Here, instigator one meet instigator two. Please PM each other your ignorant flame messages and leave the rest of us out of your idiocy. Thank you both.

And I agree with Lifeshadower and 18Montclair, that dead horse pic would be the perfect to this thread.

I mean seriously, at this point we should probably have a Chicago-SF forumer meet and greet-everyone bring their favorite dish. LOL

I live in the bay area and it sucks, no snow, crappy traffic, too liberal, too hippy, and everything in between.

Wow, the Bay Area has much more diverse suburbs than Chicago does.

I agree with this for the most part... most people forget that the bay has three big cities though (Oakland, SJ, SF) all with their own airports. All are very different from each other... very different. I prefer the bay to the chicago area because once you're out of the city of Chicago... Illinois is one of the last states I would want to live in. Chi>>SF but CA >>>>>>>>>>IL

Maybe the NORTHWEST suburbs of Chicago...

My suburban white ass has lived around minorities my whole life - unlike Bay Area white suburbanites who get all nervous at the mere sight of a black person. These are the demographics of my SUBURBAN community college in Chicago Heights, Illinois:

Black - 2,628
White (non-Hispanic) - 1,809
Hispanic - 594
Asian / Pacific Islander - 79
American Indian / Alaskan Native - 28
Race Unknown - 151
