California, no doubt.I hate that state, because of:
*Crime
*Stupid dialect
*Greedy people
*Stupid People
I probably am butt hurt over you insulting my state, meh. The man (corporations/big businesses and government) is f**king everything up royally, especially education. But the idea that you can only derive this minor and wildly common (everywhere in the world) bull shit and ridiculous bias as a legitimate argument makes me realize how easy of a target California is to the other states.... Frustrating. Its depressing, that some random ass can go on this long playing blind to the crap he spouts. Foolhardy ignorance of the fact that California has Silicon Valley, the pioneers and leaders of the electronic advancement in the 21st century, yet subject of your full focus of how "stupid this and that" we are. Stupidity is depressing.

Do you eat can food? Thing is, your eating rat feces and every now and then actual rats. Regulations are far from perfect. There are high chances that your processed foods contain bits of bugs and rodents in your foods, its not unknown, and its not a localized occurrence. Any state, any country falls guilty of this reality.

You are completely missing the point: I want my products to harbour good quality and handling, and I find that these big Californian companies tend not to care about their customers' well being.HAHAHAHA, do you think people who make and buy companies stick to a single state? You think this is the folly of a single uncaring, unintelligent, greedy, former criminal, Californian bread man? That it is only California that can have and breed such disgraceful people of this kind? That you and your location is so... ideologically perfect, to justify your acts condescension towards something you had put in absolutely no effort into investigating or researching... let alone understanding?
Conclusion: you sir scream "my food was bad, I hate all of California because of it" == major butthurt.
To be fair, I know quite a few folks who live in California.
However, I will never talk to them because pronouncing "merry, Mary, marry" the same way just distracts me from what they are saying.
So, if a genius who knew the meaning of everything was about to reveal the answer, but he didn't pronounce "merry" correctly, I'd leave.

I don't judge a state based on stereotypes.The OP believes all stereotypes. Saying that is going to make his butt shake and he's going to reply back saying "THEY'RE NOT STEREOTYPES, THEY'RE THE TRUTH." Or some [censored] along the lines.
Considering that whole post was a huge stereotype-esque generalisation about myself, I think it's safe to say that I don't really believe in any stereotypes unless I was one of the first who noticed the things that the stereotype encompasses first.
I generally don't like stereotypes.

To be fair, I know people from China and Japan... doesn't mean I understand how all there systems/cultures/practices work (after getting pissed off at them over three words).
See, that's your personal bias. Most people don't give 2 shits. You ever hear of a "pet peeve"? To perceive a group of people negatively based on your pet peeve, to insult and degrade, so presumptuously, to such a degree over something so utterly pointless. Guess what? I think you triggered my pet peeve.

Unless you know everyone in California, you're contradicting yourself. Stop stereotyping, brah.

You're right, it is my pet peeve, but here's the thing...
Of the Californians that I've dealt with, one of the following has been their response:
THE DERPY EXCUSE: I can't tell the difference between those words.
THE NAÃVE EXCUSE: What do you mean? I've always pronounced it this way.
THE BURDEN EXCUSE: Everybody here seems to keep mocking either the fact that I have the "cot, caught" merger, or the fact that I have the "merry, Mary, marry" merger. Where can I get a break, man?
THE NONCHALANT EXCUSE: What does it matter?
Ultimately, these people tend to be friendly, but unless they either: 1. Never use words that end with -erry, or -arry. or 2. Rid themselves of the merger., I'll never talk to them.

Sorry, but that is such a waste. Can't say I'd do the same if I was in that situation. My pet peeve is people saying "wolf" like "woof". I think I could put aside my pet peeve to learn something so important (even if it was an answer like 42). :P
(Also now you got me thinking about the "Mary", "merry" and "marry" thing about my speech... Gonna be saying it for the next ten minutes)

If it helps:
Merry is supposed to have the "e" of "bet"
Mary is supposed to have the "a" of "scary"
Marry is supposed to have the "a" of "hat"

Your missing my point. Don't go on a "group bashing rant" over something so pointless to everyone but you. I have to wonder if it's simply these words (pronunciation) or are you completely intolerant of anyone without perfect pronunciation.
Maybe they didn't bother trying to learn it. It simply shows how much they value those words as a necessity to talk with someone who would deny social interaction with them on grounds of proper pronunciation of said words. As well, how much you value those words over people.

You better go on a fucking diet because...
California remained the No. 1 state in cash farm receipts in 2011, with $43.5 billion in revenue. The state accounted for 15 percent of national receipts for crops, and more than 7 percent of the U.S. revenue for livestock and livestock products.
California's agricultural abundance includes more than 400 commodities. The state produces nearly half of U.S.–grown fruits, nuts and vegetables. Across the nation, U.S. consumers regularly purchase several crops produced solely in California.
California is home to some of the most productive counties in the nation. According to the 2007 Census of Agriculture's ranking of market value of agricultural products sold, nine of the nation's top 10 producing counties are in California. The sales of these nine counties accounted for 6.6 percent of the nation's total sales value.

I have lived in 2 of those states and I currently live in one of them. Also lol this is funny...sense makes none. California has the best wine of the US. Nevada has not sure, Alabama makes not sure, and Colorado makes the best Columbine type shootings (including Columbine!) and who can forget the hilarity of Aurora?
"Pawk a caw in the Hawvad Yawd"

I also won't buy salsa from New York City!
