Well I Never Knew Where New York Was.

[Cormac135]

Call me stupid, i just never had any reason to look at a map of America til during the election, even then i wasn't paying enough attention to notice, it wasn't til i was watching a quiz show and one of the questions was which US state is part of Niagara Falls in, now i knew it was in Ontario Canada, but i always thought New York was a bit west of Florida, well you live and learn.

Well you think Ohio has alligators so I'm not surprised.

Well there is a bit of water above you, i do envy you those Amish boys though.

It's not all you think it would be. They only bathe once a week.

Wouldn't "a bit west of Florida" put you somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico?

And that's a bad thing ?

 

[Alistair]

Or Alabama.

 

[unloadonme]

Or Alabama.

Which is worse?

 

[Alistair]

Which is worse?

Anything is preferable to Florida

 

[LeicsDom]

Anything is preferable to Florida

Until recently I assumed Florida was a lovely, sunny, liberal state with theme parks and gay communities
Then I found out how stupidly Trump supporting it is

How about New York in west Florida - not west OF Florida

The really bad thing, I bet at least 10% of Americans can't point out New York on a map.

 

[NotHardUp1]

Of course, New Yorkers think it's in the center.

I bet 10% of Americans can't point out America on a map.

 

[spooger]

I bet 10% of Americans can't point out America on a map.

I bet 90% of Americans don't care where UK is on a map

 

[Charon]

I bet 100% of people don't give two fucks where a country or continent they don't live in is on a map.

 

[NotHardUp1]

Actually, all you have to do is close your eyes in most of Florida and listen, and you'll be in New York soon enough. If you don't hear Brooklynish or Yiddish, it will only be because you're not listening.

There are more Floridians walking around talking like Bugs Bunny, than any other place in the lower 48 outside New York.

Well, someone is watching all that tabloid TV about the British royals, so likely more than 10%.

:sigh:

there is a HUGE difference between SOUTH Florida and Florida - SOUTH Florida is THEE most liberal place on the planet - Key West - Miami - Fort Lauderdale - West Palm Beach - which represents nearly HALF of the voting power of the state of Florida - throw in liberal hot spots like Tampa - Orlando - Sarasota - and it is THEE closest swing state in the union - some elections are literally decided here by 4 digits... yes - half the state is literally Alabama - but don't be fooled by media that constantly wants to dumbdown Florida - half of the state rivals ANY place in the country including New York - Los Angeles - etc...
