None of those states are as bad as Kansas. I would describe as nothing but that is being too generous !
"Nothing" is better than "lots of awful things."
Seriously. If we're talking "worst place in America," you really need to hit some of the small-to-mid size towns/cities in Eastern Ohio and Central/Southwestern Pennsylvania.
B.R.U.T.A.L.
Eastern Missouri, Virgina, All of New Mexico along the 44 deserve dishonorable mentions
I would consider adding states that contain craphole cities (like Detroit), but luckily that isn't always indicative of the state as a whole.

Yeah cause despite Detroit, Michigan as a whole isn't all that bad. Looking at you Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Kalamazoo and Mackinaw.

Is the Munich shooting is tied to ISIS, aren't they kinda slapping their *** against a beehive? I mean, they have a lot of countries pissed at them.

Swedish news and Sky News saying multiple deaths but not enough info yet Another day, another mass murder courtesy of the runaway firearms industry runaway mental-health-condition ignoring society. FTFY. Guns may be tools to kill people, but people are still the ones who pull the trigger. Banning guns is not the solution, ignorant/willful murderers will find bigger ways of killing people anyway (hi2u OKC/Boston Bombings).

I mean, they got most of EU after them, and they are still going strong. Now, if they make an attack on the US when we have a leader willing to fight them, that might be another thing altogether.
They still have ~6 months to make an attack on the US and get away with it though.

Quote: Gunfire rang out at a shopping mall in the German city of Munich on Friday evening, leaving several people dead and others wounded, CNN affiliate NTV reported.
The shooting, which started at about 6 p.m. local time at the Olympia shopping mall, is over, police spokeswoman Claudia Kvenzel said. Kvenzel had no immediate information about casualties or what led to the shooting.
Lynn Stein, who said she works at the Jack Wolfskin store in the mall, told CNN that the shooter was inside the mall.
"I heard several shots," Stein said. "(I) was just going to buy something while my coworker was still in the shop.
"People started running. I went outside as well; more people running outside. I think I heard more shots. Then it sounded like he went to the parking house next to the mall -- several shots there."
Stein said she then went back into the mall.
"I saw ... somebody lying on the floor, presumably dead, I don't know. Or badly hurt. And there's a woman over them, crying."
Eventually, she said, police "told everyone to clear off the area and go to the other side of the street."
"And we just stayed there for a while until police told us to go further back and further back," she said.

I just thought of a hilarious way WWIII could start. ISIS does some attacks in North Korea because... well, who knows what they're thinking. North Korea retaliates with missiles and hits the wrong target because they suck. Someone declares war in retaliation, China jumps in to defend, boom.
Highly improbable, but amusing in my own head.

Why, feel we've hit our quota for 2016 and, fearing a shortfall, you want these deaths to start counting toward our 2017 total?
People suck.
Save us lizard men. :'(

America is overdue for a civil war that seems more likely. Maybe we can get rid of the south and California once and for all !

With NK technology they might be able to attack South Korea...maybe...

That's a pretty good article that map is referencing if you feel like looking it up. Discusses some finer points about how Quebec/NE/Foundry are all pretty similar and would likely be allied, and how the Peninsula portion of LA would be a bit of a remote territory of Quebec b/c of cultural and traditional ties/mindsets.

Funny how people hate on the state with the 6th strongest economy in the world (5th post Brexit) and strongest in the US. Guess nobody likes a winner.

lol, any specific suggestions on what we should do differently against ISIS? Or are you just channeling your nominee?

It's about making America great again Germany can fend for itself.

Are we talking about California?
I'm not hating on anything, I was just referencing an article discussing redrawing the US based on cultural/political/economic ideologies that has some merit, if no grounds in reality in regard to it ever happening.
