Georgia hate thread

[MysticSang'ha]

Northern Georgia around the mountains is quite nice. Once you hit Atlanta, the traffic is a stark reminder that driving the next several hours before hitting Florida is miserable.

I used to drive at night and stop off at the numerous Waffle Houses for pecan waffles and a mega-sized to go styrofoam cup of grits with my extra large cup of horrible horrible coffee.

One thing I always enjoyed was right around the state line of Georgia and Florida. You suddenly shed your jacket/coat...and the strip club billboards were always hilarious.

Seems silly to condemn a whole state.

No, it's silly not to. This isn't Michigan or the ladder three, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey.

Reforming previous statement, it was deleted for containing already censored profanity.

God bless America, folks. We're doing it right.

I believed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It doesn't mean anything if you can't afford it in court.

It's as simple as corrupt economics this judicial system.

But then bureaucrats will hearken on them when they need to on occasion.

I lived in Columbus, GA for about ten years. Georgia - like any other state - has it's good and bad points. Overall, it's nice enough but I like many other states better. I didn't consider it hell on earth though, and the people were really friendly.

Aye, ain't no state perfect.
I've lived in a few different ones.
Each has its charms, but there are always downsides....for which they always claim I'm partially at fault.

Welcome back!

Some of Georgia is kind of pretty, I think... And The Walking Dead is filmed there, so I got pretty ****ing excited over that. But at least you don't live in Illinois. In Illinois there are corn fields almost everywhere, and in places where there aren't corn fields, there are soybean fields. We have Chicago, which is what most people think of when they think of Illinois, but most of us don't actually live there or anywhere near there. I'd have to drive about four hours to get to Chicago. We do have a lot of things centered around Abraham Lincoln though, since he lived here once. So exciting to see Abraham Lincoln themed parks, Abraham Lincoln related historical sites, and "Land of Lincoln" written all over everything.

Surely it's not coincidence that this thread was started on April 1st?

I spent a vacation in the mountains of Georgia earlier this year. I'd have to say that it was one of the best I've had in recent memory.

I've drove through a few times. Once was through Atlanta the day of the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. I've never actually stayed in Georgia though.

Had to live in Macon for about a year. Nothing to brag about.
