puzzled wrote in message ... 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! |

Have you ever watched America's most wanted...the punks are always found in Florida! I've done some business on eBay and found that the only times I got stuck with defective merchandise was when the seller was in Florida. I'm not talking about big money here, just nickel and dime stuff, but, to me, it says a lot about the social climate in that state. 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? Ü |

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! |
