What course taught you how to conjugate "despeak"? Esperanto?

Experience with illiterate rednecks living here can teach one to comprehend this and more, like all your writings, since you use words like "despeakadly"

This thread has gotten rather sick and gross.
I know that sparring can be fun and i've engaged in it too but encouraging someone like this (who is so mentally unstable and troubled and disturbed) is probably not the most helpful (to her) thing to do.
Arguing with someone who is clearly extremely imbalanced is absurd.
What's the point?
It's not informative and it's not creative and it's just feeding her (and our own) baser nature.

Threads like this always get ugly and nasty, but the greater question is why do people from certain cities get this attitude that they live in a perfect place? Sure, you can love where you live and be proud of your city, but don't act like it's perfect in the sense there is no reason to go anywhere else, or that nowhere else could even compare to your city in any way.

Negatives of SF: very high crime and a very high homeless population for its size; filthy dirty streets, lack of green spaces, very high-priced, sits on a earthquake epicenter zone, lack of diversity (i.e., seems everyone thinks the same: provincial, far-left snobs, which is not at all the case in NYC), very run-down housing for the everyday Joe as well as architecture (except restored Victorian homes), dangerous for pedestrians, etc.

Positives: quirky attitude, pretty views around the city, some interesting food joints, etc, the eerie fog and the maze of hills (perhaps a little charm to that)


I lived in Sydney, Australia for two years and thought it was very overrated, and, imho, it is not nearly as beautiful as they say it is.

You are most welcome. Just trying to be a bit more fair and objective while attempting to see the forest for the lack of all those SF trees.

The trees in SF are weird and knobby, like they got them from another star system at discount rates.

The city, SF, is owned managed by middle aged gay white men and 60+ Lesbian " manly " women. Liberal thinking is so high, it's like anything goes, no rules ... A lot of kinky sexual activities happen every day, downtown, in mega/super rich high rise Condos occupied by anything goes gay men and lesbian women ....

I know a well known and famous " straight " Actor who has free for all parties, and nudity is highly encouraged.

Heterosexual men and beautiful feminine women who want to feel and look like a woman is almost non existent.

Frankly, I think it's extreme dominating free thinking, unless you're gay, then you fit in ... if you will.

Peace

I think SF is a very overrated city to launch a career in unless living in poverty is your style. I know someone who took a job that pays $32k a year before taxes in SF and they have to live with four other people in the tenderloin.

Watching all your money go towards rent, taxes and food must be a highly rated experience.
