FFS, why did you resurrect this erstwhile mercifully dormant troll thread?

It's the funniest thread I have ever been on CD. Especially the first 3 pages!

Yeah I felt it necessary that his inappropriate Chicago bashing shouldn't go UNNOTICED down here in the Lone Star State. I'm from Chicago, I don't take to kindly to loaners bashing my city. The deed is done.

HCC just made general description of Americans. They are all like that. In every state. I'm Russian, live in Alabama, hoping to move to Chicago. I was kind of thinking that the situation is better in Chicago, because in Alabama I see the same things the HCC described - fat, badly dressed people, too many sport bars, a lot of foolish bad mannered people, etc.
May be I should consider New York, then. Hmm...

I mean, everywhere you go you'll run into people like that though. What makes you so sure that New York will be any different?

I also think HCC has a very biased view, he obviously liked NYC more, thus put Chicago down. I get what he was trying to say, but I've been there before and it's NOT like what he described. I felt some things were exaggerated.

You didn't notice anywhere in the previous 30-some pages that the deed had already been done dozens of times??

Or maybe you should consider going back to Russia. I hear things are going swimmingly there. It's obvious from your album set that you've been here, so is there any reason why you would take the word of some troll when you've seen the place with your own eyes?

My thanks once again to OmSahi for reviving this thoroughly worthless, asinine thread.

"...it's NOT like what he described"

Well, I will move to Chicago anyway, because I already know where I'm going to live and I've made a lot of researches. I want to see it myself - the Chicago life style.

If I won't like I will move again, not a big deal. I like to travel and to meet different people. Preferably, the nice ones.

"Or maybe you should consider going back to Russia."

This is what Southerners say: "Welcome to the South! Now go home".


May be not only Southerners.
