[Abaddon]

You don't watch the news?

A girl was crushed by a school bus after a boy snuck onto it and released the emergency brake (which is, on a school bus, too easy to release, in my opinion).

WTF!?

 

[NDX]

The boy was only 8, too. I think the girl was the same age.

That's because we're better than America.

I don't know BS, I never really took the time to check it out. I know we have a campus nutritionist, and I took a nutrition class in lieu of an phys. ed. class, but that's as far as my knowledge on the subject goes.

NYC controls 1.9% of the world's economy... the New York Stock Exchange goes through about 16 billion dollars worth of shares in a day... add that up and see how many trillions that adds up in a year.

... not to mention the place where Pizzerias, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Roller Coasters and Beer Brewery's all started.

Did I mention the Federal Reserve bank here holds enough gold to make Fort Knox look like a candy store?

LOL... god forbid NY ever becomes it's own country...

And people think Texans are arrogant.

And people think Texans are arrogant. :

Those cow milkers have nothing on us.

It's not arrogance.. it's FACT. Without NY this country would be even more assed out than it already is.

 

[Equint77]

side note.. I went to Chicago a few days ago on a short trip and everyone there has these cheesy mustaches.. including the women.

what the **** is up with that?

 

[Abaddon]

You saw Toven?

 

[Maxwell Smart]

What bugs me is it seems like New yorkers are so into their own world.. I dunno I guess its due to the place being so large and an island, and plus a lot of people don't own cars they just use public transportation so maybe they stay within their own area more often than a lot of people.

You guys do come across as kinda arrogant and not really understanding of other ways of life. Not that there aren't a lot of rednecks here like that its just New York City is supposd to be "better".

 

[Equint77]

You saw Toven?

who knows... I saw a lot of skinny blondes those 2 days.... hell for all I know I met her.

 

[user123456789]

hey max that's life, now stop b*tching.
