Nobody cares enough to discuss Cicago vs. New York. New York is what it is and Chicago is what it is and no number of conversations on city-data will ever change that.
You have an experience of living in two cities. You also have the experience of living through 8 different aliases.

The two cities to which you refer dementor are of course: White Plains, and... White Plains.

You see, Cupcake, you can't even have an argument without attacking someone. Extreme defensiveness is part of Chicago's culture and one of the reasons nobody really cares for your city.

No, you haven't lived in New York City. You live in White Plains, NY. But you want to move to NYC when you get old enough and move out from living with your parents.


What have you been doing on every post that discusses Chicago??

oh c'mon now White Plains Drifter. I'm not attacking you... I was joking.

I'm sure you cringed a bit when you read that because you knew other people would laugh a knowing laugh at your expense. It's called levity.

You need to get off the message boards once in a while and interact with flesh and blood people. I think you sit in your room and work yourself into a hating, cess-pool lather. I guess it would help if your neighbors put a security code on their wireless. I bet they have no idea the harm their causing by their casual, care-free wireless set-up.

Wow. Look at this. So much for the 'down to earth, unassuming city' of Chicago
Instead of enjoing the fact that someone form a real city wants to talk to you, you chose to attack via "witty" comments. Again, there is a good reason why nobody cares for Chicago.

Now, now White Plains Drifter... lets lighten up a bit. It's just a message board. No need to get yourself all worked up.

And btw.. since when is White Plains "a real city". I'm sure it's a nice suburb, but I really think it's a mixed in, middle-upper sprawler somewhere on a highway between Albany and New York City. I'm sure it's fine, at least for you.

Again. One can only admire your art of discussion. No way to win on arguments so let's try this famous Midwestern wit.
Again, there is a good reason why nobody cares for Chicago.
