A state in the Midwest U.S.A. Yes we have our issue but I'm sick of people who are not from Arizona who have not been here long enough to just decide what it is what it is not. Ya we have bad pollution, but if you were smart and used your brain then you would remember how often does it rain, not that often. we have bad pollution because it does not rain regural so the air does not get cleaned as often.also what about other cities that have bad pollution that it does rain in the sun does fade the car, but thats why you use a I don't know a garage maybe or just get white. we can't really help the fact that who have a bed governor because half the people don't vote and the people who do don't know what they are doing. we have bad schools yes, but that is why you go to private schools.also I can't vote so not my fault. look at Xavier Collage Prep and Brophy College Prep two of the best schools in the nation. the heat is not bad at all. it is better to be hot rather than freezing your ass off now isn't . Furthermore losers who can't take the heat they can go to Prescott or Flagstaff were it is cooler. people also base all their ideas and opinion on Arizona on only two places: Phoenix and Tucson. this is bad because these are the major cities that are always going to have crime issue. what do you think people thought about Chicago and New York during the times of Bugsy Moran, mob wars, or when alcohol was illegal here.

so losers who know nothing about the Az here please stop and think before you bad mouth. why don't you think about all the bad points to your home state and figure out a way to fix them before you give a shit about ours.

Arizona - It's the devil's playground

The devil wanted a place on earth, sort of a summer home, a place to spend his vacation, whenever he wanted to roam.
So he picked out Arizona, a place both wretched and rough, where the climate was to his liking, and the cowboys hardened and tough.
He dried up the lakes in the valley, then burned and scorched it all, He dried up the streams in the canyons, and ordered no rain to fall.
Then over this barren desert, he transplanted shrubs from Hell, the cactus thistle and prickly pear, the climate suited them well.
Now the home was much to his liking, but animal life he had none, so he created crawling creatures, that all mankind would shun.
First he made the rattlesnake, with its forked poisonous tongue, taught it to strike and rattle, and how to shallow its young.
Then he made scorpions and lizards, and the ugly old horned toad, he placed spiders of every description, under the rocks by the side of the road.
Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter, hotter and hotter still, until even the cactus wilted, and the old horned toads looked ill.
Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom, as any creator would, he chuckled a little, rolled up his sleeves, and admitted it was good.
T'was summer now and Satan, lay by a prickly pear to rest, the sweat rolled off his sweaty brow, so he took off his coat and vest.
"By golly", he finally panted, "I did my job to well, I'm going back ...

Word used to signify defiance. This is seen in the sudden popularity of products with the word 'Arizona' on them. Having nothing to do with immigration necessarily, just opposition to federal government interference. This is used synonymously with 'resistance' and 'states rights'. To be seen with Arizona means you stand with anyone who believes the federal government has become too powerful.

The Grand Canyon State. Arizona lies in the southwest region of the U.S., in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. As a result, Arizona is known for its oppressive summer heat, dryness and strong sunshine. Arizona is also home to the Grand Canyon and the most golf courses and resorts of pretty much anywhere else. Phoenix is the capital and largest city, and 5th largest city in the US. About 6-million-plus people live in this already overpopulated state--most of whom need to move back where they came from--as the influx has hurt the quality of life.

A strain of hydroponic marijuana. Sometimes confused with kush because of the red veins in it. Much cheaper than most strains of equal potency, so it is often chopped and mixed with ditch weed, to give the crappy weed the appearance of actual smokable stuff.

Ironically, Arizona is more popular in California than Arizona.

Abbreviation: AZ.

The best state in the country to live in if you want to avoid natural disasters and horrible weather. There are parts of the state where it doesn't go above 100 in the summer and it doesn't go below 20 in the winter. The only bad weather you have to worry about is a bad thunderstorm with strong wind. There are no earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes etc...
