n dakota is a total waste of a state that dude is right its a wasteland they have fargo with like the metro of a 100,000 then there is nothing else in the state if you look at some of their counties they are like populations of 700, 800, 1000, 2000 many of them thats not just funny its pathetic.
Hey Paul you sound like a pretty big redneck. Why don't you get off the couch and try to make a difference in your less then exciting state of Wisconsin. Oh yeah, you can also quit crying about Brett Favre leaving, for he's happy now in a real STATE!

I've been gone for more the 40 years,but I still tell people it's where I grew up. The NG pictures brought back a lot of memories. Sometimes you don't realize what you had untill it's gone. Sometimes I think I should have gone back just to raise my kid in a better environment.

I imagine the quality of people in North Dakota not unlike the good people of Minnesota not so long ago. It probably is a very decent state to reside in. MSP are going into a mult-pc-culti sh(t holes. Heck, I may move up there.

hmm, well to all the people who are on nat geo's side... stay there, we don't want you here anyway. North and South Dakota are the best kept secrets. Why do you think the Black Hills were confiscated? We have alot to offer. Just not to you. To all my fellow North Dakotans; live it up. someday they will invade after they pollute their habitat. breathe in the fresh, clean air, then laugh as you think about the smog or garbage the city folk are probably smelling, while they thank god for air freshner. Who cares what a national geographic reporter wrote, they obviously did pay cuts.

I finally read the NG article and didn't think it was offensive. Instead, I saw a rich history of the land and and the people who tried to tame it. Their hard work and struggle is part of the homesteader's story and we should all remember.

Why do we care what the people in la la land think? The Dakota's, MN, Neb, etc. know what we are and what we have. That's why we love the good old snow storms.- Keeps the "rif-raf" out.
That's why WE are laughing!!

Room to roam that's for sure. Me, I like bright lights and blonde-haired women over piano music and martini's, all stirred and shaken.:)

Strange, exotic state. Made for mystery stories about being stranded in a town on the interstate in winter when there's an ongoing series of deaths in the town. Call it "North Dakota Gothic."

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Scorpio

Something about your personality or appearance is drawing a lot of attention today, Scorpio. People insist on watching when you'd rather that they minded their own business. Your stubborn streak at a time when flexibility would be easier. Be kind to those with long memories, especially if you think you might run into them again at some point in your life. If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
