I'd say Nebraska - the Oklahoma panhandle is also extremely boring.

Boring in what way?

Politically, I'd say Delaware.

Boring as in "I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LITTLE THERE IS TO DO HERE", probably Nebraska.

Wow, huge no to that one. There are a lot of fun things to do in Ohio.

I would agree with the Nebraska crowd.

North Dakota

I like Nebraska. I remember camping their as a kid, and I liked to look out the window as we drove through.

Now, North Dakota on the other hand, is cold, and has nothing.

South Dakota is another matter entirely. Still cold, but it has Mt. Rushmore and, well, I guess that's about it... really every state should have at least one nice place to visit in it.

How many times have you been to Ohio, and where exactly did you go?

Also, Mike Naso is 15 and is still in school.  I think we can excuse his joblessness.

While I have certainly never been to Ohio, I'd never wish to go really. I drove through it and it was just so disgusting looking. I know plenty of people who have moved out of that sh*thole due to lack of jobs, political situation, etc.

The question was which was the most boring state in America, not ugliest or poorest, of which Ohio largely is neither.

I was going to go ahead and vote Nebraska, but I would have made the same mistake you did, as I have never been there to experience its lack of life.

Most boring small state: North Dakota
Most boring large state: Ohio

Ohio is a horrible state. For having so many people and so many large cities, it should be a lot better.

Geez, what is it with everyone saying North Dakota is boring?

It has:
-The International Peace Garden
-A giant turtle made out of old tires
-The tallest man-made structure on earth
-The geographic center of North America

The fact that an exciting man like Teddy Roosevelt would live here should be enought to show that it's not boring

My pick for the most boring state is Rhode Island. Just reading the state's official name (State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations) bores me

Florida has at least 3-4 better ones no doubt.

While I'm no fan of North Dakota and didn't like living there, I will point out that it does have some interesting historical sites.

Now while Nebraska has more things to do in Omaha and Lincoln, the rural part is even worse than the Dakotas. My brother went to college for one semester in Kearney, which is out in central Nebraska in the middle of nowhere (then he got homesick and came home and goes to a community college now). Anyway, here's any intersting fact I heard from him and my mom on tehir drive down there: There is actually a stretch of road (about 80 miles) where there are absolutely no towns and for a good portion you can not use a cell phone becuase there are no nearby towers, and there are no radio stations. Talk about empty. It's in Cherry county (that gigantic county on the north of the state that has barely any people in it).

Why all the hate for the plains? I personally find the wide open expansiveness wonderful. I'd love a place like Montana, ND or SD. I loved Kansas. Florida even has a bit of flat and wide open space.

Maybe there should be a most boring state overall, and a most boring state per capita?

From what i've heard in this thread, they'd be ND and OH. Although i've always thought MI would be pretty boring.
