If you've read my article "
5 More of The Worst Cities In The US",
you know that I hate the State of Florida with every cell in my
body. You also know that I think of Miami as some sort of post-
apocalyptic, empty-headed, Cuba-obsessed, no English-speaking,
crime and drug-ridden, shitty school-having, traffic choked,
annoying, rude-ass hellhole. Psychologically speaking, I don't
consider this dump to even be part of the United States
anymore. How bad does a city have to be to make you root for
Fidel Castro?
Well, I am far from alone in my thinking on this issue, as
evidenced by the multitude of anti-Miami opinions on the
internet. I recently stumbled across a page selling a "Miami
Sucks" t-shirt, and it has a user comments section. What
a gold mine of Miami-ragging! I've pasted below some of
my favorite comments:
HateMiami:
You're led to believe that Miami is some sort of
tropical paradise,full of beautiful beaches, great
nightlife, great women and that Miami is simply
bubbling with culture. Sure, it has palm trees
and the nightlife is great, if you're prepared
to shell out well over $200 to go to one of the
clubs on South Beach. Miami is no paradise though -
in fact, it's about as far from being a "paradise"
as you can get. You'd think that with the tropical
climate, people would have beautiful and lush
gardens, but in reality, people here tear down
trees and plants and replace them with asphalt
and concrete. Miami is no paradise - it has
become a third world banana republic that broke
away from the United States a long time ago.

I am a high school English teacher in Miami. I
must say, I totally agree with hatemiami. I have
been living in Miami for seven years, and never
in my life have i met such rude, uneducated,
ignorant people. I am desperate to get out. I
plan on doing so sometime next year, in fact.
I could probably write a book on how disgusting
MOST of Miamians are...however, I would
probably kill myself in the process. My
students are flat-out lazy, whiny idiots...
who have learned their uncouth behaviors
from their lazy, whiny, idiot parents.

For the most part I agree. Miami has been
hurt as much as it has been helped by the
drug trade. In the 80's when the feds
stopped the drugs from flowing in like
they were, Miami went into a serious economic
downturn. A main good point about this
city is also a huge bad point...
Cultural Diversity. Everyone here is
ethno-centric and hating on the next man.
it creates this "crabs in a barrel"
thought process. There are view people
here who take on the idenity of this
region. Everyone is from someplace else.
The question "Where are you from?" here
has a completely different meaning. I
have lived in Miami and in Fort Lauderdale
and I would say to the the Northern
person looking to move down south to
move to Fort Lauderdale. it has the good
things about MIami with less of the bad.
Oh... and when you Newyorkers
come here to live STOP TALKING ABOUT
NEW YORK!! I could give a s***!!
And the presumably satirical comment that sums it all up:
The Situation says:

you been watchin my show too much. i know u want
to be like me Mike The Situation Sorenntino but
