New Yorkers think that Washington DC people are wimps (places, Atlanta, living)

[Chadro77]

Thats funny because those in the MidWest/Great Lakes States think people in the Northeast are wimps because of the way they handle cold/snow.

I hate that certain people, especially one or two in particular in this thread, make New Yorkers seem obnoxious, ignorant, and stupid. Most of us New Yorkers are pretty cool and normal.

Yeah most of us know that. I've met many very down to earth cool New Yorkers that never bragged about their city to us.

So many New Yorkers think the rest of us care about them, it's the city that people love.
The cities greatness doesn't rub off onto a person, a lot of asphalt, concrete, and superficial bull doesn't make you a greater person... It's like talking to 6 year olds.

If its one place where NY dsnt matter its D.C....We're cool but nobody is going to come and infiltrate the culture or tell us who what when where and why about US.....Never met a NY'er around D.C sayin too much...matter fact the only way I'd be able to tell is from their license plate

I grew up in DT Brooklyn as a kid. When it snowed really bad, they would close the schools too.

The proof is in the 9-11 attacks, they targeted NYC and DC only, 2 planes to hit the world trade center, one to hit the pentagon, and one was meant to hit the white house.

They knew that these two cities are the pressure points in America, that if something went wrong there, people all across the world would react.

Im sorry, But in the metro at its hardest hit areas, there were drifts of up to 14 feet. Whimpy? Or smart? Who knows. I'd go with the latter.

I swear people are getting their pants in a twist over what someone said in a newspaper, and then go on to judge people in NY. This site never ceases to amaze me lol. DC and NYC have the same climate first of all, they closed schools in NYC too and it was practically unofficially semi-shut down.

This thread was funny.

This post isn't really helping man, you know what happens when a post like this enters a thread on CD, you have a massive amount of retaliation.

Anyways, this thread is a joke, and completely useless. People taking this thread seriously, are either extremely emotional or just like to start controversies.

Didn't Obama himself say this, he said something like "this would never happen in Chicago."
