re: #733 Sheila Broflovski

You said you’re in New Jersey. Aren’t Jersey people usually all rude and shit?

Not that I have ever watched Jersey Shore or anything, but that’s the stereotype that us non-Jerseyians have.//

I like your posts, so I’ll keep it polite, as it were: No. We’re no more rude than any other state.

If there’s an origin for our supposed rudeness, much of it comes from the rest of our countrymen buy into the idiotic and lazy stereotype that everyone here acts like they’re on The Sopranos and The Jersey Shore.

Many people from Southeast PA have told me in no uncertain terms they think NJ is a shit hole, for reasons only they understand.

Seriously, don’t tread this path today. By this time tomorrow, NJ is going to be in a world of hurt, both human-wise and financially.

EDIT: Making it clear that the Jersey rudeness stereotype is just as stupid as saying everyone from Texas is an illiterate hick or that Californians are addle brained stoners.
