prettiest county in the US. Delaware water gap, Sandy Hook, Cape May.

Okay, the horseshoe crabs are gross, that could be a reason.

The males die after mating and stink to high heaven. Cape May isn't much to look at beach wise. I was stationed there. Have you ever been to the west coast? Northern California, Oregon and Washington would make you wet your britches if you think Cape May is nice.

And it STINKS! What the actual hell, New Jersey? I swear, I didn't take a single full breath the whole time I was there. I came to the conclusion that they call it "The Garden State" because "The Toxic Waste and Petrochemical State" wouldn't fit on a license plate.

The younger blacks generally call me "sir."

Yanno that's a YUUUGE clue to what your gender might be. See if you can figger it out.

One State Has Officially Been Named the Most HATED State in the US

There’s 50 states. Not every one can get as much love as the others.

YouGov made a ‘State of the States,’ in which they asked Americans how they feel about each and every state.

This research shows that New Jersey is the only state in the U.S. which people tend to have a negative opinion of. 40% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of the Garden State while 30% have a favorable opinion of the state, which gives the state a net favorability of -10%.

For comparison, Alabama, the second least popular state, has a net favorability rating of +8%,as 39% of Americans have a favorable view of Alabama and 31% have an unfavorable opinion.

After Alabama the least popular states are Illinois (+9%), Mississippi (+9%) and Indiana (+12%).


.

The people who don't have a negative opinion of New Jersey have probably never been there.

The people are gross. Think Jersey shore. Bunch of slick fast talking slimeball bullshitters. Blind, crude, they talk like good fellas.

Hey yo fogetaboutit! You talking to me? Goombas badabing!

NJ, I have heard, has the highest taxes in the country. If true then I understand this.

there;s good and bad like almost everywhere else.

could be worse. at least it isn't mississippi

I have to imagine looking at or living on the Mississippi river would be a lot better than the Hudson river. God I love Michigan. Except for our 3 bad cities flint Saginaw and Detroit Michigan rules. The great lakes metro Detroit up north and the Upper peninsula are all great. Even flint Saginaw and Detroit were great before the big three left. But luckily trump and hillary both say they're bringing jobs back home

I'm still feeling sad. Cat people like you and Jake should be able to use any bathroom you want. I mean a "guy" who's a cat person. I'll tell you what. You two go to any business you want, and if they don't let you use the ladies room, i'll score that for you. Guaranteed. I'll have the business owner crying. Just give me a call and I'll take care of that for you. My number is 1-800-kaz-rules. You don't have to actually enter the "s"

LOL, DuPont owns NJ I believe. But south Jersey does have a lot of vegetation, threes, farmlands, flowers, etc. Very different from the industrial north. Still very flat, humid as all hell in the summer and bitterly windy cold in the winter. Spring and fall are nice but don't last long enough.

There's some truth to that. My own sister said she knows people when I disagreed with her on something.

I was born and raised and now reside in Northern California. Nothing can compare to our California coastlines. But when I spoke of Cape May being a nice place, I wasn't speaking of the beaches but of the town itself. I was stationed there for a year after basic training and enjoyed it immensely. The free bus trips to Atlantic City were awesome.

The great lakes are beautiful too, don't have shark or salt. And Michigan doesn't have so many Mexicans plus San Andreas fault

Pebble Beach is great too, lived there briefly. Bandon OR is unbelievable and would put that up against the CA coastline. BUT we were discussing the beach/shore/coast. Cape May has some nice older homes but the beach is nothing. I was there before AC went the casino route and I liked it better then.

They have amazing houses. My very first apartment ever was the top floor of an old Victorian in downtown Cape May.

New Jersey get's a bad rap, but there are some really nice places there...and you can never get lost. No matter where you are, you can find a sign for the garden state parkway.

Your story is from the early 60s Jerseylore

Those chemical plants haven't been allowed to spew filth into the air in decades

I have only been to New Jersy a few times, I don't know how anyone can tell the difference between Massachusetts, Rhode Island, connecticut and New Jersey they all seem the same... boring as hell.

I thought for sure Mississippi would have been the number one most hated state followed by California and then Alabama.

Nah. Southerners are generally pretty happy, friendly people in my experience. What passes for happy and friendly in the Northeast would be an opening declaration of war anywhere else.

California gets a pass because it has Disneyland.

southerners are "happy friendly people" to white christian people.

southern cities can be very nice. i know i wouldn't go off the beaten track in certain places.

Your racism really doesn't interest me.

it isn't racism to point out others' racism.

sorry if you resemble my remarks

could be worse. at least it isn't mississippi

I've been to both. I prefer Mississippi. In fact, after my company sent me to deliver a load in New Jersey, I informed my manager that if he ever scheduled me to go there again, I would park the truck, mail him the keys, and take a Greyhound home, because I would quit before I ever went to New Jersey again. Even their fucking paramedics are sadistic assholes. I quit truck driving six months after that trip, and I had nightmares about it for two years afterward.

Now all I have to do is listen to the bastards talk, and I dread the days of the week that the calls are mostly NY, NJ, and Boston (don't ask me why those people all seem to make phone calls on the same days. I have no idea). I find them the most nasty, unpleasant human beings in the country, and they're not even talking to me.

Yeah....but they're nice compared to SF city council members.
