Philadelphians would stand with San Franciscans.
Phoenicians would stand with New Yorkers.
Houstonites would stand with Chicagoans.

Virginians would fight alongside Alaskans.
Floridians would fight alongside New Mexicans.
Illinoisans would fight alongside Georgians.


So while we have at it here on the C-D boards, lets remember that we're all neighbors, and we'd all defend this country together. If America ever was invaded by a foreign army, Id be proud to fight along side ALL of you. So while we pick on each others' cities here on the boards, lets just be proud of the fact that we're all neighbors sharing one amazing country. Just thought Id share...
Thank you. Sometimes reading these posts about how much everyone despises other places and people, I wondered myself if they see it that we are all just Americans and in one country.

Im very critical of many cities, dont get me wrong, but in the end, its actually kinda silly if you think about it. We're all Americans in the end, all sharing this awesome country. We should be glad its so diverse and unique!

I hope you're not serious. If you are, then that's really sad.

Steve-o, thank you for this thread. It's a nice change.

The fact that you consider it a possibility that he/she is serious is sadder.

No, because I've been on this board for 3 years and wouldn't be surprised to see someone say something awful like that.

Yes, I think you're critical of Colorado,and yes we have had words,and frankly some of your posts really **** me off..but as a former Army Ranger/91 Delta. infantry men.and explosive specialist( and most important fellow AMERICAN),.. I would have your back as you would mine in the big picture...This country speaks an unspoken collective liberty..DON'T TREAD ON ME ..I get really hot headed on these threads(sorry)..Even though Chicago sucks..just kidding Just don't talk smack about Denver,and we will get along famously..Southern California has been my adapted home for years..love it or hate it..where ever you live..it's home.know what I'm saying..just like Illinois is your beloved state(beautiful state btw). I JUST GET PISSED when I feel people disrespect my home plot of land..know what I'm saying..There is an enemy out there who hates us all NYC,LA,Chicago Ect... I believe this is a well needed, and positive spirit thread..WE need to stop the threat. those who will stop at nothing to kill us all. ..no hard feelings Stevo..peace my friend scott5280
