Stereotyping!!??! Memphis is the third most crime ridden city of 500,000 or more in the country according the chart we have been discussing in this thread. How is it stereotyping?

How often do you travel to Memphis? I have a nasty habit of actually seeing places and experiencing them instead of taking statistics as gospel. Personally, I would rather be homeless in Memphis than living in the nicest house in Nashville.

Which was taken in 1996. I guess we should just take decades old statistics to prove points today. I bet TCHFCATUTK loves your way of thinking.

When was the last time you lived in New York or Miami? How often do you travel? Just because the knuckle draggers in Trashville say it's so, doesn't make it fact. New Yorkers hear Memphis, they think Sun Records, The Three Six Mafia, and Al Green. The same people hear Nashville and think Billy Ray Cyrus, Hee Haw, and Winona Judd.

I was in NYC for the U.S Open in September. I do not recall anyone bringing up the cultural superiority of Memphis. I am in Naples for about a month every year where I talk with plenty of folks from Miami. I can't say I've heard the subject come up there either. I will be in Miami in July. Maybe I'll take poll?

If you're in Naples, you're not talking to Miamians.

Following my last job change about three years ago, I have not had to go to Memphis and, therefore, I do not go there. Obviously, you like Memphis. That's great. Similarly, you seem to dislike Nashville. That's fine too. None of that has any effect on the fact that Memphis has a severe crime problem that does not exist anywhere else in Tennesee.

Go to the FBI site. Look at the past few years and take population into account and Nashville and Memphis are pretty similar in crime stats. Not much difference between the two. You can actually add the law enforcement areas of Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Clarksville together and all three don't come close to either Memphis or Nashville.

Don't crush Hillbilly's delusion of how great and pristine Trashville has become. That's just cruel to present him with the facts.

Why do you hate Nashville so much? I'd hate to know what you would think of the place I grew up.

As I've stated many times on here, the main problem with Nashville is the majority of the people who live there. They are caught up in this fantasy that Mullet City is this world class metropolis, when in fact, it is simply a quaint, culturally irrelevant town.

Well at least you have boiled it down to the facts.

Oh. Well, I can see that I guess. Most people I know could care less if it's some metropolis.

You are being completely hipocritical when you slam one town based on generalizations while defending another based on generalizations. I am very curious to know whether you chose to live in Maimi for the easy access to coacaine or for the large gay community? Both maybe?

Latin women and a very nice salary were the main factors in my relocation. Cocaine? Did you fall asleep in 1984 and wake up yesterday? It's all designer drugs these days. Get with the program.

I'm not using generalizations. My comments about Nashville are based strictly on my dealings with Nashvillians.

Which are blatant generalizations. I don't personally know a single Nashvillian who has a mullet, or even thinks that the place is some amazing metropolis. They are just happy to have a good place to live where they aren't afraid to walk down the street.

Spend three years in law school with a bunch of them. Also, be forced to go there on business on a regular basis. They're tools. Also, as Hillbilly was forced to admit, the crime statistics for Trashville and Memphis aren't that different. Thus, either Memphis isn't that bad or the folks in Mullet City who think they're safe are fools. Given the people I'm talking about, it's probably more the latter than the former.

the amount of tools in nashville is astounding, and the closer you get to vanderbilt and belmont, the more glaringly obvious it becomes.

That just means you're spending your time with people just like yourself when you go to Nashville. I associate with some great people that live there.
