My favorite sound bite was:

How RI is so hard to beat what can I do with architecture exactly? Stare at it? No actually I'll just go hump it. No better yet how about I just blow it up!
Gotta love these people.

No, I just don't care about Kansas, and neither do most Americans. Which is why since you have never been to New England you come here smacktalking and end up on a self defeating tyrade. Can't blame New England for that, you just don't know that much. When did RI become a relevant state? Well in 1790 actually, one of the original 13 colonies and 71 years before Kansas. I've been to Missouri and I like St. Louis, it's a very interesting city. Fortunately I was in the company of an intellegent and well travelled person who knew what she was talking about. And I'm very happy that we are not on your radar, so don't come in here thinking that you can knock us without losing. You even admited in your own words your self, "I have no idea", so we'll leave it at that.

It's pretty funny that you're somehow trying to make Kansas sound like anything more than corn. Hell even the main part of Kansas City is in Mizzou. Btw, what's the point of trying to put down Rhode Island? It's a far superior state to Kansas.

Also, lol @ "there's no college football teams"...I'm not sure if they've got them out there yet, but there are machines back East which show moving pictures. It's amazing, I know...but just trust me: they exist. You're even able to watch college football on them. Also, are you trying to make it sound like the college football in Kansas is even marginally relevant? KU had one very good year and that's it...unfortunately for KU football, Mangino abused a player by trying to eat him and now he's gone.

And of course there's this tragedy:
30 Years Of Man's Life Disappear In Mysterious 'Kansas Rectangle' | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

P.S. Gotta love the "at least in Kansas we're cool" call...
I like football minus the injuries, and I'd like to see a game every now, and then okay? I am a Tiger fan, it's kind of hard to see a Mizzou game in Road Iland. Oops sorry a typo. Seriously Rhode Island is superior? Well i wouldn't know I've never been, and never will? I was born in Kansas...I had NO control over that. Plus Kansas has more than corn fields quite obviously, we have heart and pride something that can't be measure like architecture....

I was going to go with Hartford, but Providence seems to fit the bill more. I give them the edge for having their act together Downtown.

Hartford seems to try, but somehow always just falls short in the vibrancy department.

Yea Providence definitely seems to be a more vibrant city, but I think you'd have to give the importance edge to Hartford. Are people voting on which city they like or which city they think is the second most important?

What is this heart and pride you speak of? It must not exist outside of Kansas.

So instead of your self defeating tyrade here, why don't you open a KS vs RI thread and see what eveyone else thinks?

*Sigh* I don't feel the need to boast about Kansas, because we are our own nation. No region, no rules, just wheat and hoopin on foos. Ya dig?

OK then, ya know there is something that I appreciate about every state, regardless of size. And both KS and RI have their merrits. So are you done smack talking RI?

I've been through Kansas a few times, and spent a day in Dodge City; the landscape is very impressive if you travel through central-west Kansas during the wheat harvest--the golden sheen of grain goes on for 300 miles--but during the rest of the year, it's very underwhelming.
