New Jersey and Me

please explain what makes north carolina better then new jersey, or wherever you do live.

I've never visited New Jersey, so I certainly can't make that argument. But I bet the hordes of people who've moved from New Jersey to North Carolina have their reasons.

they cant afford it because taxes are too high, that will be 95% of the answers you get.

You can't compare the two in my opinion. Two totally different worlds but I can honestly say that I have nothing bad to say about the Charlotte area. I love it here and if I thought living in NJ was better I would have gone back long ago.

The only thing that makes me miss NJ is the life long friends that I grew up with....there is a sense of loyalty amongst friends up there that I never sensed down here. Guess it is because you always know where you stand with people up there and down here they say one thing to your face and something different when you turn your back....especially the women.....women are so two faced to one another down here.

Edit * I also miss the food (although you can find it down here now also) and the 24/7 emphasis on sports.

Yeah, I'm just messing around. I've never been to New Jersey so I really can't comment. I hear there are very nice areas up there, as NJPanthers12 has said.

New Jersey just seems to be the brunt of a lot of jokes. Not sure why that started, exactly.

that couldnt be anymore right. people are so sensetive down here that people have to be two faced. everyone has to be politically correct or you are going to hurt someones feelings. with my time down here i have never seen more two faced people in my life. at least in new jersey you can say whatever you want to anyone, and no one cares. no one is fake and they get over it in a few seconds. everyone has the mindset that they care what anyone thinks of them.

amen on the sensitive people part.

grow a pair and deal with reality.

Where there is smoke, there is fire. There is a reason for the jokes. Just like there is a reason behind the West Virginia jokes.....West Virginia is really nice but the jokes are there for a reason.

Never thought of it that way but that makes a lot of sense.

The Nuclear Power plant in Salem? I remember my dad taking me on a tour there as a kid around 1980 or so. Bored me to death.
