2nd, yes, I think it's a top 5 skyline, but it COULD E EVEN HIGHER if the skyscrapers were more clumped together. Is this hard to understand?

I can make any comparison I want when you say things like, "None of you can disagree with me when I say that Piedmont Park + Midtown skyline is one of the most stunningly beautiful urban districts in the WORLD!". I can make any comparison because I've traveled over the world and seen cities far above Atlanta, Hong Kong being one and Atlanta has nothing on Hong Kong when it comes to beauty.

Get off my back. You're starting to irk me very much and I've never been irked this much in this forum.

I don't like Atlanta and I have my own opinions and you can't change them so shut the hell up. Stop taking it so personally....it's just a city. Me not liking Atlanta has zero effect on your personal life. You say I need to grow up, but look at you.
Damn....You all right?

Very appropriate quote for that state.

Because we Europeans know that Atlanta is way off the beaten path. Plus many of us are shocked at the politics in red state America. No interest in going to places like Atlanta with viewpoints so narrow.

Stepped on a swollen slug in Decatur today. It was a juicy one. Felt good. Suspect I'll never be a Christian.

NOW who's putting words in other people's mouths? Nobody ever said their opinion is right, or that youre not entitled to your own. Dude, you are out of control and need to chill.

ME: "Piedmont Park + Ansley Park + Midtown Skyline = One of the most stunningly beautiful urban districts in the world!"
YOU: "Because it looks just like Central Park imo...You act like there are no other cities in the world that have a park with skyscrapers near it....It's like a water-downed version of Central park.... It's beautiful area to see, but not exactly much to see. I can get that experience and more in New York."

^^^ NOW who isn't letting who express an opinion? Who is aggressively disagreeing with the others' opinion?!

Agreed. Another reason I can't wait till I graduate my university and get the hell out of here. This is one of the extreme conservative states...Tea party like....the leader of this state say silly things that get into the media all the time and always agree with the extreme right views. It's so backwards, it's not even funny. It's possibly worst then Alabama and Mississippi. That's most likely the reason Atlanta isn't even at it's full potential...just because of the politics. They can't even get more public transportation despite the fact that the metro has grown over 3 million since their last rail line was built. Pathetic.

What does that say about YOU?
