Really? You're going to make an arguement based on some physical aspects of two plains states? You didn't even mention the Ozarks either... maybe the best part of the state. Your cherry picking wasn't even complete.

Wow, I've been beaten.

Kansas has Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia, the Flint Hills, the great plains... yay... both states have some cities and some plains and some farm land and some famous people who call it home.

Coastal dwellers are laughing at this whole arguement.

Not sure how you figure that.

Missouri is around 6 million people. 2.5 million live in the MO suburbs of St. Louis. 1 million live in the MO suburbs of Kansas City. 0.5 million live in the Springfield area.

Almost 70 percent of the state lives in a metropolitan area. That just SCREAMS rural.

You're right about Kansas, though. Get outside of Johnson County, and it's about as rural as it gets (save for the monstrous metropolis that is Wichita).

Most of Kansas is rural land... most of Missouri is rural land. Missouri has more people in bigger cities. I guess that's a bragging right for the purposes of this topic.

A lot larger chunk of the states of California, Texas, Florida, New York is metropolitan than any midwestern state... that's what I was saying basically. I doesn't matter. No one thinks of any "fly over" state as being metropolitan.

Well hell if we want to get in a pissing match Mizzou has Arrowhead,Kaufman,Busch,TWA,MCI,Sprint,The Arch.....

Actually I just stayed with stuff on I-70. I purposely overlooked the Ozarks etc... Also with the bolded part, so does Texas, does that make Texas and Kansas basically the same?

Actually people come to Missouri to vacation as well, Kansas they fly over. No one goes to Manhattan, KS unless

A. They go to KSU
B. They are in the Army and are stationed at Ft Riley.

Oh shit how could I forget,Mizzou has 5.0 beer too :D

Beautiful shot. Thanks for posting.

If you're a coyote

I didn't start that particular pissing match. I believe frazod started it in a round about way with his prarie pic then teddada wanted to talk about physical charactoristics between a couple of plains states and somehow I'm to guess that having a larger population, more metropolitan area and higher crime (remember the meth thing) is now a bragging right. More metro makes Missouri "better" I guess... however you want to define better.

Like I said earlier I knew this thread would be fun... or ignored. I was betting on fun though.

nice song. Can't wait to see Justice at Coachella.

I'm not sure if you get out of town much but that same scene exists a few miles away from your house.

This is what I mean by this physcial characteristic arguement being really lame.

Yes though Wickedson, I agree it's a beautiful shot.

OK I'll give ya this one.

:)

Living in the middle of concrete and steel day to day I can't tell you how much I miss walking outside on summer nights and watching sunsets over prairie.

Congrats. Missouri is right up there with Hawaii, Florida and California. Too touristy for me thank you.
