Re: Philadelphia
To quote myself from earlier ... you argue a lot for someone who winks about Internet arguments.x7227 wrote:
Aaaand sometimes they're not...like when you respond to a charge of playing the PC police and the rationality/humor of suburban stereotypes (the larger argument to which I was referring) with an ad hominem attack in an attempt to marginalize my argument.
btw I didn't see you playing PC police when Beach was cracking about GA and Haverford students (and I'll leave alone the fact that you responded to a charge about a group of people by holding yourself out as a paragon of virtue for half of those folks... wonderful, wonderful argument right there)
But you're right... I don't know anything. Great last dig. Thanks for putting me back in my place... on the internet... in a forum... that doesn't matter... filled with people who are super serious... about everything...

Re: Philadelphia
I have written very sparingly in my responses. That must mean I am really serious about this. And the 9400 other posts I have written here in the last 2 years. Yes, must be.InGoodFaith wrote:I, for one, am offended by the implication that we take everything seriously.

I would say greater Philadelphia has fared the recession comparatively well. Things aren't going swimmingly, but we're in a lot better shape than a lot of places.InGoodFaith wrote:I stand corrected. Then again, when I think of Philly...

Philly proper has shitty public services. Philly suburbs run the gamut.
Philly has a very strong inner suburban core. As for the outer suburbs, there is definitely some sprawl, but the hills help break things up a bit--not like Florida, which is flat as a pancake.

No, because it would be hilarious and probably lead to a more enjoyable time if you're anything like you are on the internet.tarp wrote:Why? Are you scared?beach_terror wrote:I suggest we all pick one place but tell tarp a different place.

Oh okay, I thought it was because you talked so much trash on this online forum and, not knowing that I couldn't care less about what someone says on the Internet, you're scared I would hold it against you.

No, I generally don't give a shit what people think of me on the internet. You've said some pretty stupid shit about me and made some pretty rash generalizations which I would hold against you though.tarp wrote:Oh okay, I thought it was because you talked so much trash on this online forum and, not knowing that I couldn't care less about what someone says on the Internet, you're scared I would hold it against you.

At first I saw this thread hanging around, I thought no good could come of this. Then there was talk of a party and I thought we could all bury the hatchet and make up. Aaaaannnd then it went back. I had such high hopes for us all.beach_terror wrote:No, I generally don't give a shit what people think of me on the internet.

For this party to occur... EtOH is definitely required.

Agreed. Let's give tarp a fair chance. If he turns out to suck, we can always make a collective effort to abandon him while he's in the bathroom or something.x7227 wrote:At first I saw this thread hanging around, I thought no good could come of this.

I'm good. One too many ad homeniums.There's other stuff I'd rather be doing than hanging out with some guy I clearly won't get along with. Thanks for the gesture though, I guess.tarp wrote:Okay... in the interest of burying the proverbial hatchet, I hereby announce that I will buy beach_terror a beverage of his choice* if this shindig actually occurs.
