A lot are sure, but you'd be surprised just how prideful people are about New York. It's indescribable.

exactly. what there to be proud of? a city of 18 million immigrants? from what i see in movies, tv, and newscasts, new yorkers are a *little* too proud of their city. the rest of us are like, "wtf? who cares?"

18 million immigrants = yuo are teh uninformed

#1 i think you have to have come here from somewhere else to appreciate it more.

#2 the immigrants are what makes this place so special.

if you are a typical American living in the heartland it will never make sense

haha, anybody see that King of the Hill episode where it turns out Hank was born in NYC and he totally freaks out? fucking rules.

 

[dorian gray]

yeah, it IS the financial center of america but what right does that give irish immigrant #615,000,000,000 to have an attitude of superiority? what makes NY any better than say any of those eurasia cities with ridiculous populations? you guys should stage a battle with hong kong. itd be funny.

18 million immigrants = yuo are teh uninformed

population of NY metro area = 18 million.

the best feeling I ever had was when the WTC was still up and they had this bar on the top floor ... Greatest Bar on Earth it was called or soemthing ...

nothing like being up there on a Friday nigth, dancing to Swing, helicopters literally hovering outsode the windows and you can see until the end of the horizon ... just lights ...
having a hot chick with you and your hram feels like ... man ... top of the heap baby ... like Sinatra said ....

and then the check came ...

 

[dorian gray]

@lurch: yeah, that does sound like fun

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

population of NY metro area = 18 million.

Yes, but not every single one of them is an immigrant! Well, not any more than every single person in the country. But you know what I mean. I think.

 

[lurch70]

explain please

its really like being all over the world ... but in one place ... the unpredictability of it all is exciting.

Exactly.

Which is why they refer to the city as being "alive."

hahaha, i only like WASPs. seriously. i cant stand any other culture than my own. welll, allright, i like catholics. alot. they rule actually.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

lollerz, you're so "middle of the country/southern"

 

[lurch70]

I am not saying I want to embrace the Hindu culture just because I have been exposed to it ... but it is great to be able to be exposed to it.

heheh, i know what you mean. not many people can say they had a hand in founding this country though. im here because my family fought in the revolutionary war. it drives me nuts when millions of beaners, europeans, and aians pour into this country every year and dont do shit. yeah, im generalizing greatly but i think you know what i mean. i personally didnt do shit either so fuck me too.

i was exposed to indians in engineering school. they smelled bad and didnt know that you let people get off an elevator before you get on. that is unforgiveable.
