Hey i'm here in Michigan..how can ya hate it!

Actually I hate MI. too

awww c'mon people, Michigan is the best state in the US, go spend a couple months over in Qatar/Saudi Arabia and Michigan will seem like paradise

Would be a great state had the gov not run it into the ground

yeah I have been gone for about 10 years and really wasn't following the state, heck I even missed the CNN broadcast of the riots in Benton Harbor, I didn't even hear about it until I got home. Maybe the next gov will fix everything she messed up, we can only hope. Oh well, I won't give up on Michigan, after all we are the first line of defense against the Canadians

HAHAHA damn canadians.. BLAME CANADA! BLAME CANDADA! WITH ALL THEY'RE BEEDY LITTLE EYES

if you lived in the appropriate area ...you wouldn't hate it ...you would love it...i live in heaven on lake huron and i don't need to pay for gas to drive to the city cuz it sucks....

You must have a trust fund or a sugar daddy, cuz the rest of us cant find a job thanks to Gov. Gramwhore

My job is to annoy people like you and obviously, I do it well....lol. Yes, I do have a trust fund and no, I do not have a sugar daddy. I am self sufficient and have a suga' daughter. She's 17 and I make her work like a slave.

i like michigan just not the econ

What abou the weather? heh

I dont know anyone who is totally happy with their lot in life.

this much is true!!

I can tell you guys now, michigan doesnt suck anymore then the rest of this country, every state is either filled with assholes and douchebags or the economy sucks . . . and dont forget that certian parts of ohio smell like the inside of a dead donkey's ass . . . and dont ask me how i know, i just do. lol

I am tired of living in MI. I think 50 years is enough

Michigan sucks???
Hummm...
Well... I'll add my 2 cents and ask,"What part of Michigan sucks to you?"

As for this reader/writer, I think Michigan is a beautiful state. Rolling hills... wonderful National forest and parks...lots of inland lakes... not to mention the really nice beaches along the Great Lakes shoreline.

HOWEVER...
After growing up in this state, then moving out of state in the early 80's because the economy went into the tank.(I went to Texas), and returning about 5 years ago. It is my experience that the people of Michigan are not nearly as open minded and friendly as the people in the southern US. Most people in Michigan tend to be just downright "New York City" rude, condesending, and dismissive of others.
Detroit city is, as one CNN news reporter recently put it,"worse than downtown Baghdad" and has been put on the 2008 list of THE WORST place in the US to live. Flint was a close 2nd to St.Louis, but ended up the 3rd worst.
After living in a large southern city for 20 years, I see the potential that Detroit has as it's in a wonderful location.
But locations do not make great places to live. Buildings don't make a great city. The PEOPLE make a city great!
So what doesn't that say about the city of Detroit and Flint?

I was just at a Tigers game on Father's Day. All in all,I felt safe downtown. But I have say that I was not comfortable with the way I was treated by one of the venders who appeared to be nothing less than racist! The idiot didn't want to serve me and my son two freakin hotdogs...I assume because we were "white"...said they weren't ready...I could clearly see 15-20 behind the glass on the grill in front of me that were indeed done and sizzling away... walked away and watched as "one of the brothers" walked up and purchased 4 hotdogs and two soft drinks. The letter to the Detroit Tigers Organization is in the works.
Note:[ Want to get attention? Put it writing in a formal business letter! Phone calls get dismissed and ignored. But if you put it on paper and address it to the 'HGIC' head guy in charge... it gets attention! HaHa!]


You can't blame the government as WE THE PEOPLE are the government. If you don't vote, you have no right to complain. If you don't like the freakin' government... CHANGE IT!
We all understand that BIG MONEY runs this country. Mark my words on this page. The US is about to go through some real changes and it won't be all pretty. People are tired of getting screwed by credit card companies, by mortgage lenders, and by their "big business" employers. They are tired of white collar crime and they have just about had enough of the thugs on the streets. I doubt I'll be around to see it all changes as it's not going to happen overnight.

Maybe we should treat Michigan like a dirty fish bowl... Just dump it all out and start fresh.


So in my opinion,

Michigan doesn't really suck.

The PEOPLE of Michigan suck!
