First of all, Long Island is not a penninsula. It is an island. Hence the name Long ISLAND. Secondly, I live on Long Island, in a prodominantly white suburb in Nassau to be specific and I have never heard anyone say that they live in "the city" if they live here. When most of us act "ghetto" we are basicaly mocking you all. We aren't "upstate". We're Long Island. It's a totally differnt portion of New York. Not all of us are rich snobs. Of course there are the select few who are, but around here, that's a minority. I'm middle class along with most of my town. However, two towns over is ridiculously wealthy and one town north is a bit, shall we say, poor. Being from upstate is not a bad thing. It's just got a different feel to it than from being on Long Island. Just like Long Island is significantly different from the city. And honestly, everyone that insults us Long Islanders is not necessarily jealous or wrong. We tend to be arrogant sons of bitches that think we're better than everyone else. But you all aren't completely right either. I've noticed that not many of you who have posted on here have looked at all the sides and are mostly ignorant assholes. But that's okay. If it works for you..have fun. Just don't expect to get anywhere in life. Oh and another thing. The whole "Yo, motherfuckaas from Long Island couln't last 2 days in Brooklyn!". Okay, we probably couldn't. But then again, I don't know why you're so proud that you can. Personally, I would not be bragging about how I live in a poor neighborhood with a high crime rate....
Altogether, I love Long Island and I'm really proud to live here. I plan on moving out of NY for college but hopefully I'll have enough money to come back here to raise a family. It's really for the most part a great place. Most people are nice and friendly. I love being from the South Shore and I <3 my Long Island accent. (I've been told on numerous occasions that my accent is exactly what is expected of LI people.) Oh but beware, there are 500,000,000 7-11's and McDonald's. And Sunrise Highway in Wantagh, Seaford, Massapeaqua, is covered in car dealerships.
And I hope you all will just stop insulting eachother and repeating the same pathetic opinions. If you're going to post something, make it something new and somewhat intelligent. Thanks. =

You Know You're From Long Island When...
No word ends in an ER, just an AH.
Oh, your parents are from Brooklyn? So are mine!

A person who is from Long Island (usually from either Nassau or Suffolk). We do not think we're from the city, and never claim to be from there. We're not all homosexual either, I personally only know 2 homosexuals thank you very much. Some say we're stuck up, and we can be. We aren't from upstate so whoever thinks that is a fucking idiot. Oh, we curse a lot. Long Islanders have nothing to do at night because the nightlife is actually DEAD. We don't go to the city that often even though it's so damn close. We go to the beach a lot(most likely a private beach club). Some Long Islanders are from rich areas, or middle class, or poor. We're not all rich, white, and jewish. We don't all get $40,000 cars. But we do tend to be slightly spoiled. We're New Yorkers whether we're from the city or not, Long Island is still in NY. People tend to be jealous of us but, why wouldn't you be?
Stereotypical long islander: 17-year-old girl with Daddy's credit card, driving a new BMW 6 series, texting on her new Swarovski crystal encrusted Juicy Couture Sidekick and carrying a Gucci handbag.
Reality: 17-year-old girl who's been working since she was 15, driving a used car that was either bought for her or she paid for, texting on her pink Razr, and carrying a Coach bag.

Island that extends from Queens to Suffolk County. Covers a large area of multicultural mixes. Suffolk County contains more than just the Hamptons and is not all rich or all poor. It is south and east of NYC. Although two parts of NYC are on the island the whole island is not part of the city. That is like saying Disneyworld is all of Forida, or Boston is the only city in MA.
However it does have the world's Biggest parking lot commonly known as the LIE.
Also some LIers are from NYC but not all and all LIers are New Yorkers.

1: Oh where are you from?
2: Long Island
1: Isn't it dangerous there in the city?
2: I wouldn't know I'm from Suffolk County.
1: Oh the Hamptons.
2: No they are an hour away.
1: Oh. Where are you?
2: Here.
1: Never heard of it.
2: Well it is part of Long Island.

Part of the suburban NY-NJ-CT metropolitan area of 19,000,000 people. Levi town was one of the first incorporated suburbs in the 1940's after the depression and WWII. Now it is primarily dominated by Guido's and Japs. Very segregated compared to other parts of the country I came to realize after living in Florida which
happens to way out as being a little too diverse for me. Many rich wealthy obnoxious towns, many poor ghetto working class towns but overall mostly middle class suburban towns with families. Pretty safe for being in such a populated place. The city is very accessible usually anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Look to buy a
house prepare to spend $500,000 or more for a decent looking home in a nice community. Schools are pretty good and the kids are mostly spoiled or live at home until they are 30 like on VH1'S Frank The Entertainer in a Basement Affair.

To all of you who are dissing Long Island:
You guys have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! Not all of Long Island is rural, in fact, little of it is. And not all parts of Long Island are wealthy, either. My family happens to be middle-class. I go to public school, and don't live in a rich neighborhood. Long Island is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And to whoever said that Long Island is absoultely no where near New York City, please get your facts straight. I live one hour away from the city - that sure is far, yeahh. ::rolls eyes::
Long Island is an awesome place to be, and don't diss it until you have seen how nice it is!!

1. A small overpopulated land infested with rich assholes. It is known for their grossly overvalued property, overstuffed beaches, and highly congested traffic. The byproduct that this biological infestation gives off seems to be in the form of kick ass bagels and amazing pizza.
2. An over hyped densely populated diamond encrusted plastic turd.
