It's funny because I've never met any New Yorkers in person who would bash New Jersey. I don't see the point either, yeah lets bash THE STATE YOU LIVE NEXT TO. Well, I have family from both and I have lived in both NJ and NY, so I wouldn't bash either. I don't get it though, some of you are crazy. Man, NY and NJ are supposed to have eachothers backs, instead it's always the battle of the Hudson River.

Despite my efforts it stopped having anything to do with Georgia along time ago. Most of the Georgia Poster have long stopped trying to get in on what's been going like this.
New Jersey Poster: We are so great. We have this.
Georgia Poster: But you don't have this. We do.
New Jersey Poster: Yeah but we can go into New York and have that.
New York Poster: Stop leaning on us. New Jersey sucks!
New Jersey Poster: No we don't.
Yes you do.
No we don't

Yes you do.
Georgia Poster: Our State has good literary authors.
New Jersey Poster: Not good as ours cause our cities are so dense.
Georgia Poster: What does density have to do with that?
New Jersey Poster: Density has to do with everything!! Density is GOD!! You sprawl loving, Southerner! Besides New York has so many writers rite next to us.
New York Poster: Stop using us as a crutch. New Jersey Sucks!
No we Don't!

Hahahah. It's pretty much this.
How about we get this thread back on track though....
Name five native residents from your state that changed the world/were integral in a defining moment in history/major national leader. Infamous people are allowed, but people who were born in the state and grew up elsewhere or people who grew up elsewhere but moved to the state later in life can not be included. People who were born in other states/countries but moved to the state as a small child. Pop culture icons can be included, but only those who have had a significant effect on the area of the arts they focussed on.

Like him or not he did revolutionize the movie industry. Before him there were almost no Black film makers or influence in Hollywood.
This may be shocking to some to know but Georgia music goes back waay before and beyond todays Rap scene.
Yeah, Ray and Lil' Richard almost made the cut, but I think James Brown has had a larger effect across several genres of music and pop culture at large.

Little Richard's not given nearly enough credit for the influence he had on Rock and Roll. He was truly one of the pioneers.
What a stupid response. The bx is a section of a city, nj is a state. Act and conduct yourselves like one. And crime is no worst in the bronx than brooklyn. Like that would matter to me since i live in a gated community in the bronx
I provided a link that says otherwise ,
*EDIT* changed response, not gonna feed the troll anymore

Likewise, I've never heard of so much fire and brimstone (repeatedly) in regards to NY/NJ issues. Especially if it's literally from ONE person lol.

This kind of comparison is not going to be good for Georgia, as NJ has produced so many far more influential people. A short list:
President Grover Cleveland
Frank Sinatra
Count Basie
Bud Abbot and Lou Costello
Jerry Lewis
General "Stormin' Norman" Schwarzkopf
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin
Martha Stewart
Aaron Burr
William Carlos Williams
Derek Jeter
You don't want this to go on, NJ owns this category...
