That's the way I see it.

I shouldn't bash NM so harshly because of one ignoramus.
It's among the top 10 most beautiful states IMO.

I think NY goes pretty much unnoticed for how much wild land it has and the fact that most of our state is rural, can't say the same for NJ.

Not my place.

But who's dumb enough to focus on the stereotypes? People living in NM?!

For some strange reason, "illegals" live in Arizona and Texas but even though they're from Mexico (and this is an assumption I'm making) they don't really come to NEW Mexico.

And New jersey doesnt have gangs? And look at jersey before you talk about poverty it is an arm pit to that side of the country.

Uneducated? you must be, cause New Mexico has 2.1 million people. One horse "town", or many towns... haha

At least you don't catch STD's in our waters.

Okay, I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is exactly why I see some Northeast/Midwest posters ragging on New Mexico, because of some of the comments like the one I quoted.

The state of New Mexico is beautiful.

Albuquerque is a beautiful city and one of my most preferred by default for being much like my favorite city of Tucson.

But if you're going to represent it, please at least try to show off some of the finer educational aspects you've acquired.

Anyways, I haven't had the opportunity to post in this thread;

1. New York (only because of Buffalo/Niagara area)
2. New Mexico (only because of Albuquerque)
3. New Jersey (I like Jersey City & Atlantic City)



4. New Hampshire (sorry, I know this might sound dumb, but I honestly have no care for this state at all- I'm sorry if I've offended any of the locals)

No jersey people are ignorant for attacking.

Did you not come right out of the gate attacking NJ?
You were quite rude, so we responded in kind.

New Jersey doesn't have nearly as many gangs as New Mexico-

Poverty exists in every state, NJ just so happens to have some of the lowest rates in the nation- NM has some of the highest.
