I say Tokyo because I want to migrate to tokyo one day.Even though Thailand's just above my country,I'd say Tokyo anyway.

Anyway, Colorado Springs is pretty cool in my opinion.

Yes, how could he have omitted those world-famous pivots of culture and population. I mean, who doesn't want to go to Helsinki? For that matter, how could he have left Tallinn out? :rolleyes2 Seriously, the only major places I can think of him ommiting are Prague and Beijing. Possibly Dubai.

Clearly NYC, as Rye says.

I'll go for Tokyo just because I know I'd get along better with them than with anyone in those other cities. New York City is a VERY close 2nd.

New York City is a great city, but way overrated.

Ditto, but I figured I'd vote to keep it in Canada.

why oh why is London, England winning this poll? Ok so I voted London but I guess I have to since I have only ever been to London on that list (I've lived here for all but about 1 year in my life a while in west brom when I was 3 and about the same again in essex)

You might as well change the Poll to " What City Do You Come From "
It's might as well be "What city do you want to come from?" for all the little Japanophiles out there.

Quina
06-04-2006, 06:38 PM
I am sorry for your city not being in the list. I will try to include it next so you will only have to hate me for six months.

ok London = Awesome? wow thats gotta come from someone who doesn't live here. In london you get gangs of 14 yr old kids who think they are all big and tuff try and mug you and if you are lucky you get it at knife point too. London the place where anything can be brought or sold including lives for a price. London the place where gun crime is almost as common as in America. London where when you need a police officer there are none anywhere and when you don't need them they're all over the show and you can't get away from them. Take it from one who knows London sucks ass.

I haven't been to the vast majority of those, so I can only really choose between those I've experienced. From what I've seen, London and NYC are about as awesome as each other, but in London you can do cool stuff at a younger age, which gives it the edge.

Your overexaggerating a bit there. Im not going to lie and say London is safe, but your making out like you cant take two steps without being a victim of crime. The city section is mainly what im highlighting, there are alwasy dangerous parts of cities, I guess London's is its South and East sections. But as you said, 14 year old gangs hang around these parts, the fact that your scared of KIDS makes you seem like a wuss.
Your only a victim of gun/knife crime if your in the wrong area, you can just avoid these areas, its common sense.
If your not some dumb tourist , then you would be fine.
Oh, and I'd recommend you read Shauna's post above.

Anybody who says that in sincerity doesn't actually know what happens in England these days.

Frankly, I am rather concerned when I have to walk through a pack of feral inbreds, most likely armed (Though I have no right to be), most likely high or drunk, and completely lacking in any moral code or even concept of fearing someone a good foot taller and hundred pounds heavier than you.

The reason people are scared of kids in England is because a fair number of them are psychopathic little wankpieces who will mug you as soon as look at you. Moreover, any attempt at protecting yourself will get YOU arrested.

But that aside, London isn't even close to being the best city. It's ugly, dirty, and doesn't have skyscrapers worth discussing.

When has skyscrapers been the key factor to a good city. There just there for show in my opinion. Skyscrapers usually are very dull buildings, when I see New York, all I see is....

Big Building, Big Building, Big Building, Big Building with a slanted roof, Big Building, Big Building with a curved roof etc

The architecture in London is way better, more intresting and more individual.
As for youths, really, come on. A grown man scared of kids ? Ive never been hassled in London, well never been hassled just for the sake of getting robbed. You lot seem scared to fight back, geez.....
