10. Bad drugs
9. Bad dealers with bad drugs
8. Bad people with drugs
7. Bored bad people on drugs
6. Getting carjacked by crack-heads who bought bad drugs from their
bad dealers
5. My co-worker's girlfriend's 21 year old son dying from bad herion (laced
with stryknine poisoning)...I know, he shouldn't have been doing the bad
herion in the first place
4. A friend of mine dying from drugs 2 1/2 years ago (herion)
3. An overabundance of predatorial scammers
2. Bad police departments (anyone that's lived in Ft. Lauderdale knows
what I mean)
1. Windstorm insurance prices skyrocketing which will probably have more
MDs writing scripts for pain meds, which will produce more crime and car
accidents....  |

1; you believe that "god allmighty himself could never ever survive even a category 1 hurricane 75 miles inland"
2; you do not like being waved at and said "hi" to on the streets or at the beach
3; you want absolutely nothing to do with the community or anybody who does not live right next door to you.
4; you love snow and winter's deep freeze.
5; you do not think that florida wants to improve more.
6; you think that florida is "terrible", but you do not realize that there are places on this planet that are a million times worse than florida.
7; you have not seen how bad cities like detroit, st louis, paterson, chicago, and los angeles are.
8; you enjoy watching the sun set at 4:15 or earlier
9; you enjoy freezing your butt off several months a year, keeping all your windows closed and sealed up, suffering carbon monoxide poisoning, and having a heart attack while shoveling snow.
10; you're trying to catch hypothermia riding your bicycle.

Yup, you sure can, but they are not the norm. The problem is that Florida has a HIGH CONCENTRATION of them.
Not that I care. I don't live their anymore!
You like it? You can have it!  |

As a former Floridian(sp?) a agree with this post. And CityGirl I lived 45 minute south of South Beach and yes it was fun but I was 21 at the time. Now at 27 I'm glad I left as it is way to over populated for my taste.

There is not a high concentration of any of that in northwest Florida |

Why? Because I can.
And because a lot of the people on these threads have a great sense of humor.
I agree about northwest Florida. That is not what we are complaining about.
I think that northwest Florida is great. Really great. That is more like Florida use to be.
Oh, and I also have Florida in my face everyday. Those same Fort myers jerks that I complain about? They are moving HERE. To Tennessee. I am seriously considering going to northwest Florida if they completely destroy the place!  |

lol- yeah- its the concentration of them that makes it bad- Yamato Road in PBC in 1999 was sometimes quiet. The year we left (2005) there was a 15 (yes 15) car pileup (Lexus SUV's mostly). If I wanted to live in the midst of that I would just stay in NYC. Midtown Manhattan is safer than drivers in S. Florida. |
