NOO JOISEY

its all in good fun.. i know...
However.. I find it baffling that New Yawkas think they are the elite and people from Jersey are scum. Let me start by saying that New York City is the scumiest, slimiest, cesspool I have ever been to. I worked there for many years and even the most cleaned up parts of it (42nd street) are disgusting. It stinks, its overcrowded, its loud, and the people are a-holes. Sure it has good restaurants, some good museums and shops, but I couldnt understand how so many new yorkers badmouth nj people. Dont get me wrong, I know some great people in Manhattan, but the thought of walking around that city makes me want to hurl.
I know NJ isnt perfect by far.. high auto insurance, highways are crowded, pay to go to the beach in the summer etc but on a day like today with no summer crowds on the beaches, you cant beat it. If you spent a few weeks living in say.. Sea Girt or Spring Lake in Ocean County youd see why this is not so bad a place to live.
(I would have taken growing up living in Southern California though- La Jolla would work lol)

South Jersey "Jersey List"
Please note that some of these have remained the same - I deleted about 4 from the OPs list and modified a few to make it a South Jersey List. You guys can pick on NJ all you want but you all need to be informed that S.Jerseyans enjoy picking on the N.Jersyans just as much as you do - they give us a bad name and NO in South Jersey it is not pronounced "Joisey" its Jersey (jer-see).

You couldnt pay me 50 bucks to come over there right now. I can see great shows, eat great food, and party my face off while enjoying an ocean breeze.
Forget it, that was too lame. At least this dampens the fail
I guess you just better hope that Niko doesn't start poking fun of Canada, aye?
Why, because I thought of a failuristic joke?
10% of the population, 10% of the waste, 150% of the size
but then we would have to be in the same country as youWhy, because I thought of a failuristic joke?
