It's tough. talking to people you realise how much better your place is than theirs compared to the rest of the country. There's a reason why North Carolina has more net people coming in than any other state in the union. it's an arrogance, but well deserved. I can't explain it. I'm surmising another date. don't be offended.

i left NC last summer

not that i really wanted to though

1/6/2008 12:18:07 PM

Truest statement ever on TWW.

1/6/2008 12:18:36 PM

1/6/2008 12:19:58 PM

You are a better person than most, simply because you happen to have been born in a state currently experiencing population growth. Congratulations!

South Carolina, on the other hand, is a shit hole

1/6/2008 1:22:42 PM

FALSE

1/6/2008 1:27:05 PM

big time

I had the distinct displeasure of driving from highway 26 on a bunch of SC highways to Chester, SC recently

and then back to civilization (I-85) to get to ATL

1/6/2008 1:27:07 PM

North Carolina is not going to be nice much longer. The population influx is going to turn it into a place just like the newcomers are trying to get away from.

i agree, but where im living now (greenville, sc) is actually really nice.

1/6/2008 1:43:25 PM

Greenville is a charlotte in training

they're building so much shit their right now.

and all the new highschools are beautiful

1/6/2008 1:52:35 PM

1/6/2008 4:09:41 PM

honestly there are only 4 states right now i can see myself living in, and out of those 4, nc is at the top of the list(sigh)

1/6/2008 4:12:46 PM

AGREED SOUTH CAROLINA is a total SHITHOLE. they should fire bomb the whole state. went to florence, sc to buy some furniture one time and also was in basic training there. SHITTIEST STATE IN THE CONFEDERACY. hands down.

1/6/2008 4:23:34 PM

Raleigh's future is shown in Capital Blvd. That place should be razed.

1/6/2008 4:35:47 PM

One thing I can say for South Carolina is that most counties have a county seat by the same name. Use that map to compare NC and SC. When I tell people I am from Stanly County, NC, their first thought is always Stanley, NC near Lincolnton.

1/6/2008 4:49:22 PM

^^ basically.

1/6/2008 4:50:09 PM

Its true...Millbrook is slowly becoming a shithole east to west...so is spring forest east to west...atlantic has gone to the dogs...falls of neuse is almost there anywhere south of the Freshmarket. My parents house isn't that far away from the westward migration of the new mix of Raleigh denizen. Even glenwood around pleasant valley sucks now (when did that place get bad?).

1/6/2008 4:56:53 PM

i like it here in Raleigh. but i cant wait to move to Savannah

1/6/2008 5:39:34 PM

man, i live just over the savannah river in SC, in a podunk town called garnett. theres nothing out here. it's a 2 hour drive to columbia, and there is seriously nothing inbetween.

1/6/2008 8:33:20 PM

^^^ Are we talking about ghetto people or neo-yuppies?

1/6/2008 8:36:12 PM

Violence, crime, bad drivers drunks etc...

not so much ghetto ppl vs yuppie people.

1/6/2008 10:27:02 PM

bttt

3/14/2008 1:45:39 PM

New Jersey is way underrated

Its in the top 10 of all states easily, proably top 5

only ones definitely better are Cali, Florida, and Puerto Rico

3/14/2008 1:47:07 PM

as long as we keep Durham contained, I think we will be fine.

3/14/2008 1:52:59 PM

everything along new bern ave til 540 sucks

i have proof

that is something that has always kinda annoyed me. I am from Washington county and when I tell peolpe that they say, "Oh, little Washington." then I say no, Little Washington is actually in Beaufort County, but NC also has a town named Beaufort in the southeastern part of the state. And then there is Greene county but Greenville is in Pitt county.

3/14/2008 2:23:41 PM

sometimes i wish i lived in a state where if you ask someone where they're from they give you the name of a city instead of a county.

3/14/2008 4:42:34 PM

lol

3/14/2008 4:43:46 PM

If Raleigh had the Smithsonian, the USDA, the Orioles, and a subway system, it would be the shit.

3/14/2008 4:44:37 PM

well, for the longest time, most of North Carolina did not live in the city

3/14/2008 4:45:18 PM

you raise a valid point. and a lot of people probably still dont live in a city. my parents house is technically in the county i guess, but i still say raleigh instead of wake county. but who says wake county anyway, that is just dumb. its always counties i haven't heard of/even if i have i know not what direction they're in. but if you say like "sylva" i'm like ok western NC. or if you say "albemarle" i'm like now we're goin east.

3/14/2008 4:49:08 PM

who goes to college in the same town they grew up in...reminds me of the folks that graduate highschool and stay in the same town all the time

3/14/2008 4:50:35 PM

man, if only DNL had chosen Elon

3/14/2008 4:51:24 PM

went to good old south carolina first for college (cofc) then i cammmme back. i almost didn't almost went up to ohio but my parents didn't trust me being out of state again.

oh also it was cheap. and i've left raleigh plenty of times. i can't help it if i'm not from rando, NC. a lot of raleigh people end up at state. GUESS we could have gone to chapel thrill but, i look good in red so.

do you like pearls? i think women with pearls is pretty

3/14/2008 4:54:13 PM

ehhhhh not so much

3/14/2008 4:55:37 PM

brunettes with pearls usually looks really good...idk maybe its just me =/

3/14/2008 4:56:19 PM

I'm a Yankee transplant. Yes, I moved to Cary. Sigh.

I appreciate Sweet Tea and Southern Belle accents though. Thank you, NC!

3/14/2008 4:57:39 PM

i think i was meant to be born in the north, but somehow i ended up down here. whoopsy. i'm an interesting breed. and i don't have much of a southern accent aka none even though i've lived here my whole life. i wanna move UPPPPPPP thurrrr when i'm done with school, i'm sure i'll come back eventually. i just gotta get out for awhile.

3/14/2008 5:02:12 PM

South Carolina, on the other hand, is a shit hole

3/14/2008 5:07:51 PM

I'm pretty sure I was meant to be born in the south. I was always nice to people in MD and they thought I was so weird.

3/14/2008 5:09:41 PM

^^^ BYE

[Edited on March 14, 2008 at 5:10 PM. Reason : .]

3/14/2008 5:09:52 PM

4^Plenty of people who grew up in NC don't have discernable accents, and no, you don't want to move up north. There is a very good reason why people from the north move down here.

[Edited on March 14, 2008 at 5:12 PM. Reason : ^^]

3/14/2008 5:12:15 PM

hahaha i wouldn't move because of the accent. i would move because i'm tired of here. when i grad i will have spent 25 years residing in the same state. would like a change. and yes, a lot of people from the north move here for the weather. i, on the other hand, enjoy big cities and the cold

3/14/2008 5:14:01 PM

i kinda want to live in either seattle or chicago

3/14/2008 5:15:33 PM

Why Seattle?

3/14/2008 5:16:29 PM

at least we are better than fucking florida

fuck that state
