The StaTen Commandments
The Official Code of Conduct for Staten Islanders.

I love the angry responses

I love the angry responses from the Staten Islanders. There were some commandments specific to them that were conveniently left out of this otherwise vital list. For instance; "Thou shalt stop drink once thee starts talking like Big Daddy Snow on barbiturates". Or; "Thou shalt remember to bathe at least weekly, lest thou start to attract flies to thine open mouth". Assclowns, please stay on your dirty island and smell the assy air of dirty diaper stink.

LOL

These are awesome. I hate when I see a guy wearing capri's... it's so feminine, they look like morons.

these commandments are great

this is hysterical!!!! especially number 2... anyone could use that chart as a reference! And with the hair gel... that can most definitely be applied to people other than Staten Islanders!! I've seen many guys and girls outside of NY who use more hair gel then they should! All of these commandments are great and should be given second thought the next time your out in public! People who think they are being stereotyped don't have a sense of humor! You need to look in the mirror and laugh at your self every now and then... and when your in your car... no matter what island, borough, state or country your from... pleaseee keep it to the level that your car is not vibrating... just bc u love ur music.. doesn't mean everyone else does! Stay Classy Staten Island... be proud of who you are! When your off the Island make sure you represent us proudly!

LOL

dude, you talk about how its horrible to stereotype people and then all you did was stereotype people. talk about being racist and closed minded... not to mention a horrible speller

did you read the disclaimer?

did you read the disclaimer? he talks about how people are like this all around the country and this list is meant to stop "the remaining" Staten Islanders who are ignorant enough to act this way from "exhibiting these characteristics". seems like half of them are a satirical response to Mayor Pringle and the other half should be taught to any youth in this country. spelling? could it be you just don't recognize these big words?

dude, i love the

dude, i love the commandments and were pointing out iorny's stereotyping...

iorny

To whom it may concern ,
As much as i don't agree with stereotyping the ironic part is the mayor is right . Born and raised on this island the people who stereotype the most are from the south shore (in which i live on ) .. The most racist close minded people i've ever know .. I speak this way because up until my freshman year of college i to was yes working at a tanning salon with a blow out . (at least i survived any tribal tattoos or rosary beads and cross's .. Yes and then i moved to manhattan where still i brought the staten island culture with me not realizing what it would do . Unfortionately i was in a dorm with long island Dirty jerz so my actions went unnoticed .. i finally realized when i moved to astoria that there is so much more to life then techno music .. i moved back shortly and shut the world i knew of tottenville woodrow and other neighborhoods down .. i like things from staten island like handball and deli meat .. but the tough guy attitude or gas guzzling suvs or highlights that form cheetah patterns in girls hairs or coach bags tiffanys braacelets with the sivler hearts i can do with out .. was the mayor wrong yes but right at the same time people tend to have the attitude and alchol can be the fuse .. its funny close minded stereotypes dont like being stereotyped irony or ignorance ?
