XD;; I'm from New York aka Daily Commute, and I can totally see that. NYC is so jam packed, it's hard to travel, and then out in the suburbs, everything is SO far apart, it takes forever to get where you need to go. :|
Right now I live in North Carolina though, and "Teacher Salary" is a pretty accurate name. Teachers in NC get paid so little, it's terrible. :( My bf's dad works in teaching, and I hear the whole, "teaching in north carolina is a black hole." speech a few times. :sweat:
Do you agree with your state's name? xD;
I don't mean this to offend anyone, think of it as satire. :sweat:
But if you do disagree with your state name, perhaps suggest another one, or describe why you think it's not accurate. :3

Oh god, yes. Wisconsin = binge drinking. We're a bunch of alcoholics, definitely. Both my parents are alcoholics, as well as my stepbrothers, and even I drink a lot. I haven't for awhile though, which is definitely good.
I heard somewhere that Wisconsin also has the highest count of serial killers? Could totally be false, as I haven't researched, but in passing I think I heard it mentioned. Could be true, though. Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer...
we're a bunch of psychos >.> aren't most horror movies based somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Yea, that's us.

Mine's "daily commute" too :P
I just don't understand why the chart makes it sound like porn usage, being nerdy, and abortions are necessarily bad things up there with suicide and arson. Ah, oh well.

I'm from Alaska, and suicide fits. It's most likely because we don't get enough sunlight (vitamin D) up here, especially during winter, which often makes people sick and depressed. I'd say drugs or Marijuana would also be excellent labels for this state. :P Everyone and their mothers are on drugs here, it seems.

I'm from Wisconsin, (though I live in Nevada now). But both of my parents drink. My mom drinks nearly all the time, and my dad does once in awhile o.O
Though also I didn't know that Nevada had the most crime. Though I suppose it's understandable when you look at Las Vegas. At least Northern Nevada isn't that bad >:O But there has been quite a bit of crime up here in the northern part of the state lately.
Edit: Also I should point out that we have the highest unemployment now. So I suppose that title doesn't go to Michigan right now =_='

I think Michigan pretty consistently has a higher unemployment than most other states though, yeah it's a little lower now, but, once things pick back up I think michigan will drop back down.

"Oldest"? Is that supposed to mean that there are a lot of old people? > __> Not sure I get why some of these are considered negatives, really... Anyway, I haven't been living here long enough to really know what fits, but I come from North Carolina and the teacher salary thing is definitely fitting.

I live in South Carolina and I agree with "Most mobile homes." We have a ton of trailer parks. >.<
I used to live in Delaware, but at the time I was too young to pay attention to things like abortion rates. I have no idea how accurate that is.

Colorado is actually a weed state. Coke is old news. Weed is pretty much legal here, so that's what all the druggies use. Easier to get I guess. Coke was big in like the eighties, and early nineties. ...I hate drugs in general though, so I kinda hate what my state got there. XD

I'm from North Carolina as well, so I agree completely.
But I'm from Connecticut and I don't really agree with the breast cancer. I know many people from there and not one of them, or someone in their family, has breast cancer. But I could be wrong. Who knows~
And yeah, teachers in NC are very underpaid. And they don't even get any supplies for their classrooms either, so they have to spend more of their money just to keep a classroom functional. It sucked. :|
And what sucks more is that I want to be a teacher, but for college and I have to start as a high school teacher. 8D;;;

Hehe, that's pretty funny. xD I don't agree with my state's (Colorado's) label, though. I haven't really heard much about cocaine use on the news.

I've heard it's true, yes. But I would say that we have a higher statistic of rape and violent murders more than anything. It's a terrible thing to boast, but we get all the psychos from the rest of the country that come up to work and then kill their family and leave again.

Yeah, both states aren't doing too good. Or should I say, the entire country isn't.

Makes me want to move to Ohio though >3>
