Florida (The state of)
vanity

Posted on 01/29/2015 3:30:14 AM PST by kelly4c

I was just over looking at the DailyMail website and noticed that so many of the stories are out of Florida. A disproportionate amount it seems. Any Floridians here? Just what's going on in your state, do you feel anything's off-kilter?

It’s getting to be now that the trailer parks are fairly sane compared to the ghettos now. It’s spreading like wildfire where the blacks take over a section of town and next thing you know they’ve run it into the ground and it’s rife with crime.

Trailer parks are basically white trash; they may have alcohol and/or drug issues but they’re not shooting each other up.

>>Where have all the natives gone?

We’re still here, but getting lost in the clutter. Go to a rural county and you’ll find us.

The Warmists have been right about the sea levels rising here in the Tampa Bay area. It happens about twice a day on average.

I adapted to the heat the first summer I moved here (northern FL). I have lived in other places with hot climates, and frankly I could do without the “cool” winters—just give me the heat year-round.

Nothing off kilter here....

Still enjoying the blue skies, green grass, tropical breezes, swaying palm trees...even in winter.

Still enjoying walks on cloudless days......
.......watching spacecraft lift off..(& this from my front yard)
......and sandy beaches.....endless ocean.....cruise ships.... delicious seafood

Maybe you should have an optional newsgroup to read......the Daily Mail thrives on sensationalizing stories & printing the most salacious ones

Just saying

It’s not like that just started happening recently.

No, I think Florida is doing ok. My guess would be the high number number of British tourists are interested in what goes on here.

Florida is no longer a state of 'Floridians' - it has become a state of carpetbaggers who seek to change everything Floridian to 'how we did it up north'.

You have to take the Daily Mail with a grain of salt. It’s a British tab, after all. They troll America for the worst stories and then blast it all over their online newspaper. I dislike it because it messed up my computer with horrible audible pop ups, etc.

My best friend and I moved to Tampa in ‘74 from Flint, after college. Best thing I ever did. TampaBay area is the only place I would live in Florida.

My buddy and I celebrate life and our beautiful area every Saturday at St Pete Beach. Check out our video. I'm the short guy. It was taken a few weeks ago.

Florida was a penal colony. Much of the “sane” Florida population is from elsewhere. I’ve lived here for over 30 years, but I was born in NJ and moved here when I was very young. There are plenty of natives who are worth their salt, but there are others who are just batshit crazy.

Did I leave anything out?

Plenty. If you think that most white folks live in gated communities, you're delusional. West Central Florida was a major hub for the KKK last century, and that legacy is evident in many parts of Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, and parts of western Hillsborough counties where blacks are disproportionately fewer than other parts of the state.

Floridians are also VERY well armed. We don't need blacks and Hispanics "guarding" us. We do that just fine ourselves.

There's a reason Florida looks crazy: we LIKE it that way. It keeps the rest of the faint-of-heart liberal idiots AWAY!

I left out the /sarcasm tag by mistake.

In my town in Florida, Negros and the rest of us get on pretty well.The occasional shootings and robberies are not monocultural activities such as they seem to be in other places.
