Why you should never live in Alabama.

Easy, Nick Saban.

Because it’s full of racist rednecks the

Nah, the racists are in California and New York. They hate half the country, Trump voters and Whites.

The voted out arguably the smartest and hardest working senator in the US Senate in Doug Jones and replaced him with (get this) Tommy Freaking Tubberville. There’s really just no way to account for that level of general stupidity.

Football rules in Alabama, y’all….

Why is there a need to trash Alabama? Can’t you just tell the guy you deleted a hateful thread about San Francisco because this is a running message board?

Nope sorry, Alabama sucks

Alabama may be somewhat backwards, but at least the people know that a street or sidewalk is not a toilet, unlike California.

Good one Wejo. These "[State] Sucks!" threads are childish. Having one official thread per week Pro and Con might be fun and drumroll ............. EDUCATIONAL.

Perhaps everyone who has actually lived in the State should state their qualification?

I got your back wejo. It’s beyond comprehension to me how someone could feel happy or fulfilled living most of their life in alabama. Even if you’re a simple person who’s goal in life is just to rasie kids then living in alabama is a major diservice to your kids developmentally (and in most other aspects). Why wouldn’t you at least move to somewhere like rural new jersey or colorado where the average public school is better than the top 10% of schools in alabama?

And the mosquitoes. The humidity.

And don’t try to tell me the cities or nature are nice. Birmingham is not nice. Huntsville is not up and coming. The gulf towns are not that nice.

My tone isn’t meant to be mean or condescending. I have a few close friends from alabama who are amazing but left forever as soon as they could. There’s no will but we should probably have government programs to incentivize people to move away of the worst parts of the country (like much of alabama). I think a lot of people who stubbornly try to “save their small towns” only do so because if they don’t they obviously and unfortunately will lose quite a bit of money if they own their home and there’s other costs with uprooting. But if we gave people some financial support for migrating in the short term, long term the country would save money from having to perpetually subsidize infrastructure in many areas.

Well at least she isn't from West Virginia....I regularly have to tell Australians that West Virginia and Virginia are two different states.

Too hot & humid for proper distance training for much of the year.

Anything in the South is second class.

They're not in the game and know it.

I would only care to visit landmarks like Savannah, NO, some parts of Florida, etc.

Why would you want to visit Savannah, lol?

Ignorant fool, it's awful there.

Every discussion of the south diverts into this nonsense! There's no "hot and humid."

Granted on a hot day it'll probably be humid at night, if it doesn't get dumped in storms in late afternoon. Look here at the forecast for Birmingham tomorrow, it will get to 89 (almost hot) and when that happens the RH will be 54%. If it got into the 90s it would be less. By early morning the RH will by 87% when the temperature is 62.

So it's hot OR humid. Pick your poison, but only a wuss can't run in 90 degree weather.
