Wow. Y'all would think you New Mexicans would understand how to have an open mind, maybe offer solutions?
But, even then - this was a thread about negatives, not positives.
Uhhmmmm......The Albuquerque Area and New Mexico Like/Dislike Thread

You speak false rhetoric and generalize.

The only thing you know, is that you not only do not agree with my opinion, but feel that you should force your opinion on me. That's unfair.
I'm not forcing anything on you. It is MY opinion that you really haven't explored the true essence of the city if when you think of Abq is Urban Sprawl and Walmarts.

If someone said the same thing about a city that I love, instead of harassing the person through use of straw-man arguments and generalizing, I would offer suggestions and possible solutions. Also if they had stated something that was not true, I would correct them. That's just me though.
Why would I do that? You obviously have your opinions and are in turn closed minded to anything outside your only little opinions. There are at least 5 points in your original OP that have no factual data to back your assertions.

I could say you two have proved my arguments correct in regards to close minded, ignorant people - but that would be unfair since you're only two out of 500,000+ people.
You could say that but again read you own posts and you'll get a little insight into close minded and ignorance.
Uhhmmmm......The Albuquerque Area and New Mexico Like/Dislike Thread.
To be fair, it used to be a Dis-Like thread.
I frequently navigate to a thread via my own posting history and not by the
list of threads in the Albuquerque or whatever forum. I do it that way to see
who has responded ( wrongfully ) to my own posts and needs a spanking.
Going into a thread that way, it would be easy to miss that.
( Now don't make me give you a spanking. )

I have explored ABQ.. and there are tons of little things I like about this place, but the overall picture to me is suburban sprawl . And... New Mexico is #7 for Walmarts per capita (Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is not allowed), and ranks 37th in population, less than all the other aforementioned states. You're smoking crack if you tell me that ABQ isn't sprawled out suburbia..
I do enjoy Erza's place (Duck enchilada) and I've made good friends with the owner of Joe's off Vassar. I work at the Red Cross and have met some amazing people, same with Stand Up For Kids. It's unfortunate that I work 16+ hours a day and cannot "explore the true essence of the city", as you say. I know Erza's and Joe's aren't exclusive spots - but I do know good places for any occasion.
I apologize that since I have traveled the world and have found places I find better, gives me a biased opinion. Hey, that happens. I'm a bit spoiled rotten. But, hey... If you've explored the true essence of some of the world's greatest cities, you might be biased too. But, I don't know anything.
Whatever you respond to with what I've just said, that's the end of it. Don't really care to argue about an opinion, it goes nowhere and does nothing for this thread..
