We should just give the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Canada, because America doesn't really care about it anyway, amirite?

canada doesn't want it. i say give it to wisconsin.

I live in Michigan, so I know everyone hates the UP.

I used to live there. The people are disagreeable but its absolutely beautiful, like a real life Narnia or Terebithia, really.

I guess that's one way of saying it. The way I look at it, Michigan is just a winter wasteland with the worst economy in the country :)

Well yeah, in the winter it sucks, and the people are ignorant. But it's so fucking beautiful :P It's like the dumb hot girlfriend you see in the movies that the guy is only with for sex-- except no one knows about the girlfriend in this case.

Not really sure how you can make a generalization about the whole state's intelligence from being in the 8th grade. Although, if you lived in Detroit, you are right, those are some stupid fuckers right there. Where did you live?

Calumet. And I'm referring to the Upper Peninsula, you know what a Yooper is don't you?

Well I've never been that far up North, but according to Geography everyone up there is a miner or a logger so I guess they can't be too smart haha

Well yeah, lots of Copper Mining and Loggers. And people are just ignorant in general, real conservative hicks. And everyone has like 8-15 kids, the Bjorn family had 26.

Ya people up there don't really represent the state too well. They're just isolated hillbillies.

I don't care about it, I just don't want someone else to have it. I'm a true American.

I love the UP mostly for the wildlife and natural beauty it possesses. I don't want to give it up.

I live in Michigan, and even though our UP friends are not loved by everyone, they're still family.

Hey hey hey. I live just under the Mackinac Bridge and I ADORE the UP. It's so beautiful and there is SO much History, but then again I'm one of those weird homeschoolers who finds History exciting. So maybe that means Michiganders are more intelligent than you would all like to believe.

I used to live in the UP and i adore it too. I just moved to Kentucky though, the incest capital of the world. No offense Kentuckians, i only say that out of spite because i miss home and don't like the people in my city. Anyway, I find history exciting in a weird way too. Not so much like "OMG COPPER MINING" but just all the beautiful sites that are up there that they're too poor to break down. Random train-tracks and overgrown treehouses.....

THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO ALL MICHIGANDERS. No, I'm kidding. I'm not offended. But I love the UP!

I used to be a Michigander. I miss it ;_; But srzly, I'm pretty sure at least 85% of America doesnt even know the U.P. exists. Where I recently moved, only 3 teachers knew what Upper Michigan was; one used to live there, and the other was a social studies teacher.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

EPIC FAIL to your teachers haha yeah, that's true...i sorta wanna take a nationwide survey, "Do you know what the Upper Peninsula is?"

by Anonymous 13 years ago

ahhahaa so true! :) That'd probably be bad though, with that "only 20% of US citizens can locate America on a map" statistic....
