    i think the blame can be a bit more equally distrubuted

    I would tell you not to talk about things of which you know nothing, but then, you probably wouldn't get to say anything at all.

    It's not just the fault of government corruption, true, a great deal of blame can be placed at the doorstep of stupid, ignorant, bigoted, insulated, overfed and underread yahoos who take comfort in writing off huge segments of the human race in accordance with their own room temperature IQs. Sweet smelling suburbanites sitting around the ol' rec room talking about how lazy and perverted "those" people are, while they try to figure out how they can phony up their unemployment applications...ah, George Bush's America! The smell of it!

    lol..are you kidding me? Yeah, people sell crack b/c the gov't won't take care of them and it's all W's fault. There was no crime and drug dealing in 1999.

    Good Lord.....play the victim much? :rolleyes: Oh and..I know I know..I'm just too dumb to understand. I've obviously never talked to anyone in the world other than rich, white, surbanites. Just thought I'd save you the effort.

    I'm off to go look at my HUGE 401k and piss on a poor person. Have a good one. Unless you're not rich....then the hell with you. :rolleyes:

    Best places to stay are Philly or the aforementioned NJ communities in Camden County. I like the Camden waterfront aside from the S-Center ; nice NJ State Aquarium, Battleship NJ, Campbell Field for minor league ball, and pretty plentiful parking, but not developed for tourists elsewhere in Camden city.

    I have found a cheap safehouse to stay for the two camden shows. Could some locals please tell me if this is an OK place to crash? I couldnt believe the rate that I got .

    My friend lives in Collingswood (town next to Camden), and she just got married. Two weeks ago, she woke up around 8am to start the cars for her and her husband because it was a chilly morning. She walks outside at 8:15 and BOTH are gone! And this was the town NEXT to Camden.

    I'm from Jersey and live in Philly, now. Stay in Philly, hang out in Old City, then take the ferry over - it'll be loaded with PJ fans and it'll be fun.

    are you kidding me? Because Collingswood is next to Camden, it HAD TO BE SOMEONE FROM CAMDEN that stole their cars. That is the most ignorant statement I have ever heard.

    I happen to go to Camden every day and you people have no clue. As a matter of fact, I will be there in about an hour to go see my mom in the hospital. And I'm not in the least bit worried about it.

    I live in Haddon Twp., NJ which is next to Cherry Hill, NJ and work in Center City Philly. For convenience, I would recommend staying at the Crowne Plaza or Holiday Inn on Route 70 in Cherry Hill. Both hotels are a few short miles from the S-Center and extremely easy to find/drive to. Very nice area with alot of restaurants and shopping right there. By far the best place to stay other than Philly and easily the most convenient if driving to the show, which I would also recommend due to the out of control tailgating...if, like me, you enjoy the pre-game almost as much as the show.

    Can't we all just get along................Agree to disagree?? I hope I didn't start all this....Listen, I would simply caution anyone who's not from the area that Camden is a hot-bed for street crime, and to be vigilant of that FACT! I'm sure visually....Camden has some nice areas as well! So does Newark, so does philly, so does Trenton, so does parts of NYC and DC, but unfortunately they all have pockets of poverty & street crime. It's just a fact! And there are many reasons for it (You can highlight the blame in many directions)

    I'm from Jersey, born and raised, and I would always be the first to defend it!

    How may times have I heard that joke......"hey, your from Jersey..... what exit??"

    Yes, I'm from Jersey, but I'm not anywhere near the Jersey Turnpike (route 95) or the Parkway.....stupid!

    Any true New Jerseyan, actually embraces the diversity of their state!! Now I'm gonna go listen to Pearl Jam! (My head hurts!!)
