I am ALOT more scared to walk anywhere in Mpls after dark, then in NYC -
Why ya' gotta single out the South man? :eek:~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

It's all those carpet baggers that came down here after the war of northern aggression.:D -
The real list should be by city. N.Y. vs. NYC are two different animals."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson

That list is B.S.!!! The top 5 are: NJ, RI, NY, IL, & MA.
NJ & RI are the top 2 because both states are run by the MAFIA!
And MA is run by the O'MAFIA!:DI refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE! -
Oh I don't know maybe because HALF of the 10 states listed are in the South????:D:eek:

not a squeak from the Floridians on board, I bet they are very content with their standing on the list.I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

Agreed I moved from Rhode Island 16 years ago, and Florida shouldn't be on the list but RI should be.
But then again look at the source. :rolleyes:

PA is the absolute worst. 20 years ago the State Treasurer committed suicide on TV as he was about to be indicted by the Feds for taking kickbacks. They still named a highway after him.Carl

No, I think the boys in Louisiana had that graft and corruption thing
down pat for a long time. And Last time I checked Bonnie and Clyde were Dallas homegrown!"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.

Wonder what the least corrupt state is. Wyoming? Utah?
-
Utah has the "Big Love" gangs.

If DC was a state, it would be #1.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

If DC was a state, it would be #1.
I suspect if DC were a country (and what a good idea that is. Can we expel it? Imagine watching a lot of congressmen trying to make a living by honest means) it would be in the top 25 or so of world rankings. -

The Dallas school district has to be the most corrupt system in the U.S.
Latest find, they were hiring people and assigning random social security
numbers. The last IS dept head is in jail. They had a school super
jailed for spending school money for a "love nest" with all the trimmings.
All school credit cards were cancelled last year after they were found
to have hundreds of bogus purchases on them. One had over $100k
of Ipods and other stuff on it. There was a head accountant that was
under investigation for a year for cooking the books by the FBI.
They coundn't figure out his system, so they just asked him to leave.
Same guy built a house with multiple $9999 cash payments to the builder
delivered in a paper bag. The former maint. head also built a house with
cash paper sacks. And it goes on and on. Boy, am I glad I live in Denton
county!"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -

And the tax payers foot the bill -
I can see why LOUISIANA is #1. Watch some stuff years back about the corrupted POLICE DEPT. They were doing all types of things from murder to drug trafficing making millions.
