An Ounce of Gold posted:Those are the dumb people. It could just say dumb/ignorant, but they went with a political correct naming scheme. I assumed it meant that you had a bunch of different countries represented in your family. I've got Ukrainian, Finnish, and a smattering of French and Scottish, supposedly. Maybe more? We're bad at genealogy. It's all been pretty watered down at this point, so I'm basically just "sorta-jewy-looking white" with no cultural connection to any of them.

All you have to say is you have back or knee pain. Or just talk to anyone and get it cheap since we are right next to mexico.

If you're from Scandinavia and you came to the Upper Midwest, you'd probably find a lot of things familiar. This area was heavily settled by Scandinavians (particularly Norwegians and Swedes) and that really worked itself into the DNA of the culture out here.

Move to any of the states that border Colorado and you are in a place that is worse than Mississippi.

to bring this back around to the OP I guess we need to know how many serial murders he plans to commit in order to recommend a state. Also if you're doing a basement dungeon (europeans are WILD for this) some states have limestone and no basement availability

if you can't show up to your movie 40 mins early to get a giant tub of popcorn, and then get a good seat that's your problem.

You can say that, it's what you personally identify as or what you identify your national background as. If anyone complains they're probably an effeminate commie.
