@Azeroth: I told you yesterday that fable was a man. I refferred to fable as "he" and you told me you always thought he was a woman. So you didn't believe. Well thats the correct way to go. :D

Boring old New Jersey that had a female governer, and a good one she was.

You're just saying that because she promised to cut taxes, and delivered. :D But now the terrible potholes throughout what was once considered the nicest state to drive in are even more of a laughing stock, and several schools have had to shut down for lack of basic supplies. Jersey is well on the way to achieving its goal of becoming a urbanized third world nation. ;)

Certainly. If you're looking for a perfect example, try...New Jersey.

I don't know about that. The last time is was in Mississippi the roads were pretty bad. I was in a logging truck with my dad and I swear that the truck must have come off the ground a couple time.

Well, yes. :) There are more people per square mile in New Jersey than in any other state. Most of the forests and farmland have been removed. The northeast is pervaded by the charming odor of oil refineries, as are portions of the southwest. The southeast, relatively undeveloped until recently and rather charming, is now a casino-filled tourist trap. Much of the state is run-down in appearance, an endless succession of strip malls, automobile repair shops, tattoo parlors and beauty salons. Architecture, as a means of beautifying the environment, is a foreign concept. There are almost no parks of any size throughout the state. If you want to camp out, you can go elsewhere.

I've lived in Washington state, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, Florida (north and south), North Carolina, New York, Missouri, and New Jersey. I can honestly state that New Jersey has the least interest in the arts or sciences. And while Texas has a reputation for hard-nosed machoism, what I've sometimes seen of New Jersey-ites brings to mind the word "brutality." It is not a nice place to be.

I will gladly field additional questions. :D

@Fable How did you like the state of Washington?

:eek: Then I probably should never go there :eek: I actually thought Florida lacked more that any other place I've been (and I've been travelling a lot).

About your gender, Fable: I think it's a great compliment that people have difficulties of knowing your gender from you posts. One of many things I really like you for, is that you seem to lack a lot of sterotypical behaviour, including gender role sterotypes.

Personally, I find all sterotypes limiting for people and also quite boring. But gender stereotypes are perhaps the most limiting and boring, since there's really only two possible variants. Of course they vary from culture to culture, as they do over time, but still, in the industrialised western world, they are very similiar. If everybody was behaving according to stereotypes, this world would be so predictable and monotonous so I'd rather move to an uninhabited island. But people like you Fable, make the world a much more rich and interesting place :)

Certainly! :D As I said somewhere, IQ is related to level of education, so Fable is absolutetly giving us all some more IQ-scale points :) :D Actually, I think he has a postive effect on "real" intelligence also, since his posts make us think. He actually reminds me a lot of Bertand Russell...(famous 20th century philosopher, humanist and pacifist, also one of Einstein's best friends.)

So i can stay home all day and listen to fable rather then going to school. Sounds good. :D

@fable: where in NJ do you live. I live in the suburbs in the woods(northern nj).

I've lived in New York and i would love to live there when i grow up or maybe Los Angeles because of the "traffic".
