They're comments are so horrible. Like, wishing that all of LA will soon to fall into the ocean? What's up with that? I've never read a reader comment in an article, in which someone from LA wishes that people in Wisconsin will soon all die from a tornado? Seriously, I love LA so much and I don't why some folks in this country have to hate on this city so much? Oh, it also seems like there's a lot of LA haters in Texas and Nevada?
OP I know your life is miserable, but how many more anti-midwest/chicago/south/west/not-LA trolling rants do you need to make? You had a sucky life in Chicago. We get it. Your very angry about it. We see that. LA awesome, everywhere else lame. Again, we hear ya. Now, can you go find a new hobby or something?

This is so true. It's all jealousy.

I'm sorry you're regretting your move back to the wonderful state of Wisconsin. But don't take it out on me that you're second guessing your relocation to the dairy state. My life in Chicago didn't "suck" for your information, you have no idea who I am. I have good memories of friends back there, it makes me sad sometimes, I miss them. Anyway, this post wasn't about Chicago. Soooo, I'm thinking maybe it's you that needs a hobby. I hear ice fishing is popular in Wisconsin.

No I don't care to know who you are, but I only point it out because your threads are all the same schtick: childish trolling to p1ss people off. Obsess much? You even started the same thread topic twice in this same forum. Can you not find another tree to bark up?

Anyways, to answer your original *question* (assuming you actually wanted an answer), why so many people hating on the big LA?? In all honesty: take a look in the mirror, re-read some of your own posts. If you still can't figure it out, you never will.

It's cause, let's face it, we are a pretty godless bunch.

Same reason they hate NYC and Northern California.

I had to look at your post twice. The first time I read it as:

"It's cause, let's face it, we are a pretty godess bunch."

I almost gave you a "You go girl!".

I can't speak for the attitude toward LA in the South. I have only been to Florida on vacation (20 years ago) and do not know anyone there.
I agree with this for the most part. I haven't met too many SD haters but SF people take the cake. I'm from Midwest and most people from midwest unless they are from Chicago, love LA. Most of the people I meet that aren't from here are from Midwest, it's the classic story out here, "I moved here from midwest to make it big".
