I really don't care what they think. I didn't want to come here in first place. I WANT my cold weather. I would rather shovel SNOW than walk around in the blazing, endless, Florida SUN.

I have no desire to change Florida. I just want to go HOME.

I don't think that all Floridians dislike northerners. You have to understand that Florida is a pretty big state and South Florida, Central Florida and Northern Florida are quite different.

I don't hate northerns; but I dislike New Yorkers. Most New Yorkers in Florida seem to think that every state should be exactly like New York and everyone should act the way New Yorkers act. Having a conversation with a New Yorker living in Florida goes as follows..


Me: What did you do this weekend?

New Yorker: I went to the mall.

Me: Shopping Spree?

New Yorker: No, everything in the stores down here suck. Back in New York we have all the latest fashion.

Me: Oh, really? Sorry you didn't see anything you like. I went to the Movies to see .......

New Yorker: Movies come out in New York before the rest of the country. Transportation system sucks compared to New York. Life in the Big City is so much better than here.

(I walk away from the conversation)

New Yorker: Did you know New York is the life blood of America. Back in New York we have the best hot dogs. Have you ever had a New York Style pizza?

I had been staying out of this thread and the many like it that just seem to constantly generalize about anything and everything.

I have lived all over Florida and met people from all walks of life. I have not consistantly encountered native Floridians who dislike northerners just for the fact they were northerners. Anyone making generalizations such as this would just have to be an all around unlikeable person.

Of course you will run into others like yourself who will make a broad statements about a group of people without knowing anything about the individual. What you will have then is 2 people making sweeping statements based on absolutely no fact.

By no means do I get along with everyone I meet but I make a concerted effort to be at least minimally gracious. If you continually run into people that dislike you the moment they meet you then look in the mirror not back at the other person.

Generalize much?

New York does have the best pizza though.

Not according to the score that counts... which is the final score...You can ask General Lee, who surrendered, he knows the good guys won, otherwise, this guy in the White House today wouldn't be President.

I am a New Yorker and the only comment I have ever made similar to what you relayed was in regards to the pizza.
I also know many NYers down here and they are not remotely like what you portrayed.

Maybe it's a generational thing.
