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.


Well , hurricanes are one reason but Florida has a host of others to
stay away:

1. Cockroaches ......LOTS OF EM ( also known as "palmetto bugs" in order to
water down the icky factor, don't be fooled though, they are just larger
roaches......that fly........very well) and a plethora of other pests that
you WILL come into contact with on a personal level whether you want to or
not..........this includes scorpions and brown recluse spiders btw, both
poisonous.

2. Staggering humidity ( well not all of florida but anything south of the
tropical line is brutal)

3. Job market isn't so great.

4. There ain't no mountains, not a one!. There has basically GOT to be
something wrong with that. In fact , the highest point in the state is only
a measely *345* feet high!.

5. Swamps........hell most of the state is a swamp.

6. Highest percentage of over 80 year olds behind the wheel of a
car.......THAT can't be a good thing.

7. Alot of white trash, yeah I know that can be found in alot of states.
Just seems worse in Florida for some reason though.

8. Basically Florida has one or 2 seasons, depending on where you live in
the state. For a 4 season kinda guy like me , not a good thing.

9. Alligators coming into contact with people in or near their homes,
killing or maiming them and/or their pets. It's not a good thing. Been
happening more frequently too.


10. FLORIDIANS ARE VOTING-MACHINE CHALLENGED.


In case any of you are wondering, yeah I spent a couple of years in that
awful state.


Enjoy the remainder of your evening.


Agree on # 7...there are alot of trashy people in that state. I've worked
marketing campaigns there and visited friends there. It seems as if the
demographics are split 3 ways. The wealthy living in beautiful enclaves
such as Naples, Boca, Jupiter,Palm Beach to site a few. Then there is the large
group of nice middle class retirees who populate most of the state and then
there is the trash factor; scam artists, rough talking trades people, over-
aged beach hippies and the criminals who seem to gravitate to Florida.
Have you ever watched America's most wanted...the punks are always found
in Florida!

Where the **** do YOU live Brian? It must be another planet. As for your
wee pal above... bitching about trailer trash while admitting that
America's Most Wanted is a weekly staple of your TV diet is a tad
hypocritical. Do you suppose he has every COPS episode on tape?

What's wrong with watching one of the longest running programs on TV? If you
had studied history, you would realize that a loophole was created that
allowed Castro to release cuban prisoners which ended up in Miami. Also,
lots of drugs are smuggled in there. DUH!

If you were sitting on a hemorrhoid for 10 years would you learn to enjoy
it, simply because it's been around for a long time? At least the guy isn't
quoting from Jerry Springer, that other TV longevity leviathan.

I guess you support the Old Testament way of punishing unruly children:
Take them outside the village walls and stone them to death.
