"And so you demonstrate your fear of God by insulting people you've never met? How very Christian of you."
What confusion you post ... .
My "fear of God" has NOTHING to do with NOT commenting on the ridiculousness of this posted article. It is right for a Christian to laugh at such nonsense and call it what it is - utter nonsense. Good grief - you are a confused soul.

1. Immigration (to the sunbelt from Mexico) and 2. Cheap housing in the sunbelt. Those of us willing to pay a bit more for civilization prefer the NY.NJ area thank you very much. Hope you hayseeds enjoy Applebees and sitting in your car just to pick up some milk!

I've been to CA. Big Sur was my favorite trip there.
CA doesn't have community outlets that I require to live. Like my much needed ethnic delis. I actually left NJ for 5 or 6 years. I went into massive withdrawal. It was a terrible sight. Needed my ethnic food fix.
>>>but something tells me the NJ-ites turn their noses up at the state.
Where did I imply this in any of my posts?

Then why do you have to pay the bridge toll to LEAVE NJ?LOL
Actually, that toll (on I-80 at the Water Gap) is collected by a PA/NJ joint effort and shared by both states.

I didn't say you shouldn't comment. I said it doesn't seem very God-fearing to be a rude jerk. That's what you are. A rude jerk. Hope that's clear enough so you don't get confused.

Hi All-
One wonders why they wouldn't include things like taxes and vehicle insurance rates (inclusive of accidents, theft, etc.) in determining the "liveability" of the states? God knows topics like those two are discussed around dinnertables each night.
It would also be interesting to see how crime rates (which have plummeted in shall-issue states like Florida...) were factored into this report. Many once-great cities of New Jersey like East Orange, Camden, Trenton, Newark, Plainfield, Irvington, Paterson, and others cannot be visited by normal residents. This is especially true after daylight hours.

"Yep, but the bottom line is that people are moving to Penny. The Lehigh Valley is booming, so is Bucks and many towns along the Delaware. Why, if NJ is such a wonderful place are the people moving away?"
Their just moving away from Democrats and moving toward Republicans in PA
To: FlipWilson; Clemenza
Why, if NJ is such a wonderful place are the people moving away? You totally don't get it. You don't see them moving to Pittsburgh do you? Know why? Cuz a 10 hour commute to NJ would be murder! They aren't running away from NJ. They are expanding NJ. In effect, the reach of NJ is spreading to Eastern PA. They are staying as close to NJ as possible because they work here.

East Orange, Camden, Trenton, Newark, Plainfield, Irvington, Paterson Blah blah. Same old litany. You can't go into Birmingham Alabama at night either.

Actually, those towns are dangerous during daylight hours, too.

Hudson County has been the "doormat to the world" since the Paddies came over in Black '47. If you spend time along Berganline, and are patient among the locals, you may have a good time, eat some great food (ummm, Tostones), and pick up a nice chiquita de Colombia for yerself.
Besides, EVERY REGION OF THE COUNTRY that is experiencing economic growth is beset by the effects of illegal immigration. THere are signs in Spanish where my sister lives in South Carolina. At least Spanish is an easy language, the nabe I lived in in Brooklyn had signs in Arabic!
Essex, Union, and Hudson are the urban counties of the state. IMHO, the immigrants have actually IMPROVED much of Newark, Jersey City, Bloomfield, etc. Do you really think that Linden (until recently the redoubt of english-speaking whites and blacks) were really great places to live before the current wave of immigration?
I've lived most of my life in the northeast, with dad hailing from Newark and ma from Jersey City. I know the state very well. In my nearly 30 years, the bad areas (East Orange, Irvington, Paterson) are the same as when I was a child, and the good areas remain good areas. As a matter of fact, even some formerly bad areas (parts of New Brunswick, Jersey City, even Newark) have actually improved.

Still as confused as ever, I see ... .
Just because YOU don't like what I said about New Jersey being a disgusting little godless viper den doesn't give YOU the right to personally attack me. Then again, people like yourself are known for their glaring hypocrisy. Perhaps DU would be a more friendly place for you to hang out at. I'm sure they LOVE NJ for the same reasons YOU do.
To be "God fearing" allows for you to call things as they are - New Jersey is a vile, corrupt cesspool. It is those who don't see this that have MUCH to fear from God.

I think I recall you blowing a gasket on a thread once before when you were defending New Jersey.It was one of the "new state slogan" threads. That was hilarious.
