Well I don't know what part of Nebraska you're moving to but even the worst spots I can think of aren't even that bad. Move to Omaha and you'll be fine. Also not everyone likes the huskers. I can't stand them so you won't be alone.

Cafe du monde I've got another one for you, they were the "Bugeaters" when they first formed a football team. Nebraskans will be so impressed with your knowledge of this.

Poleeez!! Ever heard of California and Florida. Honestly, I've never heard a poor remark towards Nebraska. Haha, you haven't seen real criticism.

Most Nebraskans think easterners like me have horns and are the root of all evil. I have even been told by some "you're ok for an easterner"! The holier than thou attitude really annoys me. BTW, I am from the land of Ben Franklin. Too bad you guys can't give Pittsburgh a little recognition on your map.

Everywhere you go, people think they are holier and better than you... It's human nature, it's just here people at least attempt to be friendlier than most other places.. When you go from a place where people attempt to be friendly to the east where you are not used to how people live out there, people seem pretty rude... I think people in vegas are very rude, but I lived there for a year and became accustomed to how they are out there and it wasn't so bad, then I moved back and everyone seemed friendlier than before... The point is that human nature labels, depicts, opinionates and draws biased conclusions based off of emotions without research. I don't believe that to be an evil, just an annoying part of who we are...

That is exactly what I mean about holier than thou. ". . . here people at least attemp to be friendlier than most places". Get on the Pittsburgh forums and you read about how friendly the people are especially compared with (insert city here). And there is, at least among the Nebraskans I have met, an attitude that they are somehow better. The one who said I was OK for an easterner was my husband, and when I said I thought that was a back-handed compliment, he couldn't understand what I meant! I said, "what about the rest of my family and everyone I grew up with? You are dissing them by that statement". BTW, he has a PhD.

pitt nurse you took a part of a whole sentence let alone paragraph to make me look like I was being rude, and I think that is bull... People like you are the worst, you take bits and pieces of things to create a drama for display to make a certain individual or group look bad... Why don't you go to your Pittsburgh forum, or have you not had enough of us?

Just who is being rude here? I believe you just called me "the worst". You say the holier than thou attitude is human nature, then say that ". . . here people at least attemp to be friendlier than most places". As if Nebraska were some exception to human nature. Everyone has their biases. The title of the thread is "How Nebraska sees the rest of the Country". One of the rules of this forum is "no personal attacks". BTW, I do not live in Pittsburgh.

Well you did say that we don't put Pittsburgh on the map.... No biggie, I just stated that in Nebraska we attempt more to be friendly, I can confirm this not just as a Nebraskan, but someone who has lived in several places and from other people from different states. Pittnurse when I stated that, it wasn't that I think I'm a better person that other people, I stated that everywhere people are the same, that we just try to be friendlier... I never said that we are better than you or anything to that matter... And then you took a part of a sentence which was part of a paragraph which took all of it to describe a single event, and tried to show everyone that I was preaching that we are better people than the rest of the country, which is not the case... I gave you a label, just as you gave us "Nebraskan's" a label, and that was that you take a piece of a picture and tried to show it to other people as the example that I was tried to portray... which is very deceptive and just plain wrong, Pittnurse it is not very nice to come to a Nebraska board to attack a state because we do not live to your liking, if you don't like us, you do not have to be a part of it, and I understand that not everyone believes in the same thing and therefore there will always be conflicts of perception and opionion, my opionion of the other places I've been too was that they were not as friendly on the outside which is different than here, but I never attacked them for that, because that is how they live in their region. Your attack on the people of Nebraska is actually an example of what you were attacking us about "the holier than thou" approach. You are doing it to us in the posts you have made... Once again that is human nature and not wrong as everyone grows differently and in their lifetime they come across different events leading them to different perceptions and not understanding other peoples, which in turn makes them think they are better than the other people... That is the way it is, it is life, it is personality, it is human nature, and it is something you obviously still need to get over as there is so much more in life to focus on that something as trivial and silly as that...
