What's so great about New Jersey?

Is there really discontent between NJers and NYers?

Not discontent, just a bit of mutual benign disrespect -- 'I go where you live a lot, but I'd never live where you live.'

To New Yorkers, Jersery people are ex New Yorkers who couldn't take the heat and at least did hardcore New Yorkers the favor of getting their asses out of the kitchen.

To Jersey people, New Yorkers are suckers who tolerate the same fast pace of life and high cost of living they do, and don't even get a yard or a decent sized place to live.

Hope that clears things up.

I say 'they', not 'we' because I'm from Upstate New York. We're essentially midwestern country folk who coincidentally share a name and a state government with a big international metropilis.
 
^Cheers man, that was a good post. Having read that, I must say, I'd prefer jersey. Seems a bit more chilled. :)

Maybe you folks can check out my hometown Melbourne one day. Medium sized city and you can find a large home/big backyard like 10kms out from the CBD. Unfortunately, it's an expensive place to live--no where near as bad as Sydney though (people from Melbourne hate people from Sydney FYI, lol).
 
Yea, like he said, there's no hate.

I guess you could say there's a bit of rivalry between the two areas. Jersey people, stuck up as they are, think they're the best, and New Yorkers, living in the best city in the world, also think they're the best.

New Yorkers are tough, but Jersey people are (for different reasons) as well, which leads them to butt heads.

A lot of people from Jersey work, shop, and go out for fun in the city, I would say that a significant percentage of the people roaming around NYC are from jersey. Coming from a New Yorker's point of view, they may view Jerzians as "lesser New Yorkers", and of course, people from New Jersey resent this.
 
I'm a Jersey dude who works in NYC a lot. NYers and Jerzies like to make fun of each other in a very sarcastic way that would scare people from out of town. If you don't say truly horrible things to eachother there is a problem. But there is love, somewhere.... Fuck off!

You're more likely to hear a New York accent in Monmouth County, NJ than in Manhattan these days, no joke. I don't even hear people say shit like 'cawfee tawk' much when I'm in Brooklyn anymore. Staten Island is a different story, though 8o

The key to understanding the bittersweet relationship most northern Jersey folk have with NYC is the fact that most of their families came from there, and felt pushed out to Jersey when their old neighborhood got too expensive or too ethnically different from what they remember. They all still love New York -- the way THEY remember it and wish it still was.

U talkin bout tha pound...

You get killed anywhere you go yo, it dont matter the hood its the people u fuck wit and how you act n conduct yourself. u get killed in p town just like u get killed in newark or n.orleans or east new york or whatever, u feel me? people dont realize the main thing...if u just passin thru....u keep to yourself n dont act stupid n you most likely gonna be straight....people be all worried hearin bout ppl gettin shot or whatever not thinkin most of the ppl that happens to, is caught up n involved in shit, you feel me, they got reasons for that shit, it aint all just random. u just visiting, u aint involved in no drama or nothin, n aint a part of the life , n u aint got to worry about that they aint worried about u....The most u got to worry about is stickin out of place n gettin ran up on wit some guns or whatever cuz u were stupid n brought a nice car/nice clothes etc to the hood and made notice of it. thats what people who dont know whas up got to worry about....not real intense shit mostly....sure there is always the random freak wrong place wrong time kinda problems, but in general when you passin thru, YOU aint the one who got to live wit the problems there, you are just in n out, so i dont know why people get so paranoid about whats gonna happen to em like the hood is a livin breathin monster thats gonna break ur windows n eat u a live just for passing over a certain street....u feel me....

@ synth007, where in paterson were u at? I definatley wouldnt call it a "suburban" neighborhood lol....unless u were drivin thru on the outside by clifton or some shit....

no offense...but you really are sounding ridiculous right now. first of all new jersey isn't one big sopranos episode, and as a lifetime resident i have to say its pretty much nothing like that, and i know i can't be sure how new jersey is to you...but im pretty sure your are exaggerating. first of all, i know the area you live in because its the same area i live in, and let me tell the fellow blue-lighters that its actually kind of redneck..and the people dont act that way..and nobodys been shot in our area in several years. and the "hoods" and scary people she are talkin about are kinda fictionalized..the state isnt as bad as it use to be..yea camden is the worst in the country but thats really just the exception..only certain areas of paterson are bad..and nobody really messes with u for the way that you act...there arent people wandering around all day just fucking with each other..people have things to do..its only if you give them trouble..and lacey im sorry but you really sound stupiid saying this knowing where u reside...its the whitest calmest town in the world and you know it...and the way you talk is really just embarresing..get real
 
On a bright note i would like to bring up the most new jersey thing in the world. Taylor Ham, egg and cheese anyone? That breakfast sandwich is probably the most New Jersey thing i know. You go to almost any other state and ask for a pork roll, egg and cheese and people look at you like you have three heads.

Philly cheese steak is to philly as taylor ham is to new jersey.

I've personally been to the bad spots in P-town and yes, it is hood. It's not like fucking Compton but you still might get robbed.

There are definitely areas where you can't step out of your car at night. Obviously in the day it's bustling and relatively safe for the most part, but there are bad areas.

Lol and did you even read her post? She said the same exact thing you did.

Can you fuckin read? all I said in my entire post is that shit aint bad as long as you mind your bizness, but if you sayin that shits fictionalized then i dont know what to tell you cuz your lack of experience is speakin for itself.

you live a half hr away from me, and did you ever take a second to think that not everybody is born up there? Unlike most of the people in that area, i aint spent my whole life there. I dont give a fuck where I live at now, i aint from here, my family aint from here, and I aint stayin here any longer than I gotta so...Dont worry bout that. I guarantee I spend more time in p town than you do so stick to what you know. I dont kno why you gotta get all stupid on that shit, tryin to call ppl out when you dont even know the situation. See you on market st buddy.

When i was workin in a deli (well a couple times actually, shit) it was always acronyms like that...."I need a BEC, S no PK" I remember just thinkin of orders in terms of BEC, SEC, and T.h.EC.........Thats some classic jersey language right there


BUt shame on you for "PEC" ...Everyone knows its only pork roll in south jersey, up here its taylor ham;)
 
Its Pork Roll. Taylor Ham is a name you people from North Jersey made up. Go anywhere in Central NJ and its pork roll also (South Jersey is just East PA anyway, so their opinion is invalid). I used to get into arguments all the time with people in North Jersey because they wouldn't sell me a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich. Either way, read the package to see whats its named.
 
This thread pretty much reinforces why I don't like New Jersey. I've met a ton of people from there, and I only like a couple. I also lost a lot of money there one time. At a casino, not in a ghetto...
 
seriously

come on now, ive been a jersey boy since hmmmmm i was 1 i think lol anyways, its mos def a hardcore state newark camden trenton the fields ac brunswicks and some others but to be honest i cant stand it in jersey, you cant travel 5ft without being in another town, i mean shit in the part im at, you got boundbrook,bridgewater,somerville,raritan(which they count as bridgewater) n you can cross all that in a 5min car drive, tooo many ppl in this damn state thats the only bad part lol but other than that shit jersey goes hard in the paint, plus just look at all the famous ppl that have come out of jersey.
