Just keep in mind if you move to Dallas you have to deal with all the Cowboy fans running their mouths all the time even tho their team never gets past the 1st round of the playoffs. On the positive side, Philly has great history, beautiful buildings and parks, amazing food, Phillies baseball, Eagles football, and Flyers hockey. But on the negative side, we have high taxes, Sixers basketball, and crappy weather. I have never been to Dallas, i'm sure its probably a nice place even tho their football team is irritating because they have 5 more Super Bowl rings than my team.

I grew up in LA, but I live here now so I consider myself an honorary Texan. Especially since my parents are from here.

You seem to be more intersted in acting like a child than having a discussion. You throw out more insults than facts. You show nothing to back it up. If Ocean and Atlantic Counties arent in the CSA, then there should be no reason for you to consider putting them in there? Do you just pick and choose which counties you want to suit your arguement? Why not throw Pittsburgh in there? They are in the same state after all.

I can understand wanting to take CSA over MSA measurements, but if those places arent in the CSA, they are irrelevant period.

Show me data that Ocean and Atlantic counties are apart of the same MSA or CSA. Put up or shut up.

Funny thing is as of the last census Ocean county was apart of the NYC metropolitan area.

According to this data, its at 6.4 million. Even through its from 2008, given its growth rate, theres no way that its at 7 million.

Perhaps its you that should do your homework.

It is really very simple. Provide a link - one link - backing your statistics. If you don´t, well, then you have none. You are lying.

You mean someone like the Moderator? You and the Moderator is the only people who can remove links from your post. The only thing we can do is report you for trolling, hijacking, or getting off topic, which your not doing any of those things so why would we? That's a lame excuse and I think your just making crap up because you don't have a link.

The worst thing about being an Eagles fan is that every time you talk trash on another team they can always give you the old How Many Super Bowl Rings Does Your Team Have line. That's why i can never rip on another team for very long.
