No, you're lying again. I've been to about a dozen countries. I lived in the United States for 2 years, and have been to around 15 States, Washington DC, and the USVIs. It's you who doesn't know anything beyond your own area.

Stop telling me what I do or do not know. You don't know me and can't talk for me. You can only talk for yourself. You make yourself look stupid pretending to know me.

For well-traveled man of the world you sure do act like a 14 year old child.

If you did travel around the world, I wouldn't be lying...simply just misinformed. What part of the United States did you live in? You actually made it out of Washington DC alive? Wow, you're lucky.

No, you wouldn't just be "misinformed". Misinformed means that somebody informed you of something, but it wasn't true. Nobody has informed you of anything about me except me.

I lived in Louisville, KY. I've been to (not counting airport layovers):

Washington
California
Minnesota (was flown there for a job interview)
Michigan
Indiana
Kentucky (lived)
New York
New Hampshire
Massachusetts
Pennsylvania
Maryland
Washington, D.C.
Florida
USVIs

I think that's it.

Ok, wait 20-30 minutes. The cocaine should have mostly worn off by then.

Hopefully you'll be make an understandable response by then.

In the mean time, I'll try to decipher what I read:

1. People from WORLDWIDE are coming to Toronto, but not Boston

Toronto is definitely a more diverse city than Boston, but that's not to say Boston isn't an international city. Boston has very good international representation and notoriety.

2. Holy omg ECONOMY

You previously compared Boston's size to one of your blood cells. I was simply pointing out the fact that for such a small city, we seem to have a very large economy.

Our population isn't that much smaller either. Yes, Boston city proper is only 620,000, but it's also only 48 square miles. Cities like Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville are very much part of the city's urban fabric, and there is over 250,000 college students in the inner-core of the area. That would put over a million people in about 75 square miles. Not too bad.

Boston offers a lot, and I'm sure in many areas it doesn't stack up to Toronto. However there are plenty areas where Toronto can't match Boston either.

3. dunt even care. Tokyo. World Centre

Are you referring the Global Financial Centres Index which I posted earlier? If that's the case, Tokyo is tied for fifth, Toronto tied for tenth and Boston is one spot behind at twelfth.

P.S. In your first post of this thread, you said Toronto has better higher education than Boston...how much crack are you smoking anyway?

Kentucky's per capita murder rate has continually been higher than Mass over the past decade (approx twice as high), so I'm not sure why seem to think Boston is so terrifying.

It's actually a list released semi-annually...the ranking I quoted was released this month. About a week ago if I'm not mistaken.

Here's the link if you want to read it:
Z/Yen - GFCI 9

I didn't realize I was being harsh...you seriously sounded like you had just sniffed a line, so I was just telling you to wait a few minutes and respond later. I didn't realize that's how you actually talked. Sorry.

It's a highly regarded city in the world, yes. But not much more than Boston, if at all. In comparison to Tokyo (I have no idea why you brought it up earlier), it's a little speck on the map.
