Anyway, you are talking about college students. Majoirty of them are probably Florida natives or raised in Florida. Most of them I met back then were. I was talking about TRANSPLANTS in my other post.

How much state pride do you think they have if they aren't from Florida, and especially if they are old?
Naples is only a smalle corner of Florida

In Florida you can go from this: Biscayne Park FL - Google Maps

To this: Summerbrook, Tallahassee, FL - Google Maps

To this: Clermont, FL - Google Maps

Clermont, FL - Google Maps

Clermont, FL - Google Maps

Clermont, FL - Google Maps

To this: Weeki Wachee Gardens, FL - Google Maps

Hernando Beach, FL - Google Maps

To this: Cedar Key, FL - Google Maps

Cedar Key, FL - Google Maps

Cedar Key, FL - Google Maps

And eventualy back to this: bridge - Google Maps

Clearwater Beach, Clearwater, FL - Google Maps

Universal Boulevard, Orlando, FL - Google Maps

Miami Beach FL - Google Maps

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=...20.94,,0,-5.16

These are all different from Naples.

Indeed.
A republican NY transplant who does not like NJ? I'm shocked!
Repubs like to scream & yell about how awful "wealth redistribution" is, yet many live in welfare states. NJ gives far, far more than it receives.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander, no?
NC NEEDS & DEPENDS on NJ's federal tax dollars. The next time your arrogant, conservative NY self is screaming about how you should not be paying for other peoples health care; you should keep in mind that we subsidize you.
What a clown!

Most conservative states do, yeah haha. But there are three conservative states that don't get more money than they give. Texas being one of those three.

But in reality New Jersey gets screwed by the amount they get back, they have it the worst out of all 50 states. They give $1 and only get back $0.61 for every dollar they give.

Pretty surprising, no?
Not surprising that you live in NJ and your google searches have to do with NJ

If I do the same thing on my computer it brings up Florida first and NJ is not on the list.

It is not google it is what you have previously done on your computer

Ooh, I just saw that the google search recommendations goes by your location and similar search history.
Whoops It wasn't always like that until recently.

NJ has a proud bunch of people regardless.

Yes, you are right about Naples. With a population of 21, 0000 (city????) it is a one horse town. Even Miami is a one horse town compared to where I am from.
