Fuck all you New Yuckers who ponder why we live in the South with our hurricane risks. FUCK YOU! Maybe we live here to live far away from your fucking snottiness and smog. Nah, we live here for the friendlier folks, nice weather and great cost of living. Why ask such a pompous question anyway, since statistics show that more Northerners are moving

I'm a Southerner and everything, but :/

my god. it's kind of harsh to generalize an entire group of people into one category. i'm sure they're not all like that.

but new orleans was built on soft silt from the mississippi, after all. building a city on mud that is almost 26 ft below sea level is a natural disaster waiting to happen.

but there are risks to living anywhere.

Yes, they ARE all like that :P

haha I like that. New Yuckers that made me laugh. And this sentence made me laugh really hard: Maybe we live here to live far away from your fucking snottiness and smog.

I'm sorry but I gotta ask (this is funny). What or who started this rant?

Do you have any idea the poverty that exists in New York state? If you did, perhaps you wouldn't be directing your anger there. And if you want to start talking money and figures and snobbiness, then I can easily mention all the Southern Old Money down there. Talk about a sense of entitlement. In the end, it's not about geography or money. It's about your sense of respect for humanity. Sure it's wrong to make judgements about an entire region of people, but that goes both ways.

*I'm not making this anonymous, but I politely ask that if you're going to make ad homonim attacks on me that you do so here and not at my personal journal. Thanks!!

Thank you.

I was born and raised in Kentucky. I've lived in New York for four years now. The original poster cannot BEGIN to understand the warmth, intelligence, strength, compassion, and bravery of the people here. Moreover, its aggressive ignorance like that that makes Southerners and Northerners dislike one another when in reality they understand next to nothing about the complexities of one another's cultures.

Exactly. There is so much urban and rural poverty in NYS. I just came from a weekend up in the North Country, where the poverty is absolutely appalling. That's not to even begin to touch on the urban poverty. I live up in Rochester and we have a higher per-capita homeless rate than NYC. Sure, some areas like Rockland county, Orange county, and Long Island have fairly high income levels, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The OP demonstrated an excellent ironic example of ignorance by assuming what he/she did about New Yorkers.
Poverty is everywhere and I hardly think that a simply curiosity as to why someone would choose (key word and only referring to people not stuck there by economic or other factors)to live in a dangerous area, weather-wise, is a reason to attack an entire state that the OP clearly knows absolutely nothing about.
