jersey...that thing that invades Manhattan every day.

[Clemenza]

I'll take Jerseyites over the transplanted hicks from Ohio and California who have brought their bland, white bread suburban culture to Manhattan, and have RUINED much of Brooklyn (see Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope).

I long for the day when the Ricans and bruthas run down Bedford Avenue stomping the little pencil-necked Trustafarian transplants into the pavement.

[Clemenza]

The Meadowlands Business Park will bomb as badly as the “Xanadu” mall, IMHO.

to each his own.

wading through an ocean jersey immigrants with scowls on their halfway intelligent faces makes my walk to the gym in the morning an ordeal in itself.

if they hate Manhattan so much, why don't they telecommute?

[Clemenza]

Because they get room to raise a family.

As for your stupid comment, keep in mind that NJ has more folks with college and graduate degrees per capita than NY does, and has the highest median income in the US.

The cow tipping transplants that have ruined NYC will be gone as soon as the next crime wave comes along. They have no RIGHT to call themselves true New Yorkers. ;-)

un hunh, what ever, carmine.

Sort proves my point about credentials, too: if they're so smart, why would the live in a state that also outdoes New York for corruption?

I'll cut 'em this much slack: the sheer peer pressure alone of living there would make anyone miserable, stupid and arrogant.

Stupid.

Carmine? Whatever Chad. You realize that, like most white Americans, I am a mixture of different ethnicities.

You consider Spitzer, Guy Vellela, Major Owens (now thankfully out of office), David Patterson, and Adolfo Carrion to be paragons of ethics? Stupid transplants don't even know their politicians, nor the rather crooked history of NYC politics before Trevor decided to move to Williamsburg because his buddies from Irvine thought that it would be "hip."

Raised in the state of New York, lived in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Laugh my asses off at the Skippys from suburban Columbus who cry whenever Jose calls them a little faggot on the L train.

As for myself, I will just enjoy the quiet life in the Princeton area. Not too many Carmines to be found here, but not too many limp wristed hipster trustafarians either (they get flunked out of Tiger U, but usually don't get accepted either).

Just dusted off some memorabilia and discovered I was an Official Challenger up in the Heights on Election Day in 92.
