Charley ripped the shingles off my roof, left and antenna who no one owned in the area in our front yard, and made my roof leak. I was awake during the wind gusts of 155 miles per hour.

DetroitBasketball!!! 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Yo,,, If Puerto Rican people argued with us that they have a better basketball team with the U.S basketball team, and all we had to say is- "Our country is better than yours", Wouldn't we be shallow for that? Its olny natural for Orlando fans to walk off the court after being beaten, and say "So what if you beat us, you city is on an economic decline." At that point, theyre boasting in whatever theyve put the effort into building. (and it is not their basketball team.) I hope Orlando doesnt take too much pride in their city. That would not be smart, considering how dangerous it is to live there. It is very dangerous to live there because of the hurricane, and I just dont know how you can boast about how beautiful a city Orlando is, when its right in the hurricane path. We saw how New Orleans was humbled, I like Orlando, I wouldnt want to see them humled as well. So lets stick to basketball, and not boast about cities that take decades to build, and are in days destroyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't do anything about a plane hitting the World Trade center, and frankly ever since then manfactoring jobs have been down. Can "you" promise that South Florida won't be flooded next year? Well then? I don't know what you guys call it up north, but down here it's manufacturing, not "manfactoring." No big deal. As for my "circle graph" (It's actually a pie chart, but we will get into that later), you said something about our crime being bad, so using what I call "facts," I showed you what you were referring to. Understand, or do I need to dumb it down for you? Marc, don't ban this guy, he is entertaining. These are circle graphs. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but that's funny right there. Yeah, ummmm.

AvengaStyle!!!!!! (Hi Marc!) 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Yo, O-Dub, I'll set the record straight by saying that Central Florida is a great place to go to, as far as live...maybe when I'm 70. If I'm gonna live in Florida in my youth I rather go to Miami. Regardless your state has hurricanes and your city looks like its gotten hit everytime I've been there. Everything needs to be repainted and freqent storms don't help either. The point is, both cities are a great place to learn and live and both states have something to offer. Michigan is for the cold activities and fall, Florida is for the hot activities and summer. Michigan has ammusment parks also, and we're close to Cedar Point in Ohio which is better than any disney park unless your a little kid. Florida has alot better roads and rice burners. Detroit Muscles cars are my favorite but roads suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Florida has alot better roads and rice burners, compared to the Detroit Muscles cars and bad roads. OMG. Disney really is all you think when your talking about Orlando. We have a lot more than Disney and besides, I get into Disney free so I don't care about it. 70 year olds don't go to Universal or Busch Gardens cause they have to be "REALLY HEALTHY". I don't see them in our clubs either. And by the way. We haven't been hit by hurricanes ever since 2004. As you can see, its cooling down with the blizzards and snow that you guys get up there so I'm living in peace!! But heres the thing. We all live in United States and all are Americans so we are really living in the same place, just a different location. Your welcomed to Florida anytime cause thats your choice. Please, Please, Please......don't look like a tourist. Know where your going. Don't where a Hawaiian shirt if you ever come to Orlando. Loads of people hate that. Some people even spit on tourists.

Don't where a Hawaiian shirt if you ever come to Orlando. I'm actually wearing a Hawaiian shirt right now. It's blue and white, with little splashes of yellow on some of the flowers. I'm not a tourist(I'm actually not in Florida right now. Or Hawaii for that matter. I'm in NC). I just like them because they're soft and colorful. I wear them all the time when I'm in Orlando, because of the aforementioned reasons, but also because they're thin, which is nice in the heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
