North Lauderdale wants to split Florida into two states

i think north lauderdale doesn't qualify for north or south florida, more like a third world country. they can't even manage their own city. the idea of making suggestions to the state is like Haiti telling the u.s. they should improve.

Florida is already broken up into several states...
The panhandle, or L.A.(Lower Alabama is totally redneck and an extension of the deep south.
Mid-stae is more like "Middle America;" Kansas, etc.
Broward/Palm Beach are extensions of New York/Boston/Cicago and Miami-Dade is a suburb or Havana...

What a “paradise” you guys have created down there. Let’s review shall we:
*Lead the nation in road rage
*Number one in inflation
*Number one in mortgage fraud (this was for all of Florida, but I’m sure it’s mostly because of you losers)
*Number one in new AIDS cases
*Number one in foreclosures
*Second to last in percentage of volunteers (selfish people, this article was in the herald about 6 months ago)
*constant gridlock traffic
*Corrupt politicians (Dade police chief Timony, Broward sheriff Jenne, and every Miami politician)
*Cost of living (sky high home prices, homeowners insurance, car insurance, property taxes)
*Hurricanes
*Awful schools
*High crime (it seems I hear about a police officer getting shot every week)
*Extreme Overpopulation
*Americans are treated like foreigners in their own country (Is English even spoken down there anymore?)
*Horrible customer service (every place I go into the workers are incredibly rude)
The quality of life is so much better in so many other places, South Floridians must be the dumbest people in the country to put up with all this.

Another stupid idea that should never have made it into the newspaper.

Maybe it can't happen constitutionally NOW, but a popular outcry is what it takes to enact constitutional changes.
And leaving us with a population of 10 million makes us a force to be reckoned with. Also, add in that most likely SFL would be a strong Democrat State, while NFL would be mainly redneck, Republican Bible thumpers combined with a Democratic President and National Legislative branches, nothing is impossible. Especially if the actual state supports it.

Without us South Floridians, you North Florida hicks would be as backasswards as Mississippi. Not that you're that far off now.
South Florida is a tropical paradise and a modern metropolis. Most of the rest of Florida is HeeHaw Heaven, trailer parks and fornicating cousins and confederate flags and rusting F150's.
And btw, isn't your Tampa Bay area suffering traffic gridlock and already 1/4 hispanic? Time for you to move to Valdosta. I'll help you pack your trailer.

I'd think that the Confederate money would be useful in *North* Florida, where the redneck Taliban up in Tallahassee will turn the clock back to 1860, repeal the laws of physics, and declare the world flat.
