Brooklyn is most definitely an island, as much an island as
Manhattan., there is no way to get there without crossing a bridge,
taking a ferry, going through a tunnel under a river, swimming, or
parachuting in. The borough of Brooklyn is Kings County. There are no
boroughs comprising Long Island,. there are two countys, Nassau to the
west and Suffolk to the east. What no brainers, can't decipher a
map... without GPS yoose imbeciles coulddn't find your way home unless
yoose left a trail of bread crumbs. NYC is comprised of five
boroughs; Manhattan, Brooklyn. Queens, Staten Island, and The Bronx.
Staten Island is not an island, used to be called Richmond. Brooklyn
should have been a Country, at least a State. Brooklyn is far more
qualified to be a state than third world ukelele land. I'd much
rather have seen Brooklyn become a State, in the '50s, not now, too
many fercocktah liberals.
