...why would you wanna leave this?...
The climate, the traffic, the crime, the pollution, the tolls, the cost-of-living.
The only thing I would miss is having my gas pumped for me!

All this talk about North Carolina. Since when is North Carolina such a utopia?! They built up Raleigh a little due to companies running there and this place is heaven all of sudden? I drove through Durham and Winston Salem and it made Newark look like Beverly Hills!
My view of North Carolina:
An over-rated southeast state that has its head so far up its own ass you can't tell where it ends and South Carolina begins. Clings to the relics of the Confederacy because that makes racism and backward-thinking romantic. Home to "Yankees" that no one liked in New England anyway. North Carolinans seem to believe that to be eaten, food must be fried. Carolina Barbecue is nothing but shredded pork and vinegar, and is absolutely not special. Eastern North Carolina has no topography whatsoever, and is riddled with swamps and rednecks. Insects are large enough to carry small children away.
Summary:
A place where people who hate their own states can come and hate this one. Rated as the best place to live in America but in reality, is just as bad as everywhere else that Starbucks has taken over. Its filled with out-of-towners trying to fit in and confused rednecks trying to hold on to their Confederacy heritage that is irrelevent because the Rebels lost the war. Filled with ignorant racists. No public transportation. Hog **** filled rivers. Too many far right churches. Redneck ass basketball fans who didn't attend their school of choice.

I ate at my very first Shoney's in North Carolina. Lots of fried food on that menu even though they have a buffet table (then again, Shoney's is a Southern chain restaurant). I didn't think it would be that common though for most of the state. |

no I never said that, i was just stating something.
but now that u mention it, Yeah I think those are reasons. How long are people gonna keep running from problems like cattle? It's time for America to grow some balls and fight out the hard times and their causes. Did Vietnamese abandon their home when war broke out? They didn't and today they're sovereign. My quality of life isn't determined by a big house or low taxes. |

Well.....you need to be more articulate next time your just stating "something" ?

Geeze.......how bad is it living in New Jersey when we have to compare how miserable and expensive life is here to life in Vitenam during the war to make ourselves feel better........we're not just digging for excuses in the bottom of the barrel......we're looking under the barrel now !!! It may interest you to know that I do have balls and they've informed me repeatedly they would be much happier living someplace else........like you, my quality of life isn't solely determined by owning a large home or having the lowest taxes but I can tell you for sure that living near a historic library or oldest known drug store definitely isn't on the top of the "qualities of life" list either.....in fact.....I don't even think they are on the second page !!!
