There you go assuming things about me again.

I am 100% native and for the most part I attended prep schools when I was growing up.
One of the most popular songs at one of my schools was not a GoGo song, it was a song by a 5 year old from France.

Does it matter where one is born? I don't think it does in my experience. It just matters where you are going and how you are getting there. I think the biggest issue between "natives" and "transplants" is that the "natives" feel like the "transplants" look down on them while the "transplants" feel like the "natives" do nothing to help the city out. I'd like to say that this is just not true. Both sides need to realize that only some "transplants" and some "natives" actually act that way. The majority from both sides are just trying to go to work and enjoy their lives. Remember it only takes a few people to ruin it for everyone else.
