Joke from a friend. Can you guess where he is from?

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what I've made." Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a particular spot that seemed to sparkle like a small jewel and asked, "What's that?" "Oregon, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and exquisite mountains. The people from Oregon are going to be satisfied, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found traveling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, but modest, hardworking, high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. They will be admired by all who come across them."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!" God nodded wisely, "Wait until you see the loudmouth, whiny-assed, arrogant piss-ants I'm putting next to them in California..."

Oregon is a TERRIBLE place to live.. We have extremely high crime rates and our residents are some of the rudest and disrespectful mother fuckers you'll ever meet.. Not to mention the cost of living up here is insane..

So, like, don't even think about moving here.. In fact, don't even visit!

Stay the fuck out of our state!

WOW Oregon is AWESOME! I'm gonna move there!

In Oregon there is "MEASURE 23" that provides Health Care for EVERYONE. Their battle cry is "EVERYBODY IN, NOBODY OUT"

http://www.healthcareforalloregon.org/

IF this measure passes, Oregon is going to be so over-run with freeloaders from all parts of the country that California is actually going to be a nice place to live, just like it was 300 years ago.

Can someone please send me a job application for the Oregon State Border Patrol? I have a feeling they will be hiring.

Oregon is NOT expensive to live in, except for all them taxes you gotta pay to get free health care! Everything comes at a price...convenient huh?

They're also going to have to increase the size of government when they have to setup border patrols to keep all the freeloaders from coming in to take advantage of all that free health care. If that free health care plan gets voted in, Oregon is going to define the term "welfare state". I pity those who work in that state if it passes
