I’m 72. Have heard this all of my life, and a poll is needed to confirm?
the Treansplanted New Yawkers I have encountered here in [ suburban ] The Sf Bay Area meet all of the aforementioned criteroa in spades.
Rude. Arrogant...Arrogant.//
Americans think New York has the second-smartest people after Massachusetts.
Well that says it all...Americans must be the dumbest...All the smart ones left NY and MA
I don’t disagree, although the libtard Massholes suck too.
New York CPR: “Get up before you f^&^&ing die!”
Like the old joke: A tourist walks up to a cop in downtown New York and taps him on the shoulder. The cop turns around and asks, “What?” The tourist replies, “Can you tell me how to get to Times Square or should I just go to he**?”
I have only been to New York City a couple of times, but found regular working people there to be down-to-earth and helpful. One friend-of-a-friend spent 45 minutes educating me on subway lines, points of interest, how to avoid looking like a tourist. She even drew an excellent map. Another one let me spend the night at her place, and a third one met me and my travel buddy at a restaurant and spent the evening telling us stories about the Brooklyn district attorneys’ office.
I’ve met good people from New Jersey, too.
Poll Finds New York Rudest, Most Arrogant State In The Nation......not to mention along with Calif. Mass. the dumbest voters in the country.
“...Texas was the one most would like to see kicked out of the country.”
That would be fine, but I’d be inclined to join them if they were.
I hate “studies” like this and the headlines they generate. It’s impossible to lump an entire dynamic state into one “personality.” Certainly New York City is what they are talking about in this one, but I know from experience that the rural border counties of upstate New York are friendly average people similar to Midwesterners. California, Texas, Indiana — any state with distinct populated regions is going to have the same problem when someone tries to characterize the people in all of their disparate regions as one.
It’s not NY per say. It’s wherever liberals dominate. Boston is nasty. Burlington, VT is filled with arrogance. Austin, TX (in the city) isn’t Texas. It’s NY because of it’s liberals. I’ve lived in all of these cities and have relatives and friends in them. There’s a feeling of being unwelcome in them.
Communis Massachusetts is believed to have the second smartest group of people in the nation? Maybe that is the problem — the hubris of the people of Massachusetts. No people — however smart — can go against the laws of classical eonomics and ignore human nature (as Marx and Mao do) can make a society work and have a decent standard of living. Japan is smarter than we are and they have failed in their adoption of Socialism.
How’d they outdo Maryland?
Yep. Many NYers who venture down here to Virginia tend to have that “you’re-doing-it-all-wrong-here” attitude.
My attitude is, “go back to NY and show us how we’re wrong.”
And based upon the link to all the results, South Dakota is apparently the most forgotten state.
You get the ‘best’ of both worlds (NY and Assachusetts) here in Red Hampshire...the conservatives are leaving/have left; the older natives are dying off...my ‘hood is full of foul mouth, arrogant NY’ers who have NO RESPECT for personal and private property.
Thirty or forty years ago, that was true. But gentrification has filled NY up with wimps and nice guys.
