Hopefully this hasn't been done before...I tried doing a search but "comes to mind" brings up so many topics. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a specific state?

Here's the list:

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon

I always found the Utah Jazz team name kind of ironic. I think NOLA should get a NBA team called the LDS

Indeed there are many good people in Georgia, sans a few judgemental ones here on C-D that make ignorant statements about places they no little to nothing about. There is nothing wholesome about biggotry. It's a good thing I know better not to give Georgians (good people mostly, like most Americans) a bad name when I read vile statements like yours.

Your hateful worldview and biggotry denotes what true degeneracy is. How sad. I feel sorry for you.
