I agree. I moved here less than a year ago and this is the most boring place that I have ever lived in in my life. Boring..

That makes three of us. Sorry folks, I HATE it here. The only reason i stay is for my kids. Maybe some adoreable female can change that for me.

Eh... it is what it is. I've lived all over the US and trust me, there are worse places to be. It is what you make of it. Maybe it's not the most exciting, but find something that makes it exciting. You can't sit on your duff and expect it to be handed to you. You have to get up and look for it.

Whenever someone tells me to go to hell, I tell 'em that's why I live in Oklahoma. I'm practicing.

I've lived in this state for the majority of my life with short stints in about 3 other states. I enjoy Oklahoma immensely. There is so much to do, you just have to figure out where it is. We have museums galore, all kinds of bars, about every type of food you could ever want brought to you by at least three or four different restaurants of the same genre. We have a crap ton of lakes, we have mountains/cliffs, we have prairies, we have some swampish land, we have desert, and even forest. There is the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. There is Oktoberfest, Mayfest, Herbal Fairs, State Fairs, Circuses, Zoos, Amusement Parks, Caves... all kinds of stuff. One great part is that a lot of it is free or cheap.

Oklahoma is graced by having low costs of living, some of the friendliest people ever, good schools, and no bad traffic. Don't try to tell me we have traffic jams... go take a drive in Salt Lake City, Chicago, or New York and then tell me we have traffic. I know it can get boring but you just have to know where to look and what there is to do.

umm...you haven't really seen much of the world, have you...

The museums are jokes.
The food sucks. Ok, the restaurants have gotten better in recent years, but the grocery stores are still very limited unless you like fried..everything.
Bars? you use a plethora of bars as an example of how good it is here? seems like that should show how desperate it is here...
Oh yes the lakes. Let's go and see the water sources we like to poison. Yes that'll be fun. Want to go for a walk by the lake under the moonlight? Sorry, you'll be arrested for trespassing if it's after 11pm.
We have molehills people like to make into mountains.
Forests? please. We have overgrown bushes w/ delusions of grandeur.

And the rest..are merely distractive parties to keep one from thinking how little culture and intelligence is in this state. If one has a brain, this state suckith mightily.
There's a very good reason why it's cheap to live here. Anyone with a brain doesn't want to and tries to get out if they can.

Yes there are places that might be nicer than here, there are most certainly places worse than here. You make of it what you will.

If you are content to be miserable, you will be miserable and hate every place you end up.

If you detest the place so much, why do you stay?

Such negativity... it's kind of sad.

ummm... you're just bitter aren't you?

What is funny is when I was in Toledo, Ohio, it appeared that every other person I met was from Oklahoma and they were all trying to get back. (I swear it was at least 15 different people.) I am not sure what part of Oklahoma you have stuck up your ass but, yeah... I would move if I were you or start making plans to. There is a reason I did not stay in Ohio... also, your eloquent text does not frighten me. Its not like I am a threat or anything; I just happen to enjoy the state I live in.

You should be ashamed for trolling and trying to bring my image of something I enjoy down to your level.

been lots of places I wasn't miserable, as you say. I stay because I have no choice.

And you remind me of a favorite quote, "ignorance is bliss. and you're a real happy person"

bitter? I suppose. Being surrounded by ignorant, inconsiderate redneck hicks, like this state is so full of, for an extended period of time, does that to me.
Funny, every person I ever met, everywhere else in the country, who had been to Oklahoma, couldn't wait to get the hell out. I guess we travel in different circles.
Why exactly would you be frightened by my text? And I didn't see you as a threat. I don't get what you're on about with those comments.
Ashamed for trolling? Typical. Voice an opinion, different from your group, and it's belittled. So very typical.
And I wasn't trying to bring your image of anything to anything.

Oh I definitely agree with you here!!! I've lived in louisiana and oh my gosh, northeast oklahoma is almost heaven compared to that hot, humid bug infested place. Besides, the people I encountered didn't take yankees too well, I feel more than welcome here!! It's hot here, but no where as humid. Life is what you make it.

That was the biggest waste of virtual space that has ever graced my eyes... I'm astounded that you seriously tried to argue (with an Okie) that Oklahoma sucks. Home is home, and for every individual home is a different concept. Its just to bad that Arcamedees seems a bit too much of a baby to hack it anywhere. Cynicism is a useless attribute, grow up.
