why do so many people bash Jersey? is it jealousy or are they that ignorant about Jersey?

sure there are bad parts of the state, but no more than any other state. there are so many beautiful places there. i was born there in '66 and moved south with my family in '83, and i'm still proud to say i'm from Jersey. i couldn't imagine a better place to grow up, and i miss it still today. also, i've never seen any people more proud than Jersey people.

    Well "sunshine" didn't go to a school in Jersey....

    WHAT ever happened to sentence formation sweetie????? We can't even read your ignorant answer as it takes 20 minutes to fugure out what your even trying to say.

    Why is it that people have an opinion about a place they haven't educated themselves on........

    Hello,..it is called "the garden state"............. not the newark state. HBO and all those shows only concentrate on a certain area of NJ. Even at the end of the show the credits have the listings of the towns they filmed in....same towns.. and towns in Jersey are small.

    Jersey tomatos, jersey cows.... horse racing is big here but they live on huge estates IN NEW JERSEY. Our property tax and our car insurance are the highest in the country...yet if it was such a **** hole then why do people continue to move there? Why is it that for the square footage of the state we are the most over crowded? Because NJ is not just a place ....as the california guy said yeah it snows in NJ, and cali is sunny..... NJ isn't just a place,..it's an experience. We have heart. We have pride. We have an identity. Whatever we are that you all think is less then about us, then I know you aren't from a place of pride and that's why you just don't get us.

    Hey,..they sold alot of t-shirts about jersey boys doing it best .... I amagine one or two were bought by outta towners on one of those seaside sping breaks by a girl or 2..

    'Cause Jersey isn't really a classy town, it's not got a good reputation, and there's a lot of people in the media/in movies/on tv that show Jersey residents as thinking they're perfect, when they're definitely not.

    Heidi- I'm not the person so ignorant that I can't think of any other words to use besides swears. Maybe you should go buy a dictionary. Besides, If it's so great, why do you care what people say? Why aren't you out enjoying it? Guess you're one of those perfect Jersey jerks. "Fugure" that one out, genius.
