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.

not saying they aren't there, just saying the tools vastly outnumber them.

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

I would assume you are a person opposed to stereotyping and generalizations. Oh, except when it works for you. Utterly ridiculous.

How is it a generalization to have been to a place, found the people to be garbage, then state your observations?

So you have actually met the majority or even a large portion of the people of Nashville and interacted with them? Thus knowing the people for the most part are "garbage", whatever that means...

By your definition, everything in life would be a generalization. I've interacted with far more Nashvillians than pollsters use to reach what they feel is statistically accurate. Between work, sporting events, and political campaigns, there isn't a neighborhood in Mullet City I haven't been in at some point. I stand by my assessment of the character of most of the inhabitants.

No it wouldn't, but I guess your ability to accurately name call would be severely hampered by it. Tell me, where do the magical boundaries occur that create where the citizens become garbage or cease to become garbage. You can stand by it all you want it just makes you look foolish. I have seen many of your posts and have come to the conclusion that you are adamantly opposed to racism, that is great. But throwing down these nonsense characterizations of people based on where they live is about as sensible as basing your opinion on someone by the color of their skin.

Nashville is stereotyped no doubt.That doesn't mean that everyone in Nashville is like that though.I know people on here hate Vandy but the reality of it is they rank high in medical school,school of psychology, and I'm sure school of law and engineering as well.I just think the agruments don't hold much water when it comes down to it, trying to stereotype all of Nashville.Sometimes Hat, I think you unwittingly undermine the Tennessee School of Law, because the attorneys I know that graduated there don't feel that way about Nashville.Several happen to be judges now, Honorable Mark Rogers,Honorable Don Ash,(who happens to be on board representing the state as well).Normally you are dead on but I wonder about Nashville, someone must have really peeved you off.

I could care less. I'm a legal resident of Williamson County. My girlfriend has a place in Green Hills and I stay there a lot. Maybe someday I'll become a Nashvillian, maybe not. It still doesn't change the fact that Memphis is a cesspool of crime, ignorance and poverty. Oh, and Miami is the only city where I've ever had a scurvy looking Hatian try to mug me in an airport elevator so I don't exactly think real highly of that little slice of paradise either.

Regardless of whether or not one loves or hates Nashville, one has to recognize that the city has a Napolean complex.

Certainly there is a booster element in Nashville that wants to present an image of the city being bigger and better than it really is. I think that is true of most every major metropolitain area.

I could not care less for Nashville or Miami or any other city. I just thought the incessant "Mullet City" comments and the like were silly and ignorant.

Isn't that true of any capital city? Atlanta, Raleigh, Frankfort, Columbus, Columbia, Little Rock... all are filled with insufferable asses who think their city's sewage doesn't stink.

Nashville is hardly a major metropolitan area.

You offered 6 out of 50. I could easily offer up Topeka, Jefferson City, Montpelier, Omaha, Carson City, etc., etc. as the antithesis to that claim.

Nashville does not have the complex because it is a capital city. It has the complex because it is The Home of Country Music. While I enjoy country music, it is hardly something that makes a city nationally prominent.

Excuse me, metropolitan area. And believe me, there are plenty of people here who are not into the courty music scene. In fact, it was almost in it's death throes in the late 80s and then Garth Brooks showed up and pumped life back into it. It's cyclical, like most elements of pop culture.

If you're getting mugged by "scurvy looking Haitians," you might want to toughen up a little.

I am supposed to rethink my position because two elected judges from Middle Tennessee don't rip Nashville? I think not. Next.

I don't agree with you trashing Nashville but I do agree with your opinion(not very high) of Bredesen you once made, as I recall.He did pull off quite the charmer when he basically screwed Tennessee factory workers over on their workers compensation allowed if they were to become injured on the job.Cut it down to about 1/3.I can't ridicule him too much though without bringing our former(now lobbyist) governor Don S. into the picture though.I still can't figure as much as he was involved with J. Stamps, who happens to be locked up now (for 4 years), managed to stay out of jail himself.I do recall a ceratin someone (not I) being at a certain table one night and one or the other was offered a 2500.00 front row ticket to the Tyson fight.Bribery?Crooked?You be the judge.
