Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I absolutely LOVED California up towards Mount Shasta, and the countryside around Weed.

I don't partake, but I did pick up a stainless steel flask from Weed with the requisite decoration on the front of it, for my brother, when I passed through.

People everywhere north of Sacramento seemed like REALLY decent people.  I feel bad for 'em, being subject to LA and SF and Sacramento.

Hmmm.  My California result in the survey.

I guess it was the pattern of questions in this "survey's"  short form.  That's why I wondered if the long form had more relevant questions relating to the totality of what state would suit your "mood".  But the "survey" questions were not exhaustive, and just reflected what the designers felt were appropriate questions, based on their own limited outlook(s).

It's like asking what kind of ice cream you like in a survey and concluding from the responses that everybody likes ice cream.

If they had asked only one question about RKBA or spending more money than you take in, California could never have been the result for me.

But RKBA and spending issues were not even part of their mindset in designing the survey.

I know I'm taking this too seriously ("It's only the internet.") but  that California result really irked me.

North Dakota, apparently.

Thread Necro!

8 and a half-ish years on, and I guess I've softened some.  Now the calculator says I should live in Nebraska.  I remain skeptical.

I've got Georgia on my mind, or in my mind, who the hell knows for sure with this type of thing.

OK, I can get with that.

Hmm. Originally Montana, now Utah. At least it keeps me in a bordering state (though I was still in CA when I first took it).

I don't know about how they have Texas listed saying we are mildly temperamental and uninhibited.  Why don't they come here and say that to our face!   :mad:

 =D

The article says they used various online methods of recruiting people to participate.  Do you think that more or less filtered the type of people they looked at?
