So in other words, this is simply a popularity contest for you?

As far as economy goes, subtract the "artificial" Federal infusion into Maryland and I can guarantee you it would be a totally different story.

No thanks, we've been down that road too many times before. And I can assure you that Georgia would probably lose the poll, for reasons that will become obvious to you when you've been here a little longer.....

I don't live in Georgia, I live in Japan hence the location.......


Most people agreed MD was better? Not from what I'm reading and Maryland isn't in the same tier sorry!!!!


Maryland is never included in the discussion as one of the ten most powerful states....but Georgia is a regular there but I'm done debating with you!!

NEXT....

Maryland most definitely offers more cultural ammenities and cultural variety than Georgia. Everywhere I went in Georgia (outside of ATL), all I saw was sh&t dedicated to the Confederates who fought in the Civil War. VA is like that too. Get over that sh&t, you lost. Savannah and Augusta are beautiful spots but each remind me of the Jim Crow era. Maybe that's my own bias. I don't think Georgia is as socially progressive as Maryland. Maryland also has Andrews Air Force Base which is probably the most important AFB in the world. It's home to Air Force One. A lil crop duster the prez rides on every now and then.
This might be the most ignorant comment ever. You are aware that Georgia is filled with transplants from all over the world. Also, Georgia is home to major military installations like this little ol place called FORT BENNING!!

It's not popularity contest where did you get that from?Usually better places to live are more popular too is there something wrong with that?I mean if given the choice do you think more people would relocate to San Diego Ca or Willacoochee,Ga?San Diego might be more popular,but also has better economy,schools,location,transportation etc.And if you wanna talk about "artificial" what do you think are MD's borders with DC?Is a street a real border?Walk down the street and you are in DC,walk back up and you are in Md,if not for the street signs,i'd never know i crossed the "border".DC was designated as separate district for administrative purposes.What remains as fact in history is that MARYLAND WAS CHOSEN THE SITE FOR THE NATION'S CAPITAL,NOT GEORGIA OR ANY OTHER STATE FOR THAT MATTER.There were reasons for that and will never know what will Maryland's fate will be if history is different...Why take out DC?If Atlanta was separate district from Georgia,are you gonna tell me you won't include Atlanta when comparing?What about NYC,Chicago or Philly?If these cities were their own districts you won't include them when comparing their states?Can you talk about Illinois without Chicago or Pa without Philly?

My comments are on point. The U.S. Naval Academy is very prestigious. Andrews Air Force Base houses Air Force One. If a crisis happens, who the f8ck cares about Ft. Benning? Maryland might have dated Jim Crow but Georgia slept with him. You people have really short memories. Do you not remember the whole Confederate flag fiasco?

This would never even be an issue in Maryland. These redneck attitudes are the reason why I think Georgia is years behind Maryland from a social and cultural standpoint.

Maryland County suffering rampant racism, says NAACP/ACLU report on The Louisiana Weekly (http://www.louisianaweekly.com/news.php?viewStory=1432 - broken link)


SO explain this story that made news in Louisiana about Maryland?
