    It doesn't need to be separated ,they just need to designate an area for orange people with pink lip gloss.

    Southern Florida will officially be called "Floricuba" and the flag will be adorned with a cigar and and a dehydrated man on a raft.
    State song: "La Cucaracha"
    State bird: "Middle finger in the air."
    State motto: "Fuck all you mean fucking gringos, motherfucking motherfuckers."
    State promise:"A thief in every home, and 12 children on welfare in every house."
    Next governor: "Elian Gonzales"
    Ad. Slogan: "We put the 'duh' in Florida."
    State car: 57 'Chebby'

    The official language…Spanish…oops, that happened a few years ago. My bad.

    Oh, and I forgot to add that they should probably put Orlando in N Florida if this happens. S Florida will always have Miami (a celebrity hot-spot) and Tampa (Bush Gardens, Adventure Island, etc.) to rake in the cash, but I agree with another poster who said that without Orlando N Florida probably wouldn't be able to sustain itself. Just my 2 cents.

    Re: lil k – That's so stupid. My family has homes in different parts of the state like many floridians and it would be ridiculous to have another state constitution with different insurance and tax guidelines. So because you spent 2 months visiting you feel that the state should be split? Yeah, THAT makes sense.

    is you have ever lived in florida, the you would know that there really is a separation between the north and south. i live in talllahassee and its nothing like south florida it is more like living in south georga!! although i dont know if this would do any good, but then again most of the illegal aliens live in the southern part so i say split it baby

    125

    #55 - During ALL of our 4 hurricanes in the last 4 years in south Florida, we barely required FEMA assistance. We take care of OURSELVES and provide for OURSELVES and help OURSELVES. Hardly anyone relied on FEMA. We don't rely on handouts in Florida. We educate and prepare ourselves before distasters hit. You're obviously uneducated about our state so until you know what you are talking about you should shut up.

    128

    They need to give FLORIDA a class in how to follow RULES. 1st they fucked up the voting and brought in BUSH. NOW the same muthafucka's can't seem to follow DNC rules on when to vote. Maybe instead of bickering about dividing..More time should be spend on teaching these idiots how to follow RULES

    Anyone who actually agrees to this is a complete idiot. Hm, let's see how we could possible waste more tax payers and more government money that we don't have. And all this for what? Politics? Just leave things the way they are. Why mess things further? Don't we have enough things messed up in this country that we need to deal with? Why don't we focus all this time and energy on things that actually matter.

    we should do that in Washington state- hell, the crazy tax and spend liberals in Seattle should just be cut off and made into their own state. Seattle is so dirty, too- the sidewalks are full of trash and cigarette butts and you can see drunks and addicts peeing on the sidewalks. It's gross. And they get most of the money from the state! I think I'll start a petition to free Seattle from Washington. The state of Seattle has a nice ring to it.

    Good, I'm from South Florida and its totally different and waaaayyy better than North Florida. North Florida is basically an extension of Georgia and Alabama anyway, and waayy more conservative and country. South Florida has the cash to handle this seperation, I don't think North Florida can hack it on Panama City trash and NASCAR.

    normally i agree with you perez, however, being a resident of palm beach county, i actually think this makes sense. north and central florida certainly do not bring in the revenue that the south part of the state does, and if this were to actually go through, it would make a huge difference to us. i read the accompanying article and when they accused tallahassee of last year "trying to beat us up and now stealing our lunch money"… i had to smile… and whole-heartedly agree.

    157

    I am from Florida and when I tell people that I am from the deep south and from Florida they look confused. That's because North Florida is just like Georgia. Yeah you can say its a bunch of rednecks, but it is still completely different from southern Florida. South Florida is mostly for people who want to retire and vacationers. North Florida is a place where most people are born and raised with southern traditions, complete with accents.

    Re: Jason – North Florida is where Americans live. South Florida is where carpetbaggers, assorted 'immigrants', and CubaTrash live. It is a repugnant mix down there, much like any common cesspool full of flushed shit and unneeded refuse. Hopefully they can separate and a wall can be built across the state and manned with nukes to stop any further northern migration of that bunch of slimy banditos. Within a year, I guarantee it would look much like Mexico and Cuba….impoverished, ignorant, gibberish-speaking and begging. The only way your valuables are safe down there is to hide them under some soap. yuk.
    South Florida, especially Miami, is like a skunk: Half black, half white and smells like shit.

    I highly doubt this will ever happen.
    If it didn't happen in Cali, it's sure as hell not going to happen here.
    And seriously, what's up with all of these mean comments towards Florida? Sure, Northern Florida is definitely different from Central and South, but everyone up there isn't stupid and/or rednecks. There's white trash everywhere, not just in the South! It's so annoying how prejudice people are sometimes. Showing idiots with two teeth on TV with a piece of straw hanging out of their mouth after an alligator just rampaged their mobile home probably doesn't help that stereotype, but honestly, lay off from the shit-talking. Not everyone is like that down here, believe it or not. Take it from someone who's actually been living there all their life, instead of hearing shit from assholes who know absolutely nothing about Florida.

    South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, Dade and Monroe) provides over 60% of the revenue to the State Gov't but the yeehaws in the Panhandle only allow about 30% back. EVERY legislator in those counties hates how the small, redneck counties rule the state. We need to split - we provide all the $$ but get little to nothing back from the state. Viva South Florida!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: j – Charlie Crist won overwhelmingly in the South too, I live in North Florida and I think it's ridiclous but atleast if they did it we could be considered a Southern state again in North Florida, and all of the Yankees can be in South FLorida.

  69. Franklin says – reply to this


    169

    How about this: Florida gets to seperate, so long as North and South Dakota get to merge into one (seriously, culturally, are these two states really that different nowadays?).

    Or maybe Northern Florida gets annexed into Georgia.

    In recent times, since 2000, I've been wondering if the states should exercise more of their rights as established in the Constitution. It doesn't seem to matter who is in charge of the Federal government — one half of the country is always unhappy and the other seems intent on being unjust towards the other. I'd say if this keeps up, the division (social, cultural, and political) within the USA will grow worse over the next few decades.

    172

    South Florida bears the brunt in taxes and insurance so North Floridians can live a comfy, country life. The three areas of Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and West Palm support the entire state's education system and it's time to give us all a break. With a split, No Florida will be on their own and forced to raise their taxes to where ours are and contribute. The forclosure rate in SoFla is up near 50% dues to taxes and insurance going into the statisphere. A split is great and I'd vote for it hands down. We've had enough!

    ok so i was born and raised in florida! it is a horrible idea…i go to school in the north part of florida and live in the south part. i think if we split up the state it will ruin the uniqueness of the state! we have awesome beaches, coral reefs, and amazing national parks why would you want to make our state change. i am proud of both parts of florida! we would also have less of a voice when election comes…very bad idea!

    Which of us hasn't lived in a state that has had completely different regions? Every single state in America has it's different regions- do you all propose we split up every state? Do the smaller states not count because even though they have different regions they're "too small"? What constitutes a large enough area to be divided into a new state? None of you are thinking this through. Only more problems woud follow.

  78. Homestead says – reply to this


    178

    I live in Homestead, a small town south of Miami. Homestead is very much like northern Florida. It is mostly rural and has that "Deep South" feel to it. It is culturally different from Miami and Broward. To say that all of South Florida is different from North Florida is ridiculous. Although I agree with the split. South Florida is constantly screwed over by the government. It should be based on revenue and politics, not culture. And to the people who make the ethnic about the Hispanic culture in Miami- Go visit the city. It is not the "trash-ridden cesspool" that many make it out to be. It is the most culturally rich and diverse city in the south.

    So where would this leave Tampa? according to the lovely, very accurate picture drawing, it would be included in North Florida. And if that is the case, people bitching about North Florida need to rethink what they are staying, because although there are rural parts surrounding the city, it's as metropolitan as they come.

  92. Brent says – reply to this


    192

    Being from Miami whose sister lived for a short period in the panhandle, there are certainly differences between the two "sides" of Florida. The north is redneck and "southern." The south is metropolitan and fun! But then again, doesn't every state have a good and bad side?

    really?? I grew up in that city and it's pretty small. Hard to believe a small town would be spearheading the campaign.

    While most of you want to call north Florida the land of the "hicks", it is much better than the lower half that is full of incompetent drivers, those who CHOOSE not to speak the ENGLISH language, and illegal immigrants. Florida is FLORIDA it does not need to be renamed, but who in God's name would want to be in south florida anyway, its a horrible place inhabited by nothing but hispanics, snow birds, and rude jews….they can have it, they sure ruined it!
