However, I do NOT agree with wishing "California would fall off the other side". I don't understand how you could list Florida as an example of a state that is beautiful in its physical surroundings when it has nothing but humid soggy flat swamp land, while California has the most beautiful coast, mountains and desert in the states. It is definitely beautiful in its physical surroundings. I agree with everything you say about New York. However, I do NOT agree with wishing “California would fall off the other side”.

Remember they are New Yorkers… they are subhuman." You don't seem to be such a nice person yourself, buddy. Yeah, there are some bastards here, but there are bastards EVERYWHERE you go--there are more people here, so there are more bastards--though I get the feeling that you'd be something like an equivilant of ten pissed off cidiots (yes, Cidiots). There are places I don't like, but I don't hope people would use them as nuke testing sites. Wow, there are so many things I want to say to your post, but I'd rather just have you IM me--it's save time. MST actually made a valid point, aside from the fact that there are racists everywhere--I'm sorry that you had to meet them, but it does happen everywhere (there was a story back from 2002 or so where a fast food place made a black man go to a colored pick up window down in Mississippi). Compared to other places, NYC isn't too bad of a place to be in terms of racial diversity--the bad part of that is the fact that you have to have money to live there and the people who live in the bad areas are usually the same people who have family born there for generations, which makes a really bad circle of poverty in racial minority neighborhoods. If the state were to fix that problem by lowering taxes, etc, things would be better. NY has very high taxes, and even the Island has clothing taxes, but when you think about it, they're not as high as California (probably)and other European countries. I think NY-ers just get a lot of shit from everyone for a lot of reasons that seem to be unfounded. I was holding a conversation with this boy on a ride down in Florida when he goes, 'where's your accent from?' when I answered NY he stopped talking to me and got out of line. A NY-er would never be so rude as to do that to a someone from Mississippi or Alabama or something, so why do people have to be rude to us? Don't let the actions of a couple influence your ideas on the state as a whole. “Objections to my plan? Remember they are New Yorkers… they are subhuman.”

At the risk of sounding very sixty-ish, I always get bad vibes from this awful place. Its' defenders also talk about the fact that it's the center of the arts, finance, etc., which is all well and good, but what does that mean to the average working class or lower income person trying to make a living in this city of exorbitant prices? There's even tax on clothing! Plus, I am a person of color and I detect alot of racial animosity there, but no one wants to talk about it. After all, this is "liberal" New York. Yeah, right. We were visiting there and my sister asked a cop for some directions and he said "go back to your corner." Also we were in Long Island once and had to use the bathroom facilities at a gas station and the gas station owner said it was broken. Then as we drove off we saw some white people walking into the bathroom. And this was a few years ago! Yes, I HATE NEW YORK! I too, hate New York.

I say, they are so paranoid they make you go through security TWICE just to get there internationally! But as you know, the hyjackers of 9/11 came from flights from other airports... Boston, etc. So. Here is my solution. I hate New York as much as I hate Los Angeles. so... solutions? Give it back to the Dutch. But they would probably just infect it with small pox... again. OR... all Nations... including and not limited to North Korean, Iran, Iraq... oh wait, they never had any ballistic missiles... but still nice to include them, can use New York City as a calibration test range. in the even of a total commitment thermo nuclear war, NYC and Los Angeles can be useds as a calibration point. All nations will simultaneously launch as many as their ICBMS as possible. And the Soviets... er... Russians can use the SS17 "Sickle" 40 Megatoner... Or record a black man being beat by a white,or appear to be white, cops. Total break down will be about 4 days... the looters and rioters will take care of it for us! Just hold back the police, Fire, Ambulance, and National Guard. In about 7 days... bingo! You can plant trees, and waaaaaLA! You have yourself a National Park! Maybe clear up the constant pollution! Objections to my plan? Remember they are New Yorkers... they are subhuman. as the comments seem to agree with you perception of New York, NY.

It still is the big ugly. But, nearly every city over, say, 250,000 people is like that in the Northeast. It's cities are the most unfavorable place in the U.S. for worthwhile people. In fact, most American cities, period, contain some of the worst, ugliest in demeanor people in the world. The excuse of being unhappy can only go so far when it's obvious they like being hostile and obnoxious. It’s understandable to hate the city of NY for the sheer volume of unpleasant, nasty people.

I respect the opinions (negative or positive) particularly of people who grow up or have to visit there, and I personally understand the love/hate aspect of it; but it's wonderul especially for young adults like me. I was born in L.A. but grew up practically my whole life outside of Houston, TX and I can honestly say that any and every major American city has rude and wicked and crazy people and those who will try to run over you. It's more profound here in ny because of the amount of people and the close proximity. I admit that ny, (as well as la) sometimes attracts freaks and rich snobs from all over the world but you don't have to have anything to do with them. When I see someone acting crazy I simply and gracefully walk by like they weren't even there. The city is safer now than the very first time I went in 2000 and the red light district has been curved in Times Square I've noticed. I want to live in manhattan the rest of my life, well as long as I'm able to defend myself from muggers. Again, I respect everone's opinion because it's not a place for everyone but then again it's a place FOR everyone. Come on, THIS IS THE CENTER OF THE WORLD!!!

It's not necessarily its ugliness, though extreme pollution, skyscrapers, and traffic jams are not advantages by any means. I am referring to the people. Granted there are some really nice people in my building, but the majority of people you encounter while completing daily tasks are miserable human beings at best. I have never been to a place where the people are so rude, and I believe NY'ers think of this as their defining characteristic. Since when is it 'cool' to treat people poorly? These people should be ashamed of themselves. I have learned through my travels and observations of human beings (I am a Master's student in Poli Sci) that people act this way because they are unhappy. Why are they unhappy? My guess is they are overworked, overcrowded, and obsessed with material objects society says will make them happy which is obviously untrue. Unfortunately people will beg to differ and that is fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I understand what is right for one may not be right for another. I am counting the months, 11, until I am finished with my degree and can leave this place. I apologize if you took offense to my post.
