Is the Midwest the embodiment of American ignorance, stupidity and white trash?

[Camel Jockey]

The only part of the South us Yanks care for is Florida.. And is Florida really even a traditional southern state?

You wont see us rushing to visit Alabama, or even Lake New Orleans anytime soon.

Florida my butt.  The whole South has been reinvaded.  There are more yankees in Dallas than in Rhode Island!!  We especially love hearing how great everything is "up north".

[Croatch]

Long live the confederacy! 

haha, Yeah.   You may as well staple "dipshit redneck" to your forehead. 

[nycbull]

just got back from  South Florida, and have to say the people are the dumbest I have seen. Stupid and horrible drivers, and they let Donald Trump destroy their water front.  They give away their land because they all think they were gonna be rich like the Donald too...hahahahaha.

NYC is calling...maybe.

Plenty of mongrels around the NY area, they're the vast majority-long island for example. Guidos and other trash all over brooklyn, staten island, jersey, etc. Jersey's like the mid-west right across the river, people live in jersey all their lives and still don't know their way around NYC; so much for worldly!

[pumpster]

Well, put it this way...I did some of my college in Chicago, and the folks were much friendlier than here in CT.

If you asked someone how they were in passing, they'd stop you, proceed to tell you how they were , then genuinely ask you how YOU were.

In CT, we just walk past each other without eye contact.

CT is extremely uptight and anal. The northeast in general's unfriendly & cynical compared to the mid-west.

The 5 burrows have so many trashy people, I'm surprised they just don't blow NYC up for the betterment of mankind.  NYC is highly overrated, overpriced, and flooded with the "jet setting" crowd.  However, for good live music and pretty vagina, it's very nice.  Too many foreign parasites too.  You can't walk into a deli without them barely speaking english.  Everyone is in a rush to make their "next million".  Even people who bank 100g, are still just getting by.  Nice town

Agree on the above; the NY/NJ for the most part's over-run by the unwashed masses, lowest common denominator. 9/11 was actually good for the area in one respect, for a minute people were actually friendly (a few months) then of course it went away.

there are a lot of poor, and not very educated but not nearly as bad as the south or midwest. Just try to get any kind of decent service there, there is no work ethic. the American education system is just poor, and layer that with laziness, entiltlement and shallowness, you have a recipe for disaster. This is why the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. In South Forida you have the mega rich and then the poor and thats it. The middle class are the new poor.

Stupid question but why do they call the midwest the "midwest" if it's right in the middle of America? There's nothing western about it.

[sinbad]

Hellzzz nooo... re-read my post. No place like Ohio... driving out to the country, cheering for the Buckeyes in Ohio Stadium in the fall, drinking at the campus bars every night in the spring, big barbecue dinners, watching the Cavs, and beating M*ch*g*n...

I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else!

I agree, Ann Arbor is the only place I want to live. You guys get Pryor yet?

  Cause it's the middle heading west from the east.

Nope... at this stage, does anyone really still want Prima Donna Pryor? Any school he goes to now will feel slighted...

I live right on the Dade-Broward county border.  Miami-Ft. Lauderdale is Manhatten South.  Replete with horrible drivers, massive amounts of foreigners(quick fact about the region - There is an approximate 8% increase in foreign-born population, while there is approximately 3% annaul decrease in US-born population), crime and gangs, astronomical housing, and the coastline is littered with massive, overpriced, and ugly condo buildings.  The weather is nice though, great gyms, and lots of places to eat.  A lot of jobs as well.

I'd love to live in the midwest though.  Wide-open spaces, no fears about getting shot at, and very low cost of living.

yes Florida is a VERY southern state, go to anyplace in Florida besides down near Miami and you'll see what i mean, especially northern Florida, there are parts of northern Florida that look as if they're stuck in the 1800's.

[mar10s]

the Midwest is cheap.

This is true.  Just south of Milwaukee where I live, my home cost about 230K.  If I hop on I94 and drive south for 30 some miles to the Chicago suburbs, this same house costs around 400K or more.  Wisconsin is pretty cheap and yes farther up north there are still dipshits driving around with Confederate Flags on their jacked up trucks etc.  There are some very redneck areas up there.

yep, around here you can get a very nice 2000 sq. ft. ranch in a very nice area for 180-190K, gas prices as ridiculous as they are are normally always cheapest in the midwest.

Alot of them are transplanted NYers actually. Hard to top the dumbness of the unwashed NY suburban masses.

Don't hate on rednecks. We're good people, deep down.

Florida is still a great place imo for the fatass latinas, easy going white girls, and the general carefree(lazy) attitude of the state.

wtf is Donald Trump doing to Sunny Isles, that used to be a fun place for regular families to experience living on the beach in cool funky art deco architecture motels, now it is a row of skyscrapers that block the sun after 4:00 for filthy rich foreigners....I cant believe the people of that area allowed that much construction and to block the sun from the beach like that. Just unbelieveable and terribly sad. and dont say it creates jobs, because it hasnt. The people buying up those condos do not live there.

and the worst part of all Trump as his picture plastered all over the town with the word VISIONARY....what the fuck kind of vision is that and for who?

It ain't just sunny isles.  These massive skyscrapers are everywhere and now completely blanket the coastline of Hollywood and Hallandale.  There ain't much the people here can do about it.....the politicians down here are hand in hand with the developers.  I live in the western suburbs, and they are developing every damn piece of land possible....building mass condo complexes, shopping centers, and Walgreens on every street despite the astronomical foreclosure rates.  Traffic is getting absolutely horrible and is almost impossible to drive to the beaches between 3 and 8 pm. 

You're right dude.  So. Fla is starting to resemble the thousands of other towns and cities all over the US with its clusters of Home Depots, Walgreens, CVS, TGI Fridays, and Quiznos.  And the majority of the populace are priced out of even the halfway decent areas.
