dios! Take these comments with a grain of salt. The people here are not that bad, you'll come across a ***RUDE PERSON*** here and there, but give me a break, you aren't in a city full of hatred. This city is great, and if you have a good attitude you'll love it here!

As far as the hurricane scares go.. where are we going to leave to? California? Oh wait there's earthquakes.. well there's always central Georgia


Edit: I'll take a hurricane scare over 6 months of gray and snow.

This thread is funny as some of the posters here are the personification of friendliness.

So let me make this as simple as possible: Hand over the cat fund and we Floridians will stay put, folks. Otherwise, we're leaving Paradise for Peoria. Get ready for butterfly ballots and jerks in flip-flops making right turns from far left lanes. I'm serious — we're as obnoxious as New Yorkers without the work ethic. Give us the cat fund, America, or we'll panel your walls with mirrors.

Smile Leaving Florida

Tragedy happens everywhere. Personally, I like it here in South Florida.

Now, how to impliment it so it's fair, low cost and doesn't get bogged down in government "bloatery."
