Get the ustase mug.Upstate is a term used by people who live in New York City or the surrounding metro area. Long Islanders and some city people consider the Northern suburbs (Westchester, Rockland) to be upstate because they are north of where they are and think thaty for some reasons the cultural and economic ties spread east. Northern suburbs consider anywhere above them to be upstate (mostyl Poughkeepsie and up). Whats funny is that people from "upstate" cities such as Albany, Binghamton, Syracuse, Rochester or Buffalo have no concept of what "upstate is. Albany is the Capital District. Binghamton is the Southern Tier. Syraucse is Central New York. Rochester is near the Finger Lakes and Buffalo is in Western New York. In the end Upstate doesn't really exist and is generally a term used to imply that you live south of the area being discussed.
Everything north of Westchester is upstate (Rockland is west of Westchester bordering New Jersey and the the northern tip of Westchester is above Rockland. So Rockland is not upstate.)

Seriousley... Why are all upstate people considered hicks? I do not know. I live in a town called Lake George which is one of the most heavily toured areas in the state. As well as one of the richest in the state. If upstate New York was a bunch of hicks do you really think that Derek Jeter, or DMX, or Jay-Z would buy lake front mansions? I dont think so. Get a grip.
Upstate New York houses some of the richest people in the country, as well as holds some of the most beautiful scenery and lakes in the country.

Get the Upstate mug.Ustasha, Radical Fascist movements developed in a few Balkan countries most prominently in Croatia, they were obsessed by an extremist spirit of terroristic violence in a strange way of union with religious fanaticism. fascist regime in Croatia set about a policy of "racial purification" that went beyond even Nazi practices. it was declared that one-third of the Serbian population would be deported, one-third converted to Roman Catholicism, and one third exterminated.
the Ustasha, with the support of many croats,embarked upon
what is called "The Purge of Croatia from Forign elemnets," which had as its main purpose the Eliminating the Serb minority. Serbs have more than a valid historical reason not to trust Croat or Muslim "democracy". The Western press carefully avoids to talk about recent history of the region. It denies the Serbs of Croatia and Bosnia the Real Motive for their fear and struggle. This is because it clashes with the claim that, somehow, Serbs of these geographical regions were pushed by Belgrade autocrat Milosevic to "rebel" against "newly born democracies".
