[Renae]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Yorkers are largely optimistic about the city's future as Bill de Blasio prepares to be sworn in as the next mayor on January 1, according to a poll released on Monday.De Blasio, who will take over from Mayor Michael Bloomberg and will be the first Democrat to lead the city in two decades, won a resounding victory in November after campaigning to confront economic inequality, improve police and community relations and expand access to city services like pre-kindergarten.
Two-thirds of city voters say they are hopeful about de Blasio, while nearly six in 10 voters think he will change New York for the better, the poll by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion showed.

?????????

That "cesspool" is easily the worlds capital of culture and arts. Maybe even the worlds capital in general.

Do you always denigrate an entire region because of it`s political leadership?

Berlin`s mayor is a homosexual socialist.

I denigrate any city that get's excited for nanny state, big spending, big government types. I don't care who the sleep with, what God they pray to, what color their skin or accent they speak.

DeBlasio's gonna be a disaster, but don't take my word for it, just sit back and enjoy the... show.

And what would you say to a statement like:

I denigrate any region that get's excited for redneck attitudes, racist policies, religious fanatisism. I don't care which relative they sleep with, what apocalypse they pray for, how many teeth they have or accent they speak.

Hillbillies in politics gonna be a disaster, but don't take my word for it, just sit back and enjoy the... show.

I'm betting that you aren't missed. :0)

Not really. But then you and I have different views of what is right and wrong, moral and immoral... so I guess it takes all types.

 

[TheDemSocialist]

Not really.

Uhhh you do realize that the word "denigrate" means to criticize unfairly?

But then you and I have different views of what is right and wrong, moral and immoral... so I guess it takes all types.

Well yes. So therefore how do you know that De Blasio is "going to be a disaster" then?

 

[Renae]

I'm betting that you aren't missed. :0)

Probably correct. I've been there once, that was more then enough for me.

Meh, don't care. How's another word that fits better? Mock.

History, Socialist always lead to the same failure. It's not rocket science.

 

[BlackAsCoal]

I've been to San Antonio once .. that was more than enough for me.

.. different strokes

I'm not a huge fan of the city, we decided to elect Julio Castro as Mayor, who promptly backed Pre-K for SA. Talk about wasting money.

But whatever ever, The outlying areas are still good, like where I live.

 

[Arbo]

will be the first Democrat to lead the city in two decades,

What utter BS, boomberg is based on his policies, a leftist democrat.

?

Walk the streets, it's a cesspool, pure and simple.

 

[TheDemSocialist]

Meh, don't care. How's another word that fits better? Mock.

That would be a better word but also seem you are very narrow in your beliefs just because they elected a progressive mayor.

History, Socialist always lead to the same failure. It's not rocket science.

Well saying he isnt a socialist.. More of a progressive democrat. Mostly a Keynesian.

Just as I'm sure millions and millions of New Yorkers .. far, far more than those who live in San Antonio .. like where they live.

Every city has it`s "cesspool" parts. Thats what partialy makes cities so atractive.

Berlin wouldnt be Berlin without Kreuzberg, Vienna wouldnt be Vienna without Simmering and London wouldnt be London without Brixton.

Seems a bit warped to me, but if that's what you are into. And I am not talking about 'parts'. Most big cities, as a rule, are a cesspool, it's what happens when you put too many humans into a tiny area and all of them only care about themselves.

 

[Beaudreaux]

Detroit... I could go on, but...

Well and I could say about "most countrysides" that they are inhabited by a bunch of inbreed, toothless halfwits who have no clue about how anything outside of their village works, besides the sexual abuse of farmanimals.

But I dont.

You could say that, but you would be wrong. But saying that far too many humans, that are only concerned with themselves and their own lives, into a small area leads to a lot of bad stuff, would be correct.

Are you advocating an end to cities???????

And I dont see how I would be that much wrong considering that some of the worst right wing nuts have their origin from the countryside. One is also more likely to encounter racism and intolerance in the countryside.

I agree. I just wonder how far he'll get doing it. Will it end up looking like Detroit, for example? Hmm.

I'd add that it's a liberal cesspool.

Detroit... I could go on, but...

Arrg. You beat me to it.

 

[Arbo]

Are you advocating an end to cities???????

No, it's a good place to keep the self absorbed and uninformed population.

More ignorance….

Cities are also the best places to ensure an economic build up and for the creation of culture and arts.

I dont see my ignorance. Isn`t it so that there is hardly a rural region on this planet that is not conservative?

Because smaller towns have no 'arts', right? :roll: More ignorance.

Conservative != racism, Conservative != intolerance. Neither 'party' has a stranglehold on racism and intolerance, I have seen both from both parties, so again, more ignorance.

Considering your name, do you live there, or in the US?

I'll take this real live 'art' that you can interact with any day, over a concrete jungle of crime…
