Which is what? That you approve of lying with statistics? (Which is the title of a book, BTW, that I had to read when I took statistics.) There is no science involved in any of those articles. They'd make a real scientist, especially a statistician, blanch.

Like i said you can deny the facts all you want. There is a word for people who refuse to change their beliefs when presented with evidence. It is a personal problem if you stubbornly stick to incorrect assumptions.

At this point i have proved what i have said and i see you have nothing productive to counter with. So if you have something intelligent to add i would love to here it, but if you want to close your eyes, cover your hears, and scream ' "im not listening," over and over i am not wasting time.

Are you talking to Katiana or are you talking to yourself?

Quite true! Several of us have answered the OP about how our neighbors treat us in the suburb positively, and yet you still keep telling us we're neglected, isolated, unhappy, etc. You are simply not going to change your mind, are you?

Suppose you tell me how your city neighbors treat you?

And to come full circle I think some posters have shown us how isolated suburbanites can be.

THe problem is many of them are living in their own little world, isolated from everyone else.

A mental gulag of their creation where they cant be bothered to connect with other people, and respond with anger and ignorance when their view is threatened.

Give an examle, from this thread. And tell us about your city neighbors (2nd request). Knock of the psychoanlysis, too.

Like I said I am done talking with you if you are going to ignore facts. I wouldnt have a discussion about global warming with someone who didnt believe in science, or dinosaurs with someone who thinks the Earth is 3000 years old and refuses to believe anything else.

We are going to have to agree to disagree. I like having discussions but dislike arguing for the sake of arguing.

Anyway, I already made my point.

You've made a point, but it's not what you think it is. You cannot provide one example of city neighbors being more friendly, etc than suburban neighbors. You won't describe your experience with city neighbors. The facts being ignored are the ones you are ignoring.

Yes, I believe the word is "cry_havoc".

Pretty much everyone here has refuted your baseless and undocumented generalizations. You're the one with the problem, not us.

By talking about how we interact on a daily basis with our suburban friends and neighbors? Hmmmm ...

Other than repeating yourself over and over again, without even the slightest shred of anecdotal evidence, how exactly have you done this?

By refuted of you mean deny facts and give opinion than yes some people did that.

I did repeat the facts. You repeated false info over and over. So this was a redundant conversation. My first post made a point and people dont want to listen because it makes them unhappy to think about. What can i do?
I mean lots of people did rep me and agree but 3 or 4 people want to live in denial. There problem not mine.
