And it's all relative to where you're coming from in your perspective and point in life...and people seeking information will understand that. No place on Earth is complete paradise...however...some places are much better than others. That's why Las Vegas grew in population so much, and I do think it's continuing to grow in residents.


Your status tells a lot about where your thoughts are, I wish you all the best of luck and hope you can get back to Long Guyland, if that's where you want to be. IMHO gawd awful place btw, Las Vegas is paradise compared to there, I have family "trapped" in both Nauseous and Suffolk Counties...

Excellent post MomMom. I escaped LI in 1988...and have never looked back.

I never said the people were bad, I only wondered if it were the best of choices for my children, based on the fact that everything is open and out there. I never said things don't happen elsewhere. I never said crime and sex and drugs were exclusive to Las Vegas. I never said the people were bad by virtue of living there. I never said anyone was stupid or naive, either. I only asked if the people that lived there could tell me if I SHOULD be concerned about the in your face aspect of Las Vegas, from their experience.

They have good information to offer if people care to bother sifting through their insults and attitudes. A lot of what they say makes sense, and I have been helped by it because I did sift.

They want people to move there to bring up their property values. They don't care about the people and their kids. I know this. So thanks, I appreciate you! But I took what I needed from it and left the rest and you can too Hugs!

You are most welcome !

And after reading the multiple replies in this thread since i posted in page 1 i can see where you are coming from in your initial reply. Its great to see Las Vegan's or anyone for that matter have so much pride in their city

Do they call people here "Vegans"? Is a huge buffet considered a "vegan diet"?

[dynimagelv]

[Buzz123]

We'uns is Vay gans, capital 'V'. Duh food is vee gan, small 'v'.

Vegans can be vegans too.
