As far as I can remember, I’ve never cared much for Pennsylvania, be it in a positive or negative way. It’s the home of some snakebitten sports teams, provided the backdrop for most of the Rocky series, and birthed the cheese steak; beyond that, Pennsylvania seemed to be a middle-of-the-pack, don’t-rock-the-boat state – basically the self-content straight-B student of the Union.
But within the past few months, I’ve learned many less-than-flattering facts about the Keystone State. The sheer number of stupid, sad things about this particular state is almost shocking. Appalling. Divinely uninspired even.
REASONS WHY PENNSYLVANIA SUCKS (part 1):
1. County Names
A) Washington County, Wyoming County, Delaware County, Indiana County, and [New] York County (circled in RED)
Don’t believe me? Check out the map.
Seriously, Pennsylvania? 4 1/2 of your counties share their name with other states? LAME. Everyone knows that states take precedence over counties when names overlap. Municipalities know this. Townships and boroughs know this. Even my immigrant parents know this.
B) Lycoming County (circled in BLACK)
Just because you replace the “W” in “Wyoming” with “Lyc” doesn’t mean that no one is going to notice your complete lack of creativity. And it’s only two counties over! If you’re going to pull a shenanigan like this, at least make sure there are at least four states separating Wyoming from Lycoming. That’s right – at least four.
C) Carbon County (circled in MAGENTA)
Yeah, I get it. Lots of coal. Carbon County. It makes sense, but in a way, it makes too much sense. As inane a name as it is, I’ll consider this a light infraction because three other states have a Carbon County (granted the other three states are Utah, Wyoming, and Montana).
D) Centre County (circled in BLUE)
Really thinking outside the box here, Pennsylvania. So this is where Penn St. is located. Can’t you commission its students to find one person interesting enough to name the county after? I’d fully support JoePa County.
Also, what was the rationale for not taking the name of Middle County? Too sexy?
E) Lebanon County (circled in GREEN)
From a strictly geographic standpoint, this would make Lancaster County Israel. Lancaster County was the site of the Christiana Incident of 1851, an attempt of a slaveowner to re-enslave four slaves who had escaped. Obviously Lebanon County took their name in order to indirectly correlate Lancaster County and its slavery-driven fiasco to the Israeli conflict.
Sounds pretty anti-zionist to me. Not cool, Pennsylvania. (okay, this was silly, but this entry isn’t tagged as “haphazard logic” for nothing).
2. The Amish
The Number One reason the United States of America is losing Operation Iraqi Freedom? You got it – the Amish. Had the Amish pulled their weight in war efforts, we’d have been out of the Middle East in March of ’06.
3. Florence Foster Jenkins
Consider her the William Hung of the first half of the 20th century. Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, her infamy has had a puzzling resiliency that’s spurred three plays about the tragecomedy that was her professional career. Warning: the following clip is NSFL(ife). But check it out anyway – this reason alone might be sufficient to prove the suckfest that is Pennsylvania.
4. Hershey’s / Hershey, Pennsylvania
For all the talk and concern about the obesity epidemic, both the town and company of Hershey seem to be making a pretty penny off the cocoa-based killer. Sure, Big Tobacco gets a bad rap for causing the deaths of millions of smokers, but why does Big Chocolate get off so easy?
[Edit: So it looks as if Hershey’s isn’t doing too hot.]
5. Chase Deer, Hit Deer, Kill Deer, Eat Deer
From MSNBC, courtesy of WGAL-TV:
LANCASTER, Pa. – A deer led police on a chase in Lancaster this morning. Police said an injured deer showed up at Shaub’s Shoe Store on the first block of North Queen Street around 6 a.m. Several cars had already hit the deer, so officers shot it. But it got up and ran to the King Street Parking Garage where it proceeded to run up to the third story.
Once there, the deer jumped from the third level and landed in the Lancaster Convention Center site, narrowly missing a construction worker. The deer died on impact.
A construction worker and foreman told News 8 that some of the workers took the deer and put in in a cooler. The workers said they plan to eat it.
Police said it’s the second incident involving a deer in the last week. On Thursday at noon, a deer ran into a cruiser at King and Prince streets. It dented the car in several places. That deer was also hit by cars and the officer had to shoot it.
Only in Pennsylvania.
And so there they are, the first five reasons why Pennsylvania sucks. There are, of course, a lot of reasons that support the sentiment that Pennsylvania indeed does not suck (read: Boyz II Men and the hilarity that is Billy King), which I’m okay with; I’m just not focusing on them.
I think maybe they called it “York” county in order to try to fool people into thinking they snuck in there before New York. Sly bastards.
This is totally stupid. Who writes a website about this!!! I am doing a state report on Pennsylvania and it is a lot more intresting than this writer thinks. Thumbs Down! 😦
I’ll never like this STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID website! Thanks a lot, stupid!!! 😛
Ikr! this is SO stupid i am offended i live in pennsylvania! its great!
Hey, let me ask you geniuses something…you know what was good that came out of Pennsylvania? Gee…I dunno, maybe the Constitution of the United States of America or the Declaration of Independence – which, I might add, were based upon the frame of government of Pennsylvania (its constitution before “the” constitution) established when PA was a colony. Not to mention the fact that Pennsylvania has more colleges in it than any other state in the Union. Oh, while we’re at it…there’s also the coal that fueled the industrial revolution in the United States, kept the country heated during all of its great wars, and allowed the big steel companies to make all of the great industrial marvels of the past century. So…before you start slagging on PA, get your facts straight.
The Constitution,which is slowly going downhill like PA and the rest of the country…rest on the one thing that came out of here 200 years ago. They may have the most colleges,doesn’t mean everyone graduates or even learns anything. How many geniuses from PA can you name?…Coal which has poisoned the workers and sinkholes statewide in which houses are built on and are falling into…anything else?
Pa will always be a place for old folks to die and that’s all. Pa is a fucking shit hole for illegals and cops to pretend they are god. I’d rather live in Iraq! All you people that like the cold and like the rain u are all fucking retarded! Get a life pa is nothing but imbred Amish fucks that get off paying nothing. FUCK LANCASTER PA AND ALL THAT LOVE IT SO MUCH! Your mentally retarded!
Yeah, and don’t forget that the amazing Pop-Punk band, The Dead Milkmen hails from Philadelphia, and Erie, PA has the absolute best hot do brand in the world, Smith’s. And Hershey’s Chocolate is something I’d put on a list of reasons why Pennsylvania is great. However, I think this article was supposed to be humorous.
Thank you Jimmy show this stupid man what would happen witout Pennsylvania!
I agree that Pennsylvania sucks even though good things came out of it like the last person wrote. But the reasons you put for as to why it sucks are lame. For example, at the beginning you mentioned the county names, and they are stupid but hardly a reason why PA sucks. A good example might be how the state is making it increasingly difficult to survive by making nonsense laws, or how it is one of the highest taxing states in the union yet somehow is one of the poorest states. It may have been the state where the constitution and the declaration of independence came from, but Pennsylvania was probably a better place back then. I can almost guarantee that nothing that will benefit America or man-kind will come out of Pennsylvania again. Oh and while we’re at it, we could have gotten coal from west virginia, and I believe we did get it from there too. PA is not the only state that had/has it. I know I sort of jumped around on subjects here so just to make it clear, I agree that PA sucks at least these days because I was not around when it first became a colony. I have other reasons why PA sucks but don’t have time to list them all. Basically get Rid of the PA state government and you might have a state worth visiting or living in.
Anthracite coal comes from PA, and is scarce everywhere else in the Country. Yes, that includes WV.
Otherwise, I agree completely.
🙂
(Also, on why the names “York” and “Lancaster,” look up “War of the Roses” and that’s where we get it.
–Frustrated in PA. (Notice we never say, “Pennsylvania?”
It’s always…”Pee Aaay….”)
Shut up Shana your like all the rest of these losers
ANd where are you from “Mike”?
im not really sure what mike and jimmy are talking about above, but this is for sure: anyone who so vehimently defends a state by stating historical “facts” detailing his state’s numerous roles in American history, including:
“Oh, while we’re at it…there’s also the coal that fueled the industrial revolution in the United States, kept the country heated during all of its great wars, and allowed the big steel companies to make all of the great industrial marvels of the past century.”
when one of the reasons given for his state sucking is: “florence foster jenkins”, obviously takes himself a little bit too seriously. Congratulations, you’ve made us all appreciate the great state of pennsylvania’s contributions to our country’s great heritage — but natural resources, no matter how essential they are/were to our country’s legacy are convincingly outweighed by the fact that “hershey’s kisses” has become synonymous with “poopy stains”.
And its not only that. Jimmy goes on to argue that our fearless writer has omitted the most important thing about making pennsylvania not suck: the constitution. you know, with something that significant, i also can’t believe that the blogger forgot to mention it as one of the reasons why pennsylvania doesn’t suck (even though that isn’t the subject of this post.):
“Gee…I dunno, maybe the Constitution of the United States of America or the Declaration of Independence – which, I might add, were based upon the frame of government of Pennsylvania (its constitution before “the” constitution) established when PA was a colony.”
Gee…I dunno, maybe I should brush up on my pre-constitution pennsylvania colony law before making my final decision as to whether or not pennsylvania sucks. so PA had the OG constitution. fabulous. thats kinda like arguing that texas doesn’t suck because george bush and george w. bush are both presidents who are from there. i think we all know that that line of reasoning makes you a douchebag. so let’s all take a step back before someone’s feelings get hurt.
I might have to ask where the fuck you come from in beating up Pa. I agree that we have the most contaminated and diseased state government of gypseys, tramps, theives, and polititions in the union. I blame the voters in Pa for this issue, but in reality it comes from Pa’s welfare program that the polititions cater to that creates the 50% welfare to 50% worker system that gets the vermon elected by buying votes with give away programs. Our roads suck. We have two major communist cities run by thieves that elect our polititions, Philly and Pittsburgh. We are rust belt people that won two world wars with the sweat of the people at the expense of our natural recources. The minotity of Pa citizens are hard working family people that just want to live and pay fewer taxes. We would like to sent our welfare population to what ever fucking socialist state you live in and create a society of hard working, beer drinking, working people with a common cause, liberty from the thieves and faggots like you. In the 1800’s Pa and Jersey almost went to war over Philly, and Pa lost we ended up with it. If one wanted to fix Pa, we would split the state into two states right down the Allegheny mountain continental divide. Western Pa and eastern Pa are two different states screwed into one. Do we have problems, hell yes, do we need a asshole like you to drop your two cents in, no, we will do just fine without another do nothing, cry like a baby, jackoff like you to stur the shit. The only problem Pa has is tooooo many assholes like yourself that are quick to bitch and slow to act. Email me with your state and I will pullup a map, circle a few odd names and pull the same bullshit no common sense shit you did on this site. I really get tired of assholes like you, but being a constitionalist I realize that free speech is a given right by god. So lets see if you got the fucking balls to post this, it is free speach right? By the way, send me a email, and I will get together with you for a good old fashion Pa ass kicking that we are so famous for in our steel making hard drinking state, or do you have the fucking balls for it.
Dave Wyant
Dave, I must say… You rock.
And not to mention the oh so literate and tactful residents^
you are a pussy ass bitch and pa sucks
Pennsylvania is running off of a failing economy and a geo-political system run by country bumpkins such as yourself who take pride in drinking, fighting, and being fearful of educated individuals who want to aspire to be a part of something that is greater than themselves. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but those were the facts; my opinion is that PA, especially York is one of the worst places to live in the United States and that you are nothing more than an average moron. Have a nice day 🙂
Yes, I agree with Jimmy. But, being a New Yorker, I have to say- after these primitive times of colonies and jazz like that, what has really happened? I mean, back then even JERSEY was doing okay providing for its country. And to be equivalent with Jersey doesn’t say much at all. And in regards to that deer story- How much incompetence could someone have to not even be able to kill an already injured deer? After the first few cars had hit it, I think it was pretty much attempting suicide from then on. Officer Joe Bolton must not have helped the situation much either with a few “Yosemite Sam” target practice sessions. And after the deer ended his misery, Cletus, Clem, and Billy-Bob decided to put the beast in the cooler. The cooler. This isn’t just one little thing, this is the mindset of every Pennsylvanian I have ever met. I was in a facility down in PA, and I have to say that it is filled with some real mutants. Some gene pool catastrophes, to say the least. With two words to label PA, I would say it is culturally inept. Not much going on down there besides…well, I’m at a loss. I vote we give it back to the Indians and see if they can salvage anything out of it. After all, they’re the ones in the first place who never waste a part of the carcass. And in this case, This state is indeed a carcass.
Selah,
Mario R. Groppi.
Yeah, this place sucks. We left here to move to a much, much better state. But, my husband insisted we move back. I’m a dummy for listening. The people are cheesy, old fashioned, miserable, and fat. The weather is horrible. I can’t even get up my driveway. Everyone is behind the times. And everyone here is obsessed with local celebrities. Oh, and the taxes. ugh! The men in Pittsburgh sound like a bunch of dumbasses with the way they talk. No one takes care of their appearance (did I mention everyone is FAT). And I have never seen such a large group of hairy hicks obsessed with shooting deer. I think this place is about 5 years behind the present time. And it’s so funny seeing you PA-lovers defend this state. It is so, so funny! You get so worked up. hehe
I am actively working on moving out of this state. Don’t be afraid to get out and try new places, people.
shut up loser
shut the fuck up PA is much more better. haha and the names were made why back it in time duhhh and i know caus ei live there Buddy
Haha. Pa is awesome. Have you seen the Colorado street names? They just pick a word, do Av St Blv Rd then do it again in another language.
cc is obviously your typical Pennsylvania moron. I hope you and everyone like you dies a slow and painful death! Death to Pa! Death to the Amish! Death to the Pocono’s! Death death death!
Lived here in Pa. all of my life. We moved to So. Ca. for four yrs. My wife haunted me until we moved back. Now we are miserable…..just like the rest of this state.
Hey Now…. Whats all this bashing of PA? I will have you know that I learned how to properly position my head and stretch my neck in a way that would allow me to suck my own penis, in PA. That was a valuable lesson that will provide me with a lifetime of personal pleasure. All because a sex professor from “Drew’s Discount Adult House” off Interstate 81 taught me. You see good things have come from PA.
I love PA, there’s so many good things that most people don’t even know about the state, for instance we have the world’s only drive-thru strip club….beat that!!! hahaha no but really PA’s not as bad as people make it out to be, cut us some slack we could be a worse state like NJ or any of the southern states!!!
pennsylvania is good it looks clean, pretty and unpolluted it is a bit boring florida and utah is better than pa, but texas and nevada are worse than pa
pa is a beautiful state i saw the pictures and it’s pretty fl, va and sc are better than pa wa, tx, and nv are worse
pennsylvania is ok
the one thing that does suck are those d**n steeler fans. they always think they’re the snit and so better than all other teams. it so stupid and pathetic.
” ohh look at me! I think my team is god or something! my whole life revolves around the holy lord steelers! yaaaay!”
like their whole life revolves around the d**n team. its stupid.
well one day i might go up their on my he11raising motorcycle and raise he11 on those tards
I live in PA and……what is with all the PA haters lately. Sure we have our flaws, but every state has one. Maryland has is crappy beaches, new jersey has its crappy neighborhoods, and Texes has George W. Bush. So…..come on…the US was basically created in PA. Keystone state anyone.
Good things that came from PA
1:It’s always sunny in philadelphia
2:philly cheesesteaks
3:covered bridges.
Boom bam bitches.
PA SUCKS a@@. I live in beaver pa which is 25 min north of pittsburgh. The area is dirty, old, and everyone is on disability for back problems and depression. THE BEAVER POLICE COVER FOR DRUG SNITCHES FOR THEIR OWN GAIN AND DONT PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF BEAVER. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN EX- TENANT AND THE POLICE COVERED FOR HIM, SO I HAD TO HIRE A LAWYER AND MY LAWYER FOUND OUT THAT THE TENANT WAS A SNITCH FOR THE POLICE. THE EX-TENANT WAS THREATING ME AND MY HUSBANDS LIFE AND COMING ON MY PROPERTY AFTER HE WAS EVICTED. ON TOP OF THAT THE WEATHER SUCKS. YOU NEVER SEE THE SUN. MATTER OF FACT THE WEATHER REPORT SAY THAT WESTERN PA HAS LESS SUN THEN WASHINGTON STATE. I CANT WAIT TO MOVE BACK TO VIRGINA BEACH. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU PEOPLE THAT KEEP TRYING TO DEFEND PA. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING. DO SOME TRAVING. IM SURE YOU WILL THEN SEE THAT PA DOES SUCK.
Not to mention all of the sick,inbred pedophiles that come from the “great state”of pa.I’m from the western part of the U.S.and have had the misfortune of gettin to know a lot of yahoos from pa- people from the pittsburgh area can’t even speak english correctly, they’re ignorant.and all of these people constantly brag about how great pa is-if its so great they should move back there,none of us want them out here in the beautiful west.
I always wanted to go to Penn State as a child because my father went there. When I came back from Iraq I decided to pursue my dream…I hate this place!!!! The taxes are insane, the people here are a bunch of hill billies the girls are so ugly and I wake up every morning wanting to shoot my self in the face. Not to mention the outrageous tuition I am spending and no help for veterans as in work study or Va counselors. I am actively seeking a way out of this toilet
Go to Kent State.
I can think of one word to describe Pennsylvania: PATHETIC. Look around you, PA. There are very few other states in as bad of a situation as you are. All your industries have died, you are nearly bankrupt, no one wants to move their business to your state because of high property taxes, the state is dirty and living in the past, the people are very very rude…….I could go on forever. It’s no surprise everyone flees PA once they have the means to do so.
And I think PA is the white trash capital of the nation. Especially western PA. When everyone thinks of white trash, they think of the south. But they need to be looking in PA, because it is a haven for white trash, redneck losers. And this is coming from someone who has (unfortunately) lived in PA all their life.
i love it here. i have everything i need. living in montco, wealthiest county in the state. hey rednecks out west, try giving a shit about your job maybe then your experience here will be better. the “still” industry has been dead for decades, but thanks for helping philly with its world class skyscrapers, we appreciate it you snaggle tooth republican steeler rootin tootin tumblin deer shootin grammatically challenged assholes!
PA sucks. I’ve had the misfortune of living here most of my life. I move to SoCal for 2 years and never wanted to come back. I made more friends and got more girls in 2 years then I got my entire life from 12-20 in PA. I had to come back because of my lame parents. The people in PA are rude, ignorant and racist. The upper darby cops look for any reason to pull you over. The few cute girls around here are to ignorant to look at someone with darker skin they are happy with there plain looking average joes. No one knows anything about cars around here. No one knows how to drive. The roads suck and are too small and have pot holes everywhere. The few smart people I know in PA want to leave for Florida, California or Arizona. The weather here fucking sucks it has all the rain of Washington state with none of the charm. Center City Philly smells like shit probably from the bums. Its so fucking boring all people do is go to the bars and watch sports. There are more bars than clubs. There is no rave scene. There is no
Amen Timmy Amen
Scenery. There are no drift tracks or dirt bike trails. You have to drive to NJ to go to the beach. Beer and Liquor are sold in two totally different places. They stop selling alcohol at 11pm and all the Liquor stores close at 9pm. You can only go to a beer distributor or state store to buy beer or liquor. You can’t buy it at the supermarket! Its a boring frightfully backwards state where I still see some people rocking mullets. Never come here. I could go on forever.
Give us a break with the Steelers. Of course we love them, what else is there? The crappy weather is enough to make you want to kill yourself.
This state of Pennsylvania does suck! You have to quit your job to take care of a sick newborn baby and they deny you unemployment benefits! If I was some damn scumbag loser with 10 kids by 10 different dads I would get everything handed to me. Screw the state of Pennsylvania! I was working for 21 years and they didn’t mind taking my friggen taxes but then when it is time for Pennsylvania to shell out benefits, you may as well bend over with your pants on for the big screwing!
You are so right. This state has plenty of union cronyism, but it is also a right to work state and employees get treated like crap by private industry. Get truly disabled and good luck getting SSD. The place is over-educated and people have to leave to get professional jobs. The taxes are high, yet the wages are low. It is like Appalachia ruled over by rich, snotty Quakers.
I have to agree that PA does suck.I have spent a lot of time working there because people there don’t know how to do skilled jobs. People are rude weather is bad I had to pay PA taxes and they are screwing you. So what about PA history most states did something good a long time ago but that doesn’t make it great now. Just my opinion but I never found anything worth coming back for
Pa=Pittsburgh on the west, Philly in the east, and all Alabama in between.
Pennsylvania is leading supply of apples in all of America
and the birth place of (good) cheese steaks
and the home of middlesworth chips (if you haven’t heard of them it’s beacause you don’t live in pa)
and has lebonan bolagna (same rule applys)
WAWA’s!!!!!
And recycles other states trash for electricity
and the terrain is great
To all the worthless pieces of shit that hate PA, Get the fuck out and don’t ever come back and please let the door slam your ass and fucking knock you out on the way out. I live in florida and its disgusting, The weathers so hot 8 months out of the years you can’t go outside, The girls and imbread renack trash are nasty, Rave scene club whores with STDs and others girls that look as nasty as men! Tim, Yeah the girls have class and taste in PA and not into the trashy ghetto boy fags and posers. I got more girls in 1 week in PA then I would ever even consider touching in FL. Oh yeah, Floirda, There is more police then roaches all out to pull as many people over and issue very expensive tickets even as far as using red light cameras and sending tickets in the mail no matter if they can prove who was driving! Sun so damn bright it destroys a new car within 3-4 years what would take 20years in PA. Fl has people from every state in the US and world for that matter and all the areas lack culture history and everyone is a miserable low life scum bag piece of garbage. Our imbread neighbors were so jealous I have 5 kids, nice cars, Lots of toys and happy married they cal DCF 7 times in 8 months and the police 300 times on us in a year but since there imbreads and the system is run by the god old boys here, Nothing was done to them and we just kept geting harrased until I threatened to exploit the cops with video evidence. It all majically stoped. Lets see, Racist ghetto trash spanish people, No mountains, Swamps, Cost of everything. FUCK FL, PA is beautiful.
Wow dickhead move out if Florida you douche. Not that hard assface.
You hit the nail on the head with FLORIDA BOY!!! Can’t have nothing nice with out the hatter neighbors being assholes. The neighbors there will call the cops when ever you have something nice, new car, company over, having fun with family etc… If they don’t like you they will complain to every state and local government agency until you leave. I can’t stand FLORIDIANS, them old fuck’s, DIE ALREADY. Florida cops think everyone is a drug dealer and your GUILTY IN FLORIDA UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. The entire state is a “CONSTITUTION FREE ZONE”… Left FLORIDA for PA and I must say they both suck. PA IS A BIG POLICE STATE, COPS ABUSE THEIR POWER TOTALLY. CAMERAS IN THE CAR ARE NECESSARY TO EXPOSE THEM.
What’s an “imbread?” Is it like whole wheat bread? White bread? Obviously white bread because you truly are a cracker. A poor, inbred cracker. I’m sorry. I’m working in PA, and yes, it is beautiful country, but damn, one can only take so much of its “charm.” Don’t worry, I’m definitely leaving. I’m taking my money and running back home. Not flying because it takes 5 thousand hours to fly out of anywhere in the state.
Excues me!!!! Pennsylvania does NOT suck!! I live in, and love Pennsylvania!!
My friends visit me from Ohio. They all say, “This place is dirty and old”. Scrub brush and locust trees clinging to rock hill sides. Cinders and two lane roads. You can’t get there from here. Living your life at stoplights. The natives that live here think that is heaven on earth. They would never leave. It must be something in the water. Beer distributors. Schools tell you how much they need. Vehicle inspections. Dirty buildings. Dirty streets. Dirty, dirty, dirty.
I am a Marylander who wishes the Mason-Dixon line was a 50-foot wall! What is wrong with Pennsylvanians?!? Not everything is a question, eventhough with their goofy accent it seems that way! The Amish . . . REALLY? It’s Coke NOT pop! A yeild sigh is NOT A STOP SIGN. The worst drivers ever! Thank God for Virginia, Maryland’s normal neighbor
Rains here as much as Oregon. Fuel is higher, water is contaminated, air stinks from Ohio’s factories, game commission and fish commission are like NAZI’s. Double and triple the number of state police, most corrupt state in America. State cops are always chasing the easy money (overloaded trucks) on the interstate. The drug runners seem to run wild and free. Clarion county has a Game officer that arrests people for parking on the grass. Stay of our Clarion county state parks this prick is a Nazi asshole that needs stopped. This asshole was featured on Pittsburgh News TV channels. The PA Nazi Game Commission is proud of that prick. This shithole of a state does nothing for it’s residents but arrest them and tax them. This state has surely changed in the past 40 years.
My mother and father were both from PA. They left and started their family in another neighboring state. So I was raised in this neighboring state. I have many fond memories of returning to PA to visit friends and relatives. They always seemed warmer and just more friendly than the folks in our state. As an adult, I moved my family back to PA for nostalgic reasons, and have mixed feelings about the decision. Change comes a whole lot slower in PA as compared to other states. This is good for the environment there–way less reckless development. But it’s bad for developing a tolerant, and enlightened outlook on life. Outside of Philadelphia, PA is highly conservative. The people are good, hard-working folks that take pride in a hard day’s work. But they seem to be stuck in a sort-of self-imposed state of judgmentalism. Better education with less emphasis on control and discipline for the children would do PA well for their future.
They are hardworking to a fault. They will work themselves into an early grave and the employers love it.
Well NEPA does absolutley no good at entertaining any person with any ammount of brain function if their area of interests include any meaningful or exciting social ventures. However there is walmart and sheetz.
For Men If you are a look alike for “larry the cable guy” you will have the best looking women throwing them selves at you But if you are educated,have some class,morals,all your teeth and good personal hygene dont bother leaving your house to go out on a friday night unless you are going to NYC or other actual “fun spot”
For Women If Rotten teeth,cheating,lieing,alcoholics,billy goat beards,shaved heads and poor vocabulary,and bad hygene are the stunning traits you look for in a guy then NEPA is the place for you!
Blah Blah Blah,
Sure the area has a thrilling and progressive past with and all too soon ending that left the area void of hope,color,culture and motivation.
BUT THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE ……
PA is so in need of direction and change that those willing to actually get off their asses to change the mood and electrify the boys and girls could very effectively impel this state from its current condition of decay and towards a future of progressive creative growth.
We have nothing going on here now, that means 100% potential is at our disposal…..It is about time, are you watching closely?
PA is the where the worlds first Citizen’s Band Public Radio Station. 26.965 Mhz channel 1 on the CB dial 10Pm-6Am
Changing the world the world one Mega cycle at a time.
Do not ever come to this hellhole state. I have lived in york pa and the people are some straight shit. The only way u can find employment is through a temp agency. If they do hire u you will end up in some dirty ass warehouse working for shit pay.If u do have a education it wont matter. The people will look at your educational background as a threat to them. They claim pa is the place to be but they know it sucks. These people have no way out. Their minds are gone and hope is all lost. It dose not matter what came out of this state this place is dead. This is not a place to live its a place for criminals,drug users,and all other kinds of lost souls. The constitution may have come from here pa got left out of it. I have never seen so many dirty looking people in my life even young teenage girls are missing teeth this place is hard on the body. Trash is all over the streets in this town.And the police force is some shit. They work with these town people. So if u get in some shit with these locals u better get a lawyer. don’t get trapped in pa. Do not come here because of money,problems back at home, cost of living, college, or any other reason. If you do i assure you will remember what i said. peace and good luck!
I’ve lived in Western PA my whole life. Anyone who’s satisfied living here, probably has never traveled. We ARE a bunch of rednecks. We DO live in the past. And I’m glad someone mentioned PA’s rediculous, prohibition-era alcohol laws. We are the only state with any laws like these.. And the reason we are all die hard Steeler fans, is cause it’s the only sense of pride we have. (Excluding # of deer kills) Wake up, PA, & join the modern world. Stop living in 1776.
…By the way- You can’t find decent apples, poato chips, cheese steak and dirtbike trails in any other state? If that’s what keeps you here, then I’ll add you to the list of what’s wrong with PA. We do, however, have the BEST football and hockey teams in the nation. And now we can gamble legally. It’s about time! PS- Kennywood Park is way over priced & over rated. And for the love of God; Can I get a sunny day above freezing please? What’s the deal this winter?!
I would like to say that I live in Mechanicsburg,Pa. I would like to say that all these fucks that say good stuff CAME out of this state are right. Good things did back in the 40s and 50s. It is now 2011 lets wake up and stop lying and defending one of the biggest shits holes besides NJ! This place fucking blows, there are 40,000 trucks on the highway that run you off the road because the companies hire illegals to drive them who can’t even read english, i would say 60 pecent of the people here are illegals, the other have are washed up old fat dirtballs who are just as bad!I worked at a car repair shop and was told by one of these high fuctioning retards that a alignment was to last the life of the car, ya and pigs can fly. Everyone here is a peice of trailor trash, most are some of the fattest uglyest fucks you ever saw, there is no jobs because like the rest of the country we ship all the jobs to china. Walmart has taken over every town in the state and run all the good american made product selling stores out of business so they can sell there chinese shit. If anyone reading this says oh thats racist GO FUCK URSELF! I am tired of hearing it, whats racist is that we send jobs there. If people here and in america wherent so blind they would see that if we made 90 percent of are own products the unemployment rate would demisnish and we wouldnt have to worry about stuff falling about 2 days later or bringing stink bugs over in crates or poisioning ourselves and pets with there diseses! Swine flu came here from china, so did stink bugs! Wake up everyone! If we continue to sit on our asses and let Walmart and big business win, we will all suffer in the end! But I guess like most people from PA you like collecting your welfare check for you 29 kids to 13 different guys..
I have to agree with you on that one Ron this place does fucking blow no jobs unless you want to go work for a temp service for 8.50 an hour when gas is 4.00 a gallon. I mine as well work at Mcdonald’s in the town of Newport Pa were I live. Talk about town’s that suck you haven’t lived in Newport yet trust me you don’t want to. I would have moved out a long time ago but the Mrs. wants to stick around because here grandmother is not in the best of shape. When she say’s it’s time to go i’ll be history I hate this state. And no looking back either. Speaking of jobs I have been told Career link is the best place to go to to get jobs. Wrong again. I spent some of the winter and all this spring so far looking for a job through Career link. Well let me tell you this 250 yes I said 250 applications later not one damn call for even an interview and my resume is really good. I did all the job training they wanted me to do guess what no luck. Still looking. Career link said they were gonna help me get my class A license and I could pick what school I wanted to go to. Now there questioning me why I want to go to this certain school. Now they want me to wait 2 months for me to make up my mind. Career link is a joke don’t fall for it.
Not the 40’s and 50’s, dumb fuck!
Are you peolpe fucking retards. One ass hole doesn’t like all the rain move ass crack. Another dope blames the Amish stop playing with your self
Holy shit people relax… its a fucking joke… calm down jesus
Yeah, I’ve lived here my whole with a couple of exceptions; a year in Phoenix, and a year in St. Paul. Why I ever came back I have no idea.
The comments about lost souls, welfare mothers, and no direction really struck a chord with me. I feel like I’m in the middle of a whirling cesspool on the edge of a spiritual void.
Why is drinking heavily such an inspiring ritual here at PSU? I know it’s college, but seriously, folks, a little mental stimulation beyond barely passing your classes and aspiring to a slightly better paying job would be nice.
I go to the South Hills School of Business & Technology (about a mile away from the PSU campus), and the amount ignornat drivel that just rolls right out of people’s mouths is mind-boggling. Maybe I missed a few meetings or fell asleep for a couple of years, but suckin’ down Mountain Dew, yakkin’ about hunting, and worrying about who is cheating on whom just isn’t doin it for me.
I am a Steelers fan, and I’m fortunate enough to root for a team that has won two of its last three super bowls; but it’s just a game. There is definitely lots of the “We won” mentality when we win, and “They lost” mentality when we lose.
State College is great if you want to start a family, you enjoy hunting, or you just like drinking heavily, but the amount “culture” this town and university proclaim is questionable at best.
My biggest problem is with how many people are just willing to settle in life around here. “Hopes” and “dreams” are dirty words that will isolate you from the working and drinking masses around here.
I plan to flee as soon as I have the cash, but have no idea where to go. Any suggestions for a warm and progressive place are welcome.
If you don’t like Pennsylvania and live here, MOVE!
If you don’t like Pennsylvania and don’t live here, STAY THE HELL AWAY!
In either case GO FUCK YOURSELF!
Can tell that you are from PA with your vulgar language and nothing intelligent to say.
I am in Bradford County, PA and it is so corrupt it’s pathetic. The count system allows mothers to abuse the children and get away with whatever they want, even steal children away from the fathers and family. My x lied with the help of the DA to a judge to get what she wanted. My parents went to a lawyer in Wyoming County to see if they can get to see their grandchildren and were told by the Atty, he won’t even go to Bradford County because it is so corrupt, but yet nothing is being done. He told my parents to get a lawyer from Bradford County and GOOD LUCK…….. Sad Sad Child abusers in Bradford County, Towanda, PA
Well At least there is one good radio Station in PA In fact its the only radio station of its kind in the world The world’s First and Only Citizens Band Public Radio station
And although there are many things that suck in this state RADIO1CB is not one of them.
Hey! I had to find something fun to around here didn’t i ?
Take a look Google RADIO1CB then maybe you will find that there actually IS One great thing about PA.
Other than that…. maybe it’s up to those of us who know what could be better about this state to show the dumbass rednecks how to evolve beyond ignorance.
I DARE YOU TO MAKE IT BETTER RATHER THAN RUN AWAY FROM THE PROBLEM!
i live in Reading, Pa…..talk about a shit-hole, i have a B.A. and all there are only factory jobs here. i have 8 years here, i began losing my hair here from the boredom driving me INSANE. im goin to NYC fuk P.A.
Hey xavier, I live right outside of Reading and you forgot to mention that the factory jobs you can get, you have to go through a temp agency to get. TOO COOL!!!
Places like DEKA and ASHLEY FURNITURE hire a lot of latinos so they can get kick backs from the governent… every once in awhile they’ll hire outside of the latino group, so they can make their quota of people to hire. I AM NOT BEING RACIST…I TALKED TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE WORKED AT THESE PLACES FOR YEARS. But I have no idea what you’re talking about…. A SHIT HOLE??? WHY??? There are so many good jobs here…
like part time, minimum wage, fast food and retail!!! AWESOME!!!
I think that people think the grass is always greener on the other side. As old and as over used as a saying gets, it is true. If you look at our landscape for instance there are alot of beautiful things here. There are alot of over looked things to do here in NEPA. It is all what YOU make it out to be, and what YOU choose to do with your life! Instead of wasting time complaining about this state most people are not doing anything to improve it without agendas. Most people on this page are way too negative about Pennsylvania.
I agree that there isn’t many nice social outlets here, but that’s just it- you have to make your own and see if anyone else wants to join you then just see how it goes from there. Just like Radio1CB did. He took something he was passionate about- and made it pretty big around here, the people love to listen to his show, I know I do. He is one of the only ones left on the Cb with etiquette and manners. Radio1 is intelligent and knows how to keep a good and entertaining conversation going. http://www.radio1cb.com
I love Pennsylvania because it is beautiful here. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
-H
Pennsylvania is a a terrible state.I am so glad I don’t live there anymore.There are NO jobs unless you want to be in fast food restaurants or a cashier.Even then it’s still hard.The people are rude as hell,it’s dirty,and it’s all about who you were in highschool!!! PA is behind the times! I could go on and on…I hate that shithole!
PA is very beautiful…Have you been? Some truly remarkable people have come out of the state and the baked goods are beyond delicious… It is a little odd sometimes….and people can be backwards…just like anywhere else in the world… I guess if you have to hate a state..it might as well be us…we are tough..we can take it. But you are missing out on some great experiences…I am proud to be from PA. There is nowhere like it….on summer evenings it can be downright magical.
Hey dave fuck you. Bottom line us i work my ass off in lebanon and stukl cant get ends to meet. I make 17 a hout and all the grants and assitancesays i make too much

death to the amish and death to pa? haha take a sedative please
I think you all are getting worked up over nothing. I live in Pennsylvania, and I love my state. I don’t enjoy being called ‘fat’ and ‘cheesy’ That is just a sign of being extremely immature. I don’t even know why you people judge others by where they live. Can we please keep our opinions to ourself? Thank you.
Yeah. It’s racist, I guess when people judge someone from where they’re from. Pennsylvania isn’t a single person with a single personality. It’s just not.

I always enjoy the way Pennsylvanians get so worked up over people’s opinions of the place…in NJ we’d just say fine if you don’t like it;
PA. Sux?Move to SC.after that You’ll lovePa.Or most any western st.or one above the Mason Dixon line. NYcesspool city! As for PA. Cesspool citys (Pitt., phily,)baltimore MD. Is too close!LOL. If your not part of the solution?What are you! Let’s not get started on Penn St. Football coaches///pedifile faggots,they’re wife’s knew IT To! But look at all the money these Fags brought to the school.least one died beforebeing arrested!! WaynesBAR PA.
Did
Penn.St. Football? State Penn for faggot pedifile coaches,or wait for them All to die from old. Age.Phux the $$$,look after the kids,…and jail parents who took payoffs for 10’15 yr.s.(did any of these boys make the team?) sounds mike jacksony to me.
I am living and have lived in nearby New Jersey my whole life. Pennsylvania USED to be my sanctuary. I have a lot of good memories in PA.
But lately, I would say the past 5 years in particular, things have changed in PA. It was probably changing for the worst 10 years ago. What I mean by that is……PA is no longer a sancutary. The people there are grouchy and miserable.
And Eastern PA is just like NJ now. Way overcrowded and expensive. Eastern PA also has the most aggressive drivers I have ever come across in all my travels in the U.S. After a long drive back home from a half-country away road trip it is only when I enter Eastern PA that I run into a lot of A-holes on the road who drive like maniacs. I drive 70 m.ph. to 75 mph in the fast lane only to ALWAYS have some A-hole high beaming me. What kind of maniac does that? And they say the people in New Jersey have no patience?
PA has a lot of beautiful countryside. But it’s been “polluted” by way too many people, high prices, and very aggressive drivers. So it’s no longer that beautiful country rural sancutary that I remember it to be back in the day.
Then again, everything was better in the 80’s in this once great country. I’m sure PA isnt the only State to go downhill over the years.
Xavier. NYC.?? Really? Umm. Bye.
Mark,
spoken like a true Southernfuc
Gotta luv the idiots who’s only retort is “PA doesn’t suck because I live here!”…yeah that’s reason enough^
I lived in Aliquippa PA and Easton PA (both shit holes) for 14 years and the state sucks. Most of the kids are shooting drugs because there’s absolutely nothing to do. I moved the hell out of the place to Florida and don’t regret it one bit. If you like working crappy jobs, having to go to a beer distributor to buy beer, boredom, and shitty weather then pennslyvania is the place for you.
Wow
PA Sucks just to be sure…
Dirty? Yea, looks like a damned third world country, no-one knows how to drive, gives a damn about the local and state governmental affairs, everyone whats something for (literally) nothing and will get mad when you refuse. The people are extremely two faced, and honestly believe everything they say or have been told as fact/law (even when its, more often than not, neither!).
Just when I start to think this place is alright, the people always seem to find a way, en-masse, to adamantly prove me wrong. I hate this place, and it sucks hard-core (this coming from some-one who has seen a large portion of the state, and a lot of other states as well!)
When it comes to PA, I can say its the bottom of the barrel for the US, if the whole state would suddenly disappear, the quality of life in the entire country would go up _a noticeable fraction_, if your defending it, I feel sorry for you, but then again you are probably living off hand-outs as well. And don’t compare it to the South in any facet, its like comparing Iraq to Tokyo (or rather the differences are so grand that all you can do is laugh at the thought…)
Also, Mark, those are my sentiments exactly, and I should emphasis them as well, now you can go back to dying inside, thank you. And to the rest of you, if feel the need to try and defend this horrible place, then just check out the ratio of people from the above posts before considering to object (its around 80 percent against, 20 percent for I assure you, the sad part being is that food and willful ignorance is as a popular retort). The truth hurts, but ignoring the obvious isn’t healthy for your mental well being.
PA is a joke! I’m from Jersey and I moved to PA to be with my gf – holy crap I’m moving back to Jersey. This place suuuuuuuuucks on so many levels and that says a lot for someone coming from “joisey”
I grew up in PA and then moved away for 15 years. My husband and I moved back here for my parents. I feel like everyday I wanna shoot myself. It is constantly cloudy, people are so rude, people drive like maniacs. I feel like I have been in a constant state of depression for the last 3 years we have lived here. I swear everyone in front of me at grocery stores pays with food stamps. There is always people talking about their disability checks. Gas is on avg 40 cents higher than neighboring states to the west. My husband has an MBA and is working for barely anything. I was in restaurant management for 10 yrs and I have applied for over 100 jobs and got no call backs. It seems everyone I come in contact with is incompetent at doing their jobs…nothing EVER goes as it should. We are making plans to escape PA. We will never move back. I hope my parents will understand. I am dying a slow death living here..lol
I forgot to mention the stupid alcohol laws and the taxes because so many people don’t work. Property taxes are sky high in Pittsburgh and rent is crazy because they want to rent to people that work on the gas rigs. The restaurants to eat at are hoagies, wings, or pizza. I hate the ol mighty Primanti Bros. If you don’t like the cold, deer hunting, sausage, lunch meat, hills, 2 lane roads, rude..up tight, racist, living in the 40’s people..horrible traffic, and sitting at tunnels for hours…and complete redneck..go Steelers…go Pens…YINZERS!! DON’T EVER MOVE TO WESTERN PA! It is hell
Pennyslvaina ,Ohio well ill be damned ill be damned i thought ohio was fucked up with illeducated citzens shitty weather overweight women ,men cities that look like dresden circa 1945 women who have kids as a hobby from as many diffrent men as possible beer drinking men women and even children who probably have shortended their life by the amount they drink which god knows old dirty dead cities dayton cincy cleveland toledo akron canton pittsburgh scranton philly harrisburg erie and rural areas which are infested with rednecks hilljacks pickup trucks that are as old as me im 30 men and women who sport camo rebel flags hunting outfits people who are smart as hogwash wow thats culturally appealing to me lol just being a smart ass .Pennyslvaina as fucked up as ohio which i think it is one of the most fucked up places in america with exception of bama, miss, nebraska, wyoming and wva pennyslvaina is just a peek of america if it was hit by a nuclear bomb chester coatesville harrisburg scranton wilkes barre are up there with youngstown and cincy as the worse example of human dedgradition in not just america but its up there with whats happening in darufur and some places in africa ohio pa wva is americas colon if america was a body ohio pa wv would be the colon of the ass pa is the middle of the colon indiana and mich would be the ass cheeks at least they can be kissed unlike the colon .

one word…ignorance you stupid fuck…ok maybe 4 words
Stay away from Pittsburgh if your smart
We had the unfortunate pleasure of coming to Pittsburgh for 9 months on a contract basis, and it was a encounter like no other. Last week was the end of our contract and we will never accept any type of contracts from that city ever again.
We contracted with 37 individuals from 3 other states and we also teamed up with 42 individuals from Pittsburgh on a daily basis.
When I asked all our staff (37 workers) if they wanted to ever return to Pittsburgh 35 of them had nothing polite to say.
Now do not get me wrong the city of Pittsburgh is a truly picturesque city yet in some cases looks are deceiving, and Pittsburgh is very deceiving.
Listed here are some things we observed while we were there,
Trash is all over everywhere in that city, sidewalks, streets as well as business properties and residential homes.
Roads and streets are centuries old and constantly being repaired, and we at times would laugh as the roads were
being repaired improperly.
Commercial properties and residential properties are either boarded up, aged and the ones being repaired one can only question exactly how these repairs passed coding enforcement.
Prior to arriving in Pittsburgh, we kept reading about how crime was low there. Furthest from the truth multiple murders, shootings, robberies, thefts, burglaries, muggings and the list goes on and on a daily basis.
People- I could possibly write a book regarding these people…
• Individuals that are from Pittsburgh are closed-minded, narrow-minded, and ignorant individuals that lack education and they really dislike change.
• If you disagree with a person that is from Pittsburgh, you will certainly see the stupidity come out of that individual or group, and they become unpleasant to deal with.
• You “CAN NOT” disagree with individuals from Pittsburgh or they become enraged.
• You cannot point out anything bad regarding their city due to the fact that if you do
any other individual we came across not from Pittsburgh never had anything favorable to say concerning Pittsburgh.
Constantly the reason why they were there in Pittsburgh was the same exact story every time.
“I Came to Pittsburgh because I heard how terrific of a city Pittsburgh was, and now they were stuck.”
The educated professionals we met there and there are quite a few professionals in Pittsburgh not all are bad but most are no better than the uneducated. (blind leading the blind).
The so-called professionals in positions of power controlling and manipulating the business market as well as exploiting the less fortunate. Most of these professionals in Pittsburgh have no clue at exactly what they are doing or how to perform their job appropriately.
Pittsburgh is a city we frequently heard the label as “a city of survival of the fittest” and “the blind leading the blind.”
Lack of respect for women in the work environment was an additional problem we saw while we were there and multiple times in a 9 month period that we were there we saw groups of women picketing and protesting in Pittsburgh on equality and other issues. Women earn less salaries sometimes as much as 30% less than their male counterparts in the same job title and description they hold and often giving the women a significant increase of workload compared to the men doing the same responsibilities.
Lastly,
The job that I have I travel throughout the United States and dining at various restaurants many of these restaurant chains that are in many states that I have ate at have exceptional food. Not in Pittsburgh 9 out of 10 chain restaurants that I have frequented in other states that are there in Pittsburgh was horrible. Food in Pittsburgh is bland and the service is horrible not including 5 star restaurants that don’t cook a meal like the recipe is supposed to be like. I will also say the whole time we were there we always wondered if we would ever get lucky and get our food hot and within a normal time frame.
9 months numerous restaurants and 100’s of times eating in Pittsburgh restaurants and we never got that lucky.
There you have it in a nutshell, sorry to be so cold and seem like I am just attacking Pittsburgh but I will say don’t take my word for it go there yourself and stay for more than a week before planning to move there and then you won’t want to move there.
Best of luck and wish you all well,
Terry
You obviously don’t like pennsylvania because you are from the worst part of the state.
I happen to live in Hershey, and most of the people here are pretty thin. I can only name 5 people in this town that are overweight. And we have everything! Cities (Philly, Pittsburgh), Suburbs (Hershey, Harrisburg, Palmyra), and Rural areas.
Their taxes are too high. That’s why I moved back to Texas . Seems half the state is on welfare and the stores charge two arms and one leg just for food because they know half the state is on food stamps. And then there were people like me who actually paid for my own food and choked at 4.89 for a jar of smuckers peanut butter. When I got back to Texas the same smuckers at the same chain store, Walmart was 2.89. Pennsylvania is robbing the people.
THE COUNTY THING MADE ME LAUGH BECAUSE ALL OF THESE COUNTIES WERE AROUND BEFORE THE STATE. WYOMING, INDIANA, AND WASHINGTON WERE AROUND BEFORE THE STATE, DELAWARE WAS PART OF PENNSYLVANIA UNTIL WILLIAM PENN LET THEM BECOME THEIR OWN. YORK IS IN ENGLAND SO THE ENTIRE STATE OF NEW YORK IS NAMED AFTER A PLACE IN ENGLAND AND SO IS THE COUNTY. HERSHEYS IS MADE IN MEXICO NOT PENNSYLVANIA AND HOW DOES THE AMISH EFFECT THE WAR???
OKay this is stupid i live in Pennsylvania and its just awesome whoever wrote this is jelious and must be severely dumb. If you say Penn State is a snake-bitten team i believe many pennstaters should come at hour house and burn it to the ground Not good day to you, evil!
There are plenty of reasons why PA sucks and you failed to mention one of them. By the way, PA is older than most of the places you mentioned; you fuck
I lived in NEPA for the first 28 years of my life, and I have to say that I do agree with a lot of the previous comments. PA is DEFINITELY a depressed, ass-backwards state complete with corruption, bigotry/ignorance, extreme racism/prejudice, too many fkn deer and countless (and toothless!) degenerate bastards. Most of the roads are, indeed, absolute garbage! The state and local governments tend to royally fuck a lot of innocent, hard-working people and basically hand over assistance to free-loading scum (not ALL of them are, however) who could care less about anyone but themselves. The judicial system is a fkn trainwreck…I’m sure at least some of you heard of the whole Kids-For-Cash scandal in Luzerne Co., which is utterly fkn mind-blowing, to say the least! I could go on FOREVER!
But please, do not assume ALL Pennsylvanians to be so ugly. There is still a lot of good things and people in PA, just as there is any other place you go. I completely understand the disgust and disappointment for PA and it’s a damn shame how fkn nasty some of the people could be and how stuck that state really is. But please, don’t judge ALL of them!
That is all, everyone…
And that was not meant for everyone…
Wow this website sucks as bad as the state. You sir are a waste of life!
Hey, we got good cheesesteaks, TASTY cakes, mud cakes, and other various cakes. Cakes.
PA is a shithole, and I’m from PA do it shall always be my shithole. I love york county, PA
I must say pa sucks a big one, I only hope I can escape this place with my sanity intact….what a backwards ass shithole.
Wow, so many reasons to hate Pennsylvania, yet this idiot found none of them. Also, most of his reasoning is flawed (Lycoming County for example) “Lycoming” is a Lenape Indian name predating the founding of the commonwealth…His entire article is basically nonsense. Way to go, douchebag.
This state is a lot better than it sounds, sure we have horrible winters, but I live in York, and we were here before New York, maybe that’s why they call it NEW York.
We have the Liberty Bell in Philedelphia.
Philedelphia was also one of the first Capitals of the US. So was York. We also have Pittsburgh, which may not be the nicest city, but once you get used to it, it’s fine.
We also have the most colleges than any other state.
I just wanted to say, that PA in fact DOESNT Suck
Hey Einstein, do some research on county names before you act like you know eveything. Here’s a fact for you dumb a$$….31 of the 50 states have a Washington County. There is no such law that says state names take precedence over county names. Considering that fact that Washing County, Pa was incorporated when the future state of Washington was still part of the Northwest Territory. We’re you home schooled in a trailer?
I would never recommend anyone move here to live.
I would never recommend anyone move to this shit hole of a state. Fucking Nazi’s here.
PA is not the place it was only 5 short years ago. Yes it really doesnt have much going for it if good taste and intelect it what you are seeking to surround yourself in FACT!
However there is still THE WORLDS FIRST AND THE GALAXY’S ONLY CITIZEN’S BAND PUBLIC RADIO STATION on 26.965 Mhz CB Channel 1
For over 25 years RADIO1CB
Your beacon of hope in a cesspool of ignorance
