After spending Christmas in Mississippi, I believe I would be happy living there. The friendly culture and environment is very similar to East Texas. Why the hell does the nation knock it so much? Geez. A few dumbshit rednecks get out of control 50 years ago and it seems the place is condemed for eternity.

Anyway, great visit. Beautiful state. Friendly culture. I'm a fan of The Great State of Mississippi.





Of course, if I were to move there from Texas, doing so would increase the average IQ of both States.

I've always loved Mississippi, and I was in the Jackson area a few days with the lady. It gets a bad rap, but I will say there is some good food and a lot of hot women around.

I made this very statement when traveling to Palestine, TX last week.

A lot of people pick on Mississippi but I can honestly say that every Mississippian I've ever met has either been really cool and/or nice. I'm sure there are plenty of rednecks and lowlifes but not among the small group of Mississippi natives I've come across. And yes, there are some mighty fine women that reside there.

I would have to respectfully disagree about it being a "beautiful" state though. It's not ugly but landscape wise it's pretty non descript area. It along with Louisiana is much less interesting topographically than the states it borders

I spent a few days in Grenada fishing in the Crappie Masters tournament several years ago.

Thought it was a decent enough place and the East Texas culture comparison is something I can agree with.

It's just too easy to knock a place with the highest poverty rate in the nation, the worst education, lowest literacy rate, highest obesity rate, and the state that didn't technically outlaw slavery until the late 1990s.

I was forced to live in Columbus for two years of my life so my opinion of Mississippi as a state will always be bad. Even though it's a bad sample size to be honest.

Thank You for the kind words.




Although, it's my personal opinion that the biggest assholes in the world come from East Texas and work in the Poultry Industry.

Lived in Texas for 20 years now and I cannot wait to retire to North Mississippi one day.

I like Mississippi as well. I love the South though and can find something I like about most Southern states. My favorites are TN, NC, NW Arky, Alabama, Florida, GA. I love LA for their food.

Mississipi sucks.

I strongly urge anyone who has never visited the state to stay far, far away. Don't ever consider even driving through on your way elsewhere.

I repeat, Mississippi sucks. In particular the extreme NE corner near the AL/TN state lines. Awful, awful place.

Stay the hell away. I mean it.

I grew up in the worst part of Mississippi and I wouldn't change it. It's a great place to grow up because everyone knows each other and it's much safer than a lot of places. People want to see Mississippi as some horrible place but it's really not. But the simpletons don't want to learn more about the state because it's easier to point and laugh at all the bad things and things that happened 50 years ago

I probably live in what most people refer to as the most "depressed " part of Mississippi , the Delta . I have lived in Houston Texas , Memphis Tennessee , Virginia , Nashville Tennessee . I wouldn't live in the rat race that many people live in ( Atlanta , Los Angeles , Dallas ) we have the best hunting and fishing anywhere . I have great friends , would not live anywhere else . I've lived in eastern Europe , vacationed in the Carribean , played golf in Scotland . I'm fine right here . Run it down all you want . We did finish ranked first in one category . Hospitality . That works for me .

I've lived in Louisiana my whole life. Moved to Mississippi and everything there is exponentially better besides the food. Mississippi people automatically made it that much better than Louisiana for me.
