Even as a proud native of Pennsylvania, where people tend to look down on New Jersey, I think associating Nulji with the Garden State is invidiously unfair.

In this region, Sperwer is correct on upstate apllying only to New York. New Jersey is measured by “what exit”?

“upstate” new jersey, michael? I never heard it called that.

I’m from nowhere near there, but I have heard “upstate New Jersey” or “upstate Jersey” said before. Maybe on the news.

“Upstate” isn’t used just for New York, though it’s probably most commonly used with New York in mind.

Same with “tri-state.” I used to live in the part of Minnesota where “the tri-state area” referred to parts of Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The local Big-three network affiliates referred to their stations “serving the tri-state area.” But when a New Yorker friend heard me say this, he was adamant that I was “wrong, wrong, wrong. ‘Tri-state area’ is only used to refer to the area around New York City.”

Geez, you’d think New Yorkers owned the language or something and the rest of us are just renting it out.

“upstate” new jersey, michael? I never heard it called that. Garden of toxic wastes maybe, but not upstate. I lived for awhile in the southern half of the dump.

Heres how lame the prosecuters office is. Sexual predators are given light sentences, no jail time as it will interfere with their livelihood. Check out the story at lost nomand.

Also, Slim, the S.K. prosecutors’ jurisdiction doesn’t extend to grown men who live with their mothers in upstate New Jersey.

No, Slim, as stupid as Nulji and Lux are, I don’t think I’ve ever read anything they’ve written that I’d call a threat on someone’s life. By threat I mean threat of violence or death.

Does that mean that when luxbearer and nulji go beyond their normal mere idiocy into malice, legal action can be taken against them?
