Jersey resident for 47 years here, and I have to say the JERSEY STRONG campaign makes me throw up in my mouth.

I'm still trying to figure out the connection between the NJ Strong thing, and the "annoying" people thing.

Exactly. Two entirely different topics.

The "Jersey Strong" slogan really doesn't bother me at all.

I don't care to connect it to politics, maybe that's why?

I think of it more as a: "we live in NJ and even though the state sucks with high taxes, corrupt government all over the state, high housing costs, high cost of living, crappy roads, crappy schools, crappy cities, crappy towns, (not all, of course and I'd dare to say more good than bad) etc., when people of NJ come together as one (especially after a disaster like Sandy, and people are STILL volunteering to help where ever they can on the weekends), well: we're Jersey Strong". Can't really be Pennsyltucky Strong...

Like I said, it doesn't bother me, and I haven't found one good argument as to why it should. But that's just me and my opinion.

How about "Jersey Fresh"? Does that bother people too?

Haha, I'm not sure what it is that sickens me about it. At least I'm not the only one.

Default Just Honest

Well, maybe there are people living in NJ that wish they weren't. I would love to leave, but I can't right now. So I'm just unhappy here.

I don't know. It just feels like the people sporting that sticker would just annoy me if I had to talk to them. Annoying sticker=annoying promoters of the sticker...to me, anyway. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.
