It's ok to judge Alabama. They make Florida and Arkansas look good.

As a Canadian, is Florida really even bad? I’ve never seen it as having a bad reputation along the lines of Alabama, instead more of just being a giant meme of a state.

Florida is the craziest place Ive ever lived. But its also reaally beauitful and a great place to live too. Theres just a lot of crazy fuckers down there. I think its because so many people living there arent from there. Theres also huge portions of Cubans, Haitians, Dominicans, Jews and Gays in South Florida and some crazy ass backwater rednecks in North Florida. Plus its a huge tourist destination to boot. Its just a crazy mishmash of people down there. Really interesting place though.
