View Poll Results: Omaha as a World Class City: How does it rank?
1st (There is no place like Nebraska and no city like Omaha... ANYWHERE) 40 31.75%
2nd (because Big-O mass transit is not the best and riding the bus is important) 5 3.97%
3rd (because Omaha has too many white people and whites are void of diversity) 4 3.17%
4th (because corn is lame and Omaha is close to corn) 9 7.14%
5th (because Omaha is just a suburb of Chicago) 4 3.17%
6th (because Omaha is just a suburb of Denver) 1 0.79%
7th (because Omaha is just a suburb of KC) 6 4.76%
8th (because Scranton is still a city and still rocks like nobody's business) 13 10.32%
9th (explain why) 1 0.79%
10th (explain why) 43 34.13%
Voters: 126. You may not vote on this poll

No, no uh I'm afraid I cannot. This is part of my standard lexicon and it would mean having to change my entire vocabulary just to suit the interests of a sole individual. I hope you understand.

Not just me, the entire populous of Nebraska and some of Iowa taken that as an offensive measure against the city they adore, and you used to call it Omaha before, you changed your lexicon once you can change it again. Plus that paragraph of your is superfluous. I know big words too.

Does the entire populous of Nebraska really adore Omatopia? (look, I changed my lexicon too!). Oh wait, every American should be offended by such an affront to our nation's greatest city!

And what about Beefalo? Should I start to call it Buffalo just to satisfy a few Beefalonians? Or Fartford? Should I start calling it Hartford just to satisfy the wishes of a few people in the Land of Steady Habits? Or should I start calling Filthydelphia Philadelphia after more than two decades?

You've stated your case well and I respect you for that. But while I can sympathize with your plight and the potential wishes of nearly 1.7 million Nebraskans to change what I call the place, I honestly don't believe I should make an exception in this case. I don't think I could respect myself at this stage of my life if I were to comply with your orders...

All great pics, guys. Yes, the countryside shot has great, crisp color contrasts. Really.

LMAO at #8! In good conscience though Go Ne has defended my little Scranton battles from time to time, so I couldn't vote for my own hometown here! LOL! For what it's worth though Scranton packs quite a little punch for a city of 72,000.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston considered purchasing a mansion in the Scranton 'burbs several years ago. Does that make us cool too?

You sound like a metrosexual.
