Florida's greatest asset may very well be all of the commercial airlines, trains and highways that head in a northerly direction so that we can purge this great state of all of the malcontents that so badly want to move back to... [LMAO]... "Illadelphia", NY State, the "Islands in a sea of rednecks" of the Carolinas and the rust belts of the slowly-but-surely dying Midwest...

Your post is like a verbal bowel movement. Do you feel better now? Florida has many assets and it's diverse newcomers are one of them.

Read it again, this has nothing to do with newcomers or diversity. Malcontents do nothing but complain and rarely contribute positively to the community or society. That's what a malcontent is, "a chronically dissatisfied person". Regardless of where he or she may live, they are never satisfied. If you're not a malcontent and you just prefer to live somewhere else then my comments shouldn't apply to you nor offend you.

But to the malcontents... No one forced you to come here, no one's holding you hostage to stay here...

"the "Islands in a sea of rednecks" of the Carolinas"


You have a problem with rednecks? I'd take them over what FL is filled with now. And I find it a bit suprising coming from someone that lives in Tampa, a bigger version of Daytona Bch. LOL.

And this is coming from a FL native

There's a reason that that phrase is encapsuled in quotations. It's because that phrase originates from the Carolina transplants themselves. But then you probably wouldn't know because you're a Florida native. If you've got a problem with it, take it up with the Carolina boards...

Wrong. I have lived in NC for a while, and never heard such thing. And I'm not sure where you would have heard that anyway, as there are no Carolina transplants in FL. LOL.

Transplants who moved TO Carolina, not FROM Carolina. But I'll tell my buddies from Wilmington, Charlotte and Cary who live in St. Pete and South Tampa that apparently they really weren't born in NC despite what their birth certificates claim.

And umm... because I used to work in Raleigh with a bunch of them? You probably haven't heard of the phrase because you probably don't live on one of those "islands".

LOL! People from Cary and Charlotte that moved to Tampa?!? That's a new one! I guess maybe for a job transfer, but other than that, I just dont see it.

Wilmington? Ehh...

LMAO... You can't be serious?

Now hold on to your skirt... I moved from one of the wealthiest and most expensive areas(Bethesda, MD) in the country to *gasp* ...East Lake in North Pinellas. ...And in doing so I purchased a 4/2/2 house with a pool in a 36 hole professional golf club community less than 6 miles from the #1 rated beach in America at the age of 28.

Raleigh and Charlotte are great places... to take a nap. Seriously, one can only take so much NASCAR and college basketball.

Like I said, that's new to me! Tampa reminds me of a bigger Daytona Bch, that's all.

"And in doing so I purchased a 4/2/2 house with a pool in a 36 hole professional golf club community less than 6 miles from the #1 rated beach in America at the age of 28."

^^^ That's awesome! I only live in a 3/2, it's all I could afford... must have been that NC college education! But congrats on the 4/2 in a golf community! And at the age of 28!
