So ironic to me how a sampling of the "most initiated" of angelenos (la forum) still disappoints. What better reflection of our fair city than that?
LAB, a "serious, intellectual discussion" between you and citywatch would really lighten my mood, like watching jim carrey and jeff daniels go at it on ssp (even LA's gay people are a bit vapid) If anyone was wondering, there are actually a few angelenos on ssp with interesting posts, and so I remain in the califorum.
Just-in-Cali - it's not the optimism that offends me, it's the stupidity. My "pessimism" is directly proportional to the amount of it here. LA does not have a commonly understood identity, and we are in fact, looking to NY for comparisons. "times square of the west" being the most blatant (and sad) example of this self-consciousness.

uh huh, yeah. Your personal attacks are pretty vapid. There's nothing new or exciting about your patterns always ending in some kind of attack. Your diction is established and well understood here. It's pretty boring actually. Kinda like watching Jessie Jackson on TV racing to the next city to rant and rave about the same victimized spiel we all have come to know in a person, with a loud mouth, who wants a little recognition. Nothing you say here means anything to me. Maybe some here "bow down" to your writing style. Your wordiness may actually come off as euphemism for the obvious, but you simply have not produced any ideas that guide LA toward a positive path in your own mind. You simply state, pedantically, the obvious. Try spicing it up a bit. It might lighten me up reading it for once.
