Look at the graph, rude people and crime are leading the way. But everyone is wrong I guess.

I don't think you'd ever see me living in Georgia, unless someone wants to pay me a boatload of money for some job where I have to live in Georgia.

I've mentioned that ideally I'd have homes in a number of states, and if that doesn't come to pass, I'd eventually have my only home in the interior west--Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada . . . --one of those states.

I have no doubts that some people believe that too many folks are rude in Florida or that some people regularly worry about crime. I also do not think that someone can be objectively wrong that they believe that too many folks are rude or that they believe that crime is something they should worry about.

"Someone can hardly be (objectively) wrong about "The beaches are ugly", just like someone could hardly be (objectively) wrong about "The beaches are beautiful". It's necessarily a subjective assessment. If Joe thinks the beaches are ugly, then to Joe, the beaches are ugly, and that's a fact (that Joe thinks that the beaches are ugly). Now, Joe could be wrong if he thinks that the fact that he (and whoever else) thinks that the beaches are ugly implies that someone else will think that the beaches are ugly. There could be ways that he could predict whether someone else will think that the beaches are ugly, but those ways involve knowing the tastes and opinions of the other person in question and making a prediction based on that."


Yes, precisely (pinkie in the air whilst I sip my fine wine). I agree with that at which I agree, but agreement not upon those who disagree with the agreement which we should agree upon.

People need to stop generalizing and attacking other races in here.

u4icmusic.........Just because you had an issue with a hispanic, doesnt mean every hispanic is the same. Grow up! LOL

This isn't about a hispanic. This is about an 2 entire neighborhoods of hispanics, mostly illegal, many of them with roosters in their back yards, most of them living 3 and 4 families in a single family home, and most, not all of them not speaking English and treating English speaking people rudely. Had I been having an issue with a neighbor who happened to be hispanic, I wouldn't have posted my comments. However, when it's an entire community of hispanics all with the same issues, then I can safely say my post was honest, correct and not racial at all. I was just pointing out the facts that I have seen and code enforcement has been tackling in two neighborhoods, Chula Vista and Holland Estates. Want to get more info on this? Talk to the few remaining English speaking residents of Lake Worth and see how that one nice city has been totally destroyed by the Hispanic population that moved there. Don't believe me, jump on the tri-rail and get off at the Lake Worth stop and start walking around. You will see public urination, Hispanics sleeping on park benches (passed out from alcohol, I should say), litter, run down housing, prostitutes and drug use right in front of your eyes. They have no fear of law enforcement and continue to move there in droves. In a few years they will be able to bulldoze the entire city.

If I ever say something that's unclear to anyone, I do not mind explaining it or trying to reword it. Just ask. I would never say it's necessarily someone else's fault that something I wrote seems unclear (and for one, as I keep saying in my "reasons for editing", I tend to be a typo king). You can even ask me in a private message, and I won't ever report to anyone else that you've asked me, and I'd never "hold that against" anyone, I'd never assume that they must be not so intelligent if it seemed unclear, etc.

It was an attempt at humor. I thought it was pretty funny myself.

Hmm . . . I know (non-Hispanic) caucasians who live in Lake Worth and do not agree with that.

Right, but I'm suspecting that it was rooted in some things seeming unclear to some readers, so I'm just letting folks know.

Well, I could give some first names, but what good would that do. There's Kim, and Rick, and Mike, and . . . lol

I know of immigrants that moved from Lake Worth to Port Saint Lucie due to the crime in Lake Worth.
