You can't compere other cities to GREAT places like Pittsburgh and State College. Get a clue buddy, because you obviously don't have one.

Well this was in response, to other posts, you made, I make no comment on the particular sports program, and yes I can compare other cities, the fact is many others have seen the bias and flip-flopping in your posts about places.

You were wrong on nearly 5-10 points , everything from claiming the market was doing well until Obama took office, when the economy actually tanked in 08, to crime and racism, to flipping the other side of the coin when no one was defending or using Washington dc as a model city for diversity. You just can't admit it, but at least the posters know,

I welcome the opportunity to admit you were wrong and misconceived , but you won't on those facts

I'd say your biased and obviously a huge NoBama supporter. Have fun with your socialism if that's the case. I'll keep my money, guns and freedom and you can keep your "change". I judge places by sports, athletics, outdoors/adventure type of lifestyle, opportunities, events and jobs in those fields. Plus, I'm not wrong about the race issues in DC and NYC. My one company in DC/NoVa treated blacks like dirt. I saw it on a daily basis. Very white, but very powerful firm. Don't kid yourself with these things. And how in the heck am I flipping or turning the coin on anything? I'm not following you here at all with that one. You come across as a must live in a big city and that's everything in life type of person, or that the only places that matter are on the far east or west coast? If it wasn't for family and friends, I'd take off for Montana, Wyoming or South Dakota ANYDAY. World class fishing, skiing, snowboarding, running, trail running, hunting, rock climbing, etc.

Again, flipping the other side of the coin , I never said nova was the diverse racially tolerant place, but many people there are racially tolerant, I personally think NOVA sucks , not the worst place, but overpriced homes 1.5 million doesn't get you much either in arlington va, congestion, strip malls, flatland,

its crazy, they are even tearing down "west Virginia" because people can't afford to live there so they are commuting from there,

farmlands are being torn up to make way for subdivisions and suburban style homes in martins-burg,

I negated your point about pittsburgh , its probably no better than nova as to race relations, I need say no more about that other fact finding fact.

So you can't compare the two, NYC is not the same as NOVA by any stretch, transportation is much more limited too for the $.


Oh and those states, I highly doubt those activities are any different from anywhere else as people world class. Maybe you should go there, have fun to wyoming, or Montana, even Montana is becoming less conservative, Wyoming is conservative but their economy is mostly energy, and south Dakota can be argued a cesspool in many parts with meth labs although not true of all of it.

And yes , the country needs change, thus who don't think it does aren't aware and naive of the issues.

Well, at least we can agree on Northern Virginia! Geez

BTW, there's meth labs everywhere. It's a big problem in many parts of the country. Yes, it's more in the rural areas, but then you have Coke in the cities. It's a loose-loose situation no matter how you put it.

Hard drugs have been hitting this country hard, it's ashame.

South Dakota and North Dakota's economies are both 1 and 2 in the USA right now for low unemployment.

Plus, my income isn't dependent on where I live. I can earn money anywhere in what I do.

Deadwood, SD is beautiful.

However, I really like parts of Oregon more. And Montana.
