That's a good point. I often use Einstein as an example whenever people critize the intelligence of others, based on typical measuring sticks such as IQ or other test scores.

The best judge of oneself is really oneself...and maybe what the person has done in life.

Yes. Please come quickly

Man, you are just determined to put Phoenix in an unjustified negative light. Sorry you've had such horrible experiences here. I haven't.

There is a saying: Be careful of what you say. Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Good words to heed.
It is unfortunate that this is your case. However, it might be more productive to "love the one you're with", so to speak (or at least not be bitter about it to the point of making a bunch of Phoenix lovers angry with you). And, how "kind" is it to bash Phoenix in the Phoenix forum? I have my perspective on that.

I have no idea what you are saying with this. My points are all still valid about Phoenix. I'm not dead yet. I still have my mental reasoning capacities. I don't really care if a bunch of "Phoenix Lovers" are angry with me. I'll never meet them anyway, nor would I want to.

For some reason you seem really defensive. If Phoenix is that great, there is nothing to defend. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Only defensive when attacked through untrue generalizations.

Well, then please state untrue generalizations. If I don't have the data to back them up, I will apologize Likewise, also provide data. It's a two way street. I do have to go to sleep now. I've had responsibilities to take care of tonight, but they are done. Good night.

I have nothing to back up because I don't go into other cities' forums and dog on their towns. Unless, you mean that you want me to post all of the things that people have said in here and otherwise.

I apologize. I don't mean to direct my annoyance with anti-Phoenix sentiment at you specifically. There are a certain number of "I hate Phoenix" regulars, some of whom don't live here, who continuously post anti-Phoenix posts in a multitude of topics. I guess I lost it when I saw yet another "Phoenicians have low IQs" thread.
