LOL all this talk about who is the hardest, who is the toughest.... it's nothing more than a fabrication of the record execs to bilk the affluent kids in the suburbs of their not-so-hard earned cash. And you, my friend, have bought in earnestly. You've been gaffled son!

haha, so true! This is coming from a real "toughguy" too, literally, so listen up kids.....

seriously though, this BS about raps stars, crime rates, and attitudes is so ridiculous. No one looks at that crap as some badge of honor and it doesn't make a region a better place to live at all.

They make Italians look like whimps when it comes to grit and anger.

I dont usually get into this crap especially since I am from the east coast and love NY. But that statement right there is rediculous. I take serious offense with that. It takes alot to get me going, but I'd like you to say that to me or any of my boys. We'd beat you like a red headed stepchild. thats all im gonna say about that, but you should show respect for what you know nothing about. Ending this argument, If you seriously want to find out, we can do that, otherwise I'll leave it at that. You make it hard for someone from your same coast to side with you with that crap spewing from your mouth.

Definitely West Coast here------------if I had to choose between it or the I-95 corridor from ca. the Richmond, Va. area through Boston.

That stated: if I had to live on the East Coast-----------it would probably be North Carolina.

I am a Wash DC native who left there 30 years ago...........never to return.

In defense of NYC: many people have mentioned that it has improved dramatically since its nadir ca. 1980.

No I haven't. By no means am I a criminal. I like hip hop, but I don't committ crimes. I don't even have a traffic ticket or even a warning. My record is sparkling clean. But it annoys me when people come in and try to act like New York is soft. Every so-called gangbanger in the country would **** their pants if they got on the bad side of the Russian Mob, Italian Mob, Irish gangs, or terrorist organizations that are settled here in New York. THe crime may be lower, but by no means is New York soft. The FBI hasn't caught 'em all. I have a New York Trivia book and it said in the book that an estimated 57 Russian smuggled boxes into NYC out of 63 contain grenades.

Obviously you haven't been here long enough but as I've stated before, I'm Sicilian. The 20th Century Glory Days for Italians are over. The Irish are much more into it comes to gangs these days. There's been stuff on the news about an Irish WOMEN gang beating the crap out of grown men in the city. But despite this fact, the Russians are the most brutal today.

Are people seriously saying that their coast is better because it has a higher crime rate?

But as far as your original post stating how the irish have tempers. Well you should know then that Italians do to, however, tempers doesn't equal tough. I've known a lot of guys in this life who have tempers and their real tough to their girlfriends however they wouldn't dare get out of line with someone who might actually smack the dumb out of them. uncontrollable tempers does not equate to tough, it equates to ignorance and lack of control. I appreciate the explanation however, I dont like to have beefs with people on here anyway. Plus we both love the same city and the same team...Go Giants..............
