The best state in the USA. The land is lush, the mountains are amazing, and the rain is the best scent you'll ever experience. The summers are amazing--quite warm, but never muggy--and the winters are the perfect time to go skiing on one of Oregon's many amazing mountains\! Oregonians are quite proud of their heritage when encountered on the east coast and take very personally when east coasters pronounce their state incorrectly. P.S.\oregonOregonians can pronounce Nevada correctly, too.

I want to go to Oregon NOW\!\!

I am writing this in response to all the horrible mistakes people have written about oregon. 1st we hate californians because they move here and raise the price of houses and clutter up our street, and they can't drive, and not be cause we were them. 2nd. what kind of moron thinks that Eugene is the capital? It's salem you loser look at a map. 3rd We are fans of 2 colleges Oregon State and University of Oregon. Oregon State's colors are not green and yellow as some genious sugested in their definition. Oregon State's colors are Orange and Black. University of Oregons colors are green and yellow. Oregon Rocks, we have everything. Beaches, Mountains, Rivers, and people who pump our gas for us.

I'm so glad i live in oregon where i know how to drive, and i know how to read a map and people pump my gas for me.

One of the most kickass states in the USA. Fewer crimes,friendlier people,not heavily populated,lots of pretty wooded and country area which unfortunatly can be hideouts for criminals and loons. Also many famous people have been to oregon to shoot movies and have homes built ((I hear [Bruce Campbell] lives in Medford Oregon.))

Screw any state thats not oregon\!

State in the USA. Some cool things about Oregon: Fir trees. Heavenly rain that's good for you in many ways. Fir trees. Wood, lots of it. Oregon marionberry. Mt Hood, great place for snow related sports. Fir trees. Tillamook Creamery. Portland: very unusually clean & friendly city. No sales tax\!\!\! Fir trees. Gasoline is graciously pumped for you, stay in the car. Pendelton round-up (rodeo). Excellent farm land. Fir trees. Crater lake. Fir trees. Fir trees. Did I mention that there's lots of fir trees in Oregon? Oregon is pronounced similar to carbon, not polygon. Or-eh-gun. Oregon suffers from a moderately poor economy, however nobody really notices it because there's so many services, and so many other cool things about Oregon that you'd never care if it did effect you, unless you're a Californian by heart. However, I'm obligated to say that Oregon REALLY sucks, so you won't move in.

A state where everyone moves to to get away from other states that they don't like. Oregon is very schizophrenic in that it has all those hippies but also some of the most conservative people anywhere. All Oregonians, though, seem to share at least some things in common. One is a love of the outdoors. The other is a generally non violent nature. A third is a a lack of fascination with getting rich. And they don't care if you don't like the weather or think they are boring, or think they are "wannabee Seattle". They're just happy they moved here because things sucked where they were. Oregon is still mostly unspoiled and beautiful, but it lacks any "old world" charm if you like that. Its not so different from California or Washington anymore, although the older natives still prefer to think of it as "special". Its greatest charm lies in the Willamette Valley, the coast, and the Columbia River Gorge. Its greatest disappointment lies in the over logged mountains that seldom get very tall or seem grand like real mountains should. Another disappoinment is the encroaching strip malls and developments that ring the Portand area and larger towns. Oregon's weather can be divided into two "seasons" - warm and sunny, or cool and cloudy. From July to December, it progresses in an orderly fashion from the first to the second. From January to June, it doesn't. Although the November rains bother some, they are at least relatively warm and predicable. The April-June rains on the other hand, are cold and unpredicable. By June, you are often living under conditions that are colder than almost anywhere else in the country, then suddenly it is 100 degrees almost overnight. And after hot July and August, beautiful and almost perfect September, the October rains are not as unwelcome as you might think. Oregon is a state of intense contrast like the spring weather. Hot and cool. Liberal and conservative. Just don't move here if you a) don't like the outdoors, b) want to get rich or c) think that the state is filled with nothing but hicks and dirty hippies.

Best place ever. Every other state sucks. Its not raciest and not boring. Its fun. Its hot for 3 months of the year. Great things to do. The only place with year round snowbording in the united states. Great places to go swimming at, snowbording, skining, skating. Has the only underage gay night club on the west cost. Has 2 stupid football teams.

Oregon is the home of the Beavers(Oregon State) and the Ducks (University of Oregon). We have huge amounts of microbreweries, friendly people, a lack of a sales tax, death with dignity act(assisted suicide), a law against pumping one's own gas, Yippies, Conservatives, Hippies, and copious amounts of meth addicts and pot lovers. We dislike Californians, especially those from the Bay Area,or..Ashland.. they raise property rates and pretend they know nothing about the state they are truly from because they know they'd get shunned if people really knew they were Californian, but true Oregonians can tell. Most people are fairly friendly though. We like our rain, trees, and decent driving skills. We are mostly pale, but what do you expect? We are freethinkers, peace lovers, innovative, caring, never sways much of one way or the other kinds of people...and we like it that way.

The best state in the whole nation. People are nice, pump your gas for you, and don't make you pay a sales tax. People complain because our speed limits are lower here. If they could actually drive (i.e., if they weren't from California), they wouldn't care.

California: crappy drivers, bad attitudes, and insane price of living. Oregon: none of the above.

The best state of all fifty states, or territories. More tree's in eye sight then there is buildings, where you can swim in the ocean without a plastic bag washing on shore next to you. Where you can go from rain forest, to desert in a few hours drive. I know we seem mean on here, but that is because we dont want anymore people moving here, making more buildings and houses which means destroying more forests. We love our coast, and we LOVE our tree's and come hell or high water were keeping it the way it is.

Come and spend your money, then GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR STATE\! I mean it, we like your tourist dollars, but we dont want you, most of our families came across the Oregon trail, we earned our place here, you didnt, so leave.

to me beauty of nature shouldnt be defined as sun all the time or what beauty in a polaroid picture would look like, and oregon isnt. yes it happens to rain a lot in Oregon, which causes mud. but its the rain, the mud, the trees, the grass, the animals, etc. that make Oregon full of nature. which is true beauty. Some people on here said oregon only has two places you can visit and then whoo hoo your done, UMM FALSE only a not true oregonian could say that. Oregon has so many cool places to go to that arent always listed on maps or computers, but thats what the cool thing is, take one day to just go around and expore oregon and you'll be interested. Theres more places than moultnomah falls and the columbia river gourge. While many states have their skyscrapers and city lights, Oregon has its mountains and trees and can actually see stars at nighttime because theres no bad polution. You'll also find a wide variety of people in oregon, and you'll meet some of the most awesomest too. You cant judge oregon and say that its ugly and that it has no things to see when you you mayb eglanced out the window and saw trees or the columbia river, tke the time to exlpore before you judge. its one thing to look at a hill covered in trees than to actually climb the hill. And what i mean is in oregon you'll see the columbia gourge maybe but once you go on the hikes there and see all the animals and the beauty of the place you'll get a whole new perspective. Trust me.

theres that beautiful state full of nature with stars that fill the night sky durring the night and the clouds that surround the mountains high on the horizon durring the day. animals all around. oregon is where some of the TRUE nature is at.

Okay, I just have to clarify something. Oregon is beautiful and lush, but the summers are NIGHTMARES. Hot and humid and gross. You're either a hipster, poor, or filthy rich. And Portland is really gross and filled with homeless drug addicts and more hipsters. Barely any TV shows and/or movies take place here, and we have been called by Stephen Colbert "California's Canada". AKA, no one cares. Well, we do have Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, to be proud of. Remember, this is all coming from a person who lives in West Linn, Oregon. I know.

The best state in the U.S. Californians hates us but that just because their state is full of fags and it’s is governed by a fucking movie actor. We have amazingly hot women and the best scenic views you could ever see. The only reason we are racist is because Mexicans realize that Oregon has allot of jobs. We have the best skiing and snowboarding in America. People from all over America come to the Columbia George to wind surf. You can come to visit but don’t move it. o, and we pronounce it ORY-GUN not ORY-gone you dumbasses.

Either the greatest or worst state in the US, depending on your point of view. On one hand it's full of liberals and hippies and youth, dominating cities like Portland, Eugene, and Ashland. All the other cities are generally conservative (ie shit hole Salem) I can only speak for the liberal part of Oregon (which is a bit of a bubble), which I have a love hate relationship with. Love because there's definitely a very special sort of Oreogn person (laid-back, adventurous, outdoorsy, artistic) that you can't find anywhere else. Hate because the racial hypocricracy. These people preach diversity and tolerance but then ignore all of the racial problems in Oregon and instead focus on the enviornment. I think everyone who classifies themselves as the 'Oregon Liberal' should really take a hard look around them (the lack of diversity, ignorant racial comments) and focus some of their time and energy on racial problems that are rampid in Oregon\!

Everyone talks to you, whether you want them to or not. You'll always see someone biking, even if its raining outside which it probably is. There's tons of local co-ops full of tofu brownies and old stoners with huge beards. Schools that aren't funded, trees, and hippies. That's a normal city.

1. Keep Portland and Oregon WEIRD. Check, the place is full of weirdos, especially in Portland, Eugene, and Ashland, to name a few choice spots. We'll riot over anything. We'll break windows, close the freeways, fight you, spit on you, whatever, because our point of view is correct and everyone else sucks, including you. 2. Drive 10-15 mph under the speed-limit. Check. Two roads have speed limits of 65, I-5 and I-84. Everything else is 50 or under, with most roads being between 25-40 mph. Ah, but the traffic here isn't as bad as it is in L.A. or SF. That's right, but when it takes you 30 minutes to go 12 miles or less, you have to wonder what is up. Of course, these single-lane roads with the locals driving 10-15 mph under the speed limit ain't helpin'. Basically, everything crawls here. You aren't going anywhere. Besides, we don't like cars. In fact, we have SUV's so much, we have been known to vandalize them and torch them in both Portland and Eugene. What do you think of that, skippy? 3. We are proud of our extremist politics\! Check. People here claim that there is a rift between right and left. That's not true. The Left runs the show. They control the state house and senate, the governor's office, the Judiciary, and most executive offices such as the AG and Sec'y of State, etc. Additionally, they control all of the cities, oops, I meant city. There really is only one city here. That would be podunkland, er, uh, portland. Where's the right? Oh, you mean those "simple" people out on the other side of the mountains? Well, they may be hillbillies, but they are hardly right-wing extremists. The only extremism that exists here is Left-wing extremism, and Oregon is known for this brand of politics. And let's not talk about political correctness. Don't even think of mentioning the word "illegal alien." They are "Hispanics." Of course, I wonder what the citizen Hispanics would think of being grouped in with "illegal aliens." Doubt anyone has bothered to ask, because at the end of it all, no one here really gives a damn about anyone but themselves. They only give a damn about their politics and forcing their values, beliefs and politics down your throat. Welcome to Oregon. The simple retort, however, is a hearty SCREW YOU\! 4. Don't mess with us. Check. Your neighbors and police will watch you here like a hawk. No criminal record required. It isn't enough that you to do your share by working hard and raising your kids to be respectful of others as well as themselves, but you have to deal with neighbors that watch you. You may never see these neighbors, because as alluded to above, people live indoors here. They are so used to being inside all the time that even when the temp is a balmy 80 degrees on a sunny day (rare, I know), people still don't come out. 5. Road Rage. Check, yeah, we have that. Everyone here will flip you off, including little old ladies. Don't screw with us, man. We aren't afraid of anything. Of course you have never had someone pull a gun out on you and scare the living crap out of you. This is a socialist utopia here. That stuff doesn't happen. And people scratch their heads when it does? No clue of the real world exists here. Everything you see isn't real. It may be real to those trying to create it here, but it isn't real outside of the Pacific Northwest. 6. We are "green." Everything here is about how "green" you are, even living in a crapbox house that you wouldn't find in any other part of the country. You are squeezed onto a tiny parcel of land in a house that is so poorly built that your frame will probably rot. And the price of this? Well, you'll need about a good $350k to START. Bear in mind, there are no geographic limitations here causing people to pack themselves in like little rats (unlike say, NYC, SF, New Orleans, etc). It's all government forced because we are trying to "preserve" farms and greenspace. Nevermind the fact that many farmers would be happy to sell their land. Well, that is socially undesirable, so we aren't going to let that happen. We don't believe in private property here. Your property is our property. If you don't like it, leave. -Signed, your Oregon governments\! 7. We don't like alcohol here. Check. Oregon makes it so difficult to get booze as to make it practically banned. I have to drive 5 miles to go get any alcohol other than beer and wine. (Let us not forget that there is great hostility here towards automobiles, so the argument would be that I shouldn't be drinking the stuff - that way I could save the environment while saving myself. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.) In a 10 mile radius of me, I know of 2 liquor stores. These stores have limited hours and all of their booze come from a single state warehouse in some backwater of Oregon. That would be Salem. The result of this? Extremely high prices, and if you don't go out at the right time, you are SOL. You better hope Christmas doesn't fall on a Saturday because if it does, you are in trouble. The store will close very early on Friday, will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, thus leaving you with a dry weekend. Idiots. 8. Speaking of Christmas, we don't celebrate that here. Check. The only Christmas celebration will be the one in your crappy house or meth-infested apartment. That's right. I've actually encountered people who say "Happy Winter Solstice." Funny, these same people don't say "Happy Summer Solstice." I wonder why. Could it be that they are trying to make a political statement around Christmas time? Nah, not here. Only extremists would do that and we don't have any of that foolishness here. 9. Speaking of meth, the meth is so bad here that if you need pseudoephedrine, you can't get it without a doctor's prescription. And when you do get the rx, the price of the drug is double to triple what it would cost in the free-flowing markets that you would find just to the north or south. (For those of you unsure where Oregon actually is, that would be Washington and California.) At my local pharmacies down in California, I have had both of my pharmacists come right out and tell me about the weirdos from Oregon showing up trying to score ephedrine for their meth operations. Shows you how bad the problem is here and how restrictive the government is willing to be to deal with it. Pay no attention to the fact that 99% of the population is not making meth, we, the state who knows what is best for you, are going to regulate the crap out of all of you. Thanks for giving us the authority to do so - whether you like it or not. In fact, we used to have 20 mph school zones that operated 24/7/365\! Oh, happy days. 10. But our natural beauty is so great. Check, but don't partake unless you like to ski. The ocean? You can't swim in it as it is too cold. The gorge, ditto, plus there is very little sun up in there. And once you have seen these places once, when you can see them as in when it is not raining 200 days out of the year, you've seen it all. Next? Oh, wait, there is no next. Of course, there's always meth to pass the days. 10. We like the idea of safe communities. Check. Well, the roads are safe. It's a freaking police state, especially in the Portland area. They'll write you $350 tickets all day long, but have a police emergency because of the white-punk, Mexican gangs or some other group screwing with you, "sorry, no law enforcement immediately available for that." You better drive 10-15 mph under the speed limit, or you may find yourself facing a suspension and rather quickly. 11. You can always visit Seattle. Check, lots of things to do up there, but, you see, we hate Seattle. We hate everything not Oregon. We pride ourselves on not being Seattle, SF or Los Angeles. Left to your volition, the Willamette Valley would be paved, and we'd be no different than L.A. Yeah, right, dude\! Of course you need about 16 million people wanting to live here first. Last I counted, the Portland metro area had 1.9 million, not including Salem. Yep, you are on your way to a metropolis. Oh boy, I can hardly wait. If you think North Korea is a Hermit Kingdom, you haven't seen Oregon. The only difference between the two is that at least you can leave Oregon whenever you want to. Of course, the State is working on a plan to put a GPS tracking device in every car in Oregon. Why? Not enough gas taxes, and these fuel-efficient cars are driving us nuts. WE NEED MORE MONEY. So we will tax you by the mile, but "we promise not to track where you are driving or when." Really, we promise. Yeah, right dude.

Oregon is hard living, man.

Home of those most [pretentious], [ignorant] people in the [United States]. Everyone from this State are [hippies] who ruined their state's economy by putting proud, third generation Lumberjacks out of business who were forced out of their homes so a few spotted Owls didn't have to adapt to living in Smaller trees, instead of big ones.(Which they did anyway). The whole state is now just a third-rate [Silicon Valley]. Secondly, People from Oregon hurt my eyes, due to the rain/lack of sunshine they are the palest, lily-white people on the planet. It's also the worst place in the world to visit. If people wanted to go the beaches/ocean, they would go to [San Diego] where the water is warm enough to swim in, and if they wanted to see Trees they would go to the mountains if they live in ANY major [city] in the southwest IE: [Las Vegas], [Phoenix], etc, etc. There is nothing good about Oregon, so stop coming here and pretending like your shit doesn't stink.

Oregonians: Save the Owls, we are forcing them out of their homes by cutting down the trees\!\! Who cares if we force thousands of lumberjacks to go out of business and make them, and their families to be forced out of their homes\!

1. California's fifth largest county. 2. Home of the world’s tallest trailer, rain, the loudest chain saw, rain, the largest spruce-bark canoe, and more rain. 3. Place where mighty college mascots are a beaver and a duck. 4. Place where disgruntled “southern” Californians from the Bay Area, tired of freedom and proud of their very tiny miniscule carbon footprints, reside in perfect blissful intolerance with the other [player hater], [ecofascism], [tweaker], [drugslut], [hedonist] [hippies]. Memo to other Oregon definition writers: THIS IS NOT A TRAVEL GUIDE…SO STOP LYING\!\!\! Consider the Oregon County Credo: “When people attempt to rebel against the iron laws of nature, they come into conflict with the very same principles to which they owe their existence as human beings. Their actions against nature must lead to their own downfall.” (Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, 1925) Disguised as grandparents, rich preppy snobs, techno-wankers, and assorted corporate suckups, they feed upon the blood of the free and fun-loving, by passing laws that force you to have a certified professional pump your gas, a city planner to make you take care of your property a certain way, and 10 times the number of bike racks needed for each private business. Hairy-armpit-hos, showerless emo-grungers, and wigged out wookie stooges continuously protest against freedom, much to the approval of the corporations in the service industry and the blood-sucking we-know-whats-good-for-you-bullies. Their pending legislation and lack of infrastructure development will soon force car owners to either drive a Yugo-type hybrid or subjugate themselves to mass transit and living in 2 bedroom townhomes. The native Oregonian is practically extinct due to the massive influx of rodent-like sheep-people that spawn like rabbits and take advantage of the laws that extend health care, day care, hair care, bus fair and any other right not covered in any constitution anywhere. My family has lived in Oregon for three generations and I will be leaving for good once I graduate from High School.

Oregon used to be a nice place to live now out of my way so I can get out of here\!

Once called the Oregon territory which also spread into present day Idaho, and Washington up to the 49th. One of the most sparsly populated states in America. Forestry, Tourism, and Hi Tech manufacturing are the backbone of the economy. Oregon has one of the most regimented and well organized recycling programs in the nation. Largest city is Portland and greater area. Eugene is the capital.

By far the best example of what America has to offer from what I have seen. The landscape is breathtaking and majestic as well as unspoiled. Being from British Columbia in Canada I appreciate such things. Portland Oregon is a world class city with clean streets, great pubs, good public transportation and attractive ladies.

An economically-damaged state where many morons actually move in. Aren't they aware of Oregon's economy and how hard it is to get a job? An overall boring state that's probably good for snowboarders and skiers, but for everyone else, it really sucks. Don't move here. It's a state where boredom would eat away at you like a skin disease.

People say I should move to California. Maybe I'll take that under advisement.

A place where there is nothing but green and trees. During winter it does nothing but rain, summer its warm, but not muggy. It stops raining for about 3 months of the year. Oregon also is one of the biggest racist states in the US. Also everyone just sits around and are complete hippies. Hicks and Hippies rule Oregon. Also Oregonians hate California people. I wouldn't recommend coming to OREGON.

Oregon is the worst state in the union. Since it cannot be Washington or California, it has decided to earn distinction by being ugly to the rest of the world. Oregon has rain for 9 months of the year and dusty, unbearable heat for 3 months. It has the third worst air quality in the US according to the EPA, usually the worst economy in the nation as measured by the unemployment rate and the most insular, unfriendly people in the country as evidenced by the comments made by those who claim to be thumbs up on Oregon. Having stolen land from the indigenous people, 'Oregonians' still put up 'stay out' signs on the state except that the terrible job losses (lumber, fisheries) over the last few decades have made such an attitude much less popular. This 'stay out' mentality is simply the admission of failure on the part of the state to remember that is relies on the rest of the nation to feed it jobs. Most companies, quite reasonably, say no to Oregon. Many people are quite astonished to see that parking lots empty out before 5 because Oregonians do not believe in long hours devoted to work. There is something in the state which saps the work ethic out of so many people which is very bad for business. Frankly, Oregon does the rest of the world a favor by looking so unfriendly and so unwelcoming to 'foreigners' because it is. Outside of Metropolitan Portland and other minor pockets, Oregon is a state so flaming red that it belongs inside Mississippi. Minorities are actually told by real estate agents that living in communities a few miles outside of Portland would be 'uncomfortable' for them. This is actually said, with a straight face in this century\! Oregon enjoys all of the red state deficiencies: racism, bigotry, xenophobia, regressiveness and ignorance but little of the good gumbo and sunshine. Oregon also isn't beautiful, it's gray and cold and damp most days which is why the majority of people live their entire lives indoors. The picture of people 'enjoying' the great outdoors only exists in the one month of the year when the rain has stopped and the mud has dried but the intense heat and yellow dust haven't yet appeared. That's it. The rest of the year requires A/C and heating which have become hugely expensive. When Oregonians claim they live a robust outdoor life, ask them why they do not have a natural tan. Oregon has virtually no tourist attractions unless you like staring at pine trees day after day. After you see Multnomah falls, the Columbia river gorge and the spindly Rose Garden...you're done. BTW roses do not grow well here even though Portland claims to be the rose city. It should more aptly be named the algae or moss or mud city as all are widely available along with household solutions for their eradication. Also contrary to popular belief, Oregonians are at constant war with nature putting up depressing vinyl suburbs with vinyl decks and vinyl fencing on the tiniest lots imaginable...everywhere. Do not be fooled by the idea of cheap housing...you get what you pay for. Try Googling Oregon Sucks or Portland Sucks or Tigard Sucks and you will understand the truth about the state. It's important to understand the truth before you actually move here because then you'll be stuck writing things like this in order to keep from beating your brains out with a frozen salmon. There is a reason why such a large state has so few people...if Oregon doesn't kill you, it will make you wish you were dead.

Living in Oregon is like living inside a shower drain.
