One thing: The Packers CANT play the Bears in a Super Bowl, theyre both NFC teams.

But yes, they have some kind of hatred towards us, I still cant figure it out. But heres what I do: I boycott them. I will not go to WI anymore and put ANY money into their economy, especially avoiding their crooked cops. If they wanna whine all the time like a bunch of losers, then screw em. Stay out of their state, dont buy real estate or vacation. Hit em where it counts, in the pocketbooks. If they wanna complain about us vacationing there, screw em!!! Lets let their state dwindle and rot in piece.

The further North you go, the more they hate us. Why? They don't like the way we drive, and the fact that people from Illinois are buying up the best properties the locals cannot afford.

OK, You are giving people from WI. A little to much credit. I have lived all over the country and people from Illinois are the worst drivers and the rudest people I have ever seen.
I believe the whole country hates you. They don't call you "Fib's for nothing
I know there are great people that live there, I have friends my self there. However as a whole, the nick name fits.

I have to agree that Illinois drivers are some of the worst I've seen. I moved away to Hawaii for a year and a half, and it wasn't until I came back that I realized just how aggressive and rude the drivers are here in Illinois.

As for Wisconsinites, eh, doesn't affect me, as I think I've maybe been to WI 5 times in my whole life. No prob at all for me to avoid the state, as it offers nothing of interest to me!

I lived in Madison for a few months some years ago .... from what I remember it's about crime. Gangs were coming up from Chicago to sell drugs to the college students and kids. Wisconsin never really had a crime problem before that started happening.

Oh yeah, Milwaukee was just squeeky-clean until the Chicago gangs showed up. For what it's worth, most of the rest of Wisconsin still doesn't have a crime problem, and generally speaking, that includes Madison.

Illinois has the worst drivers in the country? You've obviously never been to Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, New York City, or Tampa. I'd rather drive in Chicago than in any of those places. Boston was actually the worst. Those people are truly nuts.

Chicago drivers aren't merely nuts, they're plain mean. I have never driven anywhere with the roads absolutely filled with d*#kheads like in this town.
