A state in the Midwest region of the U.S. Bordered by Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and the likes of Michigan. Known as the "Hoosier State," its name is often mistakingly referred to as its largest city of Indianapolis by outsiders from the Midwest (except those from Michigan) who are too stupid to know the difference between Indiana and Indianapolis. It ranks 14th in population with over 6 million residents. It is often stereotyped as a place of rednecks (some believe it to have the most of any midwest state), corn, covered bridges and homes with a basketball hoop adjacent to a gigantic cornfield. The real Indiana, although with a lot of corn ranks #1 in the production of steel (Gary), popcorn, mint, tomatoes, musical instuments, caskets, recreational vehicles (RVs), pharmacueticals and truck bodies. Other important things about Indiana is its love for basketball and auto racing. "Hoosier hysteria" is the term that describes its craze for the sport. The Indy 500 in Indianapolis is the world's largest single-day sporting event. The Brickyard 400, also in Indianapolis is the 2nd largest race in the NASCAR circuit.
Indiana's capital and largest city is Indianapolis. It is the 12th largest largest city in the U.S. with 792,000 in its city limits and 1.7 million in the metro area. Indy is not Napt-town anymore. It is in the midst of a huge renneisance and Carmel is perhaps its most well-known suburb, known for its posh setting. No other city in Indiana can come remotely close to being rivaled in size, culture and commerce.
Gary is the steel-manufacturing center of the country and is considered a Chicago suburb. Gary is perhaps the epitome of urban blight and decay and is among the most dangerous cities in the country notoriuos for its violence and poverty.
The rest of Indiana is pretty low-key and conservative. Fort Wayne is OK. South Bend has Notre Dame University. West Lafayette is known for Purdue University, while Bloomington is the home of Indiana University. Indiana residents are often divided in loyalty among college sports fans between Purdue and Indiana.
Indiana is pretty average as far as state's go. It's not too big, not too small. Not overly populated and not sparsely populated. It's a pretty good state, all-in-all and is much better than its neighbor to the north in Michigan and not as many rednecks as its southern neighbor Kentucky.

Don’t mess with Texas. The Lone Star State. Was once part of Mexico then became its own country then became a state in 1835, causing the Mexican War, then became part of the Confederacy then back to the U.S. Part of the Bible Belt. The state where everything is bigger: the road signs are bigger, billboards are bigger, boobs on broads are usually bigger, people are bigger or fatter, and big SUVs. Texas is just too dam big, period. It’s the 2nd largest state by area, covering some quarter of a million square miles in the southern/southwestern U.S. with 263,000 square miles. It could fit several Midwestern states in its vast territory. It takes about 13 hours to drive on I-10 from El Paso to Houston or vice versa and about the same amount of time from Harlington/McAllen to Amarillo. The drive, no matter which way you go, is dull and mostly flat with not much of a change in scenery, unless you are close to El Paso, which looks like Arizona. Texas is so big that El Paso is closer to San Diego or Los Angeles than from Houston and Houston is closer to some areas of Florida than from El Paso.
Texas is also the 2nd largest state by population (22,000,000) and growing quickly. Austin is the capital and 17th largest in the country, while Houston is the largest city and 4th largest U.S city, but Dallas-Ft. Worth is the largest metro area. Other large cities include San Antonio, El Paso, Fort Worth, Arlington and Corpus Christi. Texas has three cities alone that have more than one million residents: Houston, Dallas and San Antonio—the most of any state. And these three cities are among the top ten largest American cities. Houston is the largest single city and home to NASA and the Johnson Space Center, numerous energy firms, petrochemical manufacturers and one of the largest medical centers. Dallas is a major financial and high-tech center, San Antonio is, well.....only known for the Alamo and that’s it. Nothing special otherwise about San Antonio.
Because Texas is so large in area and population, it is very diverse. Texans come from all walks of life: suburban soccer moms, whitetrash, hillbillies, hicks, rich oil magnates, inner-city gangbangers, cattle ranchers, cowboys, Bible thumpers, farmers, poor Mexican migrants, anything and everything. Diversity is also found in its economy. It has the 2nd largest economy in the nation after California. Houston is the country’s leading energy center and was built on oil. It also has more energy firms than anywhere else. It’s also the home to NASA and the Johnson Space Center. Houston is also a major medical center, thanks to the University of Texas Medical Center. And the Houston area is the country’s leading center of petrochemical production. The Dallas-Ft. Worth area is home to many financial and insurance firms, high-tech firms (Texas Instruments and Dell Computers) and transportation and trade (American Airlines and Southwest Airlines). Austin, the state capital and 4th largest state capital by population is in a class all by itself. It’s a major, hip college town thanks to the University of Texas at Austin. Austin has frequently been ranked among the “youngest” ,“coolest”, “most educated”, “weirdest” and “most fit” cities in the country. It’s the “live” Music Capital of America and it’s recent slogan has been “Keep Austin Weird.” San Antonio, the 3rd largest city (unofficially 2nd largest according to 2007 estimates), is not known for much except for the Alamo and Riverwalk. El Paso is nothing but a craphole. Some areas like Laredo and Harlingen/McAllen are among the poorest cities in the United States and populated by almost nothing but illegal immigrants and Mexican migrants looking for free handouts. These two areas are two examples of everything that is wrong with our federal government not enforcing immigration law. Not surprisingly, they were ranked among the poorest and worst metro areas in the country to live, according to the Places Rated Almanac of 2007.

I honestly wouldn’t mind living in Texas depending on location. Wheather you love it or hate it, Texas unarguably is the epitome of state pride.

Get the Texas mug.A city of almost a half million residents in the Central Valley of California perhaps best described as a 'starter community' for people in small California towns who want a larger city, or people seeking a new life in California at a reasonable price. But dont expect much excitement around here, because life is dull beyond belief. Fresno epitomizes Cowtowns and relies on agriculture for its economic well being. Nor is it a good place to live for young, active adults because there are no jobs, nothing to do, crime is high, pollution problematic, and street gangs everywhere. Its only saving grace is the affordable cost of living compared to the rest of CA, but it isnt worth the enormous sense of boredom you get by living here. Fresno consistely ranks among the top US cities in violence, unemployment, pollution, car theft, gangs, teen pregnancy, alcoholism, welfare and drug abuse.

Get the Fresno mug.The largest city in Wisconsin (580,000), situated on Lake Michigan, 90-miles north of its big brother of Chicago, Illinois. Although the city proper population has fallen, the metro area is actually more hip than places like St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Detroit, and is easily a smaller version of Chicago. It has a decent nightlife with its bars and stuff. The Milwaukee area is home to much beer production and Harley Davidsons, the most obnoxiuos monstrocity God created. Milwaukee--in many respects--is a very decent metro area of 1.6 million to live in, due to its proximity to Chicago and cheaper cost of living. It's even a good alternative to living in Chicago.
Milwaukee was the setting for Laverne and Shirley and Happy Days.

Milwaukee may not have the urban sophistication of New York, Boston, Phil, San Fran, Seattle and L.A., but it is decent and owes its decency to its proximity to Chicago. Milwaukee owes Chicago a whole lot of gratitude.

Get the Milwaukee mug.The only mega-corporation that can turn surburban America into a haven for whitetrash. The people who shop there are digusting (especially in the desert southwest)and the employees are disgusting. Many of them need to shower, dont speak English, aren't helpful, aren't customer-service friendly, dont have professional skills, don't have people skills and lack an education. Many of its employees are either ex-cons who are just waiting to steal your identity, black men with dreadlocks who wear pants that are ten sizes to big that are worn below their ass as if they were falling down or illegal immigrants who cant speak a damb word of English who are rude and dont give a crap about your customer-service needs. Hell, ALL of their janitors are here illegaly anyway. You go into a department asking where a product is and their piece-of-crap employees say, "I don't know, sir" and walk away with out the 2-seconds of care in the world to find out. I shouldn't be too surpised because the employees are treating the customer the exact same way they are treated by the company. I admit that I am anti-Walmart.
Walmart is a piece-of-crap company with piece-of-crap workers and a piece-of-crap, anit-American philosophy that gives Capitalism a bad name. This company needs to be investigated by the Justice Deaprtment, the Department of Labor and the Federal Trade Commission and its CEO thrown in jail. I DESPISE everything about Walmart and hope they go out of business one of these days.
ME: "Excuse me, sir but do you carry the Panteen brand of shampoo? I am finding everything else but that."
EMPLOYEE: "I don't know, sir."
ME: "Can you find out?"
EMPLOYEE: "It's not my department."
ME: "Nevermind, jerkoff. I want to see your supervisor."
EMPLOYEE: "Whatever, homie. Piece"

Get the Walmart mug.An idea foreign to Americans these days which taught that you must work hard to earn what you desire. It is something Americans, sadly, do not have anymore because the government has provided entitlements without having to work for it.
People will not have a work ethic if they are not taught the concept as a child, especially nowadays when liberals in the government discourage them from doing so by providing silly entitlements.

Get the work ethic mug.America’s largest suburb and is not a city by any means. “The Valley” as it is called is actually a very fast-growing mesh of identical suburbs that comprise a very dull metropolis, for its size (almost 4 million people), in the Sonoran Desert of south-central Arizona. Phoenix does not constitute a typical large metropolitan profile by most standards and sucks, generally speaking. It isn’t New York. Isn’t L.A. Isn’t Chicago. Isn’t Washington DC. Isn’t Phily. Isn’t San Fran. Isn’t Seattle. Isn’t Miami. Isn’t Atlanta. And even isn’t Dallas-Ft. Worth. Why? No culture (illegal immigrants don’t count). No diversity. Not much greenspace. No rapid transit. No skyline. Not a major educational center (despite having ASU in nearby Tempe). Not a major manufacturing center. Not a major healthcare center. Not a port center. Not a financial center. Not many high-paying jobs. Nothing. It doesn’t even have many corporate headquarters when compared to many cities (US Airways, the worst airline in the country, is the only Fortune 500 company that calls Phoenix home). If you’re single and looking to meet someone, go elsewhere because Phoenix was ranked as one of the worst cities in the country for meeting other single people, especially those looking to get married. The city of Phoenix may be the 6th single-largest US city, in the nation’s 14th largest metro area, but Phoenix has nothing on metro areas that are even half its size. The Phoenix area is known for practically NOTHING and has no functional role whatsoever in our nation’s economy, which is sad, because most cities have some sort of identity or purpose. This makes Phoenix America’s largest “small town” or America’s largest suburb. And to prove it, Walmart is the Valley’s largest employer. Go figure. However it is a good place if you want to golf in the winter (and ONLY in the winter), hike, mountain bike or ski up in the mountains. Most people at urbandictionary who give thumbs down on negative definitions of Phoenix may be due to their heads being so stuck in the sand, that they haven’t realized the truth or haven’t even been to the coastal cities. If native Phoenicians don’t like it then may I suggest you try to change it? I moved here 3 years ago and will never poke fun of Chicago again. At least it is a major world city with world-class amenities and is everything Phoenix is not. Phoenix sucks!
The people are not really very friendly either. They have almost a California mindset and not like what you would see in the Midwest or the South. Phoenicians, as its residents are called, generally have the worst personalities. They seem materialistic, introverted, egocentric, not very social, quiet and downright haughty or stuck up. Try going to Scottsdale. Most of the women there are stuck-up bitches where money, sex, materialism and sometimes partying are the only things that count in this life. The men are just as shallow and judge themselves by the size of their penis, the car they drive, the size of their house, how much money they make or how good looking their trophy wife is. Most Phoenicians are not just rotten people in their personal lives, but also AWFUL drivers on the road. If you don't believe me then drive in Phoenix or on I-17 or anywhere in the state. People don’t use their turn signal, they speed, drive wrecklessly, run red lights, tailgate, cut you off, flick you off, and Phoenix has numerous accidents everyday. Phoenix ranked as the worst city for auto accidents and was the number one city in all those things. Also, if your car breaks down or stalls on any road, drivers will scream at you or flick you off for causing a two-second inconvenience for them. They are not likely to stop and help you.
And don't even get me started about the weather. Despite conventional wisdom of this Sonoran Desert urban hell, Phoenix does NOT have a tollerable climate in general. It is over 100 degress for 8 months, but the remaining months between NOV and end of FEB are good. Do you consider 115-degrees tollerable, let alone for eight months at a time? I didn't think so.
Phoenix has an awfull drug problem, mostly from Meth being smuggled in from Mexico and the illegal immigrants that Phoenix tollerates. The city is a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants and it shows: violence, drugs everywhere, raids for illegal immigrants in a normally quite, suburban neighborhood and awfull traffic, because most of its Mexicans can't drive worth a dam, including the people who actually live there and belong there.

Phoenix is an undersirable urban err..suburban, desert, violent, drug-infested, heat island hell. It was once one of America's fastest growing metro areas, but that is no longer the case due to the decline in the housing market, by which Phoenix once led the nation. I hate this place.
