Why isn't your post in spanish?

>>4580374
It isn't in Spanish due to the reason that is I am actually white. I know its hard to believe, but believe it.

I live in Ft. Lauderdale

fucking hell this state shitsux

the people here are as stupid as fuck and it's full of dumb guidos and cubans who seem to be entitled to everything yet can't even speak english. seriously, everyone here is so full of themselves even though they probably live in some project area.

there's absolutely no intellectual stimulation here. and the women are all fake tanned clubsluts. I moving the fuck out as soon as I can.

Going to Florida for university; this depresses me. I hear it's hot as fuck (no problem, I live in a very hot climate) and there's tons of mosquitos.

>>4580409
which uni?

I can depress you even more

get over it, pussy

>>4580408
I live in Orlando, and I want to get out. UCF is cheap, and effective.

>>4580409


daytona beacher here. ERAU engineerfag.

I liek the thunderstorms :O

except they be no bitchez in my skewl

Oh great, I'm vacationing there in a few days.

What part of Florida do you live in? I live in Broward and it's alright. Far enough away from Ft. Lauderdale so tourists aren't a problem, but close enough so that rednecks aren't. Far enough away from Miami such that Cubans aren't a problem, but close enough so that the coastal current makes the weather pretty nice. OK, so the rainy season does get pretty bad. Better get some industrial-strength surge protectors for everything you own or be prepared for them to blow out. Traffic is horrible, but highways are well-maintained. Terrain is flat as a pancake, but the Everglades and beach are nice. Some history, not too much. I live near some of the best public schools in the state, so I never suffered from living in the state ranked 50th (or was it 49th?) in education. And the Bright Futures program made my college education free, the colleges themselves so-so depending on program. All-in-all a real watered-down, humid place.

>Except to see RHPS at IOA.

RHPS is at CityWalk, mate.

What about:

1. Awesome tiny lizards everywhere.

-and-

2. The space shuttle taking off and landing can be seen/heard all over central Florida.

>>4580455
I categorize Universal in the don't give a fuck about option. I only go so I can get free condoms.

Gainesville is awesome but I hate it.

>>4580431
My friend goes to Embry-Riddle. I don't find engineering awesome, at all.

>>4580473
How old are you? AIM? UFag here.

fucking retards couldn't figure out how to use voting machines, opening the door for Bush to steal the election, Florida can get hit with Katrina-sized hurricanes every year for the next century just for that

>>4580464
1. The tiny lizards are nice, but the disease-crapping, as-big-as-a-dog Iguanas are annoying as fuck. They overrun the awesome Basilisks that I like so much. The ones that run on their hind legs and are called "Jesus lizards" 'cause they can run on water.

2. Even way down south, even here you can see it and it's a sight. A month or so ago, it took off right at sunset and you could see the stream marking the flight trajectory reflecting the setting sun's rays. It was awesome because in the patterns of the jet, you could make out the layers of the atmosphere, the bottom layer giving off an orange glow, the upper layers giving off a different bend to the path because of the differentiation in atmosphere density and wind speeds.

>>4580471

You sad, sad soul. You pay $10 for a ticket and only go for free condoms.

I'm 20, I do mechanical and aerospace engineering. I'm not sure posting my aim on 4chan is a great idea though. How about you though?

>>4580510
I don't pay for my ticket.

Can we all go to Universal? The reason is that I've got an annual pass to Universal and I want to go there a lot more but all my friends are cheap assholes. pls pls pls?

I moved back to my country cause I couldnt stand florida, I tought I was gonna die a virgin there then got layed a month after I came back

fuck florida

>>4580531
I'm 18 and haven't actually entered college yet. Lived in Gainesville my entire life though. You sound far too nerdy for me to hit on though.

>>4580561
Ew, I just used "though" twice in two consecutive sentences. Sorry about that.

>>4580561

wat u r a chick

The fishing kicks ass! The beaches are beautiful. The winters are mild and lovely. The flora is unbeatable. You can eat cheeseburgers in paradise.

I lost power for over a month after that string of hurricanes, though, and then Katrina hit and Florida got royally fucked up the ass and got no help for any of the trouble we were experiencing. That made me rage.

>>4580576
No, a dude. I just don't dig nerdy neckbeards unless we got something we can be broskis over.

Jesus fuck the water tastes bad. It ruined my Sprite and everything else. It also smells bad.

At least I got to see my friend's tits because her bikini was too small and that led to other things. Too bad she also has herpes now.

>>4580582

Oh jesus always with the stereotypes.

>>4580582
>>4580582

fuck neckbeards. Come over to failtona beach, I DJ at some clubs here.

OP is 100% fucking correct.
Take it from someone who has lived in Tampa for 12 years: Florida is a shit hole, and there are much worse places in Florida than Tampa. Sure, it's okay to visit once in a while, but it fucking sucks to live here.

1. It's extremely hot, all of the fucking time. In the middle of winter, you can expect a cool 70 degrees, and in summer, a nice, humid 97 degrees.
2. The people in the rural areas are hicks. Yes, Florida is far more liberal than any other southern state, and it is not a part of the deep south, but believe me, the rural regions have hicks that are just as bad as anywhere else in the south. And even the more urban areas are still very conservative.
3. Clearwater is the headquarters for Scientology. We have all the nicest cults.
4. Old people retire here. It's not an exaggeration. Part of the reason the state is so conservative is the retirees who think Florida is a paradise.
5. The tourists are annoying. Sure, it's nice to meet people from around the country and world, but a lot of them are annoying fat fucks.
6. The public education system is shit. Utter shit. 49th in the nation. And because old people want all of the state money for themselves but they're all conservative, tax cuts are regarded as the solution to all woes, and because tax cuts means less state money, education is always the first to get cut. Seriously, the people don't give two shits about education. When I was in high school, we had to donate paper and supplies to the school in order to simply participate in the class, and the situation has gotten much worse. Also, I was in the IB program, so my education and funding was much muuuuch better than regular students' educations. Too bad our school was shit and shared with hyper underachieving ghetto students (the school is simultaneously a Newsweek top ranked school sending the most people in our county to Ivy League schools, and a D-ranked school.)

I live in a city called Rockledge in Brevard county. It's a few miles north of Melbourne. The city is fairly populated and bustling but I don't really deal with a lot of big city shit. The weather doesn't really bother me that much, I mean yeah the summers are hot but hey at least winter is pretty nice.

Also, there is more to do around here than just expensive theme parks, there is plenty of outdoors stuff you can do here, hiking, fishing, surfing etc. But of course you guys only mention the stuff that all the tourists come here for. Speaking of which we are pretty far away from all that stuff that we really don't have to deal with any.

I don't really have any gripes about my location, maybe it's because I'm don't have to live in big places like Orlando, I dunno.

Mmmmmm yeah, mosquitos. And chiggers. Sweeeet.

Browardfag here and I agree with everything OP says.

Also fuck yes lizards. Lizards and annoying brown/black birds everywhere.

>>4580609

7. The Universities are pretty crappy too. UF isn't too bad, and is pretty cheap, but there are no truly overall outstanding colleges, and most other Florida colleges are generally shit except in one or two specific fields (such as Nursing for USF.)
8. Two words: Katherine. Harris. i.e. The Bitch who got Bush elected in 2000. Seriously. And I do mean bitch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Harris#Controversy_over_religion

There is much much more to be said about Florida, but those are major faults. Now, there are plenty of fun things to do while on vacation here. It's just the whole living here part that sucks.

okay, I'm going to suggest this one more time

Lets all make a robot trip to Universal Studios, suggested because I have a season pass and can get the rest of you cheaper tickets/discounts on food/free parking/etc.

If you find that you don't like the company, take a smoking/bathroom break and disappear. Nobody would know, you're still somewhat anonymous.

Come on lets go to something fun. We can also go to Rocky Horror but if you come dressed up we're sitting far away from you.

>>4580642

Fuck that I can't bear the sunlight.

>>4580591
AIM: ninjajeesus

throwaway account. Hit me up.

>>4580634

USF = Nursing. Hah. OK, yeah. It's a research oriented university with Moffitt and other research institutions near the grounds just taking in those nursing students.

I've lived in Tampa all of my life. Tampa has its problems, as well as Florida, but it isn't entirely bad. I will tell you that if you're looking to live in Florida, and aren't a man of the book as they say, don't bother going anywhere north of Tampa. North Floridians are swine; this is even recorded in our history when there was such a group of powerful politicians from Northern Florida called -- and I am not lying -- the "Pork Chop Gang". Pasco County and above and you're dealing with the elderly, the deranged, the morally deficient moralists... etc... They're all a mess. They live in little backwater towns where the food sucks, the people suck, and the culture is lacking.

Alright, so I'll give this anon a fair assessment of his/her assessment in the next post...

>>4580642

That does seem like a highly entertaining idea, really.

>>4580673

lol imagine the lulz if they all went there, took one look at each other, and said "fuck this"

or if they all went there, didn't recognize each other, and spent the day roaming around

Coming from someone who has lived in miami-dade county his entire life I can say; don't ever ever move here

>>4580671
I meant that nursing there is halfway decent compared to all of the other majors.
Ooh, an assessment. I eagerly await. At least until I'm ripped a new asshole.

>>4580707

i went to a strip club in miami

it sucked

>>4580609

>6. The public education system is shit

Dear God, it's like you went to the same school I did. Except the IB program at my school was as shit as the rest of the school.

Seriously though, this state is my equivalent of hell. The weather does not change. Summer? Hot as balls. Winter? Hot as balls. Christmas? Fire up the grill because surprise, it's still hot. The state also consists of two types of people:
- Old people, who DRIVE THE WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE-WAY STREET WHAT THE FUCK.
- The trashiest of every ethnicity.

Also, palmetto bugs. Huge ass flying cockroaches. They will get into your house no matter how clean/dirty it is. Fuck them.

>>1. It's extremely hot, all of the fucking time. In the middle of winter, you can expect a cool 70 degrees, and in summer, a nice, humid 97 degrees.

I enjoy our humid air and temperatures. When I go out to other places in the United States the first thing I notice is the dry air and how it feels to breathe without the moisture in the air. I've come to almost require the humid air. Humid air is arguably for my own account, the best air to breathe.

>>2. The people in the rural areas are hicks. Yes, Florida is far more liberal than any other southern state, and it is not a part of the deep south, but believe me, the rural regions have hicks that are just as bad as anywhere else in the south. And even the more urban areas are still very conservative.

Yes, you'll find people who will unironically chant to you "THIS IS ARE COUNTRY", that is of course if they even have any interests beyond beer, football and fellow trailer women.

>>3. Clearwater is the headquarters for Scientology. We have all the nicest cults.

Yes, and I don't like Clearwater. I go to Treasure Island in St. Pete when I go to the beach. When I go to Ybor -- which isn't common -- I try my best to avoid them.

>>4580609
Sounds like you went to my high school in Gainesville.

>>4. Old people retire here. It's not an exaggeration. Part of the reason the state is so conservative is the retirees who think Florida is a paradise.

Mix them with "DEM ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS" and you've got a state full of nest shitting dementia "BACK EN MEH DEYS". There are also middle aged ranky faggots who were huffing gasoline when Nixon was in office.

>>5. The tourists are annoying. Sure, it's nice to meet people from around the country and world, but a lot of them are annoying fat fucks.

Florida has a lot of fat people as well. I can't tell tourists from locals most of the time and I'm a native of Tampa. They're usually well mannered, and, well, like I said, I hardly notice... A lot of people aren't originally from around here so 2-3 year residents versus 2 week tourists and from just general encounters, I couldn't tell you the difference.

THE PANHANDLE HAS SNAKES

>>6. The public education system is shit.

Did you go to King's IB program? I didn't apply. I didn't bother. I simply continued my education through the regular curriculum, albeit with all of my classes as honors so that I can experience what it is like to have an adequate education relative to the rest of the country. Yes, he/she is entirely right.

i've lived in florida for 20 of my 23 years of life

and i wear jeans every day

it is not even that hot you guys

I used to live in Orlando and it was nothing special.

First off I hate hot weather, and I prefer distinct seasons instead of it being fucking hot all year round except for a few days where it's 50 degrees but it fucking feels like it's freezing because you're used to it being 30-50 degrees warmer.

Then there's the tourists on the highway who don't know where the fuck they're going. And fuck yeah why are so many of them British? Why do they want to come all the way over here for a vacation? Isn't there interesting shit on their side of the planet? I don't know. If I were British I'd be like fuck that I don't want to sit on a plane that long, let's go to France or something.

I've been to Universal, Sea World, and Busch Gardens. If you have an amusement park that's closer than FL go there, because it's the exact same shit. Some roller coasters and attractions, overpriced everything. You can just go ahead and spend $5 on a lidless, straw-less cup of coke at your nearby Six Flags or something. There used to be a Sea World here in Ohio and it wasn't really any better/worse than the one in Orlando. Now we only have Cedar Point but who gives a fuck? I hate amusement parks, it's all wandering in the hot afternoon sun and standing in line for a 30s roller coaster.

Also why the fuck are their like wild turkey and giant birds on streets and parking lots? I was going to my car and saw a bird damn near as tall as I was, WTF? Where I'm from, crazy fuck animals stay in the forests.

I've been living outside the Orlando area for 18 of my 21 years of life. Florida is such a swampy, touristy, bum-fucking infested shit hole, if I were ever to come to power my first order of business would be to nuke the soggy, swampy dick of the continental united states till it's a eunuch.

Disney sucks and it cannibalizes everything around here. Weather sucks; muggy and 95 degrees year round. Sure people will say, oh you live near a beach, etc. The beaches of Florida fucking suck I tell you. They are all dirty and full of rednecks. It's also impossible to find a job around where I live. Overpopulated University gobbles all the job prospects up within a 100 fucking mile radius and the economy is in the shitter down here.

Goddamnit, I'm going to apply to an out of state grad school... Fuck this shit heap.

>>4580768
It was probably a Sandhill Crane. One of the only things I actually like about this state funnily enough.

>>4580728
>Also, palmetto bugs
Oh yeah, fuck those ugly things. I was used to cockroaches being a sign of an unkempt house and need of an exterminator, not just being common household pests that come and go.

>>4580747
Yep, King. Not a fun experience at considering the environment, but at least I sort of learned something. But needless to say, if I ever have children of my own, I will never subject them to the horrors of American public schools.

Oh, I completely failed to mention the inanity of the FCAT. Yes, it's piss easy, but whenever a school doesn't perform well, FUNDING FROM THE STATE IS FUCKING REDUCED. Yes, that'll solve the problem. What's that? Your school is underperforming? Well then, I'm sure a budget cut will set you straight.

Oh, and since no school wants their funding cut, schools literally dedicate half the school year to indoctrinating students with useless FCAT practice, and normal schooling is neglected. People become dumber because schools focus on bullshit FCAT problems, and not actual fucking school work. And the FCAT contains below average material.

Also, as with many schools in the nation where IB and traditional share a school, there is a huge pissing contest between the two programs (this doesn't have to do with Florida education itself.) Hell, the traditional administration forced Seniors, who do not take the FCAT, to cut valuable time preparing for IB exams to do FCAT practice that did not apply to them.

>>4580815

Hello, I am going to live in your bathroom and grow until I am large enough to saddle up and ride to the beach.

Yeah Florida does blow chunks, but I really don't know what place doesn't suck.

>>4580829
Goddamn right. I live next to a lake, it's a pain in the ass trying to get those motherfuckers out of the garage, except when there are frogs in the garage, then it's a pain and the ass to get the frogs out...

Unless you have a fucking Snake.

>>4580818

It's not an issue of education, it's all politics. Would local governments have a greater incentive to create covenants/suburbs (I live in New Tampa) and continue to fund their schools -- ergo creating the incentive to continue growth and development of high income areas than fund some school whose parents are on the welfare rolls? You sure bet it does. It's just using the No Child Left Behind Act to extend urban sprawl so that Tampa can bring in more tech/commercial business IMO.

I had a few friends who went to king, others who went to Tampa Prep. Let me just say this -- if I had had the luxury of a private education in my youth, I would have been a much different person today. My friends are great examples of this with their educations. This is all not to say that my own education was insufficient for my well-being, just that they were drawn to education at an earlier age than myself as I stuck with the public education system.

I went to Wharton by the way.

>>4580444
>>4580618

Where in Broward?

I lived in Orlando, Florida for one year, and went to Olympia High School. Shit fucking sucked.

I've lived in Florida my entire life (19 years). Born in Tampa, moved to Daytona Beach, going to school in Orlando.

Pros
- Beach
- Lots of sun = temperate climate

Cons
- No visible season changes
- Very little in the way of culture
- What "culture" exists is NASCAR and Bike Week
- Increasingly underfunded schools

PROTIP: For ANY of you who still think Daytona Beach is a desirable as a tourist location, you have obviously not seen Daytona this decade. It's a shithole. Go waste your money in Sarasota or Cocoa Beach.

>>4580874
I have a lot of friends that live in New Tampa, especially Hunters Green. They all complain about strict homeowner's association rules and cramped yards.

Personally, I have no idea why so many people live in suburbs. They're cramped, monotonous, and neighbors are extremely nosy and bothersome.

Lol, from tampa going to school in tallahassee (fsu),

Having lived in many places arounf the world growing up (military family), I have to say florida is best. Temperature is hot but bearable (played paintball all day today),

and it's pretty safe save for a few sketch streets in each city/town. People are pretty nice, and in tampa there is literally an endless supply of things to do.

If you have to rely on a good school to get ahead, you're not exceptional enough, so I end up meeting very unique interesting people at uni's here.

>>4580936

lol, you must be a freedom/lutzfag. Don't hate on us new tampa folk because you can't afford suburbia.

I'm mid-way between Orlando and Daytona in a shitty little town filled with golfing communities.

It's hot and humid as fuck, and there are way too many old people. Also, fucking palmetto bugs are the worst.

Moved here from Illinois almost 10 years ago when I was 10 or 11, because my parents didn't like cold weather. Both of my sisters have moved back up North, and I plan to eventually. Hate this place.

>>4580912

I'm also a Tampa native, and while we as a whole seem to lack culture, there is a culture that has developed in our state that in some ways continues -- albeit as a corpse. I'm talking about places like Ybor, Old Tampa... UT, etc. They're not lively or even active, but they provide a backdrop that can allow for the development of some sort of shared local culture.

Most people in our state weren't born here and aren't from established families.

>>4580829

Flying cockroaches that big somehow bypass my pesticides in my house. The worst part is killing them from the ceiling when they fly towards you.

Orlandofag.

>>4580959
Nope. Speaking as someone who lives in a likewise densely packed suburb with annoying neighbors, but without a homeowners association that prevents me from parking my own fucking car in my own fucking driveway. Suburbs suck either way.

>>4580936

>>Hunters Green.

Yeah, I live in Tampa Palms and I remember as a kid I couldn't have a "treehouse" because it was against the deed restriction and all. Maybe I was stupid then, but I remember as a kid being told that I couldn't build one simply because of that. With these recent watering restrictions, no one can really maintain their yard and it's in your interest to have some nice shade on your property so that you won't have to replace sod every year.

I moved to New Tampa in 1989, back when Bruce B. Downs was a two lane road. Hard to imagine, but we only had one Publix and that was it for groceries. Within my life (I'm 22), I've seen New Tampa become the most unsustainable, crowded and corpulent place. This new "mall" or whatever up near County Line Road is a good example of the unsustainability of Tampa's growth.

>>4580893

Pembroke Pines.

>>4580943
>If you have to rely on a good school to get ahead, you're not exceptional enough, so I end up meeting very unique interesting people at uni's here.

I'm pretty sure most people who go to out of state universities do so because other universities offer them stronger programs than those in Florida colleges. Not saying there's anything wrong with staying in Florida, but you certainly can't argue that those who go elsewhere are somehow not exceptional enough, especially when they go to top universities in the country.

>>4580963
lolol Debary.

Universal is a shitty ass park. Every one of the rides is some shitty simulation that's only good for getting out of the Florida heat. I really wanted to go to Islands of Adventure, but noooo.

I live between Daytona Beach and Orlando.

+ The Springs/parks. Blue Springs, Ocala National Forest, Wekiva Springs. They all are really beautiful.
+ Acceptable local music scenes in Orlando and Tampa, good venues.

- Driving 30 to 60 minutes to do anything worthwhile. I live in an unincorporated area in the Orlando metro area and while we do have 2 Walmarts within twenty minutes, that is about it.
- FCAT. There are enough comments about about that one.
- The miserable heat and humidity. It makes me not want to leave the house.
- Suburbs, planned communities, old people.

Overall, it's completely homogeneous and uncultured.

>>4581071
Yerp. Shitsux.

>>4581142
That's pretty much it. I work at Blue Springs, and it is beautiful. The Backbooth, The Social, and Club Firestone are all decent venues for music, but half of the tours don't come here because Florida is a peninsula, which means they have to drive their busses all the way down, then all the way back up, which isn't very efficient.

Daytona and The Space Coast used to be such a nice place, but it's been trash ever since MTV began hosting the "spring break" event there.

Miami and Tampa are the only bearable cities in Florida. Orlando is full of trash, tourism and garbage. Orlando itself is rife with crime and is surrounded by rednecks.

If any of you are in Citrus County... LOL... My grandparents being the old people they are decided to move out of Tampa and go up there. When I went to Citrus County, I wore just an average button-up shirt, washed my face and had well groomed hair. I went to lunch with them, and when all of the church-goers came in and ate at their tables, they would stop and stare. When we walked out, they all stopped eating and began to stare at us walking out. They're all moralist bastards who have no morals.

I will qualify my extreme dislike for Tampa and Florida with a few concessions:

While Tampa is pretty boring, the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center is pretty near. I saw Faust there a couple of months ago, and it was a very pleasant experience. Also, I don't party or club, so I'm entirely ignorant about the night life and party scene in Tampa.

Beyond that, everything else said about Florida and Tampa in this thread is a fact.

Also, I am aware that people frequently dislike the region where they grew up and seek a different environment, but the faults of Florida are far beyond simple adolescent disdain. I used to live in Georgia, and while I also disliked it very much, particularly because it was either hick territory or black thug territory, depending on your location, I still liked the hilly terrain, seasons, nice looking trees, and a lot of the history in the nicer parts. Florida really is uncultured and plain.

Ideally though, I'd love to live somewhere with mountains and very few neighbors. I like Western Montana and other such regions quite a bit. However, I'm aware that if I was born there and lived there my whole life, I'd probably want to reside elsewhere for a change.

I live in Queensland Australia, it's a wannabe Florida. Hot weather, tourists, palm trees, theme parks, beaches, cyclones, crocs, mosquitos, old people and all that shit. It's even known as "the sunshine state".

Floridafag here. I didn't know they showed RHPS at Universal. I'll have to check that out sometime; I saw it as a play in St. Augustine last week. Shit was cash.

>>4580768
> Also why the fuck are their like wild turkey and giant birds on streets and parking lots? I was going to my car and saw a bird damn near as tall as I was, WTF? Where I'm from, crazy fuck animals stay in the forests.

My neighborhood has fucking peacocks.

I actually like all of the cool birds and lizards that are around homes in Florida. It's actually quite nice. Shame everything else is shitty.

I live in Florida, because I was born here and I get to go to school here for free. It's fucking hot and full of rednecks but I've never really lived anywhere else and I don't care about getting out too much.

I just wish there was actual seasonal variation and fewer bugs. When I lived with my parents I'd find spiders in the house that were larger than my palm.

Pic related: When I was a kid I was running through our backyard and almost ran into one of these things with my face.

Pinellasfag from the time I was three. This places is terrible. Can't wait to leave and never look back.

was born in queens ny and moved down to tampa when i was 3.
im 24 now
still here in tampa.
to me it fucking sucks because there isnt much to do here.
its pretty barebones aside from channelside and ybor.
i want to go back to ny.
anyone here from citrus park?

>>4581441
Whoops, forgot my pic. Way to go.

I visited there for a bit.

Its humid enough to cut the air and get aerogel.

Tallahasseefag, here. Dear lord is it hot.

Also, I'm from Gainesville. Sucks bawls, don't it?

G'ville/Tallyfags hit me up on aim: unfairyboy

>>4581441
Dear lord, that is the best fucking reason to be in Florida.

FREE FUCKING COLLEGE! YEAH! t(>.<t)

Haven't paid a dime for FSU tuition.

Florida rocks, faggots. On state-rivalry level, goddamn we have one of the best law systems in the country (I'm sure you will all flame me for it but fuck there isn't near as much retarded shit as other states. Fuck you, Arkansas.) No matter where you are in Florida, you can drive to the beach with ease and we actually have nice practical beaches to look at, unlike dirty as New England or the cliffs of the West Coast. Tourists aren't even that bad if you don't live in a city that isn't total shit anyway (here's looking at you, Orlando), My only complaint ever will be the humidity, and the scrubby ass people/landscape in mid-Florida. Florida is fucking awesome and you know it. We don't even pay a fucking income tax. Goddamn.

Tallahasseefag here, why the hell are we all up at this hour anyway?

>>4582261
Yeah, but our gas is expensive as fucking shit. Go to Georgia and you'll see what I mean.

>>4582261
Education? Sucks.
Climate? Sucks.
People? Meh.
Beaches? Most suck.
Old people? Suck.

>>4582214
Yeah, especially considering all you have to do to get the scholarship is work some community service hours and not be a total fucking moron.

I go to UCF, but, you know. Same shit, different place.

>>4580912
You get charged to enter the beach during the summer, so no thanks, you can keep your shitty beach.

LOL

u mad because you live in a landlocked state

ITT: People who get to live in paradise complain about it.

at the beaches you don't have to worry about sharks as much as black people in the water they not only leave streams of afro sheen behind them they can come on land and mug you on your way to your car.

>>4585217
Florida is humid and disgusting. If you have respiratory problems, it's the worst place in the world. Deserts, now, THERE are your paradise climates.

How is the State University of Florida (UF)?

I'm going there.

I lived in Florida for 7 years...then I moved to Minnesota... I fucking hated Florida. It's full of hipster assholes who expect mommy and daddy to pay for their shit for them like they did when they were in high school, and they can't take any responsibility.

And that's just the 10% that are young enough to be able to do that.

The rest of the fucking state is full of geriatric pricks who expect the world to turn for them and only them, and live up to every stereotype of an older driver when on the road. I mean, FUCK!! 20 under the speed limit is on the excessive side of safety, grandma!

There's nothing to do except go visit your dying great grandparents in their abusive nursing home, and every person that owns a business there is going to try to ass rape you for every penny you own.

Oh. And the weather is shit. It's always humid. You sweat just by THINKING about going outside.

</rage>

OP lives in a landlocked state, is very jealous of paradise

Went to Universal a few years back. Weather was perfect, blue sky and sun blazing away. All the girls were in thin tops or skimpy tees. Then in the space of 10 minutes it clouded over and started pouring with rain. The whole place turned into one big miss wet t-shirt contest. I'd forgive Florida anything for that moment.

I must agree, but I recommend against living in a cactus. Adobes seem to be the preferred type of residence.

Born and lived in Florida for most of my life. Live in Colorado right now, and I'm moving to Seattle at my next available opportunity. 'Nuff said.

Born and raised in Miami. There are two kinds of Florida that alot of people are ignorant about. There is South Florida, Miami-Dade and Broward County, which is very liberal and progressive. And then there is the rest of Florida filled with rednecks and fundementalist christians. The more north you go in Florida the more Southern it gets.

Alot of transplants and tourists don't really experience the true Miami and/or Florida.

Your pros sound fuckwin, I absolutely love darker women, latinas in particular. I live in a very humid and hot climate and it rains half the year where I am now anyway, so Florida won't be much of a difference. Also I speak Spanish (3rd language!) so it's no problem for me.

I think I'll like Florida.

I don't know if I'd necessarily qualify being able to understand the Cubans as a good thing.

ITT: Ungrateful bastards who don't realize how fucking awesome their state is.

I would gladly trade with any of you and soak in all of the ungodly heat.

Its better than fucking Michigan or Ohio.
And a fuckload better than any other state in the Deep South.
