I've never known a city pride that is so aggressive and dismissive of the rest of the country. I don't care how fucking good the city is, it's not good enough to deserve that kind of fucking attitude, and it's just gotten worse after September 11th. Just hope there's not another terrorist attack so New York can get an even greater sense of self-importance. Back when those towers went down, we should have said "We feel really bad for you, and this a tragedy and we're gonna help you out. But once that's done, you're still a bunch of douchebags, and don't forget it". That should have been the subheadline to all these feel-sorry for New York stories: "New Yorkers still arrogant assholes". That would have prevented them from thinking everyone was on their side.
I mean there's a way to be arrogant about where you're from without thinking it's the center of the world. Just go from the perspective that it's better. That I can accept. But don't think that everyone acknowledges your place. Part of a "fuck the rest of ya'll" attitude is that the rest of everyone doesn't like you. That is why I can do this and New York cannot. Fuck New York, man.
Like really it's a great city besides that. But the attitude is not to be tolerated, and makes me want to kill everyone here sometimes, with a plane if that's what it comes down to.

I visited last year, and on my way to Columbia via subway, my backpack accidentally hit a newspaper some woman was reading. Shes sitting down quite pleasantly in a chair reading the newspaper and my back pack lightly hits the paper shes reading. Its packed in the subway, what can I do. She pushes my backpack and says, "watch what you are doing!" I responded, "You live in this ridiculously populated city. Either move, or shut the fuck up you stupid bitch!"

Posted by: Lindsay at October 12, 2005 06:35 PMHey, while you guys may have had bad experiances with New Yorkers, I can say they aren't that bad, of course I don't go into the city that often... But when I do, they give me money, buy me lunch/booze, hot girls are attracted to me.
I don't see what your problem is.

Signing Clemens to go with right-hander Roy Oswalt and left-hander Andy Pettitte again gives them a legitimate Big Three once again. If Clemens, after several minor-league tuneups, proves anywhere near as good as he was last season, he will give the team precisely the lift it needs.
