How would you rate this US state from a scale of 1-10?










I remember someone else did a series of topics like this last year & seemingly stopped about ten states in, so I figured I'd give it a second whirl.

This one is one I know very little about outside many iconic events in the Civil Rights Movement taking place there.

I meant to give it a 2 but accidentally gave it a 1. I give it a 2 because the best seafood I've ever had was in Alabama.

It depends on how you look at it. There are places there that are as fine as anywhere else. Lots of poverty stricken areas though. Rating it against other states would be pretty rough, but rating it overall compared to the rest of the world, not so bad.

1/10?

God damn. We have our issues, but I highly doubt any of you guys who voted that low have ever even been here. Or just have been to the wrong parts of the state.

I think I've only ever driven/ridden through, so I can't really say. I lived in Louisiana, and I can only assume things are pretty much similar across the south coast.

Bad weather, mean people, high crime rate, and exquisite food. 3/10

I voted 1/10 and I live here. Lived in bum fuck nowhere rural parts. Been to Huntsville and Birmingham numerous times and have friends who live in both. Been to the capital. Been to Tuscaloosa. Admittedly never been to Gulf Shores, but I can't imagine I'm missing much.

Alabama sucks, dude.

What excuse? You honestly think even half of those 25 people who voted a 1/10 have been here? Come on man. And s***** compared to what? If we're a 1/10, then 10/10s don't exist. You're standards are way too high. Yeah, we have MAJOR issues, but there's some really nice places in Bama. And people. And food. That are nowhere near a 1/10.

I'm from New Jersey, another state everyone shits on, and I've never used that shitty excuse in my life.

Grow up, Alabama is the second worst state in the union, only in front of Mississippi. Ranks near the bottom in nearly every category in lots of research papers.

1. Which is why we need criteria, which has been asked multiple times in this topic.
2. You're angry for no reason.
3. I'm probably older than you. Even if I'm not, my opinion has nothing to do with a "lack of maturity", which I have plenty of, thank you.
4. I'm aware. We suck in a lot of areas. But we get a bad rap. Also, there are really nice parts of the state, such as my hometown. As well as really nice, good mannered people, and great food, as I mentioned before. I'm sure there's really nice parts of Jersey too. I would never s*** on the entirety of Jersey as a whole. Or try to use something like Chris Christie as an excuse to talk s*** about a place I've never even been to.

Idk. They're all tools. I never vote for these clowns so I don't really know enough about him. I just know Trump endorsed Strange and his rally was where he said all that nonsense, and I'm also sick of his TV ads (they're hilarious btw).

Have you considered voting for Doug Jones? He's far more of a palatable bipartisan-leaning choice, if you ask me. I know the odds are against him, but I refuse to resign myself to the alternative this early on.
