I am not accusing anyone of being over-sensitive (and NOW this is off topic), but I do also agree that we are witnessing a VERY hyper-sensitive society around us.. The irony: when one refers to society as hyper-sensitive, it opens the door from the accuser to say: THAT comment justifies that you are IN-sensitive...one day, some of us should meet for coffee and have a real good discussion! Sincerely, Master Jay from Milwaukee... P.S. They serve great coffee at Don Juan in Edison Park and the Book Cellar in Lincoln Square, if we ever formulate a Meeting of the Minds

yes, as OP, I do understand geography and political jurisdiction. The Chicago MSA does include places like Kenosha County as well as Lake County (and I wasn't thinking about the one it abuts), so, yes, I am perfectly comfortable including parts of WI and IN in a Chicago discussion.....just as I would see Jersey City in a far greater Manhattan-centric viewpoint than I would any city in NYS.

Yep, I throw some crap out there (do you know anyone who doesn't?). I don't do it if I'm not interested and I am more (far more) than comfortable with people seeing what I pose and just opting out for lack of interest.

A city doesn't have to be physically close to Chicago in order for it to be heavily influenced by it. It's a perfectly reasonable topic of discussion.

Carry on.

As am I, and as I noted in the message to which you were responding. (There are actually four Indiana counties and one Wisconsin county in Chicago's MSA if we're keeping count.) There's still no "true Chicago, WI." I find that to be an asinine concept. You asked our opinions, and I gave you mine.

Indeed you do-- Or did this time, anyway. That doesn't normally seem to be your thing, IMO.

I agree completely. That's a different subject entirely. Okinawa is heavily influenced by Arlington, VA (The Pentagon)-- That doesn't make it "The true Arlington, Japan."
