The view of the Turnpike is awesome. And the menfolk wear their shellsuits with such grace and elegance.

Yes, but they are WAY outnumbered by the New Yorkers, immigrants and corporate relocations moving to Jersey. The folks moving to the Lehigh valley aint exactly the classiest folks in the state if you ask me (certain freepers excluded!).

You affirm the point that Sarastro made earlier...what is important to YOU! Mountains and the beach, I have 14,000 ft peaks in 4 hrs and the beach in 45 minutes where I'm writing this in the SF Bay Area. And yet, I'd leave here if it were not for an elderly mother-in-law that needs care and a married daughter and her family who leave just a block from us. Why would I do that with great attractions, great weather, low property taxes, almost no mortgage? One reason that is significant to me...TRAFFIC. Cars everywhere. I need to exercise great care just backing out of my driveway in a residential neighborhood. So, different factors for different people.
To: jjbrouwer
LOL. The only place I see shellsuits are on Staten Island andm, ok in Fairfield and Guido Grove, er, Cedar Grove.
I thought you moved back to Ol' Blighty?

The trampling of the rights of the people, mostly through the illegal restrictions on our second amendment rights, is the travesty that is the most troubling. But it doesn't end there. There is the whole socialist mind set that tells me how much I can rent an apartment to someone for ala NYC's rent control laws, and the burgeoning welfare state mentality here that picks my pocket on a regular basis.
Yes states like Idaho, Wyoming and Montana are low population centers that have preserved our basic freedoms, but so have populous states like Florida, Arizona and much of the Southeast. I am realistic about protection of our constitutional rights, and adamant that the Dems and RINO's that run the blue states abide by the constitution and restore our liberties.

These NJ dustups are fun. I'm just hoping I don't go psycho and get another time out! Actally, I totally knew I was gonna get a time out last time, but I felt it was worth it.

If you have to wait for the gubmint to give you permission to be free, you're in for a long wait pretty much anywhere Has there been a change recently where your gov't has given it's subjects the right to defend themselves.

And Hoboken is now more upscale than Brooklyn Heights!

New Jersey's summer is exactly the same as everyone else's. But if you are using warmth as a criteria, then the state does have more than "3 month's of summer". It is warm in New Jersey from late April to mid/late October. Some trees are already starting to bud here and the crokus plants have already popped out of the ground. New Jersey is mid-Atlantic state, not a New England state. It's weather is basically similar to Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Six months of summer (warm), six months of winter (cold).

The trampling of the rights of the people, mostly through the illegal restrictions on our second amendment rights Yeah, it's definitely blue in that regard. But the second amendment is a Federally protected right. If it's being violated at the state level, sure the state is culpable, but so are the feds. After all, the 2nd amendment is in the US Constitution.

Again, I don't see inalienable rights as something you ask permission for.

As a Noo Yawker (and all the positive AND negative stereotypes that entails) I find that when I visit South Carolina to see my sister, I am in a foreign country. Its still kinda fun to run people off the road and demand that they cut to the chase when talking. ;-)
My LEAST favorite regions of the country are the Great Plains (nice people, awful weather, no trees) and the Pacific Northwest (weird, douchy people, no sun for nine months, bad food).

Go ahead and exercise them in NJ. Let us know when you get out of prison.

It's definitely in the eye of the beholder. I like the line from the song:
I can tell you fancy,
I can tell you plain,
You give something up,
For everything you gain,
Since every pleasure,
has an edge of pain,
Pay for your ticket,
And don't complain.
There's always tradeoffs. I know the SF area is mucho expensive, and then there's that San Andreas thingy.

I've got a standing offer for some BBQ from a generous FReeper in NJ. I'll be partaking when I get up that way.
To: Clemenza
I think my least fave is the midwest. I like the people of the south, although I find the land very unappealing. I love the mountain states.
