Toronto versus NYC-- Please, please, *please* compare us to NYC. We beg of you. Pleeeeaasse!!! No, not Montreal!!!

Toronto versus Chicago-- We're kind of like them, but we're more multi-cultural.

Toronto versus the United Nations-- It's kinda cool, but we're more multi-cultural.

Toronto versus God-- ... He's cool n' all that, but we're more multi-cultural than God.
+500 Oh my God! Yessss!!!! I love the Toronto vs. anywhere/anything threads And you're spot on with labeling them as overzealous and starry-eyed as well.

dementor was the best poster (and by best, I mean worst) on C-D. Loved all the dementor alter egos but always the same blinded bias, usually vented against Chicago. No objectivity/no reason, just blind, unmitigatedhating on Chicago. I used to ****love**** to respond to him/her/it just for the reaction.

Yes I do remember lurking on this site and getting a good laugh at the foolishness that was on display by this poster.

The thread that got me to sign up here was a vs thread between Texas and Florida. Read it about 5 times, and I was still lmao.

So my favs are:

Atlanta vs. anything
North vs. South
Philly vs. Sunbelt city
Northeast vs. California
Minneapolis vs. Seattle

All the vs threads are really entertaining though. I didn't even know there were Omaha boosters until today. I'm always looking for someone to make a really crazy comment about some city or an innocent one where they accidentally badmouth some place. Boom, flame war starts.

I am a Northerner and can explain the south because I used to live there and visited many states in the south.

Anything that can be a DC as the new urban utopia or the word massive and DC can be used

Edit: Also any threads where gogo music becomes a topic for multiple pages

In all honestly overall it should be pretty easy in most things but if the last thread about beauty showed us anything it was that this forum is filled with a lot of Chicago ass kissers with a lot of them virtually being idiots, the thread starter probably being the biggest. So the thread tends to go on for a long time and gets a lot of attention.

Any post that tries to use city/metro population as a way to elevate a city's prestige/level of world class I always find that comical.

I guess an endless sea of residential housing and a landscape that reeks of suburbia is the "In Thing" and automatically bumps the city a tier up.
