and if that is all you ever encountered then the only thing you did here was
to be a tourist in all the tourist places or simply have not understood nyc

you haven't been here yet.

There is not enough money in the world to get me to live long-term in
Noo Yawk Sitty. OTOH I have stayed there a few months at a time on
several occasions, working and playing tourist.


oh yeah: we don't lynch people here.

Really?

Last time I looked, there were bigger skinhead groups in the major metro
areas (definitely including NYC which has several KKK chapters) than in
rural areas.

its ok: stay "down" the if you don't like the city, we don't need ya.

Last time I was there, I noticed a tremendous lack of productive
farmland in downtown Noo Yawk. What do ya'll eat that isn't brought in
from elsewhere? And where does your drinking water come from?

"Its easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern
America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities
they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are
completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be
made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it."
--P. J. O'Rourke

OTOH it seems that a lot of New Yorkers have pulled their heads out of
their orifices and noticed that there is something worthwhile about the
rest of the world, and the people too. They seem to be making an
impression, too.
