Get the detroit mug.An insecure lowlife who gets a high abusing and intimidating smaller, weaker persons but will instantly put their tail between their legs and back down when confronted by dudes the same size as them or larger when karma comes to bite them in the ass.
The best way to defeat a bully is by confronting them. I did it in the 8th grade and beat the snot out of him. At that point, he/she either leaves you alone or stops being a bully alltogether. This proves that bullies are basically self-rightous, "hyped-up" wimps.

Get the bully mug.A Midwest state with 6.4 million residents, but only 60 last names. Indianapolis is the capital and largest city.
Indiana calls itself the Crossroads of America to those who live there, but is the road to nowhere if you don't.

Get the Indiana mug.Was once the world's largest coporation but has been surpassed by Toyota. It has been the victim of stupid labor unions like the UAW that always threaten to strike if they don't get higher pay (even though the average starting salary for a worker just out of high school with no skills is about $25 an hour), healthcare benefits (which they DO get), retirement benefits (which they also get) and 401K. The union has destroyed this once great corporation. GM has been responsible for many job losses in the auto industry, not just in Michigan, but all across the U.S.A. Don't blame the company. Blame the UAW Union. They demand unfair promises from the company that cannot be kept, therefore forcing the company and the auto industry to outsource jobs to Mexico. GM is not so great anymore, thanks to the antiquated and worthless UAW.
General Motors is the largest employer in Michigan, the 2nd largest auto manufacturer and 3rd largest corporation in the world.

Get the General Motors mug.DIA. The gargantuan international airport serving Denver, Colorado (DEN) located on the plains east of the city and nowhere near the city center of Denver. Its location is so remote and so far from Denver itself that it seems to be halfway to the Kansas border. Taxing on the runway to/from the terminal itself takes forever and seems to take like an hour. Right after you takeoff (depending on the direction), you can look down and see numerous cattle ranches in the area. To get just about anywhere in the metro area is a long drive due to of its remote location.
The airport covers some 60 or 70-square miles or so and is the largest airport in the country. It is so large that it is larger than Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Forth Worth and Atlanta/Hartsfield combined. The current facility was built to replace the aged Denver Stapleton Airport in 1995 or so that was much closer to the city center.
The central terminal is known for its white, fabric roof reminiscent of the white-capped Rocky Mountains or the “teepees” of the Native Americans who inhabited the area, depending on who you ask. Being inside makes you feel as though you are in a giant tent. The clean and spacious central terminal has the TSA screening booths, numerous car rental agencies, restaurants and the enormous baggage claim on the bottom level. The airport’s layout is similar to Atlanta’s. There are 3 concourses separated by some three-quarters of a mile or so and connected by an underground train. Frontier Airlines is closest to the main terminal while United is further out at Concourse 3.
DIA is the 2nd largest hub for United Airlines and is the only hub for smaller, classier and low-cast carrier, Frontier Airlines.

Get the Denver International Airport mug.A bigger version of Dallas. The 4th largest single city in the United States and largest city in Texas. America’s 7th largest metro area. As big as the Houston area is, it isn't even the largest in Texas. Dallas-Ft. Worth is the largest. It’s economy has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing of chemicals and petrochemicals, aeronautics (NASA is headquartered in the city), technology, biotechnology and healthcare and research institutions. It is home to the most Fortune 500 companies outside New York City. It’s numerous high-paying jobs followed by a low cost of liviing makes Houston a very easy city to live in. It is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country and is a classic example of urban sprawl gone ammock, like many Sun Belt cities including its rival, Dallas. Houston saw a surge of New Orleans refugees in September of 2005, after Hurricane Katrina. It is believed that its crime rate (already among the highest in the country) escalated rapidly after receiving the evacuees. Houston is almost an urban hell to live in because it has no zoning regulations whatsoever, thanks to its voters. Not suprisingly, it has the second-worst air pollution in the country after Los Angeles. For a city of such large size, Houston has very abysmal public transportation and just about everybody drives everywhere. The roads are overused, overcrowded, underfunded and in need of repair. Houston has among the youngest populations in the nation,partly due to an influx of immigrants (both legal and illegal) into Texas. It has the third-largest Hispanic and third-largest Mexican population in the United States. An estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants reside in Houston if you can believe it or not. That’s perhaps why the city has such a high crime rate. Houston, although not with a profile like the crowded East Coast cities, has just about everything: professional sports teams from every sport except hockey, museums, a theme park, tons of bars and nightclubs, an active nightlife, and ranks high in the arts. Houston is just damb big all over the place and an urban nightmare if you want to live there. It’s a nice place to visit or conduct business, but you don’t want to live there. Houston, we have a problem.
