Why do they dislike us so???? (place to live, to move, train)

I, too, have been very concerned about this Ninja plague. I think we should petition our local governments to allocate funds to eradicate this problem, maybe a State wide spraying program?
I know that this problem got so out of control in Ms. that the Ninja's actually mutated!
A Mutant Ninja is far, far more dangerous than your regular pesky Ninja.
I, for one, am will to pay a little extra in taxes to nip this problem in the bud!

I absolutely love Sussex and Warren Counties; however, I wouldn't give 2 cents for the rest of the state. Too much industry.

You have to remember that there are so many places here in New Jersey... Most of which are gorgeous (Alpine, Closter, Montclair, Menham, Princeton, Teaneck, Fort Lee, Ridgewood, Spring Lake, Hoboken, other Areas in South Jersey and Western Jersey that I can't name specifically)...What if you actually came from one of those crappy towns (few and far between)??? Those are the people that have nothing nice to say about New Jersey. I'm sorry, I'm not moving anywhere, where the center of town is WalMart and people drive pick-up trucks!!! I lived in Virginia Beach, for FIVE YEARS!!! I've travelled to Europe, South America, Canada, Mexico, Most of the Caribbean, 26 States....so I know a little about what's out there in the world. Although Virginia Beach, was pretty, there was a lack a smart people and people that held REAL JOBS. Here is where there is opportunity, people actually OWN passports, and have more than a high school education....Enough venting. I just get sick of it too. I will gladly pay my HIGH Bergen County taxes, for the pleasure of being around people that I love and easy access to the city that I love, NYC.

On a serious note
One of those jersey ninja's is running loose in Staten Island Ny

It was just on cbs news radio about a Ninja burglar that has been targeting homes in Staten Island

Funny you should mention this...my husband made it safely in and out of Howell yesterday without any Ninja encounters. But he did report a possible Ninja sighting near the Outerbridge. Must be those gosh darn Staten Island Ninjas acting up again! Diane's right, they just can't be trusted!

I had to edit this post because I can't believe it, but...there really is a Ninja burglar in Staten Island. (broken link)

Even though you said you were serious...I still thought you were kidding, Brian. Pretty bizarre stuff, huh?

My friends here not only own passports but have lived in different parts of the world. One lived in Japan and Tawain .She owns a $800,000 home here. He husband has been transfered all over. She hopes to stay here now, She likes it. She only pays $4500 taxes on that home . Her husband is a VP at Catapillar Financial, a real Job.
I also have many friends here that came with the Nissan relocation, also a real Job. They are in Brentwood, so taxes are less, she's in Green Hills so more pricy.
All of my neighbors hold executive positions. They would be living in less expensive parts of Nashville if they didn't, like east Nashville, . But NJ has that also, go south or very north or in the inner cities.
My best friend in my subdivision here owns 2 mercedes., one a station wagon, one a Convertable. She is from the San Fransisco bay area orginally but moved here from Chicago. She also lived in North Jersey 15 years.
I'm going on a Med cruise next year. My friend is thinking about one, going to the Greek islands. One of my friends is now in Ireland and Scotland.
People here own boats that they dock at our many lakes and rivers.
I rather be here than NJ any day, and now I don't have to worry that my husband won't make it home from NYC, which I do on the days he must fly their on business. BTW, his companies main office is here in Nashville.
