Documentary Reveals What It Means To Be A Florida Man

Ask anyone who has lived in Florida for an extended period of time and they'll tell you that the state's bad rep was earned by the violent and brutally wasted people who keep Florida far from chill.

Documentarian Sean Dunne didn't set out to make a film about Florida's less than esteemed citizens, he just “drove around aimlessly, stopping any time we saw something or someone that interested us”.

But when he hit the sidewalks and started filming he discovered Florida's citizens, lowlifes or otherwise, are more than happy to chat about how their lives revolve around fighting, drinking and carousing.

Heck, one ornery old cuss even tried to fight the audio guy! (Video is NSFW due to language)

This is how Sean's incredibly raw and poignant documentary "Florida Man" was born, and although he went into it without bias, Sean's opinion was surely swayed by the drunk and dangerous characters he encountered during filming. It's a wonder Sean and his crew made it out of Florida with their equipment intact!

Re; Slavery being edited out. He was not mad that slavery was excluded in general. He was mad because he had written the King himself was responsible for bringing slavery to the colonies. That accusation of the King is what got edited out, not just the idea of slavery.

Actually, DeRoest - there wasn't a United States, just 13 united States. A slight but significant distinction (it was 13 separate but united states that declared independence, not a country named "United States")

In answer to the "when did it become the United States, basically it was after the Civil War. Before that people would say " the united states are..." and after they would say " the Umited States is...". ( credit to late historian Shelby Foote for that)

Frank, I think the point is that the document itself was declaring our independence from the monarchy and therefore we would no longer be "subjects" but "citizens" of a new government despite the fact that the final form of that actual government would not be completed until the Constitution was ratified.

It demonstrates that Jefferson had to even change his mindset seeing this was the first declaration of its kind against the British throne.

Overall it's just a neat fact that allows historians to get all excited. And they deserve to get excited once in a while. :)
