How does the state of Ohio have 2 million more people in it than Georgia when their largest city only has 1,612,694 people in the metro area?

isn't information on wikipedia unreliable? I was under the impression that anyone can edit a topic there, so it's possible that information on that site is not accurate.

And throw in Dayton, Akron (not to be confused with Akern), Toledo, Youngstown, and Columbus.

Most people would know those. If they had to name the big cities in Georgia (besides Atlanta), you might get some people to say Savannah or Augusta. But not many.

People just like us better so they are all moving here. That plus there aren't as many bald headed, floral shirt wearing weirdos hanging around. Most hangerouters around here are overweight and slovenly.
