    What is it with Florida?

    Everyone seems to despice Florida somehow, and always say "well it's Florida, what you expect". And with good reason. The bigger part of the retarded news reports I see come from Florida. Is there something in the water there or is it like a cultural socio-economic thing? Or is it just the laws? What makes Florida the center of retarded news subjects?

    Retarded laws, first of all.

    Like Jersey is despised because of the retarded people.

    *retarded = not the medical condition, just a name for ridiculous, thoughtless, or outright stupid.

    it's the miles of paper farm forests. you can drive down a 3 mile straight road, and see nothing but tall trees that, i assume, are for paper. it's almost hypnotic... watching the almost perfect rows of trees.

    Then maybe the population should fix their issues so other people don't belittle them? It's much easier than convincing the bashers to stop generalizing.

    Quite simply, Jeb Bush did an impeccable job at rigging the system against sensibility, and Rick Scott has led the push to exacerbate it.

    If anything, it's just a meme; like the media being more likely to report crimes that are potentially racially motivated. People expect crazy stories out of Florida, so people are given crazy stories out of Florida. I seriously doubt that sort of crap happens any less often in other places.

    Jeb Bush and now Rick Scott have created a mess that i quite frankly doubt Florida will ever recover from.

    I live in Georgia and have heard many stories from people who went to Florida.

    No good comes from going to Florida

    As a Florida resident myself, I agree it's a lot of silly laws, plus a lot of disparate types of people. Same thing in the business world, there's a lot of shady/unscrupulous/crap businesses in Florida for a variety of reasons (mostly no state taxes and a lot of pro-employer laws).

    I would love to move back to Florida. It is a bit cray though. Has nothing to do with the politicians and everything to do with cray breeds cray.

    Not bashing an entire state. Just questioning how its possible to have 90% of the news that makes u go "wtf" comes from florida.

    Well we get people from all over the country and even world moving here. I personally blame the sun as the heat + drugs = bad news.

    Most of the weird stuff you hear about Florida happens in the Northern part of the state.

    I blame Florida Man, the world's worst superhero.

    Not only having the laws, but having those laws enforced.

    I used to frequent the Sun Sentinel website for all the funny news stories. A sad/funny.

    The real reason (I went to university in Florida for 8 years)

    Florida is a state of failures. Its white population are people from the northeast who failed in life and went to Florida for an easy life in a warm climate. Its black population is poor and suffers from drug problems. Same with its Latino population.

    Jacksonville is full of crime, Tampa is full of crime, Miami is full of crime. Like any state there are plenty of nice pockets but its exotic nature attracts "exotic" individuals.
