US States Which No Urbanite Has Visited?

[Meltingpot]

I lived in California in the mid-eighties for a year, when I was 10, and we had regular tests on this. I think the highest I ever got was 11. I also refused to 'pledge allegiance to the flag' after a couple of weeks.

Most of them are cunts, ime, but the nice ones are lovely if you can find them.

Are you actually allowed to do that? I was under the impresssion that it was pretty much compulsory in American schools.

Most of who? Americans? Don't be stupid.

 

[Gromit]

I've done 39 in total, I picked the ones I haven't been to for the poll.

By the way, it is amazing how many people believe there are 52 states. I've even met some Americans who believe it.

I've done the other 39 that you haven't done so that's all 76 states covered.

As a 10 year old English boy in 1986 I was allowed, yes.

It was my experience of living there. I'm glad that you don't agree, as that means you're having a much better time than I did.

 

[boohoo]

Rubbish opinion onket...

1 year, at 10 in a small part of America and you write them all off generally as cunts is a bit rubbish...

 

[Onket]

Sad but true.

 

[boohoo]

Sad but true.

I would more put American's down as odd rather than cunts but that's just cos I've been bought up English and not an American. I'm sure they think we are perculiar. It's the Scottish, irish and Welsh that don't like the English!

Anyway, as my US ancestors go right back to the Pilgrim fathers, it's quite likely that I share a gene pool with a lot of America.

Maybe I should have said 'Most of them were cunts, but the nice ones were lovely' then, to be specific.

I guess I see what you mean, but it's just daft to generalize about any nation--especially a nation of immigrants. And as an American myself I feel obliged to jump to the defence of my compatriots.

I hear Delaware has little to recommend it.

 

[Miss Caphat]

Come on Wyoming, someone has to have been there!

 

[toblerone3]

Wyoming. No one has been to Wyoming.

 

[Miss Caphat]

it looks freakin beautiful.
Fuck it, I'll go myself if I have to

i have, but the poll isn't multiple choice

 

[Miss Caphat]

i have, but the poll isn't multiple choice

well, how was it?

 

[toggle]

a bloody long time ago.

 

[Miss Caphat]

a bloody long time ago.

was it as pretty as it looks though?

 

[toggle]

it was towards the end of an exceedingly long road trip and i was about 8. i know i've been there but fucked if i can remember much more

 

[twistedAM]

well, how was it?

It's on the way north to Montana.
Yellowstone is worth seeing though but the towns are all shit. Less than half a million live in the entire state.

sounds good to me.

You might think there are none. You might be surprised.

I've been to N and S Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, Utah and Nebraska off that list.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Idaho.

Why would anyone want to go there? Apart from having the first town on the planet to be lit with nuclear power (and now serious amounts of plutonium in the water system), it's a nothing state. Doesn't even produce that many potatoes.

It's a good place to go if you're a white supremacist.

Also, there are some interesting places for non racists. Craters of the Moon park is great: caves inside a lava flow. I got a good coffee mug at Boise, in one of those humongous truck gas and rest stops. At Pocatello, I ran for the first time on one of those tracks made out of chipped rubber, at the University of Idaho.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Wyoming. No one has been to Wyoming.

I love Wyoming. Aside from Yellowstone Park, there's tons of diversity there geographically speaking, from semi-desert, to mountains, forests etc. Cody Wyoming, we saw the real deal Wild West-type show. Thermopylae was cool if you're into arid, which I am.

well, what are you waiting for? tick the box and finalize the poll!

It's close to Philadelphia.

Good to see ya, JC3.

And yourself.
