Well being born and raised someplace gives you insight especialy on native folk I've live in other states when you can look from an outside perspective you can compare and from my travels the San Francisco natives for the most part are LAME! sorry and if it does not apply to you then it does'nt and thats good

And i think its overrated cuz people make it out to be bigger than what i really is.

ANd i hear alot of tech jargin about Apple and Sony. Is SF the tech showcase capital or San Jose cuz when ever i hear a tech related broadcast on TV SF is usally in the location talked about.


Being from the Chicago area, I can tell you Chicago is "much more bigger" but apparently the school system still sucks Moderator cut: Swearing.
San Francisco is not considered the Manhatten of the west. It's considered the most European style city in America. You think it's overrated why again? Because people make it out to be big? Who are these people?? I will beat them up for you and give you dere lunch money.

Man you're not even from here, you can't even spell properly. You're just claiming to be so you can sound like you have the right to criticize the natives. You're obviously hell bent on bashing actual native San Franciscans, so I imagine that you're some transplant that lived here temporarily and was not accepted among the native population, so you moved to Chicago and now feel like striking back. Sound about right?

If you're actually from here though, what schools did you go to? And what years? What high school did you graduate from.....*ahem* sorry, that was a low blow.....what high school did you attend? I'd like to hear some details on your life here before I'd even consider buying what you claim here. And more than what you can just list after looking up classmates.com. If you're from SF, then prove it.

Um, or you just can't handle the truth?

How about an argument that's better than, WELL YOU MUST BE LYING ABOUT BEING BORN AND RAISED IN SF?

Surely if someone was born and raised in SF, and they are using that as a platform to discredit the place. Then they should know in-depth the landmarks, schools, and businesses that were open/closed during their life.... something to corroborate their claim?

That's not too much to ask.

This is the first time you've requested him to.

I'm sorry but the fact that you can't just take his word for it only leads me to believe that you're just pissed because he's a native dissing other natives. He's probably from SF and you're just going to have to get over that.

Oh this one is going to nail it remember in the early 80's Firefighters gave those stickers to kids to display on their windows so if a fire broke out they would know where they were

Or maybe you're just too stubborn to entertain the possibility?

He's generalizing SF natives here, which is my entire family and most everyone I hold dear, by insulting the region. He also seemed illiterate, and so hateful of the region (look at how many posts he has trying to bash the place) that I wasn't simply buying what he had to say b/c he claimed to be a native. That claim allows him to act like he has the right to hate on the rest of us. So please remove the stick from your rear. I was checking him b/c he sounded more like a liar than an actual native. Deal with it. Unless YOU just can't handle it?

This is the first time I've spoken to him. I just read a bunch of his offensive crap and I doubted he's a native. I have every right/reason to have my doubts. His bitterness doesn't make sense. Some people are sellouts, but he goes beyond that with his hostility. And you jumping to his rescue the way you have makes me think you're a hater too. So go somewhere with that. Smh.

Why are YOU so convinced he's telling the truth?? He's only been talking trash from what I've seen, so what about that makes you such an ally of his, huh? He could be from here originally, but he also could be lying. So I asked that he prove that he's from here. I didn't say there was no possible way he's from here. I just asked him to prove it. You've got issues man.
