Proof that while Long Island isn't perfect, but it (along with almost every state in this great union) superior to New Jersey.

Hey everyone,

Look here, someone today was trying to tell me that NJ was kind of cool. I don't buy it. Do not be confused by New Jerseyans who try to make you believe it is better than some awesome place like Long Island. Here is proof!

First, Taking Back Sunday is NOT, I repeat NOT from NJ. They are Amityville's own crappy Emo/Pop band!
"Taking Back Sunday is an American rock band from Amityville, Long Island, New York, formed in 1999."

Here are just a few famous residents of Long Island. We pretty much rock.

Born in Nassau or Suffolk
Judd Apatow
Alec Baldwin
Daniel Baldwin
Stephen Baldwin
William Baldwin
Steve Buscemi
Mariah Carey
LL Cool J
Billy Crystal
Rodney Dangerfield
Flavor Flav
Kevin James
Joan Jett
Michael Kors
Dee Snyder
Howard Stern
Walt Whitman
Danny Masterson (Hyde from the 70's Show)
Christopher Masterson (Francis from Malcom in the Middle)
Bill O'Reilly (WHO IS COOL! Colbert loves him!)
Brand New
Billy Joel (He alone is enough to end this debate)

(This only counts people born on Long Island, and it excludes Queens and Brooklyn. If you want to start the war of people that chose to live on Long Island over New Jersey I would advise against it, you will be beaten.)

Born in New Jersey
Aaron Burr, American politician and war hero. (Who murdered Alexander Hamilton!)
Jon Bon Jovi, musician. (Who stinks!)
Allen Ginsberg, poet.
Bruce Springsteen, musician.(Who is less then Billy Joel)
Whitney Houston, entertainer. (Okay she is pretty cool)
David Copperfield, magician.
Zach Braff. Medical Doctor

This debate is being based on residents because that was the context of today's conversation. However if there is heat and this wants to be expanded, I will go there, I will start that war. Politically, environmentally, socially, cleanliness, E.T.C... Long Island wins out!


(Source: Wikipedia, which, because it is based on user submissions, means people from New Jersey are too lame to add Zach Braff to their list of famous residents on the New Jersey page.)
