Who needs the other 49 states.

Wow...

The last time I was walking down the street with a beer in NYC I got a summons..

I wouldn't push it walking down the street smoking a joint either..

The NYPD is a lot cooler than most police departments, but I figure I got nothing coming if I disrespect them by smoking a joint right in front of them.

I ain't trying to go to Rikers Island and get gang raped..

But yeah, NYC is great..

So are other places too...

Ya im sorry but its been done about 5 times. One ive never been caught because there are just too many people walking the same street as you and b i was very carefull.

Im in NY, this state fucking rocks! I have everything here i need. I got anything and everything 24/7 even on christmas. I can get chinese food, pizza, greek, indian and god knows what else all at 5 star quality delivered all within 20 min. I got over 9 million people that are my neighbors withing 5 bourough's. When someone says "FUCK YOU" they mean have a good day. The cops are great. I can walk down the street with a beer in my hand and a joint in the other and a cop would just say put out the joint and throw out the beer because they do not even want to waste their time arresting you (ive done it few years ago). Anyway i completly forgot their was 49 other states....

You can have it.....I've been to New York twice and I was glad I got to get out of there rather quickly. I've never met more rude people in all my life.....someone saying "fuck you" is ANYTHING but a warm wish.

The reason why the cop doesn't bother arresting you is because they're soooooooo overloaded with work with all the crime going on around there...NOT because they're "cool."

Being proud of where you live and the assets of your state is fine, but claiming to forget about the other 49 states is pompousness in all its glory. I'm not impressed.

This is the funniest thread ever.
New York's economy would crumble in about a week
without the other 49 states. MY man you have the worst
case of myopia I have ever seen.

And as much as I love New York, I love the other
50 as well. There are few things that you cannot
find in a lot of other places as in New York, and in
New York City. Open your eyes. Have you ever
been across the state line?

Bet you that he has never been out side of the city....change can be scary to some

Nitish, I must disagree with you about the rest of New York State. As a lifelong UPSTATE New Yorker, let me give you a quick and dirty geography lesson.....

• New York State is indeed blessed to have the nation's largest city in population. New York's 5 Boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester and Rockland Counties are impressive. They literally have it all right there. New York is one of the world's great cities and is attached to a most spectacular state.
• New York has many large upstate cities too. Contrary to the popular belief that New York ends at the Rockland County border, there is indeed lots of quality civilization found in the upstate cities of Albany (our capital), Schenectady (one of the most preserved pre-Revolutionary cities), Syracuse (home to the NY State Fair and one of the nation's best universities), Rochester (the city of lilacs, World's Image Centre, and home to such corporate names as Kodak, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb, Paychex, PaeTec, and Harris RF Corp.), and Buffalo (home to two state universities, and the gateway to Canada).
• All New York's major cities are linked together by an Interstate highway system that also includes one of the nation's first superhighways, The Governor Thomas E. Dewey New York State Thruway. The Historical Erie Canal still exists as part of the larger New York State Barge Canal System.
• The St. Lawrence Seaway is the vital link that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes. Because of it, Rochester is a port city.
• We have true international airports located in Albany, Plattsburgh, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, as well as those in the New York City area.
• We are fortunate to have the Appalachian Mountains run through Eastern New York. The Adirondack and Catskill Mountains host thousands of vacationing visitors from all over the world each year. In the summer there are outdoor sports, and family theme park attractions such as the several located in the Lake George area, and the famous Santa's Workshop on Whiteface Mountian (also known as North Pole, NY). In winter, skiing and snowmobiling is the thing. Lake Placid, in the Adirondacks, has hosted two Winter Olympiads, and still serves as a training facility for Olympic athletes. Saratoga Springs is a center for horseracing.
• The Thousand Islands are another vacation paradise, located in Central Western New York, along the Canadian border. Visitors have easy access to both sides of the border. Alexandria Bay on this side, and Kingston, on the Ontario side, are popular destinations.
• The Finger Lakes of Central New York are home to New York's wine industry. The rolling hills surrounding the lakes are perfect for growing grapes. granted, New York wines are not as well known as those from California, but those who seek them out will be in for a pleasant surprise. With over 100 wineries, there are tours galore, and plenty of variety.
• Niagara Falls, in Western New York, is one of the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. The falls attract thousands of visitors from all over the world. They are also a major producer of environmentally friendly hydroelectric power, which both Western New York, and our wonderful neighbours in the province of Ontario enjoy.
• If all that is not enough for you, then I submit the high quality of life available here. New York State is blessed with not one, but two Great Lakes...Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. They are two of the largest fresh water lakes around. We don't have to worry where our next glass of drinking water is coming from. Our lawns are always green, and our foliage is beautiful. The fault that we sit on is so inactive, that it hasn't erupted since 1985. The color show with the changing leaves each autumn is nothing short of spectacular. Yes, we have snow, and plenty of it, but it brings with it, a whole new set of possibilities for entertainment, and enjoyment. I like having four distinct seasons.

I won't say anything against California because I have been there and loved it too. But I will defend my home state to the end.......

I have also heard that New York has some beautiful countryside as well. I have not seen it though. I would not mind if NY and CA became one country. ahhhh...no more red state problems. We could become the most progressive country in the World.

New Yorkers are rude on purpose - it makes the lame people go home, and opens up a bit more space.
