The place full of little college towns that wake up the whole city when they score a touchdown.
The closest mall is always at least an hour away.
No black people, just asians and mexicans.
Everyone talks to you, whether you want them to or not.
You'll always see someone biking, even if its raining outside which it probably is.
There's tons of local co-ops full of tofu brownies and old stoners with huge beards.
Schools that aren't funded, trees, and hippies. That's a normal city.

Oregonian: What exit are you from?
New Jersey Resident: You're a hippie. Go hug a tree.
Oregonian: Of course, thank you for your time.

The most hippy-infested, dirty, fat, poor, pathetic, shit pit in the US. It is full of people who just sit around and get stoned and protest and listen to U2. No one has any fucking idea how to do anything.

Either the greatest or worst state in the US, depending on your point of view. On one hand it's full of liberals and hippies and youth, dominating cities like Portland, Eugene, and Ashland. All the other cities are generally conservative (ie shit hole Salem)
I can only speak for the liberal part of Oregon (which is a bit of a bubble), which I have a love hate relationship with. Love because there's definitely a very special sort of Oreogn person (laid-back, adventurous, outdoorsy, artistic) that you can't find anywhere else. Hate because the racial hypocricracy. These people preach diversity and tolerance but then ignore all of the racial problems in Oregon and instead focus on the enviornment.
I think everyone who classifies themselves as the 'Oregon Liberal' should really take a hard look around them (the lack of diversity, ignorant racial comments) and focus some of their time and energy on racial problems that are rampid in Oregon!

Home of those most pretentious, ignorant people in the United States. Everyone from this State are hippies who ruined their state's economy by putting proud, third generation Lumberjacks out of business who were forced out of their homes so a few spotted Owls didn't have to adapt to living in Smaller trees, instead of big ones.(Which they did anyway). The whole state is now just a third-rate Silicon Valley.
Secondly, People from Oregon hurt my eyes, due to the rain/lack of sunshine they are the palest, lily-white people on the planet.
It's also the worst place in the world to visit. If people wanted to go the beaches/ocean, they would go to San Diego where the water is warm enough to swim in, and if they wanted to see Trees they would go to the mountains if they live in ANY major city in the southwest IE: Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc, etc.
There is nothing good about Oregon, so stop coming here and pretending like your shit doesn't stink.

Oregonians: Save the Owls, we are forcing them out of their homes by cutting down the trees!! Who cares if we force thousands of lumberjacks to go out of business and make them, and their families to be forced out of their homes!

Alright, we may be hippie-infested, dirty, fat, poor, pathetic shit pile in the united states (Not to mention racist and drug addicted.) And we do protest almost everything (especially the cult known as scientology.) But let me make this clear.... We DO NOT LIKE U2!
We are also way better drivers than Washintonians.
They just suck balls.
Seriously, like worse than asians or women.
Go oregon.

Oregon is the worst state in the union. Since it cannot be Washington or California, it has decided to earn distinction by being ugly to the rest of the world.
Oregon has rain for 9 months of the year and dusty, unbearable heat for 3 months. It has the third worst air quality in the US according to the EPA, usually the worst economy in the nation as measured by the unemployment rate and the most insular, unfriendly people in the country as evidenced by the comments made by those who claim to be thumbs up on Oregon.
Having stolen land from the indigenous people, 'Oregonians' still put up 'stay out' signs on the state except that the terrible job losses (lumber, fisheries) over the last few decades have made such an attitude much less popular. This 'stay out' mentality is simply the admission of failure on the part of the state to remember that is relies on the rest of the nation to feed it jobs. Most companies, quite reasonably, say no to Oregon. Many people are quite astonished to see that parking lots empty out before 5 because Oregonians do not believe in long hours devoted to work. There is something in the state which saps the work ethic out of so many people which is very bad for business.
Frankly, Oregon does the rest of the world a favor by looking so unfriendly and so unwelcoming to 'foreigners' because it is. Outside of Metropolitan Portland and other minor pockets, Oregon is a state so flaming red that it belongs inside Mississippi. Minorities are actually told by real estate agents that living in communities a few miles outside of Portland would be 'uncomfortable' for them. This is actually said, with a straight face in this century! Oregon enjoys all of the red state deficiencies: racism, bigotry, xenophobia, regressiveness and ignorance but little of the good gumbo and sunshine.
Oregon also isn't beautiful, it's gray and cold and damp most days which is why the majority of people live their entire lives indoors. The picture of people 'enjoying' the great outdoors only exists in the one month of the year when the rain has stopped and the mud has dried but the intense heat and yellow dust haven't yet appeared. That's it. The rest of the year requires A/C and heating which have become hugely expensive. When Oregonians claim they live a robust outdoor life, ask them why they do not have a natural tan.
Oregon has virtually no tourist attractions unless you like staring at pine trees day after day. After you see Multnomah falls, the Columbia river gorge and the spindly Rose Garden...you're done. BTW roses do not grow well here even though Portland claims to be the rose city. It should more aptly be named the algae or moss or mud city as all are widely available along with household solutions for their eradication. Also contrary to popular belief, Oregonians are at constant war with nature putting up depressing vinyl suburbs with vinyl decks and vinyl fencing on the tiniest lots imaginable...everywhere. Do not be fooled by the idea of cheap housing...you get what you pay for.
Try Googling Oregon Sucks or Portland Sucks or Tigard Sucks and you will understand the truth about the state. It's important to understand the truth before you actually move here because then you'll be stuck writing things like this in order to keep from beating your brains out with a frozen salmon.
There is a reason why such a large state has so few people...if Oregon doesn't kill you, it will make you wish you were dead.
