I seriously had no idea that MJ was from NYC...you learn something new every day!

Stop whining, whaa whaa whaaaaaaa!

"LA" is bigger in population and understandably, bigger in influence. We don't have to say anything because we already know it. So when it comes to bragging about it, our attitude is "act like you've been there"--because we have. We have seen it all and done it all. Meanwhile ny has to look to LA for affirmation. How many nyers have come to LA to make it big in showbiz? In the end, you need us way more than we need you.

Oh like the Gang Capital! I mean since NY is the most expensive city in the country, doesn't luxury follow money. Especially NY having the most Billionaires in the world. Some of the worlds most expensive real estate. Where else can you find million dollar homes in neighborhoods like Harlem and Washington Heights. The best restaurant city in America. Were even getting the worlds first 8 star condo.

Oh wow. What you posted was a county vs a city. LA county is 4,061 sq mi. NYC is 304.4 sq mi. You just pointed out the sprawl. LA the city is only less than half the population. We dont need you. NY owns most of Hollywood.

That's a fake congratulations but on the same note, congratulations, ny, for being in the same class as Bombay and never hosting a the Summer Games!

More people. More land. That is "LA" and yes we are bigger. CA is bigger. The truth hurts but you'll live.

I haven't been influenced by ny since 1983, as I tried to breakdance in 4th grade.

You don't need us? Talking out your a-ss again. The heck you people don't watch movies. ? Don't use freeways. Don't watch bowl games. Didn't show any interest in the Summer Olympics. Never ate at one our national restaurant chains. Don't copy our fashion. Don't listen to our music.



Man, this is too easy. It's like boxing a girl.
