SUBJECT: Delaware bashing.

Some thoughts and responses on what you thought about our polite little state.

First off if you don't like the state then leave. We would much rather get rid of people like you in the first place.

Next we were the first to sign the Constitution because the deciding vote for the Declaration of Independence was signed by great Delawarean named Caesar Rodney who although being near death rode 60 miles on horse back non-stop from Dover to Philadelphia to cast the deciding vote. It was an honor bestowed by the 2nd Continental Congress on the Delaware delegation because of this commitment to freedom from British tyranny. Otherwise you may be hearing the U.K. anthem at rugby games now.

And lastly this may come as a shock to you but DOVER IS THE CAPITAL OF DELAWARE! NOT WILMINGTON. This ignorance on your part suggest one of two things on your part. The first being you never ventured south past the New Castle County( The northern most county by the way) and saw the rest of our beautiful state. I would venture you didn't get far off of Interstate 95 if at all. The last thing is that you don't really know anything at all about the state of Delaware and that you are a misguided web publisher who doesn't have all the facts in which he is openly displaying on a web site. You obviously have no problem displaying profanity in the context of your journalism which suggest a weak mind and character. Ones use of repeated profanity suggested more so your ignorance on your subject matter and that you possess limited reasoning skills or imitative to even get your facts straight.

Just some thoughts on what this Pulitzer Prize( an award on journalism) winning piece and what it says about you sir.

Brian Watts,

Dear retard,

Thank you for reading my site. The fact that you picked up on the spelling errors and I curse entirely to much means that you have finally finished the fourth grade. Be proud, you are now as smart as the President. Clearly the education system in Delaware is up to national standards.

You bring up an interesting, yet very over used expression. If I don’t like Delaware I should just leave. Guess what? I did. I don’t know what the custom is down in Delaware, but for the rest of the world, when you refer to a place as “The closest thing to hell I have ever been to, ever,” you normally aren’t swooning and writing the lass a love letter.

What does “Deciding vote” mean in your eyes? I think that the entire point of being a Democracy is that every vote matters the same. The “great Delawarean [his name is implied here, so you don’t have to point it out to us] Caesar Rodney” didn’t get extra because he traveled the farthest none stop, or because he was the last to get there. If he was so great, why the hell didn’t he leave earlier, so he could have taken his time getting there? Mainly the only reason I can think of is because no one wanted a dumbass from Delaware at their gathering, so they tried to tell him to late for him to show up.

Sorry for that comment about Wilmington being the state capital. I just saw that it was the largest city in the state and naturally assumed that was the capital. A common mistake. It is like when everyone else from the rest of the world thinks that New York City is the capital of New York State. Also, I blame Bucko.

You are right, fucksaw, I did not see all of your state. Guess what, I have lived in New York and there are still huge sections of the state that I have never seen, nor will I ever see. Know what else? Your state sucks. If I didn’t like what I saw when I drove through it, chances are that I’m not going to like what I see when I try to go around and explore it.

Thanks for not arguing the point that you state is, in fact, hell.
