Yeah, nice troll, red_dog. You obviously have no clue what a "ghetto" is if you think the east side of Portland is one!!!

I agree wholeheartedly with Red Dog that Seattle is truly a fantastic city, that's why I live here.

But I don't see the need of insulting our neighbors to the south to make your point. Plus I'm not sure who you are arguing against. I have never heard anyone say Portland was "better" than Seattle. Two entirely different places.

Ok, are you all done acting like 5 year olds?

Yes, Seattle is freakin awesome, but that doesn't mean I am going to live in the PNW my whole life.

I might want to live different places and experiences different areas of the country. I have already lived in the SE and NE United States, but I have never lived in the Midwest.

Just because someone moves from an area doesn't mean that area is bad. Sometimes people get bored with the same ole...same ole.

Anyways, flame away all you want. That's not gonna change my opinion on Portland being a dump compared to Seattle.

red dog, why should we stop acting like you? or are you not 5 years old yet?

when you grow up and know how to talk to people, then we will too. Personally, I enjoy being 5.

Oh for heaven sakes red_dog. You are now interested in moving to the midwest because you have been in Seattle long enough. Great..some people love to move around the country or the world from time to time.

But why may I ask, since you are thinking of possibly moving to the midwest did you feel the need to start your thread

Let's just all admit it. Red_dog did start a thread that is fun to work with. Okay, red_dog. I'll bite. How long have you lived in Seattle? Are you really just planning on moving for the sake of moving? Are you moving for work? Are you related to someone named Bunchargum?

as I was saying before Fodor's rudely interrupted me LOL, why did you feel the need to bash Portland OR? What was your point pray tell?

You love Seattle, that is great, a lot of us do. You don't like Portland, OK, some people don't. But what was your intent regarding your thread? Please explain? I don't think I saw any post where anyone was "shoving Portland down your throat" You just come across as a troll looking to stir things ups and perhaps being a bit bored with your life?

Good wishes to you wherever you decided to move to. Hopefully you will even move onto another website that will appreciate you more then most do here.

It's definitely been a week for trolls. First there was Iwannabeatexan, then mireaux7 (same troll as wannabe), and now red_dog. Who knows, maybe all three are the same troll.
