Here are some demographic comparisons. For simplicity Ive rounded the numbers up or down. The numbers wont all add up to 100% because I didnt bother with the mixed race section:
Metro Philadelphia/Camden/Wilmington: 281,000
Metro Dallas/Fort Worth/Arlington: 1,286,000
Based on this factual information, I would make the conclusion that the DFW area and Dallas itself are more diverse except among European cultures where Philly is obviously more diverse.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^So...........................your point is?
That there is overall more diversity among people in DFW than Philly. Some would say thats a plus. Its not the only thing that makes a city nice, but it helps.
Actually my screen name was a joke. It has nothing to do with my personality or sexuality. If anything I am an alpha male. Straight, strong (wrestled for many years) and not afraid of much. Probably been in over fifty fights in my life. Not bragging, just a fact. But as I am older, I don't feel the need to prove myself anymore. In Philly there are far to many hot head, wannabe tough guys. I don't have the time or patience for that crap anymore. Plus I like my freedom. There are alot of tough guys in prison.But you keep insulting me, because I don't think highly of Philly people. You are proving my claim to a "T". Thank you..
Besides, I am man enough in my sexuality and personality to carry a name like that. It was meant to be a pun, but many are thinking that it has something to do with my sexuality, etc. Not at all. If I would have put Superman alone I would have been construed as egotistical. So I made fun out of it. Trust me, and I am not trying to argue with you or make any problems but I can almost guarantee you that in person you would watch your mouth around me. Atleast show me some respect, as I would show you. You wouldn't be so free to talk trash.
Only Philly people are so damn defensive. They act like their city is the best city in the world. Get over yourself. Your not that special to the rest of the nation.

i agree. plus i like the fact that they are 2 very different cities with different lifestyles. if all cities were the same in culture, architecture, weather, etc...this would be a pretty boring world.

The broad generalizations is not cool.
I respect my mother and father, and a select few others, other than that I hate everybody equally. I'm not scared of anybody(except maybe the cops) because I have yet to meet someone who can outrun a bullet.
I mean no disrespect, there is just no need for the "I'ma tough guy" routine.

Are you serious? That is so lame. Not to be mean but you really have some growing up to do. I hope to god that you do. Like all little boys, you can have the last word, because I don't care for this tit for tat crap. Think of me what you want. Why the heck do I care what someone like you thinks? I somehow get the picture that you have a short life on C-D anyway. You attack others too much and are too argumentative.

No. You show us. You're the one who made the claim, now back it up. Otherwise, you're admitting you made a totally unfounded claim in the hopes that no one would call you on it.
P.S. Nice try calling us "lazy" to try to ward off attackers...
lol this theory might be more effective if i was unsure about my argument. truth be told, i'm the one that's lazy because i really don't feel like doing a list of all those names. at the same time, it's more fun seeing you guys accuse me of not having any sources.....good times on city-data
I saw this thread yesterday and decided to sleep on it. Now that I’ve had my obligatory cup of coffee, I think I may be ready to make my decision-lol.

After taking all things into consideration, Philadelphia’s close proximity to so many other locations outweighed everything else for me. This wasn’t easy since I’ve always preferred more modern places with a lot less density than Philly, but I had to go with “The City of Brotherly Love” on this one!
