Ohio sucks!
Take a look at the new Ohio quarter. Now take a look at the North Carolina quarter that came out last year. The very nerve of those buckeyes! Yes, we all know that the Wright brothers grew up in Akron or some other godforsaken shit hole, and that they ran a bicycle shop there. They even designed and fabricated their airplane in Ohio. But isn’t the state where the flight happened the most important? The Statue of Liberty was designed and built in France, but it made New York (err, sorry, New Jersey) famous. The bombs that killed tens of thousands in Dresden were probably built somewhere in Illinois, yet there are no bands named after Champaign. Napoleon was born in Corsica, but do you think of him as anything but French?
I think I’ve made my point. Other than a couple of bloggers, Ohio has produced nothing of importance. And hey, those Olsens aren’t even from Ohio!

Location! Location! Location!
Nevermind the culture/society/household that nurtured innovation.
How did the state/people of NC contribute to greatness?
Did the masses gather, take a deeeep breath, and collectively exhale to propel the craft off the ground?
The state of North Carolina contributed because it is damn windy.
How much did the “people” of Ohio contribute? I bet they just made fun the guys building the flying machine until it actually flew.
I bet that Arizona puts the Grand Canyon on their quarter, and not one person helped to build it. But that doesn’t mean that it would be fair for Colorado to use the Grand Canyon, too, just because it was caused by the Colorado River.
Ohio totally blows dead rats in the gutter!
Round Outside, High in the Middle
Don’t ask me why I was searching for “ohio sucks,” just know that it returned: This – something I’ve always wondered – how can Ohio claim to be first in
Get a life people…they lived in Ohio & it took the brains of Buckeyes to get avation started. Not a bunch of Mayberry dwellers.
michigan sucks!
Yeah Ohio just like first guy from NC said no one of importance has come from this state. Do the names William Harrison, Benjamin Harrison Harding, Garfield, Taft, Hayes, and McKinley ring a bell? Oh Yea, they’re all Presidents. Oops! Forgot Ulysess Grant, would want to forget probably one of the most important figures in American history since Ben Franklin. How bout some other unimportant people from Ohio like hmm… Thomas Edison, John Glenn & Neil Armstrong, Jack Nicklaus, Ted Turner, & Steven Speilburg.
Ohio rocks, so fuck all of you!!!!!
Can you give me more info on why ohio sucks?
rockefeller, steinbrenner, sara jesica parker, carmen electra katie holms and more professional football players than any other state all come from ohio – oh ya and the current bcs champs. north carolina like south carolina, mississippi, etc. is a bunch of hillbillies. If you don’t believe me drive on any part of I 95 on your way to florida and you will see what I mean. No history (except slavery and betraying the USA by trying to leave), no culture, but alot of lazy hicks sitting on thier rear ends doing nothing. With these credentials you could understand why they have to use other states residents as their source of state pride.
I have lived in Columbus, OH for almost three years now and I HATE Ohio more and more every day! Not much good has come out of Ohio in the past and not much will in the future at this rate. If you know anything about history you would know Thomas Edison wanted HIS DC current system to be made the “standard” power source. He was dumb bacause AC is so much better and that is what we use today. Oh boy ,carmen electra, katie holms, Jack Nicklaus, Ted Turner, & Steven Speilburg. Get a life! Who cares about them. Ha, ” more professional football players than any other state all come from ohio”, ya right! You must get your stats from that horrible school called Ohio State. I recommend to everyone, stay away from oh!!!
Out of the few famous people from Ohio, how many still lived there after they bacame famous? Not too many!
Wow, when Dawn Olsen is trashing Ohio, that’s when I give up and move away…
We are infested with Ohioians here in NC. They think NC is the “Promised Land”. They leave Ohio in droves and all that can afford to – live here. Then they try to band together in pathetic sports bars and talk in their horrible accents. “Ohhhh yaaaaah”. It is the most horrible thing to witness.
Oh, for the love of Christ, now there’s some hillbilly from North Carolina bashing the way people from Ohio talk? Stop for gas sometime in Mt. Airy, North Carolina without a translator sometime.
I mean, I’ll admit, you don’t have to drive more than 30 minutes south of Cleveland to end up surrounded by a bunch of hilljacks and country bumpkins, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to have to listen to a bunch of hill people from North Carolina complain about it.
Deve, I gotta agree with you here. North Carolinians have nothing to say when it comes to accents. I know, I am one.
i agree…i live in ohio, ohio sucks…theres nothin’ to do here…the one place that freakin rules and will always be the number one state is NEW YORK! the best place on God’s green earth. ohio, is so boring…
Ohio sucks! A buckeye is a useless nut. Most cities in oh suck. People CANNOT drive in oh. Ohio runs commercials in other states about how fun Ohio is to visit. This fools no one. One thing to remember though, if you
Hey people this is still a free country and the oppinion is as prevalant as ever. I am a 9th gen tar heel and my best friends are from ohio …the place(ohio) is prety damn nice from what i hear and that`s from other north carolinans… just get over it ..it took more than the place and the people to get to a sucsessful end ..it took sacrifice … yeah a big word THAT NO ONE knows the defination of any more….
I lived in Columbus, Ohio for a while in the 90s.
Many nice people, but I suppose that could be said about anywhere. I’ve lived all over the Western world.
All in all, Columbus is a glorified farming community. It’s boring as hell!
Symphony was OK, smallish (understandable for a smaller city).
Also, there are almost ZERO city conveniences:
The taxi cabs cannot be hailed, and when you phone for one, you’ve got to give a destination address. That’s right, an ADDRESS. Not a corner or an area. How bloddy irritating.
Proper attire–good clothing–is nowhere to be found. There is NO GOOD tailor. There are a couple of good ready-to-wear shops I discovered, but they were far too small and had a limited selection. At the dry-cleaners, I was tended to by a high school girl!! I wouldn’t trust her with my underwear, let alone my good suit.
Fast-food dominates. The good food that is taken for granted in cities like Montreal (groceries and restaurants) is hard to come by in Columbus.
The local newspaper is a joke. The Financial Times is almost nowhere to be found. The Economst arrives at the news kiosk almost a week late.
I have been in similarly small cities, and I liked them. They were charming, however Columbus is not charming. I’d rather be in a small city in Switzerland (or Canada, Vermont, France, Italy, South Africa, California, etc) than in Columbus, Ohio.
Becuase Columbus, Ohio is not charming (go to Quebec City if you need a definition of “charming”), I dislike it. At least, I might enjoy myself anyway, but even that is difficult in Columbus.
No proper after-hours clubs. Crappy strip bars, Too much bad beer. Bad cinema. One local cinema chain tries to play independent films or other films from abroad, but, again, it is very small and limited. The list goes on…Oh, also, there is no such thing as good “cafe sitting” in Columbus.
THE IMPORTANT POINT:
The odd thing is, Columbus is a reasonably- sized city, in terms of population, and it is the state capitol. Therefore, why does it suck so much, why does it lack so many of the services, goods and other things that “big” cities have??
Any Columbus residents/lovers here?? What’s your response??
Ohio does not suck. It is Akron that sucks.
Wow, Get a load of this. A bunch of backwoods inbred booger eatin morons are gonna talk shit about Ohio and its inhabitants.
Yeah….right. Does your village know that their idiot is missing?
Let me give you a little tip before you get another case of atheletes tongue (for those of you from Mayberry, that means…..foot in mouth disease). It’s called “WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY”.
It is that big thing made out of paper, (For You Mayberrians…paper, thats the stuff you use your crayons on) underneath Bubba jr’s ass when he sits down at the dinner table.
Now lets address some of your hillbilly misconceptions about yankee’s in general and Ohioans in particular.
People from Ohio pretty much talk like most Midwestern people do. People from North Carolina pretty much remind me of Andy Griffith. Examples… Now don’t that beat all….wait a minute Gomer, I’m doin some cipherin here.
You dull doltish dimwits from North Carolina wouldn’t know how to wipe your ass properly much less claim to know anything about the history of aviation and flying an airplane.
With that irrefutable logic, I assume the first guy from out of state to dump a turd on your grubby little moss covered piece of road is the guy who invented the toilet too.
If brains were dynamite , you could put the whole damned state full of you redneccked peckerheads together still wouldn’t have enough to make a decent firecracker.
Now, the next time you want to have a battle of wits and trade insults with somebody from Ohio. 1) learn to read 2) ask momma if you can use her computer 3) look me up 4) I will tie half my brain behind my back to make it fair.
Now go back to pig fuckin or Grit grindin or whatever the hell it is you do down there when you ain’t on top of your sister and leave Ohio alone.
You suck, No, you suck, no YOU suck’
Yousucokl
I have lived in Akron for 26 years (my whole life). Akron is a perfectly good place to live, its no better or worse than any other midsized Midwestern city. Its a hell of a lot better than Toledo, Cleveland, Flint, Omaha, (or Raleigh, or Charlotte, or Asheville…) etc. Columbus is a bit flat and boring but its not too bad, either. All the “great” cities have their issues: San Francisco is littered with fags, Seattle is cloudy and rainy, Atlanta is what, third in murder rate in the US?–New York, no explanation needed…
akron? what hillbilly said the wright brothers were from akron?…..or did they even know it was the wright brothers that invented flight?….dayton, OH just for your future knowledge…thats where the bike shop still stands…so billy-bob and your sister just keep getin it on instead of blowing smoke out your ass. no one has mentioned cincinnati.. cincy will kick your ass!!!good or bad :p
fuck you stupid ohioans, what the hell are you so proud of??? all you can do is talk bad about other states when most of u stupid inbred hicks have never even been out of ohio. ohio is the most worthless piece of shit state ever. oh and to all u ohio mothafuckers dissing north carolina, it’s not just nc that hates u stupid midwestern fucks, it’s most of the south. i live in northern va (4 all u stupid ohio fucks who don’t know where anything is that isn’t in ohio, northern va is in the dc metro). everyone here in va hates ohio. there’s this 6 yr old a friend of mine babysits, his teacher told his class she’s from ohio, he told her fuck you. there’s so many people here that hate ohio, there’s too many to count. I had to live in that horrible state for 6 years until I turned 18 and now that I’m out of there I couldn’t be happier. finally away from all u conservative, closed minded, racist, stupid preppy ass inbred hicks. now if only u stupid mothafuckers would stay the fuck out of VA, MD, and DC…or better yet, stay out of all of the south. quit coming here in ur fucking tour groups staring at everything. why the fuck do u even visit when u have nothing good to say about anything south of ohio??? if u love ohio so much, just keep ur asses in ohio and the world will be a happier place
Dear Cliff,
Prepare yourself for a mighty crack back.
Ohians are… hmmmm… weeeell… uuuuuum… nothing quite comes to mind actually. No tired cultural stereotypes, no nothing. And that’s the point: Ohio is irrelevant.
i would just like to say that ohio sucks soooooo bad!!!!!! the rest of america is ok – not as good as england (u stole our language) but ohio is just simply the gayest shitiest place ever!
anyone that really hates ohio, go to my webpage it’s all about hating ohio and small towns (small towns = ohio, since ohio has so many small towns). the address to my page is http://nycdc03.tripod.com/ihatesmalltowns/
fuck michigan, go buckeyes, end of story
MISSISSIPPI AINT EVEN ON THE WAY TO FLORIDA, U MUST GRADUATED FROM MICHIGAN
I moved to the shithole that is Ohio last year, from California, Ohio IS a shithole. The natives here REALLY need to get over themselves. For some reason, these assholes think that they are the shit when in reality, they are actually looked down on by most of the country. I have never seen such a sorry bunch of losers in my life. The people here obviously have a phobia about toothbrushes, deoderant and birth control. Just about every female here has 4 plus kids by age 30 with 4 different fathers. These people also seem to have defecits in common sense and manners. Say Thank you to any Ohioan and he will respond with “YEP”…… What the fuck is that…… “yep” I am toothless inbred loser from Ohio. Have these fucks never heard the word You’re Welcome. Also, a vaccuum is not a SWEEPER, it is a vaccuum damnit…. a sweeper is either a machine gun or a broom. Don’t get me started on the crappy weather. In the summer you get maybe a total of 10 days of blue sky (not consecutive) The rest are gray cloud cover, strangling humidity and rain. There is constant snow and ice from November to April. Don’t even think of trying to make the mistake I did of starting a new life here, this state will suck the life right out of you!!!!}:(
You are all morons… jibber jabber, trying to sound intelligent. Ohio does not need to defen itself. If you do not like it… who gives a fuck…stay there and shut up.
Ohio is several places rolled into one. Northeast Ohio traces its heritage and its leading people to New England puritans. That’s Cleveland (our biggest metro area) and everything up in this corner of Ohio. Cincinnati, the oldest major city was founded by folks from further south on the east coast. Columbus twenty years ago wasn’t even worth mentioning. It still isn’t. Except that it is our best growing big city and most modern like some of your southern up and comers. Someday, maybe, Charlotte will be as big. Akron, Dayton, and Toledo have won and lost more jobs and money than most southern states ever have. We have metro areas the size of your states.
In addition to this, we have the first or second biggest population of Amish folks, a racial diversity that is similar to that of the US as a whole, acres of great plains farmlands in the northwest, Appalachian hills in the southeast. Lake Erie is one of the world’s great sport fisheries as well as home to a thriving vacation/tourism business. The Ohio River . . . well its big. And useful. We have trees. Not sorry assed scraggly shit like most of y’all, but deep forests of healthy oak, maple, sycamore, walnut, etc. Trees tested by weather, by the seasons, and time. We have pre ice-age bogs, bald eagle rookeries, and river after river after river. We have maple syrup in the spring and gorgeous fall colors. In summer you can actually go and stay outside here without melting. In winter you can ski, toboggan, or play hockey. We have what is either the best, or maybe second best orchestra on earth–the Cleveland. The best hospital in America? The Cleveland Clinic. The arts in Cincinnati and Cleveland are equal to those anywhere and superior to almost all of the south’s. Though our steel industry is drying up (thanks to you dumbasses who will work for half of what a real steelworker will work for), our economy never quits, has innovated, is innovating, will continue. Tops in polymers. Tops in LCD technology. Tops in restauranting, in retailing, and home to the first strip centers and malls of the modern era.
Rockefeller was a Clevelander. His partner, Henry Flagler, developed some swampy piece of crap land down south now known as Florida. Palm Beach through Key West, could not have happened without Cleveland money and know-how.
Edison. Someone dared question his genius? How about the arc lamp (Cleveland), the traffic signal (Cleveland), the cash register business (precursor to the computer business) (Dayton). The very first plug in circuit card for the very first IBM PCs, and the reason the PC got to be so popular (Cleveland). The amusement park with the most and best roller coasters on earth–Cedar Point.
The largest producer of cars and car parts outside Michigan. (You guys don’t know from INDUSTRY).
Big Old Cities (Cleveland, Cinci, Akron) Big New Cities (Columbus). One of the oldest, nicest, richest, planned suburban cities (Shaker Heights). One of the newest, nicest, richest planned suburban cities (New Albany). You don’t know from development, either. Sure, we build a lot of crap, too . . . but when we build nice, we build to last. YOU don’t and can’t. You can’t afford it and if you could, your tastes don’t run to quality.
Charlotte is supposed to be a banking capital? Our minor cities have more banks. Banks we own or grew include Bank One, KeyCorp, National City, Huntington, US Bancorp, Fifth Third.
You’ve got Atlanta. I’ll grant you that. Its big, its rich, its nice, and its growing. An awesome city. But what’s next after that? Podunk. After Atlanta, and before any other southern city, would be Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus.
Now . . . talk to me about Charleston and Savannah. That’ll impress me . . . but y’all don’t live there. Do ya?
Ohio is the state the candidates need to win. Cuz we can decide. Our diversity, our plain-ness, our conservatism, our big-city liberalism, our farmboys and girls, our ghetto dwellers, our religious and ethnic minorities . . . all come together to make a fascinating, capable place. It means we come up with the right solution. After all, we’re the state that gave YOU the underground railroad. We were right. We are right. We will always be right . . . its in our land, in our blood.
So don’t be so quick to cut on flyover territory. You only reveal your ignorance of the place. Kiss my Buckeye butt.
I have been fortunate enough to live in three very different parts of the US during my thusfar short life. I lived in GA for five years, northern NJ for 13, and OH for eight. Ohio, in my opinion, is by far the best of the three. The people are friendly and the population very diverse, especially in Columbus. The cost of living is very reasonable. There are many good-sized companies headquartered here, and we’ve had our share of presidents and celebrities, to boot. I cannot comment on the qualities NC, having never spent any significant time there. However, I’ve seen enough “OBX” stickers on people’s cars to make me want to gouge my eyes out.

Not to mention a stable local economy, supported by five Fortune 500 company’ headquarters, and one Fortune 100 company headquarters. Companies like The Limited, Bank One, the Scotts Company and Wendy’s have chosen Columbus as the best place for their headquarters.
So next time you buy a Classic Single with cheese or a new pink thong from Victoria’s Secret, remember where they came from. — and SUCK IT.
Mike – I don’t like Wendy’s or Victoria’s Secret.
Jason – Totally agreed on the OBX stickers.
Hey Ohio rules.
For the guy who said ‘mostohioans have never even left the state’ i would like to say that i am only 17 but iv been to all 48 contiguous states already. Most of them are pretty boring. I live in ohio and its not that bad. Even your blessed NC.
I love Ohio. My OSU Buckeyes recently beat NC state, and my Cavaliers have beaten your sorry Bobcats 4 times this season.
I will admit that UNC is good in basketball and i was glad to see their football team beat Miami.
The panthers are in the nfc, so being a browns fan I couldn’t care less about them. You don’t even have a baseball team, so there is no hate there. I can’t compare our hockey teams because the nhl is locked out.
Its hard to tell who is better, but we can all agree that michigan sucks.
Here you go:

A whole five!! I couldn’t do business in Columbus. Nor could most of my colleagues.
>>So next time you buy a Classic Single with >>cheese or a new pink thong from Victoria’s >>Secret, remember where they came from.—and SUCK >>IT.
Victoria’s Secrets is for people with bad taste (and women with larger frames). Among other brands, I buy La Perla for my wife. Do they sell much in Columbus?
Good restaurants in Columbus are few and far between.
Like I said before, try looking for a good tailor in Columbus – you won’t find one.
Public transport is a joke. Taxi cabs cannot be hailed in most places, and if you call for one in advance they require a destination address. What a joke!
The hotels in Columbus are awful.
It is a city mainly focused on shopping malls, Wendy’s and White Castle.
Scary Americans indeed – Columbus, Ohio.
Ohio is the rollercoaster capital of the world. Cedar point leads the way with 16 coasters. 4 of which have held the title of fastest and tallest in the world. The Top Thrill Dragster still should be, but a bunch of six flags pricks are copying the design, and building one that is just a little bit taller in New Jersey. (The Japanese did the same the the Millineum Force) Cedar Point has been rated as the best park in the world for at least six straight years now and has the best combination of steel coasters at any one park. Ohio also is home to Kings Island, home of the two best wooden coasters . A third park, Geuga Lake (was briefly called Six Flags Ohio, until Cedar Fair bought it) adds to Ohio’s coaster total. When you put the 3 together you get one hell of a selection of coasters.
Ohioans think a vacation is a trip to Kings Island or and other amusement park. LMAO what a joke there isnt anything in this state to do.
People from Ohio are arrogant,obnoxious,and very unfriendly. THEY SUCK !!!!!
Ohio is a shithole full of shitheads
AKRON PEOPLE SUCK AND ARE FULL OF SHIT. THEY COME TO MY NATIVE STATE OF CALIFRONIA AND TALK SHIT OF HOW THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER AND BE THE GREAT “WHAT EVERS”. THEY BLOW INTO LOS ANGELES AND AFTER 2 SECONDS BEING THERE THEY THINK THEY KNOW THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS. WHAT A BUNCH OF PATHETIC BACK WOODS ASSHOLES. IN CLOSING, EVERY TIME I SEE A CAR PLATE WITH “OHIO” ON IT I THINK ANOTHER STINKING ASSHOLE CREOWDING UP MY TOWN AND TALKING USELESS SHIT. STAY IN YOUR OWN LITTLE WORLDS. FROM, CALI NATIVE}:(
Geez this sounds like children bickering over something as insignificant as whether tater tots are better than french fries(they are both greasy fucking potatos).I have lived in Ohio my whole life and have visited cities like New York, Phoenix and Atlanta and they all have postive reasons to live there and negitave things to deal with. There are negatives to living in any state. Who cares if you don’t like Ohio(or any other state), move or shut up. Feel the love guys, state of residence aside we are all getting bent over by GWB.
Aww, the poor baby feels that Bush is fucking him. Plus he has to live in Ohio, which helped push the last election to Bush.
Asshole.
You should try and remember we live in the UNITED States of America! Ever heard “United we stand, divided we fall”? O Yeah and NC voted Bush in 2004 too, so you should either be happy that Ohio did, or mad that your own state did. Population of Ohio=11,435,798(Land area 40,948 Sq.miles). Population of NC=8,407,248(Land area 48,711 Sq. miles).High school graduates NC, percent of persons age 25+ =78.1%.High school graduates Ohio, percent of persons age 25+ =83.0%.

ohio suck.?wow. u now whats sucks? america is sucks.BUSH IS SUCKS
This extremely long blog (http://uglyohio.modblog.com) is a must read for anyone that really wants to know the facts about Ohio.
Ohio in my opinion, is simply a state that should be avoided at all costs.
I currently live in ohio, but hopefully, I will be able to move back to a Western state before too long. Living in Ohio the past five years has been a true nightmare.
John
I have lived in ohio(9 years), I think i would rather get kicked in the nuts repeatidly on a daily basis than to live in the nations septic tank. The peopple are 2 faced redneck alcohioics that think they are better than eveyone else. Also I don’t know which is more flater the land or most of the girls, yea some got tits and look good but considering toledo ohio is the STD capital of the world (can remember my source but it’s a fact) its like playing russian roulet everytime. O then you have the fat chick that think they are the shit, the fact is the smell like shit and when they are in the bar’s walking around you have to brace yourself and your drink for a earthquake. O here is a trick top play on someone, put a cheeseburger rapper in their back pocket and watch the fat chicks tackly them.O what else their is so much to say that I can even think of right now because I am so pissed off just thinking about ohio. Umm O yea the cop are a bunch of worthly bullshit asshole that deserve to be shot.
(your know the bull shit amd don’t tell the truth)
THIS ONES FOR YOU HOYT, DANA WANTS YOU TO LICK HER FUPA
LenDog
The Buckeye is a useless nut. Couldnt have said it better. Ohio is useless. Everyone in Ohio is useless. Ive been stuck here since before I was a stain on the mattress. The land is flat and boring. The towns are shitholes. The people here are rude, backstabbing, stuck up bunch of jerks. They are also bullshit. They will be your best pal and then talk shit to everyone around you, behind your back. And the precious little town that screwed me out of my livelihood out of their own greed can kiss the fattest part of my ass. The weather sucks here too. The winters are long, freezing ass cold, and they make your fucking car rust. The summers are short, hot, and humid as fuck. My advice, if you are smart and you live in Ohio, GET OUT while you still can. If you are out, STAY OUT. Dont even drive thru it. My ass is already headed westward so dont expect to see me here!!!
Let’s see …
Ohio State’s football coach once punched the other team’s player — so they named a building after him.
Ohio State’s star running back robbed two people at gunpoint and is now in jail.
A married woman in a Columbus bar asked me to feel her breast implants to see if they were real (only after she asked me what country I was from — since I’m not white or black … oh and here’s the real kicker, I’m from the USA!!!)
Cleveland managed to set the Cuyahoga River on fire in 1969 because they dumped so much junk in it.
Art Modell couldn’t do jack with the Browns in the 35 years he owned them in Cleveland, yet managed to hoist the Lombardi trophy within 5 years after leaving.
Yeah — Ohio is a cesspool. Lets turn it into a lake a be done with it. OSU can beat Michigan as many times as they want, but that won’t change the fact that the OSU fans were probably better off saving their money and getting a community college degree.
Trust me the people that are bashing Ohio dont know nothing of this state. Trust me when i graduate i will move to Arizona. Most of these hicks from NC are dumb. Ohio is ranked 24th in graduating students. NC is ranked 44th they are so freakin dumb. I went through NC to go to Florida i would never spend a night in shity ass NC. But there were these hicks in like Statesville NC they were like awww we heard ya’all are from Ohio and they keep telling us about that shitty as town called Statesville. Trust me i will always remeber NC as the place i met the hicks. Ohio is not near as bad as sooo many other states that i can think of. Pennsylvania is the worst state that i have ever been too. Horrible roads and nothing but white hicks. I live in Westlake Ohio outside of Cleveland and Cleveland rocks. There is so much to do in this city. It has gone through a boom it looks completely different than it did 20 years ago and it has been voted all american city 5 years in a row. Cant say that for Charlotte. Went through there on I-77 and the city smelled like crap. Potholed freeways all through that city. Ohio is better than other states take that into consideration before you bash any state.
Ohio is a great state. I moved here from Pittsburgh PA and i now live in Hilliard burb of Columbus. There are thousands of families a year that moved to Columbus from all over the country. They love it here. For those of you who talk bad about Ohio dont even know it or you havent even been here. And if you have been here it was probaly 30 years ago when the economy began to lag like the rest of the country. There are alot of people that move to Ohio from neigboring states like PA and Michigan and that is saying something. Michigan is a bad state. Highest crime rate. Home to americas poorest city (Detroit) also MURDER CAPITAL and has the highest unemployment rate in the country. I cant tell you how many thousands of cars i see in the summer time when i go up to Huron Ohio by the lake from across the country. Lake Erie is not polluted. They have some of the best beaches of any of the Great Lakes and Ohio has cleaned up their part of Lake Erie pretty good. Edgewater Park in Cleveland’s North Coast has great beaches and great views of the skyline. And they have some awesome parasailing in the summer. Ohio has some of the best amuesment parks in the country from Paramounts Kings Island to Cedar Point to Six Flags. Ohio spends 12.7 billion on tourism a year compared to 8.8 billion in NC. Shows which state is getting more tourists. NC is full of hicks and for you North Carolinans who are talking about Ohio i know that you dont want to admit your state is bad. But you have to wake up and smell the coffee. NC is just another southern state with your racists values and dumb outlook at life.
I dont care about NC. Never been there. Dont say Ohio haters dont live here, in Ohio– I have lived in Ohio for all my life– I still stand behind my previous post. Ohio sucks now, sucked then and will always suck ass. I could go on all day about why. That is why Im moving out.
I have lived in Ohio for 15 years and it does suck compared to every other place I have been. I will be leaving by this time next year. For those of you who do not understand this, you must be irretrevably stupid or have never lived in another state for any amount of time.
I think this is why more people have left Ohio than any other state in the US over the last five years according to the US census.
The cities of Ohio have are all in the top ten in the percentage of people lost also. I could write a book
explaining why this is the case but I think it is summed up well by the previous posts. Ohio is the only place I have been where all the towns basically look the same no matter where you are. In that case the whole state basically looks the same.
It is a vast waste land of farm fields with nothing to attract visitors (unless they like this sort of thing). The reason people make such a big deal about sports is because it is something you have everywhere but because there is nothing else to do here people think they are way more important than they are. They also can not understand why a person
does not care that much about sports. I think they should use Ohio as a nuclear test site/radioactive waste storage facility. It would be the least missed place on the planet.
I lived a mile from the Michigan Ohio border (on the Michigan side just north of Toledo) for twenty years. I lived in South Toledo for one year, Conneticut for one year, and have lived in Hawaii for the last four years. I recently finished out five years of service in the Navy (thats how I got out of Michigan/Ohio). After being dishcharged my wife and I decided to stay in Hawaii, she’s from Norhtern Virginia. I travel home about once a year and everytime I go back I can’t wait to leave. Toledo sucks, it is one of the dullest, boring, most wanna be cities in the country. Downtown is imporving, but the job market is horrible. The city looks like shit and the people are allmost as stuck in their ways as people from the South. There are more people that smoke, drink, and have kids out of wedlock than just about anywhere else in the country. When I took my wife there to visit she took one look around and just shook her head. “Now I can see why you are the way you are,” she said. Im glad that I got out of that shithole. In Toledo there is definatley one thing that people do well. EAT!! All there is to do is eat, eat, and eat some more. That is why all the women are so freakin fat. The good looking women that do live in Ohio (not being fat qualifies you as a good looking women) only date six figure salarymen. Granted, Im lucky that Im living in Hawaii. I had to join the Navy to get out of that mess they call Michigan/Ohio. As far as the Michigan Ohio war over which one sucks worse it is a flat out tie. They both really suck and that is why everyone goes down south to vacation. But I will say this, being in the service and meeting people from all over the country I would hands down give the IQ battle to the North.
I live here in Cincinnati, Ohio and i have my whole life (19 years) and i must say Ohio SUCKS! what is there to do here?! umm go to Newport on the Levi and spend money or walk the purple people bridge… but let me tell you … after doing that 3- 4 times gets really old and you get really broke. then once you spend all your money what can you do but go to a boring park and walk trails with all those brain dead losers who have no lives. nothing is good about Ohio really except the Wright Bros and even they aren’t that famous …. well there is Charles Manson who is from Ohio but he is in prison for the rest of his life (and you know why). We have the most racial issues here in Cincinnati than any other city in the U.S. guaranteed. People have grudges against everything around here and if you look at somebody in a way that they don’t like, you will probably get shot. Soon we are going to have to board up our windows at nights because people are breaking into houses so bad around here. well i can’t wait until i move out… that is my goal in the next couple of years! Good Luck in Ohio!
comparing the SHITHOLE of nc. to Ohio is like comparing the chimp we call a pres. to AlbertfuckinEinstein!!!! the people of NC. are subhuman,racist,inbred,jealous,murderous,dumber than dogshit,corrupt assholes!!!! FUCK GENERAL LEE!!!! his daddy did or so history records. the local hick majority has this sick vendetta against Ohio because of the license plate motto. the state pigs are worshipped by the local morons like gods but as far as police corruption go it dont get worse than durham. a durham pig can make the the entire lapd and new orleans po-lice force look like angels. also, the state of nc. has the biggest gathering of homo males this side of frisco. thats another reason for the high concentration of repukes. i’ve never been to Ohio but i can damnsure admit its much better than nc. ever was on a good day. i’m not from nc. but i used to live there when i was in the military. the “christian al-queada” holds alot of power amongst the subhuman natives. those jesus crispys are beyond crazy. the nc. hicks refer to people of Ohio as “OH-10′s” is that goofy or what? to anybody with a non-inbred,brighter than a gnat mental state, and a Love for Freedom and Liberty please stay as far away from the state of nc. as possible. you’ll thank me for this advice if ya knew what i know. i still have nightmares about that shithole. last but certainly not least, the local females in ANY county of nc. make great centerfolds for “crackhead illustrated”. i wouldnt fuck’em with my worst enemy’s dick!!!!!YUCK. would be nice to give that worthless state back to the Cherokee but damn we killed’em all!!!!!!!
I lived in Ohio all my life too, mostly in Cincinnati and it has changed for the worse. I’m not comparing it with N.C. because I’ve never been there, but living in N.E Ohio, and S.W. Ohio I know that state like the back of my neighbor’s wifes…..well nevermind. Cincinnati was a great place to grow up in the 70′s and 80′s although making many headlines with the Who concert at the coliseum in ’78 which I witnessed, and the downtown riots from the Cool jazz festival. There is just too much decention between whites and blacks. Back in the early 90′s Cincinnati was voted the seventh most desired place to live in the U.S. but that quickly dropped to the bottom after all the bullcrap riots. This was not a place for me to raise a family anymore, so we got the heck out! The cost of living in Cincy even increased, so good luck in the Nati.
all right, enough fighting about Ohio vs hillbillies. I’ll settle this once and for all – I was born in Ohio, raised in Ohio, live/work/go to school in Ohio and, unfortunately, I’ll probably die in Ohio. But, the way I see it, all the places I’ve been, every place is the same. traffic, stupid people restaurants, businesses, stores. every place sucks. and, as far as hillbillies go – my boyfriend comes from Eastern Kentucky. He’s got an accent and is full of Southern charm. He is also one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known. His interests range from politics and current events to history and technology. His family is full of successful intelligent people. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
^How can you say Ohio is like anywhere else? That statement only says that you have never been anywhere else, or you have that “ohio attitude” that everyone sucks but us (very common here).
Yes, every area, city of the world has its issues, and common problems, traffic, etc.
Ohio is among the worst of the worst. I never realized how monotonous Ohio life was until I visited other areas. I have been around the country, to many many major cities, often for 2 weeks at a time or more. Each had so much more in terms of scenery, culture, outdoor activities, and desirablility, when compared to Toledo, and Ohio.
I have traveled the state of Ohio as well, and yes, there are interesting things to do there, but they are few and far between and require much money and travel.
I am from Toledo, which has to be the worst part of Ohio. All they care about there is drinking, eating at the millions of restaurants, getting fat, and OSU. The depressed feeling you get from living there for any length of time is suicide inducing. The town is also in a huge state of urban decay, with most of it consumed by hi-crime ghetto. Hi taxes, a communist bible-thumping yuppie mentality, hell-bent to ban everything thats “bad” for you pretty much describes the rest of the residents. The small towns of the Toledo area are consumed by a high rate of crack-cocaine use and heavy drinking. That is just the tip of the iceberg. I am a first hand witness to all of this, having lived in this area for nearly 25 years. Luckily I am fortunate enough not to be trapped here. I spend as much time elsewhere as possible.
I dont give a crap about hillbillies or Ohio vs. NC. IMO North Carolina would be a much much more desirable place than Ohio.
At 5am, waiting for a flight abroad (thank god), the thought that there is nothing better to do until then except sit here and google “ohio sucks” and write this rant sickens me even more. Its 8 weeks less I will be spending in this cesspool for 2007. The less time here the better.
Soon, my tenure in this state will be over for good. I cannot wait to see this hole in my rear-view mirror for the last time.
I cannot believe this blog has been going on for 5 years!! Holy shit!!
I am from MI and I know clearly that it sucks– I am all for people defending their states and upbringing and all that jazz, but come on! I currently live in Columbus, OH til July 1st working for Abbott Labs. I have been all over the country and met tons of people through church trips, habitat for hummanity, and other events. I think of myself as a pretty open minded person, and thats where i think the problem with Ohio grows. It seems the vast majority of the people in this state are ignorant, arrogant, and extremely rude. I have met some great people in Ohio as well, but the majority have been unfortunately jerks. I do not know of another place in the US that is so unfriendly. I don’t even tell people i am from MI, I say i am from Chicago, and they are still horrible. Fix the people and then hopefully the state will follow. I do like Donato’s pizza though!
This is a quote from an above posting:
“Ohio is ranked 24th in graduating students. NC is ranked 44th they are so freakin dumb.”
Here is my response to that. First of all, you were both bragging about ohio’s graduation rate. well check this shit out, here in Fairfax County, VA, the graduation rate is 90.7%. But that doesn’t even matter, graduating high school doesn’t mean someone is smart. Try taking the GED test. Can you pass it? Now let’s see who is the dumb one.
Now to my next point. As to you said here, “Trust me the people that are bashing Ohio dont know nothing of this state. Trust me when i graduate i will move to Arizona. I went through NC to go to Florida i would never spend a night in shity ass NC. Trust me i will always remeber NC as the place i met the hicks.” LMAO, who are you to call people in NC hicks, hahaha. Look around you, right there in ohio! Or should I say “ohh-hiii-ohhh” as your people like to say it, all slow and hickish. Obviously you haven’t been to Charlotte or Raliegh, they’re both a million times better than any place in ohio. I hate country places, but if I had to choose between going to a small town in ohio or one in NC, I would easily choose NC. Btw, do you know what people here in VA think of ohio? I had a friend who once told me that he’d only been to ohio because he had to drive thru it to get somewhere else. He said he didn’t really even see anything, and it just looked like a big retirement home to him. LOL. That’s because there’s nothing to see there (except a bunch of annoying arrogant hicks). I myself unfortunately was trapped in ohio for 5 years, because I was under 18 so I couldn’t get out. That was a NIGHTMARE.
Here’s another quote from the same guy, “I live in Westlake Ohio outside of Cleveland and it has been voted all american city 5 years in a row.” An All American city?? ugh. c’mon, you’re gonna make me throw up. the “all american” places are the annoying places. the place I hate the most in that state was called “flag city usa”. there were more flags there than there are around the White House. Here in Fairfax County, VA, we have the most foreign born people. Foreign born persons, percent, 2000 24.5%. That was in 2000, now I’m sure there’s more than that here today. That is something to be proud of. Diversity kills ignorance, while an “all american” place breeds ignorance and re-enforces people’s closed minded thinking.
By the way, the population of Fairfax County is 1,010,443, and that’s for 395 square miles. Persons per square mile, 2000 2,455. Here’s ohio’s Persons per square mile, 2000 277.
One final comment. ohio sucks!!!!
You don’t know losers until you have lived in Norwood Ohio I did for twelve years wish I had those years back. These people are pathetic they live in the worst city in Hamilton county but yet they do nothing to improve this dive of a town. They allow themselves to be pushed around by the town bully and spend their spare time hanging out in bars and picking fights and harassing people a true bunch of losers.
mmm moved 40some time.. Lived in Los angls, San Diego, Virginia, New Jersey, Maine, Dc, and many other places.. But half my moves for sme odd reason have been back to Ohio. Calif could not pay me enough to move back there. Va. is ok if you are govt or military connected. NJ pretty but expensive to live in ad that no fauolt insurance been there done that sorry not again..
DC the daily drive is enough to give anyone headach.
NC been there its pretty for a rat hole.
There mu7st be a reason that so many people who grow up in Ohio who way ” im out of here just as soon aws I can.” Return eventually to live ad go this is what has been missing from my life the nonrat race of life. And cant beat the educational value of most universities.. compaired to the cal university system they were the ones who started the ‘spelling doesnt count or the math answer doesnt count theory.. Could be because they did not teach up to the rest of our standards.. so we dumb down the rest of the country.
As for NC gee all you have to do is follow the typed words tat are not words such as Aint which if it were a word is not spellet properly.. there should be an apostrophey between the N and the T. And My kids mouth would be washed out with soap if they used that nonword of the uneducated hillbilly.
You know that annoying green stuff that is called food or what we need to feed the food.. better get over it and better hope it stays here .. because if that goes what possibly could be next…
Having lived coast to coast and many places in the middle there is a reason I live in Ohio and not Va, Calif, Fla, etc couldn’t tell you what it is but there is a reason.. It is home.
Ohio vs NC? Like Tempo vs Cavalier or Bush vs Blue Ribbon. They both suck. Been to NC, lived in Ohio several years, now living in South Florida. Shovel some snow for me you frozen losers!
It was 75 degrees here in Wilmington, NC today, low of 46 (65/41 in Charlotte); Columbus high was 41, low of 27 and probaby snow on fri. ‘Feels like’ in Wilmington was 75 (Charlotte 63), Columbus ‘feels like’ was 29. I Don’t think there’s very many college girls going to class in bikinis at Ohio State, there are quite a few here at UNCW already… but you keep telling yourselves how much it sucks down here in NC, we’re fine with that. Stay there. It’s popular enough here already. We have real beaches! And mountains! And we’re the hottest thing since sliced bread for people moving out of California or the northeast.
# of friends I know here from OH, 3
# of those who will ever go back to OH, 0
Ask yourself this, have you ever seen a bar full of Carolina Panther fans congregating to watch and cheer for their team in Ohio? The answer is NO. While we must endure a myriad of Browns, Steelers, Redskins, Giants, and other ‘backers’ bars here in my fair state because you’re all moving here!
This is flat out one of the best places in the country to live, and routinely ranks as such in top publications year after year. Housing hasn’t tanked here, we have a great climate, tons of stuff to do, many of THE best universities, beautiful southern women, almost year-round golf or any other outdoor activity, etc. etc. etc…
Also in all the years this comment section has been going, ONLY those living in Ohio log on to complain about their OWN city or state. Not one negative comment from someone living in NC. I think that says it all.
(Oh and about those OBX stickers… they annoy many people, but the fact is only those who actually live on the outer banks, or tourists tend to have those. Many tourists (including those from Ohio) love to buy those and stick them on their car to show off to others back home in the cold that they went somewhere warm and beautiful)
And one last point I should mention again… If people in Ohio think NC sucks… fine… I gotta run, dropping my boat in the intracoastal waterway for some R&R this afternoon, maybe some golf tomorrow… yeah it’s early March suckers!
Well Ohio isn’t the greatest but it is what it is. North Carolina used to be really nice but now it’s getting too crowded for me. Much preferred the “hick” NC of years ago. Anyways out west trumps both. I could live anywhere in the US and be happy. Out.
I have lived in Ohio since 1974 and I must say Ohio is the worst state there is. Btw I am a Army brat and I have lived all over the USA. People here in Ohio are so full of themselves. I don’t know why because it is so boring here. I am orginally from Washington State and I wish I was living there now. Anyways people here are rude,obnoxious,they can’t drive for crap. Anyone from Ohio reading this Get over yourself people from the other 49 states think you’re a joke and thats because you are.
I say ditto and amen to the previous poster. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Ohio is a dump, a joke ,and a garbage state. I’m 23 and I’m prayerfully getting outta here by the end of the year. I’m not wasting anymore of my precious 20′s in this piece of crap state,and to make things worst, I live in Cincinnati of all places,,yuck..I hate this trashbag ass city..
Ohio is the most boring place to live. The weather sucks but most of all the people are rude,arrogant,obnoxious,and so full of shit. The people of Ohio need to get over themselves. To the people of Ohio a vacation is when you go to an amusement park.Get real people. And they are always trying to shove black people down your throat. I am proud to be white and I’m also part Indian so people of Ohio need to quit the white guilt shit. I was’nt born here in Ohio so I don’t owe the blacks a damn thing.I was born on the West Coast in a state where hardly any blacks live. If you people of Ohio feel like you owe the black race anything leave me out of it.Ohio State University fans act like a bunch of animals.
I just found this blog by googling the following phrase: Why are people in northeastern ohio so unfriendly? I have lived in Ohio for 16 years but was born in NC and raised by North Carolinian parents. I have never gotten used to the fact that people are so outwardly unfriendly. You can be walking down an aisle in the grocery store, and there is one person walking towards you, and you try to make eye contact, smile or say hello, and they don’t even look at you. Or you say, excuse me, and they GLARE at you. Does anyone know where this comes from? It’s like people are introverted, or extremely standoffish. It has always driven me nuts. Where are people friendly and nice to each other?
yeah…Ohio does suck, I have lived here for 39 years (I know, move….when I retire I will) Ohio is done, it is dead, the best years are behind them. We are stuck in the rust belt with no beaches, no commerce and no hope. We have too many social programs that encourage the poor and indigent to move here, building upon and taxing our already near breaking social load. Oh, and the Wright brothers (small thing, like inventing flight) were from Dayton, Ohio, not Akron.
Oh…I did forget one good thing about Ohio…
The Ohio State Buckeyes pretty much kick ass…..Go BUCKS!
The Ohio State. Just one more reason that Ohio sucks.
Their state is a shithole – and you can get into there college if you can 1. color in a coloring book and 2. say the alphabet …the whole DeadShembechler thing proves how classy there retarded alum is…..too bad they didnt have a dummy they could hang in case another one of there coaches wanted to attack another student.
Fuck You Buckeyes!
Seems like many agree that the state of Ohio sucks but I also see there are a lot of haters out there of the Ohio State Buckeyes. If you are an OSU hater then relax…just suck it up and realize that our Buckeyes will beat your team pretty much every time we play. So hate away, it really is the greatest form of flattery.
Early prediction….Ohio State goes to the National Championship again!
and before you flame me….I don’t care if they lose every NC game, at LEAST we are there baby!
I have lived in Ohio my whole life and I really hate it.I feel like I am never going to escape to a modern cool laid back place. I cant stand reading all the blogs from people that are actually proud of living here. They like to throw all these facts all over and act like they are smarter than everyone else.Every state has things they can brag about . People in Ohio have to get halfway drunk to be as nice as north caroliners act normally. People are so stuffy and rude here. The only thing they like to talk about is where your going to collllege at la ti da.If you dont your a loser , that is all that is important here. When you are in a store and they ask you how you are today they really dont care. People are fake here and its hard to find nice non shallow people.Living in Ohio has made me realize people , especially rich people , try really hard to impress other people . People are analyzers here and anything out of the ordinary makes them panic.If I was 300 pounds, and liked baking pastries,didnt like to excersise or go outside because its usually dark and horrible here, liked wearing embroidered sweatshirts with fall leaves on them with a matching turtleneck with little pumpkins all over it maybe I would enjoy living here. I like the 1970 primary color fashion in ohio. The browns are orange and brown and the indians are red and blue. If a modern building is built here it seems like everyone gets all flustered and complains about how distracting and weird it is/i love it how its only nice three months out of the year. I dont understand how its cloudy almost every other day. out of all places why do i have to live here. Im suprised we dont have three eyed fish in lake erie its so disgustingly dirty. I could go on and on about how much I hate it here. I need to live somewhere where there are people with personalities and there is life and color and energy and excitement .
The whole state of Ohio is giant golf course with khacki wearing , snot nosed people.
COLUMBUS Ohio sucks cause number one they have no beaches trailor trash people that have issues half the people are crack heads and have diabetes the lakes are dirty who wants to swim in a lake theres always a shooting there they have nothing to do there and small minded rednecks i’m telling you dont live in ohio and they cut there pizzas wrong little square size bits there resturants arent that great OHIO IS REALY DEPRESSING AND THEY ALSO HAVE LOTS OF CHILD MOLESTERS THERE THATS ONE OF THE LARGEST STATE THAT HAVE CHILD MOLESTERS OR PEDIFILES
I know that wherever you go there are jerks and you’ll eventually get bored of where you live and have nothing to do, but Ohio is so boring already, that its insanely boring to get bored of. I would love to get bored of beautiful sunny days, no snow, laying on a real beach. I would love to get bored of beautiful flowers and wildlife , and scenery(like in north carolina).I especially would like to get bored of fresh clean air and not looking at cement and dirtiness everywhere. Living in Ohio is like that movie Groundhog day. It gets so monotounous and old. I love the weather here, you think that winter is finally over and you think your mental, its gets nice for three months, then its back to cold darkness all over again . Its like living in Transylvania . Oh and to the blogger (Page) that blogged on March 25th here is an answer to your question. Its not only you, people are outwardly rude here. I think it’s a north thing. People are miserable because this place is miserable.I have lived in Ohio my whole life.(26 years)When I go on vacation down south I realize how rude and fast paced I am. I feel strange when random people are nice to me and smile. It actually catches me off guard.
I have lived in Ohio for my entire life. Yes, Ohio sucks, but in no way could either Carolina State claim they are any better. Three Words, freaking Hill Jacks, cover both North and South Carolina. In Ohio, its mostly all Hill Jacks from Columbus to the furtherest point south in Ohio. Then you have Kentucky and Tennessee, Shotgun Weddings and Swamps both including inbreeding. Pretty much the further you go east, the dumber people become and the more violent. Ohio as well as North and South Carolina have beautiful landscapes and nature. Another thing that sucks about Northwest Ohio is it is so freaking flat that you can literally see to the next town.
Ohio is the 7th level of hell to the infinite power. The people here are not ignorant (even the ignorant can be taught); the folks in good old OH IO are down right stupid! They drive like they are the only people on the road (to he** with everyone else!). Most if not all of the citizens are under educated, alcholic, inbread, redneck trailor trash. The politicians and other “community leaders” are lying, deceitful monsters. The major cities are, for the most part, populated with mulitant negros who feel that since a single relative somewhere in their past was a slave, the ENTIRE WORLD now owes them some form of retribution. Ohio should be walled off, the citizens tested and those who can read above a college level air lifted out. The rest should be confined and gassed. It is time to thin the heard!
ohio only cool areas is n.e. ohio area (like akron, cleveland,and kent) yellow springs is cool so is oberlin. ceder point too. Over all ohio is lame worst place is columbus the people are unwelcoming and the most in the nation my opinion. i hate the columbus buckeye fans they hate even buckeye fans from outside columbus.
about columbus is the city where bands try to avoid like iggy pop does a stage dive and no one caught him he ended up in the hosiptal. tori amos hit with a beer bottle while performing years ago. billy corgon of smashing punkins got booed off stage. band misfits say it worst place to play. remember pantera guitarist he got shot on stage in columbus. I lived there few years too long myself. i can say the older people are easy going use to be a city to go to in the 80s. it looks like a clean city. what drives me away is the people are unwelcoming. i had another friend i know lived in columbus for a few months he from boston and lived new york city he traveled the world and came friends easily. he also a pick up artist with women. he hate columbus he says people there ignorant and shady even the rich areas. he lived there for about 6 months. he say coun’t even get a women thats right and he thinks they are shady even areas like worthington or upper allington. he said it was the first time ever got turned down by a women. he say if you look at a person wrong way they hate and i agree. i find people there are anal in columbus too. there’s megamall in columbus ohio has dress code . there are racal tension there . columbus area upper allington is 99.6 percent white. it sick
im glad to leave that city. and moved out of the state. ohio is lame in most part, there are a few cool places. columbus is full of hicks and anal people. columbus has alot new money that are very hickey not classy rich. there are no hippies or bohemianin type in that city. people there are shallow and narrow . anyone who reads this if know some who you hate get them to move to columbus.
Stay out of SC anus holes…. your pasty, fat, you smell and the only thing you stand for is your dumb football team…. you are in the bottom ten for ecco friendly states…. and not on the rise either…. the ocean hates you too… gobacktoohio.com

Ohio sucks. The only reason the Wright Brothers built a plane was so they could get out of the shithole.. There’s nothing in Ohio but butt-fucking Yankees. So what if I fuck my cousin, you Ohio bastards can’t get any pussy at all.
If you’re looking for a cool place in OH, go to Yellow Springs, southwest, around the Dayton-Xenia area.
Probably the most down-to-earth people you’ll meet in the entire state. You can leave your bike sitting somewhere and no one will steal it, there’s pleanty of woods to hike and there’s always a party going on.
As far as Ohio sucking, it does. There’s nothing to do, and I’ve lived in Nati, Dayton, the works. Boring. But that doesn’t mean im not prideful of where I come from, we have good people like any other place.
Yet I wouldn’t say it’s the worst place to live. Shut the fuck up, you could be in Detroit.
Michigan sucks. At least we don’t emit half the smog that comprises the entire continental U.S.
Party Like a Buckeye baby! It sure takes alot of ppl to complain about OHIO. Those of you complain must not have a life. I dont sit around bitchin bout other states cause that would piss u off if it was your home state. I love Texas, Ohio and many states. SO GET THE FUCK OFF MY HOME STATE! I was born and raised in Ohio and yeah there mite not be a whole lot to do here, but i can go to another city to do stuff too. And whoever the Fuck said Ohio State University sucks can blow it out there ass. If i remeber rite weve been undefeated goint into championship or damn close to it. So shut the fuck up and get a damn life, friggin Whiners!
Oh and i think Prisoners got us confused with a neighboring state! Oh if Ohio is so BAD fucking MOVE dipshits or shut up!
PARTY LIKE A BUCK
PARTY LIKE A BUCKEYE
PARTY LIKE A BUCK
PARTY LIKE A BUCK
BITCHES! TEEHEE!

enough said!
I was reading some of your gripes about Ohio, I agree with most
of them, I used to vacation in SC every summer, and lived there for
awhile, if you want a good place to live in, I would highly recommend
SC, they have some of the kindess, not rude people that I have ever met, by the way, I will get back down there sooner than the latter.
I have been treated very badly here since I moved back, and the people here need to practice their social ethics. They don’t know
how to be nice, and they certainly don’t care about anyone but themselves.
While searching the web for a site to complain on I found this one. For me Ohio sucks for many reasons. The weather, that really sucks, the conservatists and bible thumpers STILL won’t pass the casino issue, they go to the polls vote no and then go their house of worship and pay money to play a game of chance to win money…MMMM….
The economy sucks here, the wages are low, some people are rude, drivers here suck especially on route 8. There is nothing to do and you can’t smoke anywhere!! I am sure every state has their issues and the grass is always greener….but I would like to win the lotto give up my citizenship and move to Barbados. I have been to NC, near the ocean it is nice would not want to live there it is too humid but the ocean is great!!
anyone who thinks ohio is great apparently has never been out of ohio.theres nothing to do here. ive never seen so many fat ass ugly
women in one state like ohio. people in ohio are afraid of casinos
and strip clubs. god forbid if anyone wants to have sex in ohio.
people in ohio think sex is dirty. but then again buckeyes shouldnt
be allowed to breed. people in ohio are rude,arrogant,unfriendly,
& fucking stupid.
NCR is moving to Georgia. HAHAHAHA Ohio you deserve it for being such assholes.
Only 2 kinds of women in Ohio FAT & STUCKUP
I unfortunely live in Ohio and the people here are so damn stupid.
They keep advertising Kings Island,Cedar Point & The Beach, like
going there is a vacation. LOL You buckeyes really need to get a clue
thats not a vacation thats a getaway. Dumbasses dont konw the difference between a getaway and a vacation. Damn you people are stupid.
Ohio can make you sucidial,even hell would be better than here.
You people are fucking dumbasses. Stop posting these idiotic long comments on how much ohio sucks. And also stop just assuming that colombus is like the rest of ohio you dumb motherfuckers. If you hate ohio so much stop talking about it and move to YEEEHAAAWWW NORRTTH CARROOLLINA! You’re all a bunch of stupid hillbilly hicks. And the only reason people from ohio go there is to get JOBS! I know dozens of people from ohio who were forced to go there because theres no jobs in ohio because so many people live here and so few live there, because it sucks.
I’m not from North Carolina you stupid buckeye freak. You’re one of those people who hasn’t done much traveling I see. I am a Army brat
that has been all over the US and the world. Ohio is the worst place to live. People from Ohio are rude,arrogant & down right stupid.Let’s not forget how ugly Ohio is. It’s flat and it only has 2 seasons, too cold or too hot.Going to an amusement park is not a vacation, so get clue.
I love how all these people that bash Ohio are making rude, snide, arrogant comments about ohioans being rude, snide, and arrogant. I have been all over the country and can tell you one thing. There is no lack of IGNORANCE in ANY state. And by the way, North Carolina is “first in flight” and Ohio is “The birthplace of aviation”
..Yes, but the people who were contributors to ”First in Flight” in sorry North Carolina back in 1903 were from Ohio. I couldn’t imagine why some idiot would go to either one of those states (NC or OH). Just to say the people down here are: ”stupid, unfriendly, ignorant, etc.” is an understatement (and a lot of it was brought down here by many of these Northerners). It would be lovely if these buckeye fucks would bring more the positive opposed to the negative. North Carolina is southern and it’s beginning to feel like the WORST of the North (where I am originally from). Not to mention many of those NYC people (who are equally as stupid) move down here like crazy too and NEVER bring any of their decent restaurants with them either; just their snotty attitude. North Carolina was a much more decent place to live until all these arrogant assholes started to move here. Yeah! Then, in parts of the North, many Southerners went up there and did the same thing (i.e. brought their equally awful mentality with them too.) In parts of Ohio, I did not get a bad impression of the people at all. That place (as well as any state) would be a much more pleasant place if these CAROLINA FUCKS would stay the fuck away. You also have those stupid Hoosiers (people from Indiana) around but that’s a different story.
HMMMMM, Ohio is the worst state I have ever lived in. I have never met so many useless people in all my life. Want! Want! Want! is all I have seen here. Users, thieves, ungrateful assholes. I have never seen so many young people survive off their parents, relatives and of course, the welfare. Fucking lazy asses, get a job and quit stealing for your dope. I have no good memories of this sorry state. Kettering, Beavercreek, Fairborn, Xenia, & Dayton get a fucking clue of how to treat people. Crack addicts at every corner! I have never seen so many young men not work, but instead say they are homeless to get foodstamps and live off and use whomever they can. I say get a fucking job, they are out there. Oh and Greene County, fuck you!!
Firewalker if I recall, last year, LSU kicked your Buckeyes ass!!! Salute!!!
In response to Tammy. I feel your pain. Kinda sounds like narrow-minded North Carolina too. Someone once told me that North Carolina has the LARGEST number of people on welfare, and it makes plenty of sense. If only looking for a job were easy as 1-2-3. However, as I write this, the economy now is so bad that you are not going to find many opportunities anywhere. Sometimes, I wonder if the ”buckeye” migration has a lot to do with it. Like I said previously, a rather high number of people from Ohio have moved down here too. I don’t know why these assholes down here think it’s ”so great.” One thing that rumored about many North Carolinians is that many of them have never been out of NC, and it makes plenty of sense. These CAROLINA FUCKS (from BOTH of the Carolinas) shouldn’t even be allowed to leave the state. They should all burn and rot in hell (especially those Chapel Hell fucks.)
Raleigh? How can anybody call that miserable-ass, boring, depressing, backwards FUCK of a city ”great” just the same? Then again, anybody who was born and raised in a certain place will think that even though it’s far from true. More like, North Carolina *used* to be a little better. With all the growth it has experienced over the years, little by little it has become uninhabitable. FUCK THE SOUTH (especially the Carolinas, Georgia, and most definitely Texas!)
I agree with you Tammy 100% and especially about Greene county.
Thank God USC beat Ohio State last night. Now maybe the buckeye fans
will stfu about how great they are. Get over yourselves Ohio, there isnt anything great about you.
Why do we care. This is a stupid discussion.
okay, i live in ohio. and its not that great of a state i’ll admit it. But my question is if all of the other states are soooooooooo much better than why have so many people wasted their time on here talking about how shitty it is here?
ps.
1. I’ve been to almost every state, and hawaii
2. NC sucks too, i got stung by a jellyfish there
3. Cedar Point has been voted the best amusement park in the world
4. i live in columbus i always have and i am not the least bit of a hilljack
The world’s best amusement park? Wow, I’m impressed.
Wow, virgin Ohioans are actually defending their pathetic little state. The South has a much better economy and weather, they’re actually many Ohioans actually moving to my rich hometown of Southlake, Texas and trying to steal our girls! Luckily, those gross Buckeyes didn’t try to get their ugly hands on my girl! (My girl’s name is Allison, she’s really pretty =] ) Ohio is very ugly and gross and people shit right on the streets!
It is sometimes an objective person willing to be accepting of new people and cultures that can give you a fresh perspective on a place. After traveling, and relocating to several states due to my job; I was able to get a sense of the pros and cons of Ohio. I lived in Columbus for 3 years and I have noticed several key things about Columbus as well as Ohio traveling throughout it. Economically, there are a lot of displaced workers and hungry people are not always the happiest people. Culturally, it is as diverse from one corner of the state to the next. Accents and ways of life are as diverse from the northern part of Ohio to the southern part. You will meet decent people, but more often you will meet people that are complete scum. It is not limited to the poor; several “substantial” or people that claim to make a decent living are equally close minded. The folks that appear to be making a good living have a sense of entitlement that makes their overall personalities reek. Ohio needs strong charactered, moral people that are willing to treat people decently to take leadership. Corruption in politics, business dealings and everyday life is commonplace in Ohio.
There are decent restaurants and the cost of living is great. That being said, if you are not a native you will find that many folks in Ohio are not the most approachable. There seems to be a real problem with a large collective group of people that relish in poor behavior and find it entertaining to expose everyone around them to it. It felt like being an idiot was idolized by a large collection of people that live there. Sometimes when you live in a place and have not removed yourself from it; it can be difficult to accurately assess a place in relation to others. In fact, you probably can’t.
As any place has its faults and its good points, I can comfortable warn anyone that is not from Ohio that you will find it extremely difficult to adjust to the lifestyle there. In fact, you will be bewildered by how people handle themselves and interact with you. Ohio was probably a great place to live during the heyday of factory work and new inventions. The stagnant overall economy has definitely impacted the people and like a virus it seems that it may have spread to the decent people there as well. Who feels good living in the blight of extreme poverty? and if you are not living in it…seeing it and it forcing it into your life is equally painful… Long story short…if you are not from Ohio…save yourself the aggravation and pain that my family and other families that I know that have relocated there and avoid it. As far as football, Ohio State has a good consistent team. Unfortunately, a good football team does not put food on the table for most of the folks there……Ohio needs to have a major attitude adjustment and make major changes…because everyone knows that that state is broke and damaged….
Truer words have NEVER been spoken:
“I have lived in ohio(9 years), I think i would rather get kicked in the nuts repeatidly on a daily basis than to live in the nations septic tank. The peopple are 2 faced redneck alcohioics that think they are better than eveyone else.”
“HMMMMM, Ohio is the worst state I have ever lived in. I have never met so many useless people in all my life. Want! Want! Want! is all I have seen here. Users, thieves, ungrateful assholes.”
I’m a graduate of The Ohio State University and I will vouch for my school. Whoever put the school there is a god send. Most “Buckeye Fans” never got accepted into that school. They need that school, and it’s not about the funds. These god forsaken idiots from Ohio will never step foot outside of that state to even know how the rest of the world operates.
Look, there are probably more *real* universities accessible to the population in Ohio than in any other state in the country- and most of the people there still choose to be hicks or ghetto trash.
I’m FROM California. I got stuck going to a trashy, drug infested High School in Ohio and these are by MY standards. Still the people are so arrogant and RACIST that it’s nauseating.
The people in Southern Ohio are assholes. RACIST, backstabbing, non-ambitious, melodramatic or otherwise boring people.
Cleveland isn’t much better. The people from Cleveland are average people with a really big complex. It’s that same complex you see in insecure people.
I’m in San Diego, Los Angeles and Sillicon Valley and many times on occasion and I rub shoulders with some beautiful, high profile and wealthy people. Some are arrogant, but some are really high profile, rich people. Unlike the arrogant jokes in the rust belt. There is also so many other things to do here that you’re not stuck in their company.
But most of all, it’s diverse out here!!! God bless diversity. Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Black, White, Mexican, Italian, Hindu-Punjab-Catholic Indians, Buddhist and Muslim Africans, Europeans, Minnesotans, New Yorkers, Peruvian, Brazilian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Russian, Persians, Armenians, Filipino, Hawaiian, Canadians…
The assholes I went to school with IN OHIO couldn’t handle diversity outside of the trophy latino or black (who won football games)… and racism does exist there.
In California, the white collar workers are often black and the cool WHITE kids (west and east coast) can school you on Mexican, Persian, Latin and Asian cultures.
In Ohio though…man the black people have to answer 10 times more than any other white person for doing the same thing. Asians, Latinos and Indians are often part of the cool crowds anywhere else in the world…at least there are Persians in Michigan!!
…but in Ohio, the “pretty” popular (and FAT) cheerleaders don’t associate with people who are not white. Regardless of how much who their parents are, what they earn, etc… They can’t see anything outside of themselves. This is going to be the death of Ohio.
It’s been a few years and I looked up some of their profiles. Their comments were withstanding… “we don’t like him/her because they’re …”. It hasn’t changed.
Which fits my overall description of the Bellweather State-
small CLOSED minds, big egos.
Man You guys should see the ghetto and white trash bitches I have to deal with on a daily basis. I fucking HATE shitinati(cincinasty oh) with every bit of my being. This town is a piss on piece of shit and I am going to fight like hell to get away from this garbage land. I’ve lived in other places and I have NEVER seen these types of discusting trashy ghetto bitches in my life. They need to burn this shit hole down because it isn’t worth the land it’s on. The Cincinnati cops are pigs and have nothing better to do but sit on their bastard worthless asses and write tickets. FUCK CINCINNATI. This town can rot in hell along with all the white ghetto trash in it. oh yeah FUCK OHIO too..
In response to F U Ohio. That sounds exactly like putrid, good-for-nothing, redneck/bigot black/problematic minority/metally unstable-infested North Carolina. The problem with these Carolina fucks is that many of them have never been out of their own god forsaken state. Then, to make matters worse, these Ohio fucks have to pour down here like it’s the ”garden of eden.” I am glad you used California as an example. Amen to that! At least Ohio had better service in stores and better restaurants than this infernal, shithole, state called N(auseating) C(owards.) The fact you can also buy liquor at a Costco in California or get Chicken Shawarma the right way in Detroit and New York (City) (and you can’t in NC b/c of all their inane laws) should tell you something. I hope these North Carolina get some brutal disease, spread it to this entire state of LOW IQ FUCKS (except for some of those out of state people), and die a horrid death as portrayed in some violent movie. For those of you who have had to come to putrid NC and see this mess, I feel sorry for you. This place is a stupid waste of time. NC can take all their inane taxes and shove them up their nauseating butts
One question: Chicken shawarma is illegal? I doubt it.
No. It is not illegal. Just according to the restaurant owner, NC health code prohibits the preparation of Chicken Shawarma the traditional way. I never knew that before, and I only learned it just now. The more I find out about this unfriendly, snooty, shithole – the more I get agitated.
hahah fuck u assholes ohio is so badass AND the first in flight! ther so better then NC that pissed off assholes have to make a fourm to hate on us. so keep hatin! we love haters!
ohhh and matt moore, u are the dumbest un-logical, historicly incorrected bastered i have ever met. u realy need to get your facts straight you retarded tar heel cousin fucker.
i have to agree with mr. fuc# off. lol, i do beleve u need your facts straight first…. now do some reasearch before u open a topic trying to attack ohio people because there better in about everythin compared to tar heel inbreads.
so i search NC sucks and this pops up huh? ha sorry morre but ohio was first in flight. just watched about it last week in school and im from LA.
well looking for asian porn brings me to this pop up? wooo hoooooo go buckeyes!
fuck buckeyes! and ya google pop ups are bad for asain porn.
All the comments from early on February 4th, from “fuckoff” to “mC TaViSh” came from the same IP address. I deleted two of his comments because they were long strings of characters with no spaces that messed up the formatting of the page.
Being a military brat I have been to NC and I presently live in Ohio and as far as I’m concerned both states suck. Of The two,Ohio sucks the worst.Anyone who loves Ohio hasn’t done much traveling.Only a dumbass would like or even love Ohio.
*Ohioans are given some of the best opportunities and chances to succeed at life and they still FAIL. Ohioans are an embarrassment to the country.*
This one didn’t get accepted to Ohio State. The typical illiterate hick from Ohio says,
“u are the dumbest un-logical, historicly incorrected bastered i have ever met. u realy need to get your facts straight you retarded tar heel cousin fucker”
TRANSLATED INTO THE PROPER FORM OF ENGLISH:
You are the dumbest illogical, historically incorrect bastard i have ever met. You really need to get your facts straight you retarded tar heed cousin fucker.
I agree with Skip Davis, being under the illusion that Ohio and other Great Lake states are actually good is as bad as being under the illusion that being a virgin past 18 is a good thing.
Skip Davis and Moneymaster93, both of you couldn’t have said it any better yourself. As far as I am concerned both NC and OH are as bad. Then, to make matter worse, TONS of ppl. from both of those states go back and forth all the time. Every single day I have to see at least one vehicle with Ohio plates in NC, and it’s really nerve racking. I remember when I was last in Cleveland, I did as much as mention NC, and the arrogant fools had to put on this show and babble about how they wanted to move down there just for the sake of doing so. Those are pretty messed up reasons for wanting to move some place IMO.
You should also mention that alot of Ohioans are fat, greasy, ugly virgins that eat fast food everyday and they shit and piss right on the streets (Yes, I am fucking serious!) They’re so ugly and fat that they never lose their virginity to a nice looking girl so they molest children instead! The state with the most child raping pedophiles of all is Ohio! The worst thing I ever did in my life was fucking visiting Cleveland! I wish the city would be torn down.
moneymaster93,
I believe you. The fat, greasy, and ugly stereotype describes these Carolina fucks only too well. With the pissing in the streets (like is seen and smelled in most big cities) is something I have yet to see down here, but it’s nothing compared to the annoyance(s) you have to see/hear/deal with on a daily basis. The smell of piss and shit on the street, believe it or not, is more pleasant than having to deal with nosey fuckers who are constantly up in your business (i.e. most NC fucks) IMO. But, you are right. They are both unpleasant. Like you have any ”nice looking girls” in either one of those cesspools (OH and NC.) Here in NC, the females are mostly a bunch of unattractive, slobby, plastic, overweight, trashy, druggie, have offensive tattoos over their nauseating bodies, etc. You name it. On many other websites, many of these fuckers from up North (and I am originally from up North too) have to write things and obsess over having a ”southern g/f” (the LAST thing I would ever be seen with.) With TONS of child molesters present, North Carolina is not any better. If you were to kill every criminal in NC, you probably would eliminate about 95% of NC’s population. These NC clowns can get offended all they want, but if they would leave thier state more often (something I am glad they don’t do) they would probably realize more. However, since NCians are too fucking selfish, it’s a fucking waste for them. They also think they are the smartest brains in the country but I won’t get into that. NC should cease to exist the worst way possible.
Here’s what a typical Ohioan looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvawclODie4 (I don’t think the ugly virgin in that video is Ohioan, but most Ohioans are pretty damn well like that guy)
I currently live in North Carolina, but previously lived in Columbus, OH. To be quite honest, I think North Carolina should have trash on their state quarter. This would represent all of the trash lying on the sides of the roads and the majority of the people that live here. The Wright brothers knew that if they cam to North Carolina for their test flight, the possibilty of a crash would be fine because the fall would be padded by all of the damn trash. You can’t compare the two states. It’s like comparing a beautiful woman to a dirty anus!
In response to pwwl and moneymaster93:
You both couldn’t have said it any better. Besides, Ohio is the birthplace of aviation. Then again, these CAROLINA FUCKS love taking credit, and bragging about the whole ”first in flight” (written on the license plates of all places) rhetoric. A lot of people from elsewhere come down here, make it big, and then N(auseating) C(owards) LOVES to take credit for it and just take advantage of the person (and the whole Wright Bros. thing is a good example.) If it would not be for the annoying douchebags that LOVE coming/moving to NC (and have never really been anywhere) this state would be nothing (and already is that at heart.) You are so right. There is no comparison between NC and OH or NC and any other state. Better yet, North Carolina should cease to exist and take South Carolina with them.
That person in that one video is the type of shit that lives in and LOVES coming to NC. People in Ohio (NYC, and Massholechusetts) are obsessed with NC. I have been trying to get the fuck out away from these Southern State motherfuckers, but it hasn’t been easy. For those of you who have had to come here (only the ones who hate it), I am sorry you had to be exposed to this annoying pile of rubbish. They hate being called ”trash” yet that’s the impression they give. The only other annoying thing than a stupid North Carolinian, is an NCian PRICK who leaves the state. The LAST thing I want to deal with are all these assholes who like starting all sorts of arguments for no apparent reason. Even a dirty anus is more pleasant to look at (unless it’s putrified) than anything in this time capsule (called NC) still stuck 30+ years in the past (and these wannabe fuckers call themselves ”progressive.”) Makes me sick!
This thread proves one more time the truism – most satisfaction in life comes from feeling superior to other people. Exact reasons for feeling superior are irrelevant.
Common, it’s 21st century, global, corporate capitalism engulfed the planet, uniformity, dullness, mass culture, mass centrally programmed humanoids, mass food, mass entertainment, mass education, mass “high” culture, everyday routine of a wage slave it’s all about the same everywhere CA, NC or OH. You people finding minuscule differences in ocean of compliant uniformity to feel better about themselves are totally ridiculous and pathetic. There are way, way, way more in common between your average resident of NC and OH than not.
What troubles me the most is the fact that many (if not most people, especially young people) have the burning need to be constantly entertained and amused. Looks like some irreversible bran damage was inflicted by mass cult upon masses. If you are so freaking smart, urban, educated and sophisticated – what’s your deal, how in the hell does it show? Being passive consumer of bread and circuses makes you somehow superior to hicks (of the olden times) who for better or worse were creators not consumers of their world and entertainment?
BTW, Ohio has only 3 seasons and winter is not on the list.
Paul:
I agree with you 100%. Then, what is worse, is that it only seems to get worse as we head into the future. Some of these people who like feeling that way do it over things that are nothing to feel superior about (i.e. significant others. That is only human nature and nothing to feel superior about IMO.) Many of these folks think they are high and mighty just b/c of a few college degrees (and ”know everything” such that they know shit.) I mean, that is a step in ”being educated”, but, to me, being educated means a whole lot more than just a bunch of degrees (and some of these people who have degrees struggle as much as those w/o them. You have better chances for better work, but the more or less money you make, the more stressing your life will be.) What you’re saying is happening and has already happened worldwide. I was only giving my perspective on the unpleasantness of both states, and, believe me, California is and can be up there. Everybody down here likes to talk about Money and give someone else a hard time about it. I feel that is nothing to talk about. I do agree that you need money to live but to make a fuss about it to the point you want to inflict pain onto someone else you don’t know is unacceptable to me. In other words, I am SICK TO DEATH of hearing these NC douchebags run their big mouths on the matter (and the transplants that come here are probably the main contributor.) What would make a decent place to live (to me) is not too much congestion, hustle and bustle, too many crowds (but even rural areas are falling victim to that and experiencing rapid urbanization like they are here in NC), friendly neighbors who are not constantly up in your business (another thing that’s becoming scarce), and things of the sort. I just want to live my life peacefully, and NC does not cut it for me. But I have to live in this shithole state basically b/c I have to. Any major metro SHIT area in the world fits that description. I admit to you there are things about big cities I like better (i.e. a diverse selection of just about anything – you name it), but, overall, little by little, I am getting sick of the urban life. It is very stressful, and fits the description of each and every word you just said. Small towns with that urban feel make no sense whatsoever to me. The LAST thing I want to see are all these selfish bastards ruin life as we know it. Then, you have these HIPPIE BASTARDS who are all with this ”we should be green, Man!” and they are contributors to the obnoxious, inconsiderate, jerks that seem to saturate our cities in this day and age. Besides, those pompous ass, metro, fuckers are NOT as ”superior” as they think they are. Another thing you failed to mention is the fact that people in areas as such are also territorial, little, shits out of hell (and they *think* they are good people.) Why our society has gone to hell in that manner is a mystery to me. They even say that those attitudes are very common in people who are very insecure, and I have noticed that big time too. In NC, all the metro SHIT areas are all next to one another so it’s virtually impossible to get away from it, and since NC is one of the fastest growing states, what would one expect. IMO, it’s a shithole. Don’t come down here! They claim they have inexpensive living. They may have that (compared to some other parts of the United States and World) but NC also has ridiculous taxes on just about anything. You also can’t get liquor at Costco here like you can in California. The main reason there is so much conflict (like you said and so much more) between us is b/c of the media and other people constantly put pressure on one another. Education is the key but I won’t get into that.
I have lived in many of the places named here. Including Northern VA and NC. But I currently live in ohio. I liked some of the cities in NC that I saw. Winston Salem was nice. I stayed extensively (for work) in a tiny town called Williamston with a population of around 5,000. Even with such a small number of residents there were crack whores every night knocking at the hotel doors!! I was shocked!!! And all the little filthy towns around there (New Bern, Washington) were suffering from similar problems. I have lived in columbus for a decade and have yet to have a crack whore knock on my door. (Although they are here I am sure)
However, I met many people (in NC) who were very kind to me, and considered me a friend as well.
I prefer south carolina and georgia though.
Also any person who moves from ohio to NC is simply looking for cheap land.
The worst place I have ever been was northern VA. Beautiful scenery peppered with coke-dealing cops and towns named after hanging trees!
Northern VA is nothing but marylands bowel movement.
”Also any person who moves from ohio to NC is simply looking for cheap land.”
-Yep. Sad but true.
”Even with such a small number of residents there were crack whores every night knocking at the hotel doors!! I was shocked!!! And all the little filthy towns around there (New Bern, Washington) were suffering from similar problems.”
-You couldn’t have said it any better yourself. That is North Carolina in a nutshell for you. Fine if there are people out there who don’t mind this, but I do. IMO, it creates an unhealthy environment. Then, what is worse, is 99.9% of all North Carolinians believe that every city in the world is this way (when I have actually found it to be vice versa.) The people of North Carolina, I’m sorry to say they are mostly loudmouth, arrogant, overly proud (probably b/c they are miserable), assholes. I have seen worse (i.e. New Mexico.) I have stayed in hotels here in NC, and the stays have always been somewhat unpleasant (except for my very first time staying in one.) I have never had anyone harass me whilst in my room, but it’s still very unpleasant when these trashy, obnoxious, morons loiter in the parking lot scaring guests that way. Don’t even get me started on the drug problem in NC. Just observing the average person down here, it’s obvious they are on some kind of drug. However, I like what you said about NoVA (i.e. ”nothing but marylands bowel movement.”) Yes. Maryland is a weird place. Then, what is worse, is that tons of Marylanders have to pour down here, and change the culture too. What can I say. NC is a real mess, and everyone here has explained it.
Thanks iabhornc! I Still love MD, NC, and even northern VA in each of their own unique ways. All of my “non-people” experiences were great in northern VA! Fishing and hiking were awesome! The cops seemed to think they were untouchable!
NC has obvious awesome points as well IMO. And honestly I never had one person say anything bad to my face about ohio down there.
Every southern state I have been through has shown me its’ bright side more often than not. And it is through no fault of any “normal” person that the crap comes out of the walls once in a while.
Quite honestly as an Ohioan I could not sit by and hear such narrow views of where I live without spewing fourth a few about where I have visited!!
I have never lived in any place that made me so throat-clenchingly proud that I had to make a big deal about how bad other places were to keep myself from choking on the tears of joy about it.
I like (don’t love) Ohio. I like (don’t love) Columbus. I will not say that I have never had anyone be cold with me here, but the vast majority of people I have come across have been warm and receptive to any greeting I have delivered in any state. (Including mine) If you, for example, walk around turning up your lip at people who are not wearing skinny-pants and guy-liner, or otherwise not fitting into your own shitty sense of what they should be, then I am sure you will be ill-recieved anywhere!
I DO however love my friends and family here, (And in MD, and Northern VA, and NC, and SC, etc.) and would rather whip the piss out of someone who dared to approach THEM in such a negative way than any sports team, or state, or historical figure!
In response to the birthplace of aviation stuff I could care less about license plates.
In summation I would like to say that most of the people (in this topic) are fairly clever, and funny. Some more than others. A few of them, however, are mind numbingly ignorant! I know we all think we are the former, but most of us know the deal.
The timeline this topic covers is vastly impressive!
Love you America!
You are welcome. What can I say. North Carolina sucks (and it has all been mentioned on previous posts!) A lot of people get ”First in Flight” (NC motto) confused with ”Birthplace of Aviation” (OH motto) all the time, and the Wright Bros. were from Ohio. Just try living down here and hearing all these CAROLINA FUCKS run their big mouths about their nauseating state saying the same things on a consistent basis (i.e. we are all nice people.)
Yeah, right! They are nice to you only if you are from here (or you are like them in way – fucking snobs.) But, if not, you are considered an outsider (typical Southern FUCK attitude) and you will not fit in. Try being single. Down here, if you are single, you are fucked. This place is nothing but a bunch of fucking couples hogging everything. Not only that but the people are nosy as fuck down here. I admit it’s nothing like Indiana (with those HOOSIER FUCKS asking you every little detail about yourself) but it’s equally as irritating (like all the COLLEGE BASTARDS that live here.) If you are either: A) single or B) do things all by yourself (or not a college student), they will question your authority, and/or look at you weird. Look at me weird, why? Because I don’t want to be educated in an INCOMPETENT FUCK OF A STATE LIKE THIS ONE WITH IRRITATING TRANSPLANTS FROM HELL? Because I am perfectly capable of getting in a car and driving the whole US all by myself? B/c I am single and want nothing to do with the fucking skanks for PUTRID FEMALES that exist in this bible-thumping, redneck, trailer TRASH, loud, obnoxious, rude-ass, shithole out of hell? Then, when you say that, the people here are just too into themselves or in this bubble, and preach the bullshit they have been fed into their heads. Seriously! One has to be an idiot to think NC is a great place. These CAROLINA FUCKS are just about as irritating as those Texassans. Since when is friendliness harassing someone off the street and mocking them. Since when is friendliness getting harassed by some cowboy FUCK (funny looking Burt Reynolds?) Since when is friendliness being rude to other customers and providing lousy service. Since when is being ”considerate” running stop lights/signs, and cutting people off? It is clear that these TERRITORIAL FUCKS have absolutely NO clue about that. The retarded assholes that reside in NC should all kill themselves (and I hope it happens.) Anybody who were smart enough would not come here. These CAROLINA FUCKS can take their state and shove it up their asses.
Yeah I just came from Raleigh NC this weekend ,and it was NOT all that. It looks like a knock off suburb of DC. Anyways Ohio STILL sucks ass especially shitty ass ghetto Shitinati (Cincinnati) This town should be nuked. I’m tired of seeing the same ghetto and white trash everyday.
In response to ”just done.”
Raleigh, N(auseating) C(owards) is none more than some dull-ass, (getting) overcrowded, elitist FUCK of a town from hell. The people that live in that god forsaken city should all die a brutal death. The part of Fagleigh that I abhor the most is Capital Blvd. The city also has some shitty-ass FUCKING AIRPORT (more like freak central) where all these Carolina-crazed douchebags fly in constantly babbling: ”Carolina [this and that].” Someone should give those fucktards a knuckle sandwich. If you ask me, they should also nuke N(auseating) C(owards.) They can also take their state taxes and shove them up their asses.
*LOL* Very true. Like all state (and country Capitals), the city is not all that. Like anywhere else in this shithole state infested with: redneck, SUV/Truck-driving, relocated, simple-minded MORONS, you couldn’t have said it any better yourself. Yet, like in Texas, the idiot inbreds down here think their state is god. They believe the world evolves around their Carolina butts, and their state alone. Funny that you should mention DC b/c I just got back from there
a large percent of ohio people are FAT ,nosy, snobby, back-stabbin, racist ,inbred ,jerks! and the closer ya get to bigger “cities” (really just over grown cow towns) you can add in pretend to have class (like a single one would know what class is ,if it bit em on the behind!).
want to move to a new city? a nice city? DONT PICK OHIO! ive lived all over the USA ,and can say that im counting the days when i can get out of ohio! GO! (to heck) BUCKS!
Very thought-provoking article. I will return to your blog very soon.
