Is Vancouver A Shithole?

Wrong assumption. Money was not an issue, if anything, my disposable income was higher while there. It was putting up with people who have never been more than a couple hundred miles from their place of birth, have no interest in the rest of the world and can't understand why anyone else doesn't think Nova Scotia is the best thing since sliced bread.InTheBum said:
On the other hand, as a Californian, you could probably relate to that mindset.
I have a very good friend who is a fisherman,originaly a Nefie,just sold his house in the lower mainland for just alittle over 500 G's and is now building a palace back home with money to spare as he works the summers/fall here during what good runs we might have.
I know multiple people in Vancouver, some of which earn well above average ...between 60 to 250k a yr. They all state Vancouver is the greatest, yet I don't see them travelling past Kelowna yr in yr out! So, your experience in Halifax is no different than mine in Vancouver.rickoshadows said:
For that, you revived a thread that had been dormant for 10 months?HAHAHAHAHA!!! He obviously hates his life.
Three things to say...
1) Vancouver is too small to be a true shithole, it's more of a zit, however, many Vancouverites don't realize how small Vancouver is, and act like it's big enough to be a shithole. (and I'm sure they'll all come oozing out to complain about or attack this comment, too).
2) For some reason people seem to be dragging out ancient threads for no apparent reason the past couple of months. I've pointed it out before and maybe I'll start a new thread asking "Why do people drag out ancient threads for no apparent reason?"
3) If they ban for racist comments, I guess the fact that I've never been banned for it says something about those who are constantly calling me a racist, doesn't it?

I imagine InTheBum is now trying to figure out a way to get back to the forum while slurring out words such as "Ch**ks" and "G**ks."
You do know that I don't live in Vancouver, right?Vancouver is shithole when petty "know-it-alls" like jjinvan live here.
Correction,
anywhere would be a shithole if petty "know-it-alls" like jjInVan lived there.
Pretty slick there with the handle, you had me.
Vancouver may be a beautiful city (but too much fucking rain), but if it were practical for me to get up and move, I'd rather live in (no specific order):
1. Calgary, Alberta
2. Montreal, Quebec
3. Las Vegas, Nevada
4. Tampa (Bay), Florida
5. Seoul, Korea
6. Hong Kong, China
7. Shanghai, China
8. Tokyo, Japan
9. Yokohama, Japan
10. Singapore, Singapore
11. Paris, France

Ahh, the great Canadian passtime, slagging the city you live in. And the only place worse than that is any other place in Canada. Lighten up for Odin's sake, have a beer, a hoot, a blow job or whatever the hell you need to actually relax and have fun. I'm in Winnipeg. I like it here. Lot's of other places are great too, but I'm here and having a hell of a good time. If you still don't like where you are, move, or at least do us a favour and shut the fuck up about it.
George, are you sure about HK ?

You can feel the pollution on your skin in some places. I was there in March ( I know better than to go during summer) I would hide in my relatives' place during the day and went out at night for cleaner air and to not see smog.
If I had to move, it would be a to small town in Northern China.

cant agree more. i grew up there - and i dont miss it one bit. i had been back both for visits and summer work when i was an architecture student...phewwwh, couldnt get out of there fast enough.
the only good thing going is being so close to Maucau - i do miss those Finnish baths and MPs and the Ruuuskies working the hotels...
I'll change it eventually...Pretty slick there with the handle, you had me.
Probably faster than VanIslandLisa (was that her name I forget?) changed hers, LOL.
Now if this was reversed and JJ made that comment Creole would be lipid, frothing at the mouth and JJ would be banned. I know sp’s are favored here because they fill Fred’s pockets but mods this sp really does need to be put in place and brought down a notch or two, especially with the recent 4 hobbyists coming forth providing the info that was posted then deleted last week.Vancouver is shithole when petty "know-it-alls" like jjinvan live here.
