      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A49       MSGID: 1:342/200 0ff3b3f9       REPLY: 1:342/200 51001542       TZUTC: -0700        IJ> There is a saying in Florida... and that is... The further North you are        IJ> n Florida the further south you are.              This sounds logical to me because: the southern states seem to be the MAGA       states, for the most part.               IJ> A lot of people who move to Florida from up north move to the more        IJ> southern parts of the state... It starts around Tampa and continues        IJ> south... You can hear all the NY accents... and when these assholes        IJ> from NY move they bring their politics with them... This explains Miami,        IJ> and other larger southern cities voting Democrat. Thanx to Ron DeSantis        IJ> and Daddy Trump these Blue areas now are Purple.              Hmm.. this is very interesting to me! It has always been my assumption that       the NYers move to Florida to escape the grasp of the left.. but I'm wrong       about that? It sounds like they are just going there to escape the cold       weather, and they're taking their ignorance with them. On behalf of the 48% of       NYers who are 100% MAGA, I apologize for this trash that's littering your       state.               IJ> I had a Real Estate license in Florida, still do, since the early 2000s.        IJ> My first real estate translation involved guns and gunfire...              Got any cheap land for sale? My wife is turning into a land collector. And I       told you about her: she's a MAGAmaniac. She converted me from brainwashed       leftist to redneck conservative patriot. If you got any cheap land for sale in       MAGA country, please tell us about it. I think she'd buy it!               IJ> So, the tenants drove through the RV park shooting guns in the air while        IJ> yelling that the buyers need to go back to Ohi'ya.              That's funny! I always thought of Ohio people as hillbillies, but I don't know       much about Ohio. I have a few good friends from different parts of Ohio. One       thing I noticed about them is that they talk like they're from Ontario! Ever       noticed that? They seriously talk like Canadians.               IJ> If I was ever in need of help... it was a        IJ> Conservative/Republican/RedNeck that had my back. They were there              When I was a kid in jr high I was bullied by rednecks (I'm from a rural town       in NY.) So I always hated rednecks and country music, but now I AM a redneck       and I proudly listen to country music almost every day. Country people are my       people (for the most part anyway!)               IJ> One last true story... I just moved down there and it was Veteran's Day        IJ> and I was at a church. The pastor started asking for people to stand        IJ> up, veterans, as he started a roll call of conflicts... WW1, WW2, Korea,        IJ> Vietnam... and the list goes on and on. As he was calling out the        IJ> conflicts people started standing... Of course he calls out for Desert        IJ> Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom... By the time he was there almost        IJ> every man... BUT ME... was standing. In my head I was YELLING "I'm        IJ> Canadian!!! That's not fair"...        IJ>         IJ> HAHAHAHA... Could you imagine how much worse I'd be if I was actually        IJ> born there, raised and steeped in the southern ways...              This sounds like an interesting story, but I'm missing something here. Do you       mean you felt weird because you're from Canada, and the leftist Canadian       government has given Canada a bad name?              Personally, I've been in situations where I'm surrounded by veterans and I       feel a little ashamed because I never joined the military. I have the utmost       respect for people who enlist, but personally I know myself well enough to       know that I'm not cut out for the military. I don't have that type of bravery.       I'm the kind of guy who would probably just move to Iceland if America gets       f'd over.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64)        * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/200)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 700 705       SEEN-BY: 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 342/200 202 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 342/200 229/426           |
