Lol. I always say "consider the source" lol...Honestly it does bring to life the differences between the big apple and its surrounding Burroughs and the rest of the world. There is no place in the world like NYC we all know that much. And the people that live there have so much going on around them its hard for them to comprehend anything else that is less stressful.

By nature they are awesome people...they are but their lives are totally shaped and formatted as a result of living in an environment that has what 14 million people in the area lol.. So logic would say if one goes to Vermont they would say WTF lol...

I live in Syracuse, our issue is when we go someplace and say were from NY people think....lol...Manhattan lol...NYC is such a huge area people just assume when you say NY you mean Manhattan lol....

I work at the Carrier Dome as a cook for basketball and football games. I work with students and I have met some parents who show up on parents weekend. Many are from the city and its surrounding metros. Typically they love our area because we have that rush hour with 3 cars and a tractor trailer lol, they really like how mellow and normal it is compared to their hustle and bustle they deal with daily...What they dont like is snow and cold....they cant fathom how we will get two plus feet of lake effect and it doesnt stop us from our daily routine....Ironically it makes them run back to their city and appreciate the hustle and bustle as compared to SNOW!!!!!

So basically what I am saying is you need to expect that attitude particularly from someone who lives in a penthouse in NYC....

btw us people who live up here have a name for those who live down there and visa versa...lol They refer to us as "hicks" and we refer to them as "cidiots" lol

The only good thing about the Post are the clever/smarmy headlines. Someone made a book of them-

The post is just entertainment...the author is just a stupid bitch. Anyone who thinks all New Yorkers south of the Tappan Zee Bridge are like this "writer" is ignorant.

So I read the whole thing. It's not that bad, especially considering the paper and the author. Meh. Who's going skiing this weekend?

You guys are definitely not NY'ers if you take anything as more than a grain of salt from the Post. Murdoch's number 1 USA rag! The Post has one redeeming quality....you can read the headlines when you're still a block away from a newstand.

Is it a grain of salt or a pound of cr*p? Glad that paper doesn't circulate up here!

I feel the same about CT. & MA people. Biggest a-holes on the slopes.

Damn, give me a Masshole or CT person anyday over a New Yorker (except upstaters, they are cool). Honestly, I've shared the chair with some that were so bad I wanted to jump ship.

Wow, you guys take things way to seriously. I'm obviously just screwing around. People are people everywhere you go. Some are really cool, others suck at life. So how about you guys lighten up a bit, eh?

The New York Post is in national circulation. Not sure about The Daily News (it's main competitor) which is IMO, even worse. Though I think they both have their place in the market if you like reading lighter news and local cray-cray happenings.

I didn't start this crap you did. And yeah CT. & MA. people are the worst on the mountain. They can't even show common courtesy while driving how do you expect them to show it while skiing?
