Don't worry, my kind is not in YOUR region. I am in the New York City
region buddy. NYC is all around me. New England is all around you and no
where near me. I do see that you people up in New England love to cruise
through our state on your way to the city.

are not a part of your bullshit region, we are in the NYC area. Get it

I know it may be shocking to you since think they we are down with Boston,
but we are down with NYC. Why would we be down with Boston? It is not in
OUR area. It took me a good 3 hours to get there! Not a place I want to go
to on the regular. NYC is in our area and we can go there for lunch of an
event and get back as if we lived around the way - which we do! That is why
we can do that. Boston is a nice city, but you guys need to understand that
YOU are New England and we are the Tri-state. Spread the word and stop
ASSuming things about areas that you do not know about.

That is an idiotic analogy. Don't speak on an area that you do not live in.

You have ignorance if you believe other than what has been presented to you.

what, the *reality* that connecticut is part of new england by every

Not too stupid if I am living here and I am telling you this. Sure, CT is
regarded as a so-called New England state by New England and state west of
Pennsylvania, but that does not mean that we sound like, think like, rally
around Boston like, are in the Boston metro area like, are in driving range
of, love Boston sports like, all hail Boston because there is no other major
city around like New England does. We are in the NYC area. I gave your
monkey ass the proof, not to mention geography, so that is that. We are New
York oriented for good reason. We know nothing of New England or what they
are about , except that they keep trying to push their culture onto us in
order to prey us away from the city that we are right next to. Boston is no
where near us, so why bother Boston?
Fred Burton
New England does NOT automatically equate to Boston.
The undeniable FACT is the Connecticut***IS*** a part of New England.
(sarcasm mode on at 100%)
If the people of SW CT have their panties in such a bunch that they cringe
at
being called a part of a NE, then perhaps they should secede from CT and
petition to join NY state, so that they can forevermore be out from under
the terrible oppression of being refered to as a part of New England.

How do you figure it is just the SW part of our state? I was watching the
news (CT) and they showed something going on in South Windsor (wherever that
is) and they showed a guy with a Mets hat and jersey. Besides, South
central CT or just anywhere on the NYC (not Boston or New England) METRO (as
in the area of a city)-North lines are and their respective counties. Are
you New Englanders aware that we actually have NYC MTA police on platrol in
our state permenatly? I know you are not. Does this sound like a New
England thing to you? Is Boston around here? How about RI, NH, VT, ME or
even MA? Nope! Only one part of CT borders MA and guess what? It's up by
Hartford. Not down here in the livest part of the state.

If we could, we would. We do it in a cultural way anyway. We are sepaerate
in spirit. The cable comapny is the same as NY and NJ. The ONLY thing that
has happend regarding New England is that this NECN channel (which no one
watches are has ever heard of) seems to have forced it's way on our cable
system or maybe it paid for it's spot. All it seems to be is Boston
propaganda and a slick way for Boston to appear more important than it is.
Maybe it is up in New England since it is the only major city and the only
city of any kind out there, but here in CT - the NYC area, nope! They ahve
a nerver to trick you people into thinking that Boston revolves around us
and that we have Boston or New England on our minds. Not down here buddy.
and
> petition to join NY state,
No need to join NY state since we are right next door. Maybe our own state
would be nice. That way those damn car taxes would be gone. The state
would look like RI is Fairfield left. Our cable company did try to take off
the CT news channels since they have a Hartford perspective on the news.
The CT stations protested, even though we are in the NYC TV market, not the
Hartford one. That is another thing that makes us in the NYC area - the TV
market. You cannot deny that!
so that they can forevermore be out from under
> the terrible oppression of being refered to as a part of New England.

Oh yes. It is such an unrelenting arrogance from Boston/New England. We
have no chains in out minds and in geography, but we need to break them with
you people. The Yankees/Mets is where it's at for us - never Boston.
Like I wrote, I ride through Boston with Yankees/Mets gear on!
Fred Burton
CT is a part of New England. Deal with it.
And BTW, you DO have your own chains on your minds since you cannot tell the
difference between NE and Boston.
Besides, I find it immensely ironic hearing someone from the general NYC
area
calling Boston/New England "arrogant". I went to college at, shall we say,
an
upstate NY university and the most arrogant people there BY FAR were the
NYC folks. BY FAR! They were at least 10 times more arrogant than anyone
else I ran into from any other part of the US or the world. Just about
every single
one of those bozos thought that there were two parts to the world, NYC and
everywhere else.
Mind you, there were only people from NYC itself and its close-in burbs.
The
people I encountered from further outside NYC (like Suffolk County, LI,
etc.)
were a lot more normal. But those NYC people were the most unbelievably
arrogant pricks I've ever encountered in my life, then and since.

who's saying you are? or that any other part of new england is? you're
only making that specious argument as a strawman to try to distance
yourself from boston. nobody else in new england identifies strongly
with boston either.

indeed, why bother? why bother posting at all on this ng unless you're
a pathetic little troll trying to project *his own* arrogance about
geographical designations (arrogance because you are denying a simple
*fact* that ct is a part of new england - which believe me, given the
fact you live there, many people from every other part of new england
wish it wasn't, because they have to be affiliated with you). you're
the one picking the argument - obviously, you know you don't have a
leg to stand on.

Below you say that NYC people are arrogant? YOU are trying to tell me, a CT

New Englanders are different from us. You are New England and we are in the
NYC area. You people even sound alike and nothing like us. We speak a

Look above for the Boston arrogance, but NYC people are cocky because the
city is the number one focus in America. Even powerful cities like Chicago,
D.C., Los Angeles and Houston pale in comparison, so they are understanbly
cocky. It is the same effect that you as an American feel towards the rest
of the word. NYC is #1 in the US and the US is #1 in the world. It kind of
works that way. When the British ruled the world (they still kind of do if
you check their bases and territories), they were VERY cocky. The US more
or less asserts itself as the world leader (self-proclaimed of course) and
they are very cocky. You know, "the most powerful country on earth." "The
world's only superpower." "The best this and that every time they speak."
Now you people in Boston are cocky because you think that New England mean
Boston and MA. You think that any state with a slight New England label
should or does automatically think like you do or as New England does. When
it takes me 3 hours to get to your city of Boston, how can you expect us to
see you as one of us? It takes me at least an hour and a half to reach RI
or MA borders. AT LEAST. People in Hartford are down with MA and New
England, so spread your New England propaganda to them where they may love
it.
As I was checking out Bunker Hill, I thought "this place is small, and it is
funny how they call this place NEW England, but they revolted against them."
Strange. When I was there(it is a nice town I will admit), I thought that I
was in New England, but here in CT I do not feel like a New Englander, we
don't call ourselves that and I don't want to be that. When in CT, I feel
like what I am - in the NY/NJ/CT TRI-STATE AREA. Respect it New Englanders!
Guest
Yes they do! WHen I was coming back from Canada, I stopped in Vermont to
get gas. I have my Yankees plate on my car and people walking around there
had on Red Sox(Boston) gear. They looked at me like I was an alien AND I
saw them looking at my Yankees plate with CT tags. Don't tell me they are
not about Boston. It is the only city in New England that is major and with
sports teams. That Boston propagand cable station NECN backs up the Boston
is New England thing all of the time. It claims to be about NE, but all I
see is Boston and MA 99% of the time. I only watch to see the arrogance as
they keep trying to force us into their region even if we don't want it.
The have the NEVER to report New Haven and Bridgeport weather like we watch
them for our weather. YOUR weather is not like ours. OURS is like the rest
of our Tri-state area. This is yet another reason that we are not in your
area. History is history. It is gone. New England was a title in European
colonial times, but now only survives as a means of Boston to attempt to get
a "New England metro" area. Sorry, but CT is already in the NYC area.

Watching NECN, YOU people must need us. We certainly don't need you. I
even called that channel on one of their live programs and I said "how are
you people up in New England doing today?" The guy (the crazy looking guy
with the white hair) arrogantly replied:"you are in New England too." I of
course replied, "you are wrong, I am in the NYC area my man." I will keep
calling until you clowns get it.
CT is like a fine woman. NYC has her, but Boston wants her and still thinks
that she is his. Boston just does not realize that he is not on her (CT)
mind. Give up and concentrate on your other girlfriends(ME,VT,NH,RI).
>
> Pitiful excuse for a state anyway.
Huh? It's the richest in the nation. I would hardly cal that pitiful. I
would call a small city that is over 3 hours away trying to claim as US
state as their territory when that state does not want them pitiful.
How are their sports franchises doing?
Ths CT Sun (Boston does not have a WNBA team) is always doing well. The
Yankees (you already know), Mets, Rangers, Devils, Nets and Giants are doing
very well. The Knicks...? See, like those NE states who see Boston teams
as theirs, we in the Tri-state have the NYC teams as ours. Why do you think
the Sun keep playing the Liberty so much, even in exhibitions?
> Sports aside...what do they have to be proud of?
Wealth, Yale, presidents, respect, PT Barnum, celebrities who live
here(unlike MA, except for those who are from there), MOVIES get made here,
when people get enough money they move here to show that they are at the
highest level, the list goes on. See, we don't have a nationaly famous city
because we don't have one with sports teams, but we are in the New York
Metro region so those are our teams. It is similar to you people in New
England. Those state around Boston go for those teams. Repsect us. If you
people even come dow here into the Bronx to see your team battle ours, look
at the ads dude. You will see "Tri-state" this and that. You may even see
NY/NJ/CT ads. Listen to the NYC stations when you get into this region.
They always say the same thing. Stop being jealous.
Oh yeah...it's a
> relatively short ride to NY. Whoopdee-freaking-doo!
When it is America's premier city, it is a BIG deal! People from all over
the world come to see NYC and people from all over the country come to live.
Even people from large cities like Chicago and LA feel the need to move to
NYC. You don't see that happening with Boston, unless they are athletes.

Yes, they do. Not as much as NJ (NJ does not have their own stations,

love. I think we should get more, but this state has it's own stations
also, even if they are mainly up in the Hartford area.

100% of the time. NY/NJ/CT weather is the same 99% of the time. CT and New

I live in CT, which is in the Tri-state area region of NYC( maybe the
norhtern and eastern part may be New England), which is in the United States
of America. There is no New England on any map.
if you don't like it, move.
I don't like it but I don't have to move since I am in the NYC region. I
just went there again today. When we corss the border, it just does not
seem like we crossed the border.
> please. do us all a favor. nobody in new england likes you being there

The last time I was there was about two or three weeks ago when I went to
Boston. Maybe I will try and get up there again and rep NYC/Tri-state even
harder next time. I saw that NJ was in the house up there also. One drive
from CT(mainly my part, the 203) and you will see the distance. It is too
far to even consider it being in my area.
we say that you live there with a great deal of sadness.

Well, we ARE speaking English and drinking tea! The irony of it all is, the
US fights to maintain British culture and power in the world. They even
fight their battles for them! Talk about a revolution!

What is the beef here?
The terms 'New England' and 'Tri State' are apples and oranges. CT
can be both, which it is.

Oh? Where is a map of the US that has New England written on it? Not a NE
centered regional map or so local maps, but a general map of the US.
sorry. you can

It is only crap to you faggot New England fudnamentalists. You people are
just mad because we are not a part of your area and we do not think as you
do. Respect people and state's differences.
all you want, but show me where
> living in one region precludes being counted as part of another.
New England is a historical region ONLY because it is land they took because
the rest of the northeast was occupied by the Dutch! CT was Dutch you know,
so even then, NE does not count. NE only shows that the British seized the
land and declared it New England. Once that was set, they moved into nearby
land and it was called New YORK and another called New JERSEY - all after
England! The difference is, NY and NJ are states while NE is not. It was
once or at various times one whole or a confederacy, but it no longer holds
any meaning. At least it should not after the alleged revolution.
I understand how Boston feels the need to be the de facto capital/leader of
this NE since they were the first along with MA, but that is for up in that
area, not CT. When you guys speak, we need you to repeat yourselves in
order to get it right.
any
> reference will be fine.
I already gave you plenty to show that we are in the Tri-state area. Who
gives a fuck about New England? You people live there so be happy.
otherwise, you *live* in new england,
My license says CT. My country is the USA. I have never heard of this
state or country named NE. I cannot ever recall paying a NE tax or getting
one of your TV, radio, newspapers, commuter rails or even seeing signs that
point to a NE or even one of those states! In the 203 part of CT, our signs
point to "NY City" and other CT towns only. Once you get into the part of
the state that is ok with that NE name (like 'up north' in the Hartford
areas), then you do no see signs(many anyway) that point towards NYC, but
you see many that point toward Boston and other MA towns. Again, respect my
area!
and
> always will as long as you live in connecticut.
CT is it's own state with nothing coming from Boston. We are richer than
you, so how do you think you can control us? You New Englanders keep to
yourselves and your own little isolated sub-country of the US.

That makes sense, but these New England fundamentalists want our whole
state. They have the north and east (in general), but leave the south and
west alone and accept our NYC styles and allegiances. I guess CT is similar
to NJ. It is stuck between NYC and Philly. In a sense, NYC almost wants to
claim most of NJ and leave Philly with so much of it. When people mention
NJ, many automatically mention NYC also. There are people in southern NJ
who do not like this and are fully down with Philly. Even NYC media treads
on Philly's NJ reporting areas a lot.
CT is the same. You have lame New England and it's far away city of Boston
who keeps trying to create the idea of a common culture and region that
includes CT all the way to Greenwich. You have CT (southern and western. I
would say diagonally from Litchfield to New Haven or maybe a few towns past
East Haven) who feel that they relate to NYC, ARE part of the metro region
of that city, are on the METRO-North line to get in and out of that city,
get their TV, radio, papers and ferries. Then you have the northern and
eastern (in general, but many feel that they are with NYC also up there!)
parts of the state who are more New England(as in Boston sports) oriented.
The foolishness of that is that unlike CT as mentioned above, none of CT is
in a Boston metro area and it does not get all of the above to back up being
in that area. This is why the people of the north are fools. Beings fans
of sports teams of a city that they are no where near. On the other hand,
we are not only near NYC but we are a PART of the METRO region of that city!
THAT is the key thing that you New Englanders fail to realize.
So the pass-through (yes I said it) and sub-urban states of CT and NJ are
torn between two regions each. Both are in the NYC region, and other parts
of the states are claimed by Philly and New England/Boston. Now unlike NJ
and Philly, the non-NYC part of CT DOES NOT border or is close enough to
Boston to be in the metro area and have a legit argument for claiming CT.
If Boston were closer to CT, then even a person like me would not anything
to say about New England/Boston. I guess I don't like the assumptions made
when you say CT and NE.
The assumptions are, people ASSUme that we are down with Boston, hail it as
a de facto capital and love their sports teams as if it were ours. People
may also assume that when Boston says they hate NYC, the same goes for us.
New England assumes that were can go any where in those states like is a
short ride! It also assumes that we feel like you people feel - NE is a
separate place from NYS and the USA! It assumes that we have things in
common. It assumes that out weather, culture, interests and heritage is the
same when is is absolutely not!

Well I have shown you plenty that shoe us as being in the NYC area and NOT
New England, so that is it.
How about YOU showing me how I live in New England if I live in CT? Who is
the governor of New England? Where is the New England plate at? You do not

We do live in another region - it's called the Northeastern United States.
Being in the northeast and in the US is all that CT has in common with those

I do. I started this thread saying that I thought that the New England
capital of Boston was not too bad of a town. I wrote that Providence has
good gas prices. I showed respect my man. You are your NE arrogance
refuse, despite tons of proof EVEN form the world famous and throughly
respected NY Times, but you still refuse to accept what is.
I have also noticed a lot more MA, RI and NH plates down here in the 203
where they used to be very rare. I would not doubt if you guys put out an
order to come to CT to "New Englandize" us. I know that would sound crazy,
but with a channel like NECN, it shows the reality and pathology of you
people.

I don't like it and it is not. You NE clowns can keep building BS
businesses with the words "NEW ENGLAND" so larger that you cannot see a
business name, let alone know what they do, and you can keep putting you
propaganda on our cables systems via paid advertising on cable, but it does
not change where we are and who we are.

Then why the defense of Boston/New England? Why not accept CT as not being
a part of your area, which we are not?
>

I really did not have to argue hard, my point was well made. I see that you
clowns still refused to comment on the NY Times Tri-state region. They do
have a CT section you know. So please, until you can find a source more
trustworthy than the Times, don't even try to argue against me.
CT is a part of New England.
What is this - New Engand? CT is a state in the USA. That is it - period.
CT is near NYC and is in it's metro region. These are PROVEN facts. This
NE thing only exists from a historical point of view and from the view of
Boston and it's lackey states closer to that city.
For us in CT, Boston is small time. The nerver of a small time city trying
to put us in their area. We are in the NYC area which is big time, like or
wealth.
Guest sounds
> like someone from Virginia or Tennessee trying to argue that their

Hell, VA is the furthest south I have been and when I tell people that they
say that VA is not the south or that it is not the 'real' south.' So you
could say, as NE Patriots owner Robert Kraft said: "CT is not the REAL New
England." I agree with him. That line alone goes to show that he knows
that CT is with NYC and not NE. I was making a point, so let's no rehash
the Hartford/Patriots thing.
Your argument is also like Sudan being a middle-eastern country by arabs,
but being an African country by others who do not know that it is in the
Arab League. However, it is both an African country and an Arabic one.
Respect our NY/NJ/CT region please stop your NE propaganda to our state. Do
you need us 'that' badly?

Because "New England" is a historical region of the United States and some

No, your point is NOT well made, and it's you who is the "clown".
And for the record, *I* do not find the Times to be a trustworthy source

You sound like some petulant child who refuses to eat his veggies. Part
of CT can be a part of the NYC metro area at the same time as CT is
(and it *IS*, not matter how much you stamp your feet and complain
about it) a part of New England.
"What is New England?"
Stop being a moron. You know DAMNED WELL what New England is.

"History" being the key! It WAS something to speak of, now it is
meaningless here in CT. It only means something to Boston in order to
appear to have a larger market like NYC has CT and NJ. Like CHicago has
Indiana and Wisconsin. Like Philly has south Jersey, DE, MD and sometimes
DC. Boston wants something similar. New England is the key to getting it
along with the self-serving NECN channel whichs has nothing to do with us.
We are not in the Boston area and never will be. The only way that you
people try to claim us if through this New England BS. I will tell you,
there is NO NE mindset down here. Ask anyone (native) who, what or where
New England is and they will all point to some place other than CT. This is
fact. Like it or not, it is the way it is. Your assertions of calling us
New England(which is to assume that we are like you), forcing this NECN on
our cable systems, probably paying people to come down here, assuming that
we are with you, it will never change the fact that you are in a different
geographical region than we are. Most of NE centers around Boston or is
closer to that part of MA, but we are no where near there and we could care
less. We don't like your teams. We don't like the Kennedy's. We don't
like green. We cannot understand you when you speak, which goes to show
that we are nothing alike. Our weather is not the same. Most importantly,
WE (the people of CT, 203) do not feel or view ourselves as New Englanders
or from such a perspective. No matter what, you cannot change that FACT.
You can keep moving down here, but all you will do is join us as opposed to
your master plan in trying to "New Englandlize" us.

Shit, the whole nations loves NYC. Even Boston loves NYC. This is why you
hype up the so-caled rivalry with the Yanks. You want that NYC connection
and fame. In doing so, you try to speak for CT and make it appear as if we
are with you when we are with NYC.

How can a man who is teaching, be ignorant? The only ignorant people are
those who refuse to accept that CT is not the same as New England. That is
your concept. Unlike you, we do not hail Boston as some Mecca since it is
so small. You are ignorant for assuming that we are with you. Only
European colonial history has us with you. Even then, the 203 part of CT
was always with NY as a great deal of Long Island was once New Haven's.

Wel you are one in 5. I guess you take the Boston Globe as a more reliabl
source? I have never read that paper as we are not in that area. We get
NYC papers my friend. They did try to telemarket me once and I told them
that we are not in Boston, we are in the NYC area, so why are you calling
us? I told them that they need to peddle their paper in their market and
stay out of ours. I find odd that you people keep trying to force
yourselves on us. Try forcing yourselves on New York State, east of the
Hudson. You may have better luck since a lot of places there seem to think
of themselves as New England. Now THAT is fact. So leave us alone and go
have them join your US seperatist movement. We are Americans, not New
ENGLANDers.

Ok. To shut you up. My part of CT (western and southern) is the NYC area,
and the rest of the state you can have as it is the corniest part anyway.
When I say CT, I am really speaking for my part of the state, not the whole.
They can speak for themselves.

I would say that they can say what they want to and be right. Just becuase
YOU say they are south, it does not mean that it has to be. Although
historicaly, it it has been viewed that way.

Actually they are not. What I crave is for the words New England and it's

The difference is, you people are all into this New England thing, but I am
telling you that it does not exist down here and you act as if it is a real
area or an actual state or something. If you cannot find it on a map, it
does not exist. While you cannot see the words "Tri-state" on a map, you
can see the three states (NY/NJ/CT) meeting in their local region on a map.
THAT is real. The NYC oriented culture is real. The geography and media is
real. There is no New England down here.
Now take this(http://stormvilleairportfleamarket.com/) and read the 2nd
paragraph. They are al in with New England. Why deny them? When you look
at the history of NYS east of the Hudson (when Vermont was New York
especially), it makes sense. See, now you can go and claim parts of NYS!

"Interesting": um, no - hard to argue for that!
What's "funny" is that I was going to suggest to "Guest" that he and you

Now take this you numb little twit.
Looks like your state government does not agree with you.
The Land
Connecticut is New England’s second smallest and southernmost state. Its
5,009 square miles (13,023 square kilometers) are bordered by New York
State on the west, Rhode Island on the east, Massachusetts on the north
and by Long Island sound on the south.
The southerly flow of the Connecticut River divides the state roughly in
half. The coastal plain and central valley are relatively flat; they
contain most of the larger cities. Other parts of the state are hilly,
with the highest altitudes in the northwest corner. Hills are largely
covered with hardwood forests, and about two-thirds of the state is in
open land.
Despite New England’s reputation for a rugged climate, Connecticut’s
weather is relatively mild. On the average, there are only 12 days a
year when the temperature goes above 90 degrees, and about six days when
it falls to zero or below. The growing season is fairly long, with the
first killing frost generally in mid-October and the last in mid-April.
This, together with moderate rainfall, provides good growing conditions.
Despite Connecticut’s small size, there is some variety in climate, with
temperatures in the northern hills as much as 10 degrees lower than
those in the central valley year-round.
This is from the official state of CT web site.

You only have New England on your mind, but I am sure that you did not miss
the Tri-state part. I guess you love NYC so much that you want CT to be the
NYC area part of New England? No! We do not represent NE, we represent CT.
Only those (excluding MA) states with nothing going on must have that NE
title.
