The per capita income is 20% lower than the national average and the graduation rate sits at 68%. A third of the residents never even finish high school according to ohio.gov. Unemployment is rampant and welfare is common. The schools suck according to national school report cards. In 2009, over 400 children from Toledo alone had to enter state custody. Also in 2009, 52.9% of all births were paid for by Medicare.

So what do kids do there? Some facts about Lucas County (Toledo):
•In Lucas County, alone, eight hundred children are born to teen parents each year. Lucas County has consistently been near the top of teen pregnancy rates among major urban counties during the last two decades. Teen childbearing in Ohio cost taxpayers at least $352 million in 2004.
•In Lucas County at any one time there are over 13,000 youth who were born to a teen mother.
•One out of every twenty-one investigations of child abuse and neglect by Lucas County Children Services involves children of teenage mothers and 35 percent of the ongoing cases involved a mother, who, as a teenager, had given birth to a child. •According to a 2006 University of Toledo study entitled “Women Offenders In the Criminal Justice System: Needs of and Services for Mothers”, forty percent of the women reported being pregnant with their first child before the age of 18 and were more than likely not to have graduated, had less of a take home pay, and had been arrested, than those women who had their first child after eighteen”.


What do the residents have to say about their lovely city?

"The worse thing about Toledo is the crime. It's gone up so much in the past 10 years that very few people go there to shop anymore. Most the malls are full of gangs and the murder rate has gotten out of control in the pass few years. My sister lives there and she has had her car broke into so many times that they just close count. And I'm not just saying these things because I hate Toledo...I think the city could be a nice place. One reason I think the crime is so bad is because it's so close to Detroit. I May be wrong, but I do think a lot of drugs go between the two cites."

"Don't move to Toledo; the economy is in the toilet."

"Is there a shittier town than Toledo Ohio? I drove through that shit hole Jeep makin' ghetto last week. MAN I was glad to have pleanty of gas. You can actually see smoke rising off of the city as you drive into it."

"Bowling Green's a shithole? Have you ever driven through Toledo??? Gun store, liquor store, liquor store, gun store...mall. That's Toledo in a nutshell. "

"There is a reason it's so cheap to live here. The crime is high, it's dirty, it's blue collar and the people are rather dumb. They are very proud of themselves......not sure why."

Yes, I see why some of our new members are so proud. It's about perspective: You can't tell you are in the toilet from the bowl...

Hello Cleveland!

From Ohio's listing on Encyclopedia Dramatica:
"Ohio is a shithole excuse of a state in the Jewnited States, in Middle America. It is known for its mass export of Drew Carey. Ohio is widely known for having four unique seasons -- almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction. Ohio is also famous for having one of the highest populations of white supremacists, hicks, and retards (Unlike ED, they SRSLY believe Obama's a Muslim), due to its close proximity to Indiana and West Virginia. A favorite attraction of Ohio is creating moon-crater-sized potholes that rival Pennsylvania's. Since it's so craptastic, no one bothers to fix them. It's known for having three of the shittiest cities in America (and that's saying something): Cleveland, Dayton, and Columbus. Only Detroit, New Orleans (the black parts), and Baltimore are worse. Other than Toledo (which isn't really so much "shitty" as it is unremarkable) all the other "cities" in Ohio are small towns filled with midwestern hicks that nobody cares about.

Note to Eurofags: Don't bother using Ohio as an example of why America sucks. Ohio is the butt of every joke ever here. Srsly, everyone hates Ohio and Ohioans (yes, that's what you call them). Because Detroit is way worse."

"Ohio is home to a wide variety of interesting people, from the college students at Ohio State to the elderly at CGNU. At least 50% of OSU students are fags, while the other 50% are towelheads. The population is often bitter, due to their inability to drive properly, their close proximity to Michigan, and their all-around vacant space."

Why are the residents acting like they are so shocked over a drug killing? It sounds like that is part of the Ohio culture.

So pretty much it snows, floods, and snows some more there. Well no wonder they're all getting the herpes from sheep. They're cold and wet.

OK, now I really do HATE Toledo:

Toledo Mayor to Marines: "Leave Town"
By curtislowe
"Another elected civil servant that lives under the mantle of U.S. freedom but dislikes the people who provide it.

From the Toledo Blade: “A company of Marine Corps Reservists received a cold send-off from downtown Toledo yesterday by order of Mayor Carty Finkbeiner.”

What do you expect from a guy with a name like that who actually wants to be Mayor of that shit-hole?

My favorite part: “The mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people,” said Brian Schwartz, the mayor’s spokesman. Heh."

If we are ever attacked, I hope we leave Toledo to fend for themselves.
