A.) A fairly decent state to live in, although the lack of jobs. 2.) An excellent college football team that never seems to have a losing season. D.) Where snow is not a big deal in May. 4.) A place with a decent music scene. E.) Mexico's biggest fan, seeing as every company decides to move there.

A.) Yeah, Michigan's not bad, except I'm getting laid off next week. 2.) The Michigan Wolverines are number 5. Again. D.) "Hello, it's May 3rd. today was a beautiful day, 75 and sunny. Tomorrow there's a slight chance of snow and highs in the twenties." 4.) "Did you check out that new band from Grand Rapids, Still Remains?" "Yeah bro. They're so xmetalx. Woot." E.)"2,000 jobs will be lost as yet another company moves down to Mexico, where they can pay workers 1/6th what they pay them now."

Ok, first of all... people who say, "oh it sucks and it's so boring i've been there a million times" I LIVE HERE IN MICHIGAN I THINK I WOULD KNOW A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN YOU. yeah.. it's boring.. but there arent "just cornfields" beleive it or not, there ARE beaches here... and sometimes it gets up to 100 degrees. It's NICE having 4 seasons... at least it's not just hot weather... im sorry.. but if i had to wake up christmas morning and not see snow... it wouldn't even feel like christmas. all im saying.. is that when all everyones saying is that there's ONLY cornfields and it's only BORING... that's not the truth, so if you don't even live here... and your saying stuff like that, then you can shut the fuck up, because the only people who REALLY know about michigan are the ones who LIVE here.

A state in the upper U.S. that is shaped like a mitten. It is a state that is usually picked on mostly because of the weather, potholes, and sports teams and people tend to say it is a bad place without even going there. It is best known for its cold weather, Eminem, and car productivity.

I want to move to Michigan someday.

The state where it can be a 70 degree, beautiful, sunny day on one day, and the very next can be a 45 degree rainy day. Also, it's almost impossible to find a job, due to the state being overrun by fucking idiots(Fuck you Granholm.). Other than that, Michigan is pretty sweet. It has the best sports teams - Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, and - well, the Lions, yeah, they may suck, but we still love em. Realistic info: Largest city is Detroit. Capital is Lansing. Other notable cities Flint Grand Rapids Battle Creek Troy Westland Wayne Ypsilanti Ann Arbor Auburn Hills and plenty more.

Day 1: damn, it's nice outside. let's go play some baseball. Day 2: shit, it's rainy as hell... ain't that a bitch\! plus i need to go find a job. Oh well. I'll just chill and watch the tigers kill the white sox, the pistons fuck up the bulls, and the red wings murder any team that comes in their way. Also I will watch the Lions job to any team. Day 3: 100 degrees... fuck\! plus Im goin to Detroit for the tigers game\! better bring the spf 3000\! michigan \> your state

One of the United States of America, 26th in the Union, with the longest freshwater shoreline in the entire world. Also, a person is never more than 6 miles from a natural water source, nor 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes. And most importantly, despite our tendency to truncate words, our accent forms what is called the "General American" dialect, or the one considered accent-less by the most people (although we do have some fun with words). Apparently, for people who can't spell, there are 23 different ways the residents of our state choose to spell its name. For what truly defines this state, I refer you below:

In MICHIGAN we have two seasons: WINTER, and CONSTRUCTION. 60 degree TEMPACHUR is occasion for shorts, T-shirts, and maybe a swim. We head UP NORTH to THE COTTAGE, which is anywhere north of the state's middle. The cottage is either some disintegrating cabin in the middle of BFE where we go to play EUCHRE, get drunk and THEN shoot deer; or it's a beach house that sleeps 22 and has its own marina. THE BEACH is Lake Michigan. THE LAKE is whichever Great Lake you are closest to. THE BRIDGE is MACKINAC and never ever pronounced "Mackinack." We have CIDDIES like GRARAPIDS, DihTROIH, Pah-NEEACK, BADDLE CRICK, an AnNARBOR. After coming home from THE PLANT we park our CAHRR in the GRAAGE and then pull A COLE ONE outta the FRIGERRAIDER. Otherwise we STAHP by the SEVENuhLeven an gedduh PAHP. Soda is something you bake with. We eat a SAMWICH, drink MELK, and have SHERBERT for dessert. We make a MICHIGAN LEFT and pass on the RIGHT. Driving the SPEED LIMIT warrants road rage. We blast through RUSH HOUR traffic at 85 mph past state troopers because they are looking for the guys doing 100. If we get pulled over we go to the SECRETARIAHSTATE. Our state bird is the MUSKEEDA which has been known to carry away cats and even small children. G's in verbs are always silent, R's are always hard, and we end our sentences with a PREPOSITION, like. T's in the middle of a word and not supported by another consonant are pronounced like a D, and when coupled with an "N", they get dropped like the useless energy-wasting consonants that they are. \<author unknown\>

*A magical state that consists of an upper and lower peninsula. The lower peninsula looks like a mitten. *Here you can find college towns, laid off angry people, bored kids, cornfields, farms, and plenty homeless people in Detroit. *Michigan can't be that bad, because people who live in Michigan actually vacation in other parts of Michigan. People who live in the south part of Michigan like to go, "up north", sometimes to the U.P., to go hunting, fishing, camping, and visit the tourist attractions in their good old home state. *Once people in Michigan turn 19,it is almost tradition to cross the birdge into Canada to go drinking. *People love boats in Michigan, because of all the lakes, but have to sell them (no one will buy them) because they can't afford to use them anymore. *Sometimes things get pretty depressing in Michigan, but at least the weather keeps us on our feet (you never know what to expect.) *Numerous famous people hail from Michigan.. (Bob Sieger, Madonna, The White Stripes, Eminem, Kid Rock, Chiodos...)

I live in Michigan and I don't have a job, but at least I have a boat, a cornfield in my backyard, and saw Kid Rock at a Piston's game\!

The best State. Even though Granholm fucked us up. I was born in Ann Arbor and lived in southeast Michigan my whole life. It is a beautiful state. Even though there are a lot of poor people, there are still those that are normal. People in Michigan go on vacation in their own state because its beautiful. Everyone has a boat and goes to lakes "up north" or to their "cottage" (coddage) If you don't own a boat, no worries, one of your friends does for sure and they'll let you chill with them. People in Michigan are aggressive drivers and actually know how to drive, unlike people in most other states. There are lakes everywhere that people vacation at, so you get to meet new people a lot. I vacation at Higgin's lake and Burt Lake in the northern lower peninsula and it is beautiful, except for when you can't go on the boat because its storming. The Great Lakes are awesome too (esp. Huron) even though they are a little chilly. In the Summer(ish season) there are a lot of rich people from other states that go to the lakes because its so cheap to vacation in Michigan. And the people are nice. Though a lot of people have lost their jobs and are poor, they are still the most generous people you could find.

Grew up in Hamburg, Canton, Plymouth, and Howell Michigan. Michigan is kind of the vernacular bridge for words. *We know what soda is, but we call it by the right name: POP some may even choose to call it soda-pop *A woodchuck and a groundhog are the same thing, but we call it by the right name: WOODCHUCK *a refrigerator is a "fridgerator" *government is "goverMit" * Stores such as Meijer, Kroger, and K-mart get a possessive s attached for whatever reason and become Meijer's, Kroger's, and K-mart's. * The beach refers to whatever lake you are closest to, whether it be a great lake or a smaller one. *There is such a thing as a Michigan accent we pronounce t's in the middle of worlds like d's (city= Ciddie)and we draw out our a's (baaathroom) *If you are from the U.P. (that's upper peninsula for you outsiders) then you are a yooper, if you are from the lower peninsula, you are a Troll (because you are below the Bridge) *The "Bridge" refers to the Mackinac Bridge *Correct pronunciations of Mackinac= Mackinac Bridge-MackinaW, Mackinaw City-MackinaW, Straits of Mackinac-MackinaCK, Fort Michilimackinac- MichilimackinaCK

Beautiful lakes, and beaches. Nice warm summers, and winters with alot of snow. There are a lot of poor people and a LOT of rich people. The middle class is disapearing in michigan. Michigan is a great place to live if you have money. There are many great colleges in this state. Michigan has a superior level of education. This state also has great weed.

A great state. Beautiful lakes and sunsets, and grass. Huge city of Detroit with the Tigers and Red Wings making things interesting, and bringing in things like the North American International Auto Show. Maybe the auto industry is going downhill, but we're still the birthplace of the car. Lots of beautiful snow, but warmer than Minnesota so you can actually play in it. Two peninsulas (connected by the famous Mackinaw Bridge) so if you are sick of the city life you can just visit your own state, and basically visit a different world. Home to a ton of great colleges, and some good jobs in the Advertising industry, and Chemical Engineering fields. We also have great fruit, like the cherry festival and Michigan Apples\!\! And where else can you show someone where you live by using your hand??

Oh Yeah\! I'm from Michigan, right here\! Wait...that's your hand

It's an overall nice state. Yeah, we have unemployment, and three (maybe four) of our cities were named in the top ten with the most crime in the U.S. But have you seen our beaches? Our sunsets, oh wow. And people think it's boring and horrible, etc, etc. The people are generally nice, and even though it's freezing, it can also be hot. Our spring is one of the nicest around. And yes, we have FOUR seasons, and even though I want to move to Cali later in life, MICHIGAN will always be my home. So the Lions suck right now. They're getting better\! The Pistons are good, the Red Wings are good, Michigan and Michigan State are nice. So our gov't has had some problems (okay, a lot), but so does the national gov't. So we might be country people, for the most part, but you can tell the difference between our city people and our truly, truly country people. And guess what else? We can drive in ANY conditions. So beat that.

Inhabited by a race of people which are said to never complain about the cold, have a diet of which is made of 85% [venison] and beer, and are rumored to be direct descendants of [Canadians]. -Consists of the U.P. and the lower peninsula. Don’t ever call it the “L.P.” -Where whitetail deer come from. -Where whitetail deer flee from in November. -Tourists are both hated and loved here. The state needs them for a sustainable economy, yet it doesn't matter where you go; if you are a tourist, no one likes you. -All five Great Lakes belong to Michigan. Ontario included. Which is why Michigan is also called the “Great Lakes State”. Deal with it. -An Asian Carp’s dream home. -Therefore, Asian Carp are a [Michigander]/[Michiganian]’s greatest fear (other than running out of beer and deer to hunt). -There is only one sports rivalry that matters: University of Michigan and Michigan State. -Nobody in Michigan can drive worth a damn unless there’s snow on the ground. But even if there is snow on the ground, one should drive cautiously; this excludes douche bags with trucks. They quickly end up in the ditches. -[Detroit]… just… sucks. Anyone who lives outside Detroit considers it it’s own state. It’s often referred to as “Un-Michigan” or “Red Wings Land”. -Without Detroit, Michigan would be much further down on the obesity and crime lists. -See also: [Canada].

A Midwestern state with two count em two peninsulas. There are some awesome cities here such as my hometown Ann Arbor. The weather may be incredibly unpredictable, but winters are fun (for the first few weeks before the slush comes in late February) and the 5 great lakes are always fun in the summer. We are all very friendly people. Plus several movies have been shot here because of the low taxes. So like michigan is AWESOME.

everyone's definitions are completely false. i live in michigan and most of what everyone's saying is based on the northern part of it. up north IS ugly, every time we go to our cottage i get really freaked out by all the hicks. but where i live (oakland county) it's an absolutely gorgeous state. every few miles there's another beautiful lake and the summers are never boring because EVERYONE has a boat.

1. michiganders DO have accents. we pronounce our t's in the middle of words like "city" and "cottage" as d's (ciddy, coddage) and most of the time the t's at the end of words are dropped when we talk. we pronounce our a's in a very nasally tone like "that" is th-yaat, "bathroom" b-yaaathroom, and so on. 2. detroit is NOT that bad\! there are some very nice parts of it but also very bad places.

A state with constant weather changes, like you never knew could exist. it can be warm like summer one day, and freezing cold the next. There is hardly anything to do in this state unless you live in the Upper Peninsula (abbreviated to become U.P., not to be confused with the famous disney movie [up]. They are called [yoopers], not U.P.ers.) and you are an adventurous person willing to camp outside and/or snowboard constantly for entertainment.

It's a state of bitter, cocksure alcoholic former blue-collar laborers who can't find decent jobs because Michigan is an economic black-hole. It snows alot, and when it doesn't snow it's extremely fucking hot or ball-shrinkingly cold. Crime runs rampant in its urban centers and life just plain sucks in its small towns due to boredom. There are a lot of lakes, dunes and forests, but people from Michigan couldn't give two fucks about them because they are everywhere, and Michiganders have better things to do like drink and worry about paying bills they have no money for. Naturally, morons from out of state flock in droves to look at things that really aren't that interesting. Michiganders are divided into two groups: Michiganders and Yoopers. Michiganders are like as described before. Yoopers are essentially Canadians, and basically not human. The only thing a Michigander hates more than other Americans and foreigners are Yoopers. Yoopers are too stupid and inbred to consider hating anyone else because they live happy-go-lucky lives as lumberjacks and have sex with their sisters and occasionally a beaver. Yoopers are very proud of themselves despite having little to be proud of, and call southerners "trolls" because they live "under da bridge, don'tcha know." Michiganders seethe with rage about this, but can't do anything about it because the logic is infallible in a retarded sort of way, and also beating up a Yooper is much like striking a child; fun, but frowned upon.

Michigander: "What the fuck are you so happy about?" Californian: "I live in a state with nice weather and jobs." Michigander: "Go fuck yourself\!" Yooper: *unintellible sing-songy nonsense that sounds like Canadian* Michigander: "Goddamn Yoopers."

The Wolverine State. The capital of the Rust Belt. A Great Lakes state of the Upper Midwest, where the weather changes faster than a NY prostitute. The weather sucks big time. It's too cold for much of the year and too humid in the summer. It is not uncommon in anywhere in Michigan to get some snow in May. It can be 70-degrees one day and in the 50s and rainy the next. The skies are gray with overcast much of the time, making Michigan one of the states with the least amount of sunshine. It currently ranks 8th in population with almost 10 million people, but will be passed soon by Georgia and North Carolina. Lansing is the capital and Detroit is its largest city. Other important population centers include Grand Rapids, Flint, Kalamazoo-Battle Creek and Ann Arbor. About half of the state lives in the Detroit metro area. If you think your state has problems, try coming here. Michigan has serious problems and is experiencing a "one state" recession compared to the rest of the U.S., because it is controlled by the corrupt and anitquated labor unions of the auto industry, such as the UAW, and their Democrat money. It has refused to diverisfy its economy by placing all of its economic eggs in this industry alone. This has produced devastating effects: Michigan and Detroit have become the capital of the Rust Belt; the most job losses of any state and the highest unemployment rate as plants close, downsize or move to Mexico; people then move south or file for unemployment or transfer to plants out of state; the nation’s highest number of foreclosures; and a decline in population as people move elsewhere to find work. Things have gotten so bad for many of Michigan’s cities, that Governor Jennifer Granholm initiated a failed “cool cities” initiative to attract young folk back to its cities. It will never work because once Michiganders graduate from college, they usually leave this place. Who could blame them? Outside its cornfields and declining Rust Belt cities, Michigan has some nice places, mostly in the far north Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula (which should belong to Wisconsin). The state is generally Dull with a capital-D with not much to do. However, Mackinac Island (pronounced MAC-IN-AW)is popular in the summer. Frankenmuth has the world's largest Christmas store and Detroit is only good for going to casinos and bars. OK, so Dearborn (a Detroit suburb) has Greenfield Village and Detroit is four professional sport teams, but the rest of the city is an urban nightmare and should almost be avoided at all costs. Most Michiganders love to escape their "downstate" urban hell for their cabins or summer homes in Northern Michigan. Northern Michigan is good for hunting, fishing, skiing and going to the lake. Michiganders talk with a funny accent that resembles a northern dialect heard in Wisconsin, Minnesota or Ontario. Michiganders can't drive worth a damb and usually speed on the freeway as if they were in the Indy 500. Other than that, Michiganders have Midwest values and are generally friendly when compared to either coast.

Michigan is generally dull with not many good paying jobs anymore, but it is NOT the worst state to live in compared to those Great Plains States.

The Great Lakes state. The Wolverine state. Located in the Upper Great Lakes region of the Midwest between 4 of the 5 Great Lakes. The weather sucks. It's too cold for much of the year and too humid in the summer. It is not uncommon in anywhere in Michigan to get some snow in May. There is hardly any sunlight. It's gray and overcast much of the time. If you want sunlight, go elsewhere. It ranks 8th in population with almost 10 million people but soon to be overshadowed by Georgia and North Carolina. Lansing is the capital and Detroit is its largest city. Other important population centers include Grand Rapids, Flint, Kalamazoo-Battle Creek and Ann Arbor. About half of the state lives in the Detroit metro area. If you think your state sucks then look at this state. It has real problems. It was built on the auto industry and you can thank its large and antiquated labor unions such as the UAW and its Democrat money for ruining this state's economy. It has put all of its economic eggs in one basket (the auto industry) and has refused to diversify its economy. This has produced devastating effects: the brain drain, MI and Detroit has become the capital of the Rust Belt, Detroit is the fastest shrinking city in the country, Detroit and Michigan have lost the most jobs, has the country’s highest unemployment, the nation’s highest number of foreclosures and Detroit has more abandones strcutures than any U.S. city. Detroit’s “Big Three” have not been able to compete with the Japanese and have been responsible for many of Michigan’s layoffs. Buick once called Flint home but no more. Ransom Olds (Oldsmobile) used to call Lansing home, but no more. These companies closed up shop years ago and will NEVER return. Don’t get me started on the problems the auto industry has caused Detroit and most important MI cities: job losses, a population exodus, crime and blight. Comerica, a large bank even recently moved its HQ from Detroit to Texas. Detroit has lost over half of its population and is no longer one of America’s top ten largest cities. It will soon be passed in population by Indianapolis, Jacksonville Columbus and Austin. Detroit has become hell’s largest suburb and its corporate headquarters. These are the facts and if Michiganders don’t like then it’s time to change things. Things have gotten so bad for many of Michigan’s cities that Governor Jennifer Granholm initiated a failed “cool cities” initiative to attract young folk back to its cities. It will never work becuase once Michiganders graduate from college they usually leave this place. Who could blame them? MI ranks high in agriculture production. Its largest agricultural products include cherries (Traverse City is the world’s cherry capital), Christmas trees, dairy products and cereal (Kellogs is based in Battle Creek). The typical Michigan accent resembles a dialect from Wisconsin, Minnesota or Ontario. Words like “can” are pronounced as KEN. “Hike, bike and kite” are pronounced as HOYK, BOYK and KOYT. Even simple words like “milk” are pronounced as MELK. Many college football fans are divided in loyalty between the Michigan State Spartans and UM Wolverines. If you’re form Ohio, don’t dare come up to MI and insult the Wolverines. You will likely end up with a black eye, split lip or a busted tooth. This is a state where retired auto industry workers move to the Sun Belt or Northern Michigan for its outdoor opportunities in hunting, fishing, skiing or even snowmobiling. Michiganders will often make weekend trips to cabins or vacation homes in Northern Michigan. Many of its old farts in the north can't drive worth a dam. Some places are nice to visit. Mackinac Island (pronounced MAK-IN-AW) is popular. The world's largest Christmas store is located in Frankenmuth, known for its German heritage. Michigan should just seceed from the U.S and become part of Ontario. There is nothing good about it unless you like being without a job. Michigan sucks in general and it is not surprising that its people are leaving for greener pastures. I hate Michigan and am glad I moved out. I should have moved out earlier. Michigan sucks and deserves its title as the capital of the Rust Belt.

Michigan is the only state in the United States of America where the majority of men are fags that would much rather blow another guy or take it in the ass than they would bang a hot chick, though you really can't blame them as the majority of women from there are fat ass pigs that usually wear flannel shirts and don,t shave their nasty crotch which often confuse the many queer lumberjacks because it looks so like the undergrowth of a uncut forest. All in all a state that should belong in Canada.

Dude, I was driving along and I found myself in Michigan and every woman there looked like a dude and every dude wanted to blow me or have me fuck em in the ass \!\! Stay away from Michigan \!\!

The welcome sign says, "Welcome to Michigan. Great Lakes. Great Times." I don't know why because there isn't much to do or see. Hunting, yes. Fishing, yes. Ice fishing, yes. And Sometimes snow skiing. Then there is the world's largest Christmas store in Frankenmuth, Greenfield Village in suburban Detroit and Mackinac Island (pronounced MAK-IN-AW) in northern Michigan, which is only good in the summer. Does all this qualify as something to do? Not in my opinion, but that's just me. Generally Michigan is a boring state to live in. No culture. No diversity, unless wiggers, hicks and white suburban yuppies count. No mountains. No amusement parks. No beaches or hot women in bikinis, except in the far south if you like polluted Lake Michigan. No awsome shopping opportunites like Chicago, Seattle or San Fran. There aren't many high-paying jobs either--at least not as many as there used to be because they all went to the Sun Belt or Mexico. Most people, IF they have a job, work in auto assembly plants downstate. The rest are either hick farmers and low-paying service workers. You will be looking for a long time to find work in this state. It should be part of Ontario. Michigan is not a very good state but, in fairness, is not the worst either. That would go to one of those Great Plains or Redneck States.

The biggest mistake I ever made was not moving out of Michigan sooner.

1. the capital of the rustbelt 2. a place one will rarely find a job. The ones that are there are leaving soon. 3. its largest city is Detroit where its population is leaving by the droves. 4. its good if you like skiing, snowmobiling, fishing or hunting 5. too many rednecks in the northern part of the state 6. land of decaying, industrial towns of all sizes that are overpopulated with old-fart-GM retirees who dont know how to drive worth a dam 7. Their idiotic northern accent drives me nuts. Dont know how to pronounce simple words like hike,like bike, milk or can. Hike, like and bike are pronounced "hoyk" "loyk" and "boyk." Milk is pronounced "melk" and can is pronounced "ken"

Michigan sucks and has absolutely no hope whatsoever.

O-H I-O. "We don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan, weeeeeeeeeee're from OHIO\!"

1. A northern state of the U.S. 2. Pot-hole country. 3. Could be the only state where seeing trailer trash isn't a repulsive sight to most. 4. A state where a lot of people have mucus in their throats do to "dampness in the air"(?) 5. No real fun is had here. When you consider that it's the home of Detriot (arm-pit of this nation), What can a person expect? 6. One state where the generalizing phrase "People are stupid" is said so much it becomes commonplace. Often the people who says that are talking about themselves. At least one would hope so, for honesty's sake.

1. Similar to Maine. 2. "I just ran through four pot-hole driving down Beech Daly...better check for a flat when I get home..." 3. "Bill and Keith have bad teeth and stink, but they know how to have a good time." 4. "*cough cough cough ahem cough ahem AHEM cough cough*"... all year 'round. 5. A party themed around a has-been like Bon Jovi is considered a blast around here. 6. "Look at his method of doing his job. God, people are stupid." The speaker goes off to have a cigarette.
