Crack in the water and a one-way ticket outbound on LIRR/Metro-North to the homeless.

Kansas, its just one big giant field of nothing. No hills, no trees, just flat for as far as the eye can see.

i live in LA and ppl here are very rude. as you drive along the freeways, if you want to change lanes, people will purposely speed up or slow down so you cant. then if u try and make eye contact to tell them u want to get in the lane, they look away as if they never saw u. when i went to SF, noone was rude at all, Chicago wasn't AS rude, Boston was close, NYC was the closest. But by far, LA is rudest IMO

Gypsum Hills or Red Hills of Kansas

Kansas - Flint Hills

Those photos of Kansas hardly qualify as hills in my opinion. The Smokey "mountains" are hills. The Rockies are mountains. The picture posted are plains with mild crevices.

"If you don't get jolted awake by a quake and wake up in the ocean"

I really think this is an absurd concern. Statistically insignificant threat- particularly in San Diego that isn't even threatened by quakes.

"New York City is the most rude and unfriendliest place not just in the U.S. but the entire world."

Really? I don't feel that way at all. It moves at fast pace and people are abrupt, but I've never found it unfriendly.

"And its also a bulls-eye for terrorism."

Again, a statistically insignificant threat.

"If you're a terrorist from Iran"

Terrorists from Iran? I think you are confusing them with the Saudis, our good friends.

It has some hills but very small ones like a prepubescent girl.

If its not a hill and not a mountain, then what is it? Its certainly not a mound! Therefore theyre hills. The Smokies ARE mountains, just not rocky, but theyre definitely mountains.

I agree with steve_o that the Smokies are mountains indeed. Anyone who has ever hiked in the Smokies would agree!

I am currently living in Colorado, home to more than 50 majestic 14,000 ft mountains. 14,000 seems really high...and it is, but many of the adjacent valleys floors are 7000 to 8000 ft to begin with...giving a rise of 6000 or 7000 ft above the valley floor ( these are not exact numbers ). Again I'm guessing that the valley floor adject to the Smokies is around a 1000 ft which gives a rise of more than 5000 ft. My point is: The Smokies are significant mountains! If you don't agree, take a hike....in the Smokies.

Many Blessings.....Franco
