Maybe that high school of yours needs to teach you the fine points of debate and how to bow out graciously.
I know...he starts the junk and then tries to make everyone else look bad. It's very immature.

No - I see you trashing Atlanta's. That's the kind of trash talk you seem to thrive on. I can see that I will enjoy my time on this forum much more if I place you on ignore. Have a nice life.

If you are talking about many things such as high crime rate, sprawl, pollution, traffic, ect... then I suppose the Atlanta area fits those.

And they can't be found anywhere else in America, in particular San Diego.

As far as the high crime rate, that's not found in San Diego. San Diego's low crime rate makes it more like a Japanese or Canadian city. In fact, the way San Diegans view Atlanta reminds me of how the Japanese view America, a culture of crime and violence and is very dangerous to go to compared to their peaceful homeland. As for the sprawl, San Diego is a sprawling and low-density city, and has just about the same pop. density as Atlanta. And for traffic and pollution, well I guess that makes Beijing feel like an American city?

Um. Well.
The questions get stupider and stupider. It's like being "more pregnant" or "more dead".
