I doubt you know Dallas very well if you think Dallas is country. The city is anything but.

Travel more? Hmmm, i've been to all 50 states. I've been to about 20 different countries. I think I have done my fair share of traveling? where have you traveled to that is more world class?

The only troll is you, don't get hurt because I stated my opinion of how ghetto Detroit really is.

Thats your basis on Dallas is country? That Dallas has cows?

The only places you will find cattle in large numbers within the urban area are on old cattle farms where the owners refused to sell after the city grew.

Sorry man, if you think the city of Dallas is country you do not know what country is.

Continue then with your other two assignments that you ignored, and add in get a better grasp on the word "troll" as well. Blatantly dismissing metro Detroit as "ghetto" is just plain ignorant, there is still a lot of affluence, culture, and worth up in that metro. I'm not "hurt" by your ignorant comment, I have no stake in Detroit or the state of Michigan at all, just helping you. As for your, "where have I traveled that is more "world class" than Dallas?" question, rather than listing them all as there are quite a few I'll just leave you with more current location.

You don't know what country is if you believe this.

Right now, I wouldn't say Dallas as a whole is world class but rather Dallas has aspects of it that are world class (its resturants, DFW airport, it's economy, it's shopping). But Dallas has work to be done in several other areas before it can be truly world class (it's cultural scene, walk ability, it's downtown).
