Hollywood is nothing but a negative influence on the American youth. How can you deny that? IT’S TRUE. The most influential city my ass... And in the WORLD!? When people think America, they think New York City. The Empire State Building symbolizes motivation. The Statue of Liberty symbolized freedom. Ellis Island symbolizes liberty, a new start. The Brooklyn Bridge symbolizes strength. Ground Zero symbolizes hope. Central Park symbolizes peace in a world that is so unforgiving, in a city that is so cold-blooded. New York is too great, too influential, too overwhelming to have an answer to. Perhaps New York is not a city, but an empire.

Oh, and Milkytoast, I’ve stayed in London for 2 months, Paris for a week, Moscow for a week, and Italy numerous times because my grandparents are from Naples, Italy. Out there, Hollywood has zero influence. They do not care.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milky, without New York you wouldn’t have a job. Put it that way. Without New York, Laguna Beach wouldn’t have a TV channel to air on. Without New York, Laguna Beach would get no funding to film. Without New York, your television would cease to exist, Hollywood would cease to exist. We’re kind of like the big boss, you do the blue-collar filming crap, we’ll make the big revenue telling you what to do via e-mail or telephone. If American Express and financial companies bottomed out, you’d have no home therefore ending the entertainment industry leaving Hollywood with no viewers due to the fact that people have no television set because they have no home.

Hey, it's no joke. The earthquake was nearest to my city so obviously we're the best. We totally survived it and everything. Urban.

Nervous breakdown? More like bring-it-on fever, seeing as though I'm the only one out of you and Milky who can hold an argument.

And how can you even agree with Milky? The most meaningful city? I mean come on, let's not get carried away. Even your beloved Westsidelife will agree with me on that, as he said NYC and London are equal in terms of importance and also the Capitals of the World.

Sticking to the original idea, and holding to the notion that three will remain, I do think it's possible- that one will drop off in the future. Nothing remains the same, and out of the three, New York will be the first to drop out. Oh, as the positions of Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles will have to be decided on by fate, it is also fate that drops New York like a potato. The Empire state indeed! Remember the British empire, and other sure bets from the past and you will realize this is inevitable. New York is the oldest and most established of the three and therefore the most vulnerable. Age, corruption and the innability to maintain the infrastructure will bring it to fourth, and then fifth place in the coming 100 - 150 years. The rather provincial and outdated culture of New York will not keep this unfortunate event from occuring. Actually, it will accelerate the process. The physical vulnerability of the location, chosen at a time that couldn't conceive of the realities of the 21st century, has me worried for it. Sticking all of its eggs on a skinny little sandbar in the middle of a river used to convey a protective, fort like mentality. Now, it's just vulnerable. America will come to realize this in the coming years, and reinvest elsewhere for the security of the country as a whole. I've said it before; never put all of your eggs in one basket. 80 years from now, Los Angeles will hold the #1 spot, Chicago second and New York third. Houston will jump on a little later and New York will drop to fourth. It's science.
