How can the North East be over rated. If you go to NYC you can find many cultures which you do not find it in the south. Maybe if you only go to Miami. However, there are more states in the NE that you can have a better time than in the south. Like DC, NJ, Philly. If you would go to those places you would find better places to have fun than in the south. Most of the parts in the south, one needs to drive like 1 hour to get to one place wow.... Doesn't that tells you something?
I pointed out, the majority disagree with you and feel the north is overrated.
Wow Uthorn has been caught red-handed. Uthorn is lying. Why you have to lie to make the south look good?
Why do so many NE fans do this? I credit you guys with sticking together, but you just jumped on a sinking boat. Post exactly where he lied. And then pry your foot from your mouth.
You sure showed your northern intelligence right there. You don't even realize most tornadoes in the country don't even occur in The South! The fact that you even made the statement about you being intelligent in the first place shows how ignorant you really are. How does being born in one region make you any smarter than someone born in another region? And how do you know whether a whole region of people is more intelligent or not? And don't give me some bull**** statistics either. That is a ridiculous statement to make because believe me...I have seen my share of idiots from the north. You logic would be acceptable in the third grade at best.
As far as being modern goes...it's funny how modern is a good thing now but when it comes to a skyline debate you northeners are the first ones to talk about how modern skyscrapers are ugly and have no character. BTW there is plenty of culture in The South. If you northern narcissists could get your heads out of your asses long enough to stop basing your opinions on stupid generalizations and stereotypes and actually looked at the culture in the south you would realize that. BTW a lot of things you stereotype about The South ARE CULTURE!! It might not be the culture YOU enjoy but it is culture. So what the **** does culture mean to you anyway?
Many posters on here from the Northeast are very quick to use blanket statements, and love to broad brush entire areas as though the areas that they are so quick to judge contain only one single personality type. These same Northeasterners commonly pat themselves on the back for their intelligence and culture through a series of typos. Pay it no mind.
I agree with you on the modern vs. history/character issue. Though the poster you are quoting may not have brought up the skyline debate, the typical argument IS in favor of the older architecture that has more character and why their skylines are so much greater, as well as why their cities are so much greater vs. newer cities that have so much sprawl. They give no respect to said cities. So to now hear the argument coming from their side that favors modernity is laughable, whether this individual was a participant or not.
For whatever reason there will always be a need coming from that side to be competitive and to be number one. Regardless of whatever the absolute truth is, these types are content to use whatever means necessary to win an argument no matter how hypocritical they might be. They just want to be able to say they're number one. I don't know if this assessment necessarily applies to the poster you're responding to, but it does apply to many posters that play that game on here. I think its pathetic.
My sentiments exactly. DC, Philly, and NYC are great places to visit but horrendous places to live (for maintaining a peace of mind and social life for people who aren't complete type-A, cutthroat, trust-fund, tools). And seeing how many pro-northeasterners are so narrow-minded about seeing their region as the best place in the world with no problems whatsoever while bashing every other place in the world (whether it's London, Paris, Tokyo, or their favorite scapegoat the South) should give everyone the glimpse of the mentality and attitudes I have to deal with on a daily basis.
That tells me those places are awesome to take a vacation and be a tourist in, not necessarily exclusive qualities many people look for in places to live.
I absolutely agree. I think some of the views that come from there are the most narrow of any region that I have experienced. There are homers from everywhere, but the double standards employed by the people from that region that want to win an argument are just pathetic. And for whatever reason they fight tooth and nail to win at everything, regardless of whether they've actually won. They'd be content stealing a trophy from a contest they participated in just to claim the title.
The Northeast is BY FAR the most over-hyped region, and therefore the most overrated IMO. I like it a lot personally, but that only came after many, many disappointments following the setting in of reality. Their insistence on pumping their region up to being this ridiculously miraculous place that no other place comes close to, while failing to give credit to what other regions have to offer and where they rank in comparison, ends up making much of the East Coast a place that does not follow through with what it promises to deliver.
When I learned to tune out whatever East Coast braggarts had told me about their area (most particularly NYC), I got to see how great their place could actually be. But always hearing their claims of how everything stays open so much later, there's excellent pizza EVERYWHERE in the East Coast, the food over there is unmatched, the people there are REAL and genuine (while people in other regions are supposedly fake), blah blah blah, and then getting over there to finally see what so many people had hyped it up to be, I was underwhelmed. The NE could not possibly live up to the hype its fans give it, b/c they defy reality with their claims. So it is the most overrated, but its still an awesome place and I do like it a lot. I just wish when some people were talking it up they'd contain their exaggerations and tell it the way it actually is.
And the supposedly "real" people out there are not as abundant as so many claim. Many of the fakest people I've met in my life come from that region, and people on this forum only reinforce that by lying or behaving like 5 year olds and never acknowledging fault in a disagreement. Not everyone is real out there, but there is an astounding amount of self-congratulatory tools from there. And to have heard the claim of people from there being "enlightened" is absurd when they act like this. They truly do a disservice to all the wonderful people that come from there and don't behave this way. But then again, most of those people aren't on here bragging.
