90% of predominantly catholic countries are shïtholes. Look at everything south of here for example. The former vassals of Spain in Asia, shïtholes. Southern europe, shïtholes. Eastern Europe, shïtholes. Russia, shïthole.

I have real time data to support my position.

That is an amazing story. I see your logic now. Russia (not a Catholic country btw) being a "****hole" means that Columbus isn't an embarrassingly boring, suburban, strip mall covered sprawling mess of a city. Thanks for explaining this to me!

Again, the dogma is virtually the same. Just because they have had a 1,000 year turf war over who runs things doesn't mean it's not the same thing.

Catholic societies all cut corners. They don't respect rule of law as much as Protestant societies do. That's why you have things like the mafia running amok. That's why the largely Catholic big cities in this country are mostly excrement holes.That's why all the Catholic countries are shytholes.

I realize your double digit IQ brain can't put information together and think for yourself. Maybe somebody should draw a picture for you.

Chicago is a great city, but comparing Chicago to Cincinnati isn’t an apples to apples comparison. I’d attribute the “****hole” characterization of Cincinnati by your Chicago friends as more “Chicago is the center of the Universe” ego mania than an informed opinion. But, hey, everyone is allowed to have an opinion.
Just something my friend from Chicago recently wrote about Jennifer Garner being in Cincinnati promoting her baby food:

"Why a Cincinnati Kroger? The least they could've done was gone to a Kroger in Columbus. Cincinnati is just so.. DIRTY. Isn't there some way to just demolish and plow over Cincinnati and just sod over the land?"

Plain and simple ignorance.

I've lived in all 3 Big Cs...Columbus (1997-2005, went to OSU, graduated 2001, and stayed until 05). Cincinnati (2009-2014), Columbus again (2014-2016) and Cleveland (2017 til now).

Columbus is the fastest growing but it's also far and away the most bland....it's got most of the same issues that must fast growing sunbelt cities like Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Austin, OK City, & Orlando) have...it's all new and bland...no ethnic areas...mostly chain restaurants (what is Columbus' signature dish? Cincy has Cincinnati Chili, Graeters, & Goetta...Cleveland has the Po' Boy, & Pierogis)
Cleveland has the best museums and Cincy is a close 2nd
Nature, Cleveland has the best Metro Parks system by far...Cincinnati has a great metro park system...Cleveland has the CVNP as well as Lake Erie. Columbus has a river that you can't boat in, nor would you want to swim in
Cincy and Cleveland have by far the better downtowns...they have the better sports scenes...
Columbus beats the others in terms of growth thanks to the state government pushing the growth there...does anyone really think "JobsOhio" does anything to help Cincy or Cleveland like it does w/ C'bus? They gave Intel billions of incentives to locate to the Columbus area...no help has ever gone that way to the other cities because they aren't the capital.

JobsOhio gave everybody around the state a chance to respond. Only Columbus stepped up to the challenge, primarily because they have the players in place to put together the amount of land that Intel needed. Nobody else has that kind of infrastructure in place.

However, JobsOhio did facilitate the new Kimberley-Clark plant going into the Warren area.

He is not from Ohio, BTW. A lifelong Chicago native. He tells me that is the general impression people in Chicagoland have of Cincinnati. A step up from Cleveland maybe, but not by much.

Ouch again! Your Chicago friend is pulling the big guns out, using Jennifer Garner to attack my (soon to be) fair city. In spite of her disappointment in her Kroger experience, I still adore her…she is a cutie. I honestly cannot think of ever having a a bad shopping experience at Kroger…maybe my standards for cleanliness are not exceptionally high.

Here in brilliant, clean, safe, prosperous and devoutly Protestant Columbus OH, Kroger tends to lead to murder.
