    um New Jersey. HAVE YOU EVER DRIVEN IN NEW JERSEY? the exit signs are placed wherever they want and missing numbers and/or letters. Do you know how hard it is to get off exist 14 when there is only a 4? and to make it better, you're driving at night>MY GOD i almost got hit by some guy speeding cuz it was the wrong exit. and then they honk everywhere. and please explain to me how a service road is safe when you have to speed out of the parking lot in order to not get into an accident trying to get back on the highway (from the store) b/c there is no ramp.

    aside from that its nice

    Louisiana- the best thing it has going for it is New Orleans and cajun food. The state always ranks among the worst in country, corrupt politicians, and just to give a picture of how of our governor is, he has cut the state budget for higher education so much that public university students staged a protest at the state capital building.

    (Um- other that said Louisiana....you named small amount of snow as a reason why it's bad?! It's Louisiana, dude. Louisiana receiving snow is a miracle.)

    we have the most retarded gun laws you can think of

    we're all stereotyped because of a TV show

    corrupt government

    South Dakota. It makes me forget about North Dakota every time I get quizzed about naming all the states in the US.

  • I would say the two worst states are California and Florida. Both because of overpopulation, budget problems, illegals, bad weather.
