MI is SO better then OH!! ^Sarah even agrees...^ xP

Well, _someone_ called it the War Between the States, and so I decided to play a trump card.... :)

Trump failed. Ohio wins, period. :P

Hey, I've been to 49 of the fifty states. Take my word for it. Alaska is the best.

But you are biased because you currently live in Alaska. If I lived in Alaska, I'd probably think it's the best state. In other words, no one wins this discussion unless you can give facts :P

Exactly! So I must've won the discussion, 'CUZ I GAVE FACTS! xP

Like I said, come visit any time!

Nope. It's definitely not my favorite state, though. It's down at the bottom with CA and TX, both places I lived.

Both? sorry.

I will agree that I think Alaska is superior to Ohio. I've spent about 7-8 years there… it ain't that great.

Cause I don't like it. Probably a big reason is that there are so many cities crammed into such a small space.

TRAITOR!!

Good for her.

I have to agree that good friends make a place much better. We only stayed in CA as long as we did because of the wonderful friends there.

But then we moved to AK, and BB started, and now I have several great friends from that! XD

Okay, we'll the OH cities I was in were dirty and stinky and ugly and grey. And so were most of the other cities in the U.S. LA was the worst, though. LA and Sacramento.

According to Lower 48 standards you have a decent amount of country in your state… For example, you're not as bad as IA or RI.

But you've obviously not been to AK. You'd be converted. We have a whole lot more country- 1 sq. mile per capita, and the tallest mountain in North America! Besides, we're the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state in the U.S. And we have polar bears and the most expensive berry in the world. We've also got the best fish in the world. And we grow the biggest cabbages in the world. All very good reasons as to why AK is the best. :)

Location means little, or nothing. The amount of country could sound good to some people, but bad to others. I have to admit, the tallest mountain thing is pretty cool. I don't like berries or cabbages, and I don't like fish too much. How 'bout you go look at Ohio's credentials a few pages back. :P

Ahhhh freaks out cut the quoting!!!! Page will get waaay too long. lol

Ah, you're one of the ones who hates lots of quoting. I was wondering when one of you people would show up. :P

I hate fish, just so you know, and fishing. But the reds are really good.

These berries, lingonberries, only grow here and in Sweden.

I'm sure that if I tried hard enough, I could come up with something as organized as that presentation which makes Ohio look even awesomer. :P And you repeated yourself a lot there, you know. :P

*GUYS!!!!!! THIS IS ABOUT MI VS OH!!!! Not About other states!*

Well, I thought I'd help by defeating both sides... XD

WOOOOOW….FACEDESK Make a new thread for those then….. ;p ;p

For what?

What happened to not quoting so much on your topic? ;)

What happened to not quoting so much on your topic? ;)

And if it comes down to between MI and OH, I would almost say MI is better…. Except for Detroit. That's on the list of my bottom five cities. Right alongside LA, Sacramento, Chicago, and Seattle.

You cannot just say that without justification. :P Why is Ohio at the bottom of your list?!

Cause I don't like it. Probably a big reason is that there are so many cities crammed into such a small space.

"Cause I don't like it." You don't like it. Because you don't like it. Come on. :P "Probably a big reason is that there are so many cities crammed into such a small space." What's wrong with that? Doesn't that make it more awesome? :P

Ha! No. ^I'm scared of cities...^

Then you are bias against any state with lots of cities. Since AK doesn't have a LOT of cities, you must like it…

But you've obviously not been to AK. You'd be converted. We have a whole lot more country- 1 sq. mile per capita, and the tallest mountain in North America! Besides, we're the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state in the U.S. And we have polar bears and the most expensive berry in the world. We've also got the best fish in the world. And we grow the biggest cabbages in the world. All very good reasons as to why AK is the best. :)

According to a survey, you have the worst food :P

*GUYS!!!!!! THIS IS ABOUT MI VS OH!!!! Not About other states!*

Yeah it is. Because if we can prove one of the other states is better than MI or OH, then you might as well move there!

Hast tha had a meal of red salmon- again, I dislike fish- sauerkraut- homemade by me- and homegrown potatoes? Best food in the world. Well, moose is better than the fish, and so is caribou.

And it happens to be hunter's or birder's paradise.

LIKE SOUTHERN CA!!!!!!! During winter you can drive an hour and get to the snow, and 30min to the beach.
Plus…the lowest the temperature goes is like 55 degrees…..I think that's good

You cannot defeat facts with opinions. Different strokes for different folks shrugs.
