An area of the U.S., primarily the South, that has an enormously large number of Protestants. It's also a stereotypical term that recognizes the far southern United States for its faith, morals and huge presence of Protestant denominations including the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the world’s largest Protestant denomination. This stereotype paints people in the region as Rednecks, NASCAR lovers, radical Bible thumpers, and narrowminded bigots.

Get the Valentines Day mug.A nice place to visit but dam if you want to live there. The city of the angels. The silicon and plastic surgery capital of the world, thanks to the Hollywood culture and Beverly Hills. People are often confused at the term “Los Angeles.” The truth is that there are 3 Los Angeleses: the city, the county (the most populated in the U.S.) and the greater metro area (which includes Orange county). The 2nd largest city and metro area in the United States and home to over 14 million people--10 million in L.A. County alone. It is a hub of commerce, industry, transportation and motion picture production. L.A. is notorious for street gangs (more than any other U.S. city), car chases, traffic jams (the worst in the U.S.), police corruption, earthquakes, wild fires, mudslides, air pollution (the worst of any metro area in the U.S.) and superficial pricks/fake people (your car labels you) and an outrageous cost of living. The metro area is nicknamed “a hundred suburbs in search of a city” meaning that there is no real city center like in most cities. Its native Angelenos probably do not even know where the “real” downtown Los Angeles actually is. The city of Los Angeles covers well over 400 square-miles and is actually composed of a number of included communities as it expanded such as North Hollywood, Encino, Van Nuys, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Reseda, Van Nuys, Northridge, Tarzana (all in the sprawling San Fernando Valley), Hollywood, Bel Air, Westwood, Watts, Venice Beach, Palisades (all in the L.A. basin) and a number of others.

Get the blame mug.What I don't do or ever will because women can't stand my presence. A complete waste of time for someone actually wanting to get in a serious relationship with someone. Nothing but an act between two fake people trying to put their best foot forward and impress each other so they can potentially jump each other's bones. In Western culture dating is a precursor to marriage but, ironically, will do no more for you in getting to know a person than watching a sport on tv will make you a professional ballplayer. It's also an incredible waste of time because getting together for a romantic rondezvous or outing will do next to nothing in making you connect emotionally or spiritually.
Dating is a new phenomenon and didn't come around until the mid to late 20th century. Before the era of dating, a couple would often "court" each other or marriages were even prearranged. If one is religious, especially with someone who practices Christianity, dating is NOT Biblical because not only does dating usually result in heartache when the two persons involved go their seperate ways, but there is no comitment between the two parties. It was never practiced for cultural reasons. For Christians, dating is not Biblical because God himself does not want people to experience the emptiness and heartache it often brings. For the secular world, however, dating is as normal as taking a nap.
Dating CAN lead to marriage but usually doesn't, unlike courting.

Dating is pointless in my opinion. It usually doesn't work and is a futile effort in actually getting to know someone on an emotional or spiritual level. Dating is stupid!

Get the dating mug.Let’s get these common misconceptions straight:
1. Hoosiers as its people are called are NOT all hicks, like ignorant morons from the coasts think. Indiana has no more hicks than any other state. Hoosiers are average people who live in small towns, sizeable communities and their suburbs. But the hicks it DOES have are in the far southern third of the state, mostly south of Bloomington. Its 6 million residents are for the most part conservative but not anymore backwards than anywhere else. In fact, Carmel and the rest of Hamilton County, just north of Indianapolis, is very posh and among the richest areas in the Midwest and one of the fastest-growing counties by population in the country. Indianapolis is the capital and 12th largest city in the country while Gary is a black, crime-ridden hole and among America’s worst cities. Indianapolis is vibrant and progressive, generally speaking and more so than most large Midwest cities (except Chicago). It has spent billions of dollars revitalizing its downtown and has become the poster-child or urban revitalization. It is the fastest-growing metro area in the Midwest and Indiana is the fastes-growing state in the Midwest by population.
2. There IS more than corn in Indiana. Other agricultural products include soybeans (#3 in the country), mint, tomatoes, swine and poultry. Forests cover much of southern Indiana. Indiana has more covered bridges than any state, mostly in the south.
3. It is NOT part of the Rust Belt, like Michigan or Ohio. Much of Indiana lies too far south to be considered, with the exception of Gary.
4. Indiana is considered and industrial state. It is the country’s leader in steel production, centered in Gary, but the production of transportation equipment is its largest economic activity. It is the nation’s leader in the production of recreational vehicles (Rvs), engines, truck bodies and manufactured housing, a.k.a, modular homes. Indiana is an important state for the auto industry for this reason. GM, Ford and Chrysler used to be the big players but have since been replaced by the Japanese: Toyota, Honda and Subaru. Indiana is also the national leader in the production of musical instruments, caskets and urns (ironically centered in Batesville).
5. Indiana isn’t ALL flat. About 30% of the state has large hills: mostly in southern Indiana. Brown County is probably the most scenic location in the state. Marengo and Wyandotte caves are some of the largest caves in the country.
6. Yes, there is a town called French Lick (Larry Bird’s hometown). Go ahead, laugh. As if your state doesn’t have towns with funny names. Other funny names include Gnaw Bone, Beanblossom, Santa Clause, Shipshewana, and Mishawaka.
6. No matter how you look at it. It’s still better than Kentucky.

Indiana is a very average and desent state to live in. Maybe not as popular as California or Florida, but sure as hell better than the likes of Michigan, those inbred Southern states, including Kentucky and those prarie states.
