You wouldn’t do anything to leave NJ, because anything would include going to NJ.
good point
I think it is implied that you are already there. And quit using logic.
good point
secumd!
Dude. This graph just plan sucks. I mean seriously, what was the point?
he’s just saying how everyone hates Jersey
hey! i’m from Jersey! how can you say…. oh, wait… i see your point
Clearly, someone has never been to New Jersey.
Clearly, someone does not necessarily need to have been to New Jersey before they make fun of it. New Jersey does have a negative connotation in general, or at least is the subject of many jokes.
That’s smart. Rag on something you have no knowledge of.
Hey, it happens with Twilight all the time
But that’s warranted.
Indeed it is.
twilight does suck tho and yes i have read the book and seen the movie
thats just what the media wants you think i live in a small island in south jersey called Brigantine, and it is awesome here i can walk a block to the beach and fish all day or i can watch some of the most beutiful sunsets. also the crime rate is over-exagerated the only “bad” cities are Atlantic city, camden, and trenton. where i come from there was only one murder in the past 40 years
Yeah, the media makes up the crime, the dredge of society that travels there specifically for the gambling (and they’re about .2 seconds from your precious Brigantine), and the trashtastic nature of a state that’s made entirely of suburb. Yeah. It’s the media’s fault. Totally.
This isn’t the media talking. This is from someone who’s traveled extensively and landed there for work for a while. Jersey sucks a big, angry diseased one, and the only thing I wanted to do while I lived there was get the hell out.
We don’t want you here, stay out for your work affairs and ‘extensive travel’. New Jersey is an incredibly rare location and I’m proud to live in it. We are dead centered between New York, Philadelphia, the ocean, and Washington DC. We have a unique culture and the media perpetuates the stereotype of a “trashy” lifestyle which is baseless at best. It’s the most densely populated state in the nation, so your “experience” is a moot point.
honestly.. jersey sucks. lived in it my whole life. north and south. both suck. its boring. its lame. everyone here is an asshole. crazy stupid laws. obnoxious children. every thing here sucks balls.
You forgot Newark.
Clearly your life in jersey has been a sheltered one. Obviously places such as Newark, Bridgeton, Salem, Penns Grove, Burlington and New Brunswick to name a few, do not exist. I have lived in jersey for almost 30 years and do agree there are some fabulous things about it. however, i do plan on leaving soon.
I am from NJ. I curse… a lot. I say “yo”, and I say it often. I never had school on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. I sure as hell don’t pump my own gas. I know what real pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is much more than a fuckin’ roll with a hole in the middle. I judge people by what exit they get off the parkway. I can navigate a circle–with attitude. All good nights must end at a diner–preferably with cheese fries. It’s a sub, not a hoagie or, worse yet, a hero, and I wash it down with soda, not pop. Two words… “mother fucker.” I don’t go to the beach, I go down the shore. And boardwalk brawls are just a part of the atmosphere. Yes, I drink cawfee. I know that 65mph really means 80. I’ve always lived within 10 minutes of a mall. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn AND the finger. And they expect it. I am from New Jersey, and damn proud of it.”
To rag on the state you live in I guess?
I love New Jersey. Cape May Count, Sea Isle City, Wildwood, … I love it. <3
I love it too! My parents live in the country with all horse farms and woods around. It’s so beautiful!
New Jersey doesn’t have real country. It has “let’s pass all kinds of onerous zoning laws to make this look like country.”
True. And I live in that “country”. AKA Suburbia
yeah you are definitely right, i mean when you can live on 250+ acres and your neighbor has the same and oh wait there is not one property smaller than 250+ acre lots for miles and you can drive literally 15 minutes between houses then yes that is not country. you are right though we don’t have thousand mile long ranches. we do have the oldest rodeo in the country. hmmmm
That’s better than a bunch of states (like Florida) that pass all kinds of onerous zoning laws that are turning the place into a cesspool
wildwood = fail. seriously now come on.
Hater.
Hater AND tired. By the way, the only people who call Great Adventure “Six Flags” and say “go to the NJ shore” instead of “go down the shore” are misinformed tourists who think people from NJ actually say “Joisey”. Therefore, this person must be a tourist and has no one to blame for his being in NJ but himself.
Yes, he definitly is a tourist. No one who lives in New Jersey calls Great Adventure “Six Flags”. And any New Jerseyan never would use the term “go down to the NJ shore”. They would use the term “go down the shore”. You are obviously a misinformed tourist who has never set foot in New Jersey.
Wow is there an echo in here? You ever had an original thought you greasy, gold chain wearing NJ guido?
I want to ‘Hang of with Guidos’!
I’m slightly concerned as to what that could mean, literally.
Not everyone from NJ is Italian, you know. Some of them are Jewish.
too many jews in northern jersey.
Oh that was intelligent.
The guidos are from North Jersey. And the hicks are from the south. That’s why Central Jersey is so chill. We have normal people, the best of the Jersey shore, Six Flags, and we’re within an hour/hour and a half from Philly and New York.
hell yeahhhh.
you couldn’t be any more wrong. The hicks are in north Jersey…Sussex county anyone?!
yes. i live in south jersey and i am perfectly normal
i live in south jersey and there are hardly any hicks
I think they meant the pine barrens. There are lots of hicks there.
Word.
I live in South Jersey, too, and there’s honestly not that much difference between Central and South Jersey. Stop being stereotypical. It’s rude.
Actually, plenty of “New Jerseyans” wouldn’t use the term “go down the shore.”
Some of us say “go to the beach”
True, and Im in central Jersey and we call it 6 flags.
I live 4 minutes away from the place and I call it six flags.
And I say Jersey shore to denote the fact that it is not just some ordinary beach. It’s the JERSEY shore.
No one in central through south NJ, anyway. I went to school in Wayne (north Jersey, for those who don’t know) and had this conversation: “I live near Jackson. You know, Great Adventure? How do you not know what that is?! Oh, you call it Six Flags. Sigh.”
Except for being unholy expensive to live here, it’s no better or worse than other places.
This is not possible because tourists don’t go to New Jersey. They only pass through on their way to New York City. They don’t call it “The Armpit of America” for no reason.
almost half of the homes in Brigantine an island in Jersey are for the tourist that come down for the summer
almost half of the homes in Brigantine an island in Jersey are for the tourist that come down for the summer
Having lived in several different states, trust me when I say that NJ is hardly the armpit of America.
Now if you want to talk about Texas…
Amen….. Texas blows….at Least the Houston area. I’ve never seen such stupid zoning laws, or lack thereof, in my life. It’s hot a shit, people can’t drive and everyone pretends to be a cowboy during the Rodeo. That city is a joke.
Absolutly!!!!
but who would vacation in New “joisey”
Are you retarded? No one here speaks like that.
i agree. NJ sucks. can’t wait to leave.
too damn expensive to live here.
It is too expensive, but there are some good points, too, as mentioned above.
I will freely admit that it is a pain for non NJers to drive there. Newark and Atlantic City should fall into the ocean and we’re too crammed, but I loved living there.
This graph is SO TRUE.
Ya know, its fun seeing how much misinformed people from the other 49 states hate the wonderful state of New Jersey. I bet most of them have never stepped in New Jersey. And if you have, you probably stayed on the highway on you way to New York or Phillildelphia, never going into any of the suburbs.
NJ Pride! The best part is — more for us!
Exactly. I love New Jersey. Leaving was the one thing I regret the most.
me too. *pout*
where did you end up? I’m in AZ, wanting nothing more than to head back to Morristown
And that’s exactly why they think we stink. Because their only experience was of the Turnpike up near Newark. DX
Yes Newark sucks, not the rest of Jersey
By all means, go. The exits are clearly marked.
Actually, they’re not. You can drive in circles forever because the signs are either too small to see, post only right at the exit, causing you to miss it, or not there at all.
I’ve been all over New Jersey. My In-laws are there. It sucks.
you suck. please stop commenting.
no, s/he’s right. I lived in Jersey for 21 years and if you don’t know where you’re going, you’re never going to get there. Most exit signs are posted AT or AFTER the exit. God I miss NJ
Or you can get glasses, you blind fuck. lol
What’s “Hang of with Guidos”?
Watch the tv show about John Gotti’s family.
They live in Long Island.
Yes, but Jersey has Guidos too. Homer was just saying where to find research material on guido’s in general.
He still didn’t explain what “Hang of with Guidos” means.
Hang OUT?
Have you ever seen the abundance of “Welcome to NJ…now go home” items? Yeah, we want you out, too. ;]
agreed.
Stupid Bennys.
Isn’t it funny how the worst parts of NJ are in the corridor between Philadelphia and NYC? Get away from that part and NJ looks quite a bit different.
Thats completly true. Those locations are all highway. I live in Northern Jersey and it is worlds away from anywhere near new york or philly.
I agree – I’m from southern NJ and this part (and Northwestern NJ) is why they call it the Garden State. Most people who make fun of NJ have never been or heard of anywhere other than the typical Jersey stereotypes.
Ditto. That’s why it’s so ridiculous for people to rag on something they’ve only seen from a highway. But they can stay away — more for us! South Jersey <3
I live in northern NJ and it is quite a nice place. I live in a quaint town that was rated the 9th best place to live by money magazine. Our school’s scores for the SAT’s and HESPA’s outrank most of the rest of the country. But, if you want to bitch about NJ sucking, take your pea-brained SAT score of 900 back to philly >:D
Coming from New Jersey…
It is boring, but not nearly as bad as residents of the other 49 states think it is. The Jersey Shore and AC are actually really nice. (Just stay away from Newark, Elizabeth, Union, Camden, & Jersey City
I live in Jersey City, and it isn’t as bad as you think it is.
But hey, at least we aren’t Ohio.
Yeah.
(You forgot Trenton — it can be pretty nasty, too, and not just ’cause of the rotten politicians.)
Grove Street Plaza in Jersey City is a great place. There are artist markets, great local papers, and jazz musicians.
Close your eyes and hold your breath you’re going past Elizabeth. Dear gods that smell was SO foul.
I sued Delta Airlines because i bought a ticket to New Jersey. I went there, and it sucked!
(Weird Al, “I’ll Sue Ya”)
LOL Love that song! But, as a New Jerseyan, I must say I love NJ too.
That’s why weird al isn’t funny.
That’s why you have 0 sense of humor
In defense of NJ, it depends where you are. As a friend put it, some of the best places to live in the US are in NJ . . . as are some of the worst.
How about “Going to the Adventures of Pete and Pete houses?”
This is offensive! Take it down right away.
Coincidently that is exactly what I want you to do as well. Although you could take the fist pumping guidos with you, but that’d be too much to ask for…
Bennies go home.
hey @$$hole i hapen to live in NJ u jerk
El-oh-el at the butt-hurt NJ residents who can’t take a joke. Get over it, Jersey sucks when compared to places like Long Island. But even Long Island sucks, so… yeah.
Retards can’t take a joke, meanwhile worse is said about places in the south, worse is said about NYC, worse is said about everywhere else in the world. Gotta love it, eh?
Jokes about New York are generally funny, true, and incisively clever. For example:
A tourist walks up to a New Yorker and says, “Could you direct me to Central Park or should I just go fuck myself?”
Now that’s funny. And best of all, it’s making fun of people’s misconceptions about New Yorkers rather than playing on those tired stereotypes; New York was rated the most polite city in the world recently. By Readers’ Digest, sure, but we’ll take it. This graph isn’t at all clever. It’s as tired as being asked “What exit?” when you say you’re from Jersey. What exit off of what, asshole? There’s more than one road in the state.
On top of that, “Go the New Jersey Shore” sounds like Inspector Gadget trying to deploy a beach towel. And who the fuck doesn’t want to go to the shore? There are people who don’t like the beach? How can you slag off going to the beach? What are you, a eunuch? You don’t even have to swim to love the beach.
As for the “Hang of With Guidos,” yeah, because there are no Italians outside of New Jersey. Trying looking around when you leave the state; they’re everywhere. And, for your information, everyone in New Jersey is Irish-Italian these days, on account of the Guidos and the Micks screwing so much because the only other options were blacks and Hispanics. It’s true. You know what I’m talking about, Hammonton.
FTW
The problem with NJ is that you people fly into Newark Airport. Which is surrounded by quite possibly the asshole of a biblically large organism. And to get anywhere you have to drive through the meadowlands, which is most definitely the asshole of a biblically large organism. You never get a chance to see the nice parts (although there are few.)
Lame.
Yes, it’s just a joke, but -call me crazy- jokes aren’t terribly funny when they’re not true. If all people know of “Joisey” (never heard anyone from here pronounce it that way) is bad hair, pollution and the Sopranos, corruption, and pollution, they’re missing a LOT. Here in Central NJ, there’s a lot of farmland, a lot of nurseries, farmers markets, and county fairs. They’re Princeton for culture. New Brunswick for amazing restaurants. Want to leave so bad without even taking the time to get to know the damn state? Good. Your loss.
duh. I wrote pollution twice. Lol. sorry about that.
and *There’s Princeton. Wow, on a roll, Renee.
I’m from Jersey. And I left…
good.

This is what you get in MY part of Jersey
NJ rocks, haters suck.
Mendham, Bernardsville or Basking Ridge? LOL
the problem with NJ is all the fucking new yorkers come down and move here. they’re the white trash, guidos, and morons that destroy the reputation. i’ve lived in central jersey my ENTIRE life and i’ve watched it get steadily worse as more people from brooklyn, the bronx, and staten island poison my hometown. jersey rocks, bennys go home.
I’m from NY originally. I’m neither white trash or a guido (err, guida?). I’d like to think that I’m not “worsening” the community any. I came here, met my soul mate, and we cook garden and do local art shows. Not so awful, right?
it’s not guida it’s guidette btw
oh, and where in Central? I’m in Somerset Co.
:-/ I moved here from New York, and I don’t think I’m destroying too much. Stealing your waitressing jobs, perhaps. I do get harassed for my New York license plates, though. . .

i love you.
Meet Aimee.
I live in Jersey and love. But even I find this funny.
I Used To Live In NJ And I Find This Quite Offensive.
learning grammar should be up there
Ugh. The guidos are the worst thing about this place (aside from the politics).
Aside from bad grammar, this is the most accurate graph ever.
Parts of South Jersey arn’t that bad…there are much worse places to live.
It’s worth mentioning that most of the other 49 states are no great shakes either. While I’m proudly living in New York City now, I grew up in Jersey, and being pinned in by Philly and New York is a lot better than, say, Idaho, where you’re pinned in by… well, nothing. Enjoy all that clean air, I hope it makes thinking of something to do in your boring-ass states easier!
NJ isn’t bad. Stay away from newark and Jesrsey sity, you’ll be okay then. Get out. Now. Central Jersey rocks. The only bad part is that the Jonas Brothers live(d) here. (The just won’t die). And the New Yorkers who moved to my neighborhood, it used to be nice, quiet and peaceful, now i have music at full blast waking me up at 6:00 A.M. Every morning. :/ Otherwise it’s all good. Good sites, bad sites. Etc. ETc.
I got to agree with this, I live in Pa and I always wanted to visit Jersey, ya know the whole Clerks. thing and all. I was there one day man got lost on the roads and agg it was just nasty. I am sure it has its ups other wise people wouldn’t live there though.
Having lived in New Jersey all my life, and hearing all the stereotypes about the inner cities and the supposedly large mafia presence, I can tell you that, yes, there are lousy parts of NJ. But aren’t there lousy parts of every state? People are moving to the south in droves, mostly because it’s 1) cheap and 2) the weather is better (although this is a matter of opinion). Yes, NJ is expensive to live in, but the standards of living are unrivaled. Unless you live in the cities mentioned ad nauseam, fewer places are better. You think you can get an excellent secondary education and/or a healthy lifestyle living in Texas or Florida? Dream on.
Saconded. Princeton, NJIT, Rutgers, etc. Lots of good colleges in New Jersey
I love how people defend NJ, then go bash and stereotype other states
Way to go
I live in New Jersey. I wasn’t born here, but most of my life has been spent here. I get sick and tired of all the NJ hating bs, but every state has it’s pros and cons so whatever
It seems that people tend to hate where they live, so is there a place for them to be happy?
“I love how people defend NJ, then go bash and stereotype other states”
Concur. If this were a graph about Kentucky, all these Jersey lovers would be piling on the ridicule.
actually, not really, because I really couldn’t care less about Kentucky.
no we wouldn’t because if you check the first comment it started with NJ bashing
so this is self-defense for our home state
You forgot go to the Quick Stop and RST Video.
Insert futurama joke here
Take your pick
finally somone understands!!! i live in New Jersey and all i ever want to do is leave i hate the people who live here, they are so stuckup and make suck a big freakin deal about the shore.
for everyone who doesnt live in jersey and thinks the shore is great… believe me the “perfect” shore most new jerseyans describe is just a giant polluted trashy litter box
The shore does suck, it’s all the waste from NY though. No effort is put into keeping it clean. I prefer the Florida beaches.
And I dont know where you live, but I love South Jersey, the majority of people ehre are amazing and friendly. You’re stuck up assholes are probably just in your area.
You all seem to be missing the point. Point is, people not from New Jersey that go there almost all want to leave. If you are still there you either don’t know any better, or are comfortable with your accommodations, kudos to you.
I’m not from there but I went around enough to know I wanted to leave as soon as possible so I did. Many will likely say wise decision. Good riddance, others will say. To them I say, congratulations on finding contentment in the armpit of America.
We’re not the armpit, we’re the sardine can.
True. Very true. But I’ve been to Philly and NYC and they’re WAY worst than us. So thank god for that.
I’m glad you left too.
Yeah well, NJ doesn’t like any of you either
Chances are nobody wants you in Jersey anyway. So if you’re there get the fuck out. Every state has good things, every state has bad things. Why does NJ get the most shit?
Chances are nobody wants you in Jersey anyway. So if you’re there, do what your graph says and LEAVE. Every state has good things, every state has bad things. Why does NJ get the most crap?
“To them I say, congratulations on finding contentment in the armpit of America.”
Armpit eh?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand stay out.
– NJ Resident
Hell yeah.
Did you know that Jersey is the wealthiest state in the nation? That’s right, we’re so fucking rich, if Jersey seceded from America, it would be the wealthiest country in the world. So, I’m going to go to my beautiful beach house at the legendarily awesome Jersey Shore, drink some nice wine, eat some fancy cheese while watching my huge TV and laugh at you landlocked rednecks who don’t have anything better to do that tip cows and talk conservative politicks.
Jersey what!
I have a gorgeous place in Southern California, surf everyday, and frequently enjoy “nice wine” and “fancy cheese”– and I most definitely hate New Jersey.
It’s not just rednecks.
Hey six flags in Jersey has the fastest and tallest roller coaster. ride that and GET THE F OUTA JERSEY!
oh, awesome. Another jab at New Jersey. ‘Cause Jersey’s definitely the worst state in the US. *epic eye roll*
…and I agree with Matthew B:
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand stay out.
– NJ Resident”
Love it or hate it, one thing about New Jersey is this: it’s people are fiercely proud of it. Plus, it’s the most densely populated state in the country, yet one of the smallest in area. It sure seems like millions of people like the place…
Being from New Jersey myself, I can say that I get so defensive about it because we do get the most crap for being “the armpit of America.” Sure we have some bad areas, mostly the suburbs of Philly and NYC… but if you head out to the more southern and coastal areas, you’ll see that it really is a beautiful place with lots of friendly people. Marlton and Tabernacle… Yay for the small towns with really great education. Sure we have a high cost of living, but that’s probably because its so densely populated. I think that those who have so much against New Jersey should come for a visit and REALLY take a look around instead of pointing fingers as they drive by on the turnpike.
BUT HOUSE LIVES IN NEW JERSEY
oh yeah!
now im proud again.
Hey! I live in NORTHERN NJ and it’s not at ALL bad. It’s that area where Anne Hathaway lived. Really nice, richy like place. Middle and South Jersey are pretty iffy. South is bad for Camden but is nice for the shore I guess. Plus, NYC is like 40 min. train ride from Jersey where I am.
i’m from central jersey and thanks and it’s actually north jersey that gives the rest of the state the bad reputation.
uhh no. There’s something weird about those people in the 609 area code. North Jersey is definitely the place to be.
Why?
CNJ has Manalapan, Jackson, Freehold, Monroe, Milstone.
All amazing places.
Douches made this graph. No stats were used. Only bias. Suck it bitches. Stop being jealous my dick is utilized more than yours.
i love when people make fun of jersey. it’s because they’re just jealous they’re not from jersey. and honestly, we don’t like you either. so stay they fuck out and stop invading the jersey shore in the summer. thanks.

this graph is hilarious.
I used to travel to Cherry Hill and Newark on business. Liked both places. Only thing I didn’t understand was the signs I saw on the way from Philly that said something like “No carrying extra cans of gas in your car”. I still don’t understand why.
Try spell check, moron.
New Jersey has long been an important area for both rock and rap music. Some prominent musicians from or with significant connections to New Jersey are:
Singer Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken. He sang with a neighborhood vocal group, the Hoboken Four, and appeared in neighborhood theater amateur shows before he became an entertainment legend as an Academy Award winning actor and one of the most famous male vocalists of all time.
Bruce Springsteen, who has sung of New Jersey life on most of his albums, hails from Freehold and is the most popular rock musician to ever come out of the state. Some of his songs that represent New Jersey life are “Born to Run,” “Spirit In The Night,” “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight),” “Thunder Road,” “Atlantic City,” and “Jungleland.”
Irvington’s Queen Latifah was the first female rapper to succeed in music, film, and television.

taken from wikipedia
Ice-t was born in Jersey, then moved to california.
You forgot the jonas brothers.
do they really count as MUSIC though? it’s more like mass-produced disneypop. i’m not sure that classifies as music. sure, they’re actually pretty talented, but disney has pretty much destroyed any chance they have of making it in the music industry later on and made it so the only “ass” they’re getting for the next several years is from 10 year old fangirls.
MCR FTW!!!!
This is obviously created by someone who has never been to New Jersey. If people wanted to leave so badly, why do we get an overhaul of tourist here? Unlike other backwards states, we actually have a lot to do here and if we wanted to take a break from the Dirty Jersey, we have the real city north of us (as long as you are carrying a grand on you, you can last half a day there). We also have very nice beaches here, you just need to find them, but unless you live on the shoreline like myself, you would never know that.
If you need a grand to spend half a day in NYC, then you’re doing something REALLY wrong. I can spend $10 and have a great day in the city.
Mind you, all I really need is a nice clear day to walk around and enough money to buy at least two Papaya Dogs. LOL
word dude lol
ever heard of long beach island? best place ever along with philly
long beach island really IS the best place ever.
Just a bunch of jealous people I suppose
Just kidding. I’m a NJ resident and there certainly are a number of very “special” people here. I could go into a very long-winded list of such things, but I won’t, although I definitely think an IQ test should be a required step in order to get a driver’s license.
Why would anyone not want to go to Great Adventure? Do you hate sweet amusement parks? I don’t get it.
Without New Jersey, you wouldnt have most of your tomatoes, cranberries, and bluberries.
eggplant as well. I don’t know why I know that.
Please, Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ah is the place for fruits
and nuts and really stupid people, I know, I was born here!
And yet NJ is the birthplace of the blueberry, tomato, and hosts THE BIGGEST cranberry bogs in America. They don’t call us the GARDEN STATE for nothing, stupid Californian, I know, I was born here!
Gee, “Go the the New Jersey shore” and “Hang of with Guidos.” Yeah, the creator of this graph if a complete idiot. Jersey is the greatest state in the country. The truth is most people who hate it so much have never been here and/or think the entire state is like one of those three cities. Everyone from here knows exactly what I mean.
- Jersey Represent.
Hey I’m from NJ and that is so not funny what if I make fun of the state you live in. WELL!?
This is so true. I was there last week, and all I wanted to do was get out as fast as possibly.
People here are missing the point. If you want to see a real armpit, go to Ohio. Everybody there thinks it’s the holy land, but it’s possibly the MOST BORING place on Earth. Its cities are total dumps that make Newark and Trenton look like Hollywood, and the rest of the state is full of hicks
You make an excellent point. LOL
Obviously you’ve never been to Hollywood. It’s a dump. Unless you like transvestite prostitutes.
crap on it
This is getting annoying. Can someone remove this?? T_T
New Jersey is much cooler than that…. from long experience.
1. It’s the beach, not the shore. Anyone who calls it the shore does not belong there.
2. It’s Great Adventure, not Six Flags. See above.
3. Don’t like it? Don’t go there. We don’t need you.
I’ve never been to another six flags. I call it six flags. I also worked there for 3 years.
Shore is a synonym of beach. I’ll call it whatever the fuck I want.
I love NJ. Don’t tell me what to call my shit you pretentious bastard.
if you’re gonna rag on NJ in a graph, you could at least check your spelling and grammar first.
i love jersey…haha.
I’ve lived in five states, and have travelled to almost 40 of the others. I’ve lived in Jersey for the past five years. It has many great natural and man-made resources: beaches, mountains, countryside, and major cities all very close by. It still sucks. It’s not the place. It is the inhabitants. I’ve never met a “community” that so hate each other, and are so rude to each other. Stereotypical Parisians are less snobbish, and Manhattanites are much more polite and friendly. And yes, I’m going to get out of here as soon as I can, so Jerseyans, save me your “you should leave” comments. I’m trying.
i agree with dude. the state itself is a great place but the people in it just suck. so stop saying nj is bad, its not the states fault!
Who cares if it’s bad or not, the graph is funny…..you’re all retarded for bitching about it, I mean oh my god, get a life…
but they have good roller coasters there…
Hey! The shore is nice! I LOVE going to the Point Plesant boardwalk =D.
good. leave. we don’t want you here anyway. bennys like you suck.
