[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister lived in south Florida for a few years. As a DC transplant, she called it Fori-duh...said she was surrounded by conservative gun-toting morons. Most people work in hospitality and have no clue or interest in politics or the community.

She knew she couldn't raise a family there, so she left. [/quote]
Uhh, south Florida is one of the most reliably Democratic areas in the country, and is populated almost entirely by transplants from the Northeast or immigrants. But okay. [/quote]
Seriously! South Florida conservative? Gun heavy? I just about spit out my drink.

I just about spit out my drink. Maybe PP’s sister was just scared of brown people or people who speak Spanish and that’s why she decided to leave. Easier to say “it’s the conservatives!!”[/quote]

Well, it's not Texas but is absolutely gun-heavy compared to DC. They have the death penalty and that's a good indicator of a kill or be killed type atmosphere. [/quote]

And the Stand Your Ground law which got Trayvon Martin killed. People forget because of the beautiful beaches but Florida was just as much part of the Confederacy as Georgia and it shares a lot of its population with GA/AL too.[/quote]
Huh. Well, the murder rates in both Florida and Texas are well-below that of Maryland - where the murder rate is among the highest in the US. [/quote]

The OP came from D.C. not Maryland...so I'm not sure how that's relevant. [/quote]

The murder rate in DC is twice that of Maryland, and three times higher than Florida's murder rate.  DC used to be the murder capital of the US.  [/quote]
