Better beaches too, nothing like the Jersey shore
New Jersey has less crime than South Carolina? Are you serious? I need to see some official stats before I can believe this. No offense.

You obviously miss the point of the official state snack, official state drink, official state craft. Those have nothing to do with the rest of the world; it's about local culture and history. How could you miss that?

If you want to argue that SC is isolated and insulated, you'll have to do it on other grounds. You're just sounding silly here.

That is true. Newark, Irvington, and Camden are only a few parts of NJ. Few people every think about Englewood Cliffs, Englewood, Parsippany, and other communities that are very safe.

There are alot of things to come out of New Jersey. Arm and Hammer products are made by Church and Dwight in Princeton,NJ, the same place where you have Princeton University. Berlitz(the language books) is in Princeton as well. Anyone ever drink tea made by Lipton? It is made by Unilever in Englewood Cliffs,NJ. Avis Rent a Car is headquartered in Parsippany-Troy Hills. You have Campbell Soup in Camden. Johnson and Johnson is in New Brunswick,NJ.
