    Have you been to Alabama? You could shoot those “adopt an African” commercials there.

      I can’t speak about Alabama specifically, but all the states I’ve been to seem to be pretty nice places to live. Maybe I’ve only been to “the good ones” if what you said is true

        And I’m sure you traveled to the nicer places of the cities you were in.

        Did you specifically seek out the bad places?

        Crazy thought, but tourist destinations are usually pretty nice for a reason. You’re never going to see the slums or the backwaters if you’re just doing the tourist thing.

          When I travel somewhere I don’t intentionally look for places that are shitholes, but I didn’t seek out good spots either. I try to get a feel of what living in the state is like, not just in it’s flagship city. Yes I haven’t done that for every single state I’ve been to, but I have for a lot of them.

          Regardless, there’s no need to be rude about it man
