So, we have an AW ban. At least we don't have floods and twisters and tons of rattlesnakes and asshole blackwidow spiders. After seeing the news the last couple of days who cares if N.Y. has the highest taxes and no flashiders(on new ar's). I LOVE N.Y.

Uh, there are plenty of states that do not have the natural disasters and drawbacks that you speak of and still have a rational view of RKBA. Just because NY is not crippled by a blizzard today or a smoking radioactive crater does not make it the best place to live in.
Viva Georgia! |
|
Ben Franklin identified that mindset long ago.
|
|
|
Good! Stay there!
I would rather deal with the blackwidows than more yankees. |
|
|
I didn't say N.Y was the best. I just said I'm not so bad off here as I thought.
Ice storm=big deal. I didn't even lose power in rochester. |
|
that is no problem at all vs. NOLA. i'd rather be cold than hot and wet |
|
|
Ice storm=big deal. I was walking home during the middle of it. I didn't lose power. the great flood of 72. big deal the Mt Morris dam held up fine.
|
|
My g/f and I were talking about that (she wants to move south). The ice storm in 98? was pretty bad, but I'll take a blizzard over twisters and floods.
Plus it's nice here in the summer, not --> |

Actually, NY and the northeast is pretty nice in the summer and fall. It's just the other five months..... |
|
|
You support the Empire State sending her to DC? (one step closer to the White House) |
||
|
Why is everyone so sensitive? I never said N.Y is the best and your state sucks. I just said N.Y in not so bad after all. I would love to move. How can I. I have a good company I started here.
|
|
I like the winter today is great though. sunny, mid 70s, finally low humidity, nice breeze |
||
|
(I think everyone's state has been picked on at one time or another, mine included, especially after the thieveing legislature raped us for a midnight pay raise - just that some folks are either too touchy or have no sense of humor) |

Actually it's nice all year round if you like winter sports. NY is a big state so it also depends on what region of NY you're talking about. In many areas the weather is still pretty nice except for three months of the year. If you're up by the Canadian border you'll freeze your ass off in the six month winter. What sucks is the liberal asswipes in the major cities, high school/property/sales taxes, very high utility costs, high real estate/housing costs and restrictive handgun laws in NYC and to varying degrees in other counties. On the plus side many areas have much higher salaries and employment opportunities then other areas around the country. NY is also a sportsman's paradise with millions of acres of public big/small game hunting areas and both salt and fresh water fishing. A good portion of NYS is also farm and rural communities. |

Please define "tons..
and what of the other the 296 species of spiders in NY? ref: research.amnh.org/entomology/blackrock2/check_list.htm |

The day I can drive through PA without some part of 81 being down to one lane you can talk! What do they do, spend all summer fixing the road with chocolate pudding or something!?!? The highway is wrecked all winter and closed all summer! |
|||
|
The snakes and bugs and stuff are kinda gross down south I went to the Chattanooga Aquarium, they had a whole section on "terrifying wiggly shit from the woods of the South" edit The otters were pretty cool though! The New Orleans Aquarium had a pretty neat otter section also, I hope they're okay |
|||
|
huh? it meant Fuck U that ain't funny |
|||
|
I agree! As reprehensible and scummy New York is for putting the Hildebeast in office, the roads in PA (ALWAYS voted worst in the country by trucker magazines) and slimebag politicians (Fast Eddie & the gun grabbers, playing at a courthouse near you) render it equally odious. Were it not for Jersey, Maryland and Ohio* teaming up to make PA look like a paradise in comparison, it would be hellhole surpassed only by Massachusetts & Kommiefornia. *"On fire since 1969" |

Too hot, no seasons. X-mas with no snow on evergreen trees?--> + scorpians, snakes, spiders! |
|
|
Area 51 = alien nooky |
||
|
Not true. Northern AZ has snow and trees and other cool stuff. Flagstaff AZ www.arizonasnowbowl.com/interior/winteractivities/winteractivities.html It's on my lsit of escape to states. |

NY sucks....
Served 43 years.... Was taxed out a home that my wife and I hand built... Still getting love notes from Albany saying I owe more income tax... Payed on average .25 cents more a gallon for gas.... Not sure what the differnce is today... 2.79 this evening here in VT Not able to legally carry.... Stupid AWB If they only gave NYC to NJ.... I love it here in VT..... You can have NY... |
|
I bet there are scorpians under that snow! |
|||
|
I've got bad news for you. If a catastrophe of the NO magnitude hit NYC it would be NO x1,000! There is probably a tsunami with NYC's name on it somewhere down the road.
|
|
What happens when the power DOES go out, city boy? What then? And trust me - the power will go out. |
|
|
Power goes out in upstate NY pretty frequently. |
||
|
No doubt. That's what GF's are for. You send them out as scouts. If they start screaming and jumping up and down just go in the other direction. Keep in mind this will only work with a GF and not a wife. |
|
|
I'm aware of this through the "Spider Catch and Release Program" |
||
|
I love NY-except for the liberal cockroaches that have fatally infested our political system. A little snow bothers me not at all.
Politically, NY is doomed. Too many fester with the entitlement mindset. Just a matter of time. |
|
I'm reserving comment as I would have to lock this thread and ban myself for what I really want to say about NY sometimes.
|
|
It's like I say every year when people start to grumble about the heat in Phoenix: "If it weren't for the heat, the damn snowbirds would never leave." |
|
|
Stop your gubmint and real estate developers from begging the yankees to move there. I think they like yankee money. |

Please, please, please, since you are so happy,get your countrymen to GO BACK to N.Y...they have ruined Florida!!!!! Snakes, hurricans, looters, are preferable to "we didn't do it that way back "nawth".
|
|
im not sure the water temp gets warm enuff here on LI for a hurricane to strengthen to a Cat 5
|
|
Except being on their way to becoming Northern Mexico. |
|
|
Gloat now, and hope the ROP does not score again........................................................
|
|
If so then LI is fucked. You think N.O. is bad, imagine that same situation in NYC. Hardly anyone would be able to evacuate Long Island. Id have a better chance of getting off the Island by heading up north in my boat. |
|
|
The word on the street is the NY City mayor said they could handle 25,000 hurricane victims and house them for at least 6 months. Just put them on planes and keep'em coming!
|
|
I think you all live in paradises compared to Colorado.
This place is the worst. Why would anyone want to live here? You would all be better off just to stay where you are. No reason to move here that's for sure. Nope, none at all. Seydou |
