I know "upstate" NY always catches shit, but I much prefer it to, what I call, the 7 boroughs. Where you have to pay a king's ransom just to live in the fucking ghetto and you have to blow the fucking mayor if you want to own a Glock.

I've only been down to the city 6 or 7 times. And only to Yankee Stadium. I've never even actually seen the city. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to live there. Not really a big city guy.

So how did you escape and where are you living now?

Holy Jesus I'd rather live in a sewer than in NYC. :nono:

Besides, my city has everything it has to offer minus the world renowned crime rate. :hatsoff:

I grew up in LI and Brooklyn and then, with a wing and a prayer, got into NYU when I was 18. But I hated it, couldn't afford it and ended up packing up and heading for Ohio. I lucked out and met my girl at Kent State an we both found employment and have been nomads until last year. She got her degree, I didn't.

I lived in PA, OH and Florida. The cost of living in either place is a blip on the map compared to NY. And unless you're a scene fag or you've got a fucking amazing career going, the three Islands ain't a place for a man with a will and a brain. I'd include the Bronx...but who the hell is willingly living in the Bronx?? There's nothing like driving in only to be greeted with a five story high Big Pun mural...

the Bronx honors a shitty rapper who was so fat that he had to ride around on a scooter. Fuck New York! :thefinger

Glad you were able to make it out brother.:hatsoff:

Just in case no one picked up on it. I'm being fucking sarcastic. I love my country. I'm tired of hearing from people how much it sucks. In particular the Americans that say this.

I mean I don't see any threads or post about how much any other country sucks. Just us.

Just had to get it off my chest.

To be fair Americans are more familiar with how their country sucks compared to how much other countries suck.


To be more serious here. America does do a good number of things right, even if those things decrease in number as time goes on or get watered down. That however, doesn't mean people here should turn a blind eye to all the negative things we do as a country, which is plenty. I just try to look at reality objectively, and not shy away from the reality of what we do right or wrong.

If you ever wanna head West, let me know! I can lead you to the promised land! There ain't no good reason that a good man like you should be represented by Chuck Schumer!

And contrary to popular belief, the "MidWest" ain't all churches and charity car washes.

Yes I believe the US is the greatest country in the world. I'm so thankful I wasn't born anywhere else, no offense to those that weren't.

 

[meesterperfect]

good stuff.

Try living in mediocre overcrowded parts of Greater London, you have to look at paying over 500,000 of your American dollars just for a basic 3 bed house, it's so crowded there are people everywhere and flats are constantly built on all empty land spaces of converted from old pubs/shops etc and these cost a min of say $230,000.

There's plenty of room over in Australia!!:wave2:

I lived in Texas for a year when I was stationed at Lackland Air Force Base. I loved it except that it was too flat. Someday I want to move to Alaska, It's always been a goal of mine since I was a kid.
