The Hoosier State. Calls itself the Crossroads of America. The epitome of "flyover territory." One of those Midwest/Great Lakes States with a very slow pace of life and too many declining Rust Belt cities. Indiana is almost nothing but a flat, dull, boring, drab, lifeless, cornfield hell. There are basically no large cities, but its capital and largest city of Indianapolis (12th largest single U.S. city)is the state's only city to come even remotely close to being a big city. Indiana is about the only state (with the possible exception of Ohio) you will find a manufacturing plant next to a cornfield. It's abundance in boredom is matched by its many declining Rust Belt cities: Gary, Michigan City, South Bend, Kokomo, Muncie, Anderson and Terre Haute. Even Indianapolis proper, with the exception of the rest of the metro area, isn't growing much.
Indiana is very quaint and definately not Colorado or those mountain states. There is no geography or picturesque scenery. There is no mountains. No water. No shoreline. No beaches (beaches next to steel mills on Lake Michigan don't count). Nothing to do. No cool places to see, much less anything to write home about. No opportunities to get out and enjoy nature--that's why so many people are so fat. At least Michigan, Wisonsin and Minnesota have opportunities to enjoy nature with its water and stuff. Ohio at least has 3 the R&R Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and Columbus is a neat college town. Tennesssee at least has Graceland and numerous bars in Memphis while Nashville is the home of country music and the Grand Ole Opry. Illinois at least has Chicago, America's 3rd largest popuation center and an awsome world-class city. At least Pennsylvania has neat, historical Philadelphia. And at least Georgia has Atlanta, which is quickly becoming an international center. But Indiana has NOTHING!!
It's 6.4 million Hoosiers (14th in population for some reason)as its people are called are also, fat, unhealthy and stupid. Indiana consistently ranks among the worst states in education and ACT/SAT scores. Most people, like me, leave when they graduate from college creating the brain drain, because there are no descent, much less good-paying jobs for college graduates. The people are also stupid. They continue to re-elect the same stupid, uneducated, ignorant politicians like themselves, that continue to screw them. And they refuse to get out of their antiquated thinking to change anything, even when it behooves their state. They consistently yell about taxes that are wisely used to improve the state's antiquated roads and other things. They routinely and ignorantly blame their good Governor for the good things he has done for Indiana in the past several years. Like I said, the people don't like any change, even when good. Hoosiers also have among the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and smoking. Hoosiers are also racist and generally talk bad about blacks (who comprise 12% of the state) and Hispanics, especially Mexicans.
Like I said, Indiana is good for nothing and is a dull, boring, drab, lifeless cornfield hell. It is a terrible place to live in general. I grew up there until I was 23 when I found a good job, and moved out and NEVER to return. Good riddence. If only I could get my family out of there.

I grew up in Indiana for 23 years and can say, with confidence, that it is among the worst states. I don't know how/why 6.4 million people can live there. Only Kentucky, West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska are worse.

Get the Indianamug. 1. Wallyworld.
2. two words: corporate terrorism. This Benadict Arnold corporation hates anything to do with competition and American capitalism. It imports products from China (ironically Communist) and Mexico to sell them at a low price, putting out of business some American corporations like Ohio-based Huffy bicycles.
3. The epitome of whitetrash America and you almost have to be such to shop there (their stores in the southwest have nothing but dirty Hispanic men wearing wife-beater shirts who shop there).
4. It gives capitalism a bad name and is responsible for the demise of jobs outsourced to Mexico. It bullies smaller businesses across America by invading the suburbs and establishing predatory prices to put the smaller, older business out of commission.
5. Practices 21st Century endentured servitude and treats its employees like disposable goods. It makes billions but pays its employees a slave wage. Many of them have sued the company to get any insurance benefits. The company refuses to let its employees unionize, although it wouldnt do any good anyway.
6. Their stores have like 30 checkout lanes but to save a dime, will only open half of them, creating ungodly long lines.
7. Their stores are dirty. Their shopping carts are usually broken and wander meanderously through the parking lot but you can’t find any in the store.
8. Hires the worst people: Their employees are unhelpfull, unprofessional, uneducated and lack professional skills. They don’t even speak English in the workplace and are probably here illegally. You almost have to be a minority to work there, thanks to affirmative action. Not surprisingly it hires illegal immigrants to clean its stores. It hires only people in wheelchairs to greet you as you enter and then questions you as you leave to make sure you’re not stealing.

What a company. Walmart is disgusting and I have to shower when I get home from their stores. They should be reported to the department of Labor. They might as well have a sign outside that says, "NOW HIRING. PLEASE INQUIRE INSIDE. WHITES AND AMERICANS NEED NOT APPLY."

Get the Walmartmug. Means “the pass,” and is the armpit of America and Texas. The 5th largest city in Texas with some 650,000 people or so along the border with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The city is unarguably among the poorest, most uneducated and dirtiest cities in the country and Texas, making it one of the worst places to live. There are very few good jobs and many people hardly have an education. This is why El Paso has more 99-cent stores than you could shake a stick at. Probably the only people who like living there are those who have lived there their entire life and don’t know anything else. It is the epitome of low class and could never be mistaken for places like San Fran, San Diego or Seattle. Most people are dirty, smelly, uneducated Chicanos who can hardly speak English—so little in fact that you cant even go up to the drive-through at Taco Bell or McDonalds without having to ask them repeat their words.
It has become a sprawling stain of ghettos, concrete, dirt, liqour stores, and angry people who wont hesitate to cut you off on the freeway and then have the audacity to yell at you in Spanish. Air pollution is becoming a big concern and the entire city is covered in a orange smog during rush hour. Many of El Paso’s new residents come to the city via walking across the Rio Grande River with nothing but the clothes on their back, making illegal immigration a HUGE issue.
El Paso is among the poorest, dirtiest and most polluted cities in America. I don’t know why it has such a low crime rate as poor and dirty as it is and practically part of Mexico.

El Paso is the perfect example of what illegal immigration will do to every large city in America if our nation’s “leaders” don’t tackle the problem now. The best view of this hellhole town is in the rearview mirror on I-10 headed toward Houston.

Get the ditzmug. A former surgeon turned former Governor of Vermont. Gave his famous I-have-a-scream speech in the 2004 Presidential election. "Next, we are going to South Carolina, to Florida, to New york, to Michigan, then to California, to Texas, and then to Washington where we are going to win the election!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! The loser is now Chairman of the Democrat National Committee.
