I am a northern Transplant with 2 degrees and I don't judge southerners in such a way... and trust me, tourist dollars keep the state afloat, not northern transplants (and certainly not old stay at home moms posting on forums all day). Ever think that elitist attitude and outlook may be contributing to what is keeping the "trash" down?

Oh wow you told me!Look I'm not the reason Marty Methhead is biking to his job pushing a lawn mower...it's pure laziness to have had the oppotunity of living in this great country for generations,speak the language and still not be able to figure out what every asian kid can tell you as he/she steps onto American soil that success comes from hard work and education!

Your "northern education" clearly didn't include sociology. I guess Everest is failing up there too.

Yes being lazy is a social problem! I have my degree in marketing so I had many classes in socio-economics...but this isn't the thread to debate why asians vs white students score better in math...etc...I was commenting on what I wish would change here in Florida...I never said white trash could only be found in Florida...only that I had never experienced it to the degree I have since moving to Florida...never even heard anyone referred to as a red neck or cracker prior to moving here...! Everest? I would put my SUNY degree up against any Florida "state" school...

Florida State and Florida are both terrible schools, aren't they?

by the way, if your handle reflects your ethnicity then you should know that your people were once viewed as the "trash" of the country, did you think that was a fair viewpoint?
Yes we were immigrants who held the lowest place in American society when we First arrived...through hard work and value of education we rose to the top very quickly...I just want to know how a group that can trace their family lines back to the Mayflower()...can still be circling the drain? Sarah PalinThat's just an example of white trash with money!

I would put FSU and UF against SUNY.

Those Asians are very book smart, but they are also socially awkward and many are clinically depressed. There are certain trade offs.

No they aren't...but any of the SUNY schools are just as good...I thought you were comparing my SUNY degree to an Everest degree that's all!
