Well yes, I say it like it is. And I dont live in Texas, I live in New York, I just said I am interested in doing business in Texas sometime in the future. That does not constitute to me living in Texas hello.
Another thing, I have been reading posts here for a long time too, why is it thatGeorgians get so defensive over the smallest things? Texas was the better state to Minnesota, so I said it I also said why I thought so. Minnesota given the economic conditions we have at hand is a better state than Georgia in the sense I only care for the economy.
Thank you for telling me about the tolerance, I was not aware Georgia was a tolerant state given its past and my limited exposure to the rural areas of a red state in the south.
I am not here to debate with you, I gave my opinion and I will be moving along now. Have a charming day.
Because people make bad Inform posts that’s why like your tolerance comment dude 4 of 5 of metro Atlanta core populated counties are minority majority. Georgia has the highest percentage of black own business. Mean while Minnesota doesn't really have minorities. Also Atlanta is ranked 3rd in the percentage of gays. So how does someone from Georgia suppose to react to comments like that? "Georgians get so defensive over the smallest things?" better question why do some posters boast incorrect information or something they don't know about? Then don’t suspect someone to correct them?

Minneapolis is a very fresh city, despite its growth being smaller than Atlanta its economy can be the envy for Georgia.
Yes Georgia envy that even though ATL GDP is larger than the whole state Minnesota let alone Minneapolis, )

Here's a classic tale of the pot calling the kettle black....if you are going to make a point about incorrect information, you shouldn't start by stating minnesota doesn't really have minorities. It's no Georgia (and we didn't purchase slaves 300 years ago), but it's still 15%-20% non-white (guesstimate for 2010) and the Twin Cities are closer to 20%-25% non-white (again, guesstimate), so that is close to 1 million people.
ATL GDP per capita is likely less than MSP GDP per capita -- a better comparison of GDP between two unlike cities or states.
I'm not trying to defend Ghost of Blasphamy, as he just wrote similarly snide comments about Minnesota in the MN vs. TX thread, but I'm not sure who's worse at making objective opinions and keeping peace on the theads.

When I said Hope you're happy in Texas what I meant is I hope you will be happy there.
Glad to enlighten you about our State. There are little rural small towns in Georgia (Some of them majority black or hispanic) like the one that I'm from that have black mayors, police chiefs, etc.. ,as well as heavy Hispanic influence. You won't see much of or any of that in in rural communities in Minnesota or even New York for that matter). I'm very comfortable in rural Georgia. I know about our past but I also know there were race riots in NYC during the Civil War in which blacks were hung from light post but I don't hold that or events like Bensonhurst and Howard Beach against your home state.
Yes Georgia is a Red State but all it's largest cities except Columbus voted Democrat.
I'm sure Georgia will keep right on booming like it has for the past 30 years despite your lack of confidence in it's economy. I also will be moving on now. Hope you good fortune in your endeavors.

Every time someone mentions something positive about Minnesota, you go about saying how we are wrong and Georgia is superior. I ask, how is that not 'boasting?' It seems to me that you are indeed the one that gets defensive about the smallest things.
Take others opinions as just that, opinions. If someone prefers Minnesota over Georgia, just deal with it. There are just as many people who dislike Minnesota for the same stereotypical reasons.
I've never partied in the Twin Cities but I was checking out nightclubs, bars, nightlife in general there on the Web for the last two days and it seems that just like with musical talent, Atlanta has a way more vibrant, dynamic, exciting and varied night life.

I wouldn't know about nightlife personally, but my friends who have been to ATL say it isn't anything substantially better than what we have here in downtown MPLS. That isn't to say ATL isn't better, but MPLS is actually pretty sweet. Crowds in the 10's of thousands nightly on 1st Ave and Hennipen, probably close to 100 bars and clubs of all varieties. Can get a little wild around closing time (2:00 or later) so don't be surprised if you see lots of fights, which sometimes get out of control.

It depends on where. Only Downtown Minneapolis, Dinkytown, and Uptown have a large, bar/nightclub scene. There are of course a few more places scattered around, but not nearly as much as Atlanta. Still, there are a handful of very influential establishments in the Cities.
