It wouldn't make sense to compare Seattle to Dixieland either, knowing it's the complete opposite.

To the original point I wanted to make. A lot of people really do pick on BRG, to my understanding the kid is still in high school and you guys should give him a break.

He may think Indianapolis really is the most impressive city in the world...but most of you fall within 3 standard deviations of this. Admitting that Indy doesn't offer the urban experience of NYC, but it has ethnic food and art galleries, so it's really not that different and Marion County went for Obama by 0.9% in 2008 so Indy is really liberal too just like those cities.

Marion County went for Obama at about a 2:1 ratio (63% to 37% or thereabouts). Not that it means anything whatsoever.

BRG actively trolls on other cities' forums and raises their ire good and plenty, and yes, they actively blame him for it--the exact same behavior you're trying to excuse in him at this point, because of youth...but a person has to grow up at some point. Frankly, the problem usually IS reflective of the character of the person doing the finger-pointing, and it's ridiculous to suggest otherwise. Should Seattle or Indy or Missoula or Butt Scratch Oklahoma seek to change themselves because one person blasts them on a petty little internet forum? Seriously...

That doesn't change the fact that most of the Indy posters still fall within 2 standard deviations of BRG's well-known baseline.

Mid-sized city forums are generally like that, no surprises there.

Most of you are closer to BRG than you think. 2 standard deviations max.

Do you even know what "standard deviation" means? Relative standard deviation is much more meaningful if you ask me...

I am honestly starting to think you have no idea what you're talking about. All you do is repeat the same exact statement over and over again expecting it to mean something. You should apply for a position at Fox News.

By "Indy" do you properly mean Indianapolis or Indiana, because...I have not seen this AT ALL. What I have seen in Indianapolis is an inner-city cesspool getting darker and darker, bleaker and bleaker, full of loose lipped, hostile, narrow-minded, arrogant, entitled Blacks and Browns, along with a good share of ignorant Whites.

Given this post, I think we can all safely assume you include yourself in that category of narrow-minded, arrogant, hostile, and ignorant?
