I agree with you 100% man.  It\'s more so the type of people that populate each state that gives off the odorous reputation.

CT and I hate it.

New Jersey is the armpit of America


enough said.

Jerseyites and CTers arguring about whose state is scummier is like the special olympics (you fill in the blank).

Yes - it\'s a highway that goes north and south.  I do believe that CT has those as well and even some that go east and west.  

What\'s your point.  We\'ve got factories off of our turnpike and so do you.  I lived in your lovely state for 8 years and know all of the wonders of CT.  My point being that NJ may not be the cleanest state or the state with the most to do, but CT isn\'t all that great either.

There are good things to do in both states, but you out-of-towners don\'t only see Newark and the Turnpike, so let\'s drop the armpit of america **** until you\'ve give the WHOLE state a once over.

Connecticut may be part of snotty New England, but remember that you are ALSO part of the Tri-State Area, which means that you\'re just as bad as New York and New Jersey!

Ketchup and noodles for everyone!!

It\'s personal opinion on which state is WAY better.  I\'ve lived in both, but I\'m staying in Jersey.

As for Superfund Sites - CT has it\'s fair share, plus NJ is just a little more densly populated.

CT Cops profile as well, it may not be racially, but ask the cops who pulled me over and searched my car on numerous occasions for having out of state plates.  Last time I checked that was also profiling.

But basically you\'re saying that in order to live in a good state, it needs to appear to have no crime, appear to have no pollution, make more money than anyone else (which wouldn\'t be the case if you took out Fairfield county) and be a haven for crunchy granola hippies.  I know that NJ isn\'t the cleanest or the best, but you CT people walk around like your **** don\'t stink! I\'m not trying to make this a NJ vs. CT thing, but to trash Jersey because you\'ve seen one or two places and look at the financial and eco statistics - that\'s just ignorant.

Wow someone gets sensitive when people make fun of NJ.

I was just busting balls. I grew up in CT and live in NY now. Some of my closest friends are from NJ. The stereotypes are just that but there is truth to it as with all stereotypes.

Didn\'t mean to get your panties all twisted up, sorry.
