Why do people live in Florida?

I think that you have the relationship reversed. Mickey has both Jeb &
shrub as hostages.

A massive hurricane seems to hit Florida every few years. I really don't
understand why people continue to live there. Don't they get tired of having
to evacuate every summer, and having their houses destroyed? Someone explain
this to me.


Jeb is holding Mickey Mouse hostage?

rest snipped for space

I agree with just about everything Pete said. As far as humidity,
being a native Georgian, I know heat and humidity, but FL is WORSE!
Once you get away from ocean or gulf breezes, it's almost always
like a friggin' sauna down there (except of course during dry periods
during winter). Plus, you have (near the ocean or gulf) all that
salt in the air that can add to the misery and deposits of salt everywhere.

Biting insects? The place can be a living hell. Worse than just about
anywhere I can imagine in the U.S.

White trash? FL has got to be one of the biggest magnets in America for
the raggedly-ass set. It's because of the warmth and the fact that the
state has nearly one big shoreline as a border. People like that
are attracted to places like this. I've visited FL quite a few times,
but I sure as hell would never want to live there. Never.

Still not significant, because a hurricane can be defined as a random event.

Actually, it may be HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT, **IF** the 4 or 5 houses were
among the only ones left standing in a neighbourhood devastated by
Hurricanes and/or storms...

It would be highly significant, if after several hurricanes had passed
through his town, they all left the same 4-5 houses standing.

It's really easy to work out the odds of his 4 houses being all knocked down
by tornadoes. 6th grade probability will show you that it's miniscule.

But as he says, he was responding to an "idiot". Not sure what that really
entails, but hey - goodlucktaya!

Works for me, they just take too damn long too execute them. They knew
the
rules and chose to play. People seem to forget that the criminal is not
the
victim and execution is a punishment not a deterrent.

It does cut the recidivism WAY back though.


I was going to say that but it is a big word for liberals to sound out.

And one other thing I forgot. I believe FL ranks #1 in
the U.S. with most thunderstorm days per year. Central FL
is one of the lightning capitals of the world. So much
for the "Sunshine State" moniker...
