Poll question: Big cities do not define America, small towns do!
But, if that's true, why are there huge metropolii?

Why do people move from small towns to big cities and make them even bigger and stay there?

3. Absolutely right!
I mean, do people go see movies made in big city Los Angeles? No, they go see movies produced by little old Hollywood. And who would ever look to New York City for the new fall fashions? Those things are decided in teeny, tiny Manhattan, which isn't even incorporated as a city!

There. Freeper logic at its finest. You have all been served.

5. HA! If that were true, candidates wouldn't be fighting for high
population States. I don't see any big battles to get the electoral votes of MY, AK, etc. But I sure do see a battle for FL, PA, OH, MI!!!!!

10. Small towns have lower educated
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 03:58 PM by norepubsin08
not as refined people...when people spend more time in a big city, they find out that it has so much more to offer, you're not being watched and judged and the people are more sophisticated and smarter! It also has better job and educational opportunities.
