If I was senile and at the peak of alzheimer's I'd pick SC.

Not that i hate the state, because it is beautiful, it's just i wouldn't move to live in most states; There's only few states i would move and live in without a problem.

You're the only one lol'ing at your tiresome comments about the South. Does it ever occur to you that a large group of people feel the same way about where you live and have the good grace to keep their mouths shut about it?

Both are the same: old south, boring, nothing compared to Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia and Tennessee from what I've seen....

Which state has more to offer?

Alabama or SC? Would I rather have another root canal or eye surgery again?

That's what I don't understand. She comes in on threads that don't concern her and bashes someplace then she gets mad when you call her out on it.

I've never seen a southerner on here go on another thread that didn't concern them and bash for no reason. But I see it from these northerners all the time.

As for the thread itself I would take South Carolina.

SC because of the location...

for me this is a lesser of two evils pick though, I would be slightly less miserable in SC... neither one of these states has a good big city imo... Can I pick Atlanta instead? It is smack in the middle. :/
