Moving to America

Wyoming sounds good, but the winter is unfortunate, what about Kansas? I don't mind the odd Tornado now and then.

Just as cold but without the natural beauty. Plus, every few years, a bunch of fundies sneak on to the state education board and try to outlaw evolution.

Well, most of the state is very flat and boring, but there are some very lovely areas.

Being white and English speaking helps, unless you're Canadian.

I'm sure there are, but I doubt there's any part of KS that compares with Yellowstone, the Tetons, or the Powder River country.

Yeah, that happened after I moved. I'm glad I wasn't there for that, as it was a totally retarded thing for them to do. I actually thought it was just a bad joke, the first time I heard about it.

I love Wyoming in the summer. Parts of Idaho are also gorgeous, however, both states are VERY cold in the winter. Nothing temperate about either of them. If you are interested in freezing your butt off, you are welcome to live there, but for me, I am quite content to visit in summer, especially Wyoming. I am in love with the Tetons and I love rafting down the Snake River outside of Jackson Hole, but the entire state shuts down from October to April.

Idaho does have a more visible population of Mormons than other states, but that's not a negative trait. Mormons generally make good neighbors and are not really as weird as some people on this site make them out to be. Utah itself is a beautiful state, and really isn't "all" Mormon either.

I would personally choose to live in Northern California or Oregon, preferably on the coastline. The most gorgeous forests and ocean-views I have ever seen are on the upper North-West. The temperature is about perfect and they don't get very much snow.

Very little snow on the Oregon Coast, maybe a dusting every 4 years. North coast gets too much rain, better central or south coast.

I'd be surprised if there weren't illegal aliens from India and the like working in the IT industry.

I actually doubt that illegals account for much of the US IT workforce.

Yes. Why do you ask?

Casper of Natrona Country in Wyoming State sounds good to me.

Anyone know anything about that place?

One of my Navy friend's father lives there, I visited them in December once. It was quite cold. Below 0 F.

ACK!

How do you feel about oranges?

I never claimed they did. I only claimed that illegal IT workers existed.

ACK!

Bugger, screw that place then.

I'm trying to randomly select an obscure place to live.

[KrazyHorse]

Why are you complaining about 0F? I mean, you should probably wear a jacket in that weather, but...?
