I mean this to be a bit funny, but it also touches on some liberal/conservative issues. I constantly see conservative posters on here attacking both San Fransisco and Dearborn, albeit for very different reasons.

So here's my question to conservatives: Which is the lesser of two evils? If you had to move to the stereotyped version of one or the other, which would it be? Who would you rather have as your neighbors: Godless gender and sexual misfits, or freedom-hating Muslim shariasts?

I live within ten miles of East Dearborn now so it's a no-brainer.

Keep in mind, it's not Dearborn. It's East Dearborn.

West Dearborn is still largely whitebread America with a few blacks here and there for good measure.

It's only when you get east of the Southfield that the demographics change.

So you prefer freedom-hating Muslim shariasts to godless gender and sexual misfits?

Frisco.

No way I ever want to endure any more midwestern winters.

But then again... I can't stand earthquakes.


Good question... I have to decide which is worse - freezing my tuchus off or those unpredictable California wake-up calls.

I would probably prefer to live among the rainbow flag flyers ...rather than with the hijab wearers.

Given that hatred of homosexuals combined with a general hypocritical disdain for sexual freedoms is one of the reasons why I hate jihadis and critical of Islam is general, I'd pick San Francisco in a heartbeat.

Think of it this way... we experience MAYBE one "noticeable" earthquake annually, if that. How often does the Midwest experience harsh winters? Hmmmmm.

P.S. You misspelled our city name, hammertime... it's San Francisco. And of course I didn't vote in the poll, given that I'm a liberal who already lives in the Bay Area - definitely not your intended audience, LOL. Interesting question, though!

I'd vote San Francisco. However, if SF were replaced with Berkeley then I'd struggle to decide between Dearbornistan and a city that actively opposes our nation and it's military.

San Francisco. I already live amongst crackpot liberals and have learned how to deal with them just fine. The weather would be the biggest factor for me.

At least San Francisco has the ocean breeze to carry the stench away.
