That Bebe Rexha song is trash, doesn't showcase her at all

I've travelled to most of the states and nearly all the big cities, but other than Las Vegas, Toronto was more entertaining and overall just better than any U.S. city I've been to, beating the likes of LA, NYC, Miami, Houston, etc. The cold weather there was also awesome

I said that earlier. I'm not really making a point here; I'm not trying to say that the U.S. doesn't have nice cities. I was just saying that it was similar to Canada in terms that it is very limited in scope in terms of "good" popular cities. No one really talks about any of those cities as much as they do with NYC, SD, SF, LA, Las Vegas, and Miami.

All those Texas cities are definitely growing fast but the sprawl is seriously too much and so annoying. I guess I'm just a fan of very dense areas. I love how geographically small Miami and even though traffic sucks and we still drive everywhere, it doesn't seem that bad to me (maybe it's bc I live downtown).

Toronto is just a second rate Chicago though....
Vancouver and Montreal are Canada's two golden cities. The former for the natural beauty and insane downtown area that has developed (so many high rises everywhere with foreign money)...and MTL for its obvious French culture which is nowhere to be found anywhere else like that on this continent.
But Van rains 80% of the year. And MTL has horrific winters and it's French so most of English speakers could never truly live there unless we learned the language.
It always annoyed me as a Canadian when other Canadians would praise Canada as if it was some utopia when it's literally the same **** as the states without the ammenities....

I just don't agree. Like I said, Vegas is just a tourist attraction, nobody actually lives there. And all of those cities I mentioned are all perceived as cool, high quality of life, very desirable places to live, which is why they are all among the fastest growing cities in the U.S., especially among young professionals, while cities like Miami and Los Angeles are not.

I loved visiting Miami, but I could probably never get a decent job there. There are like no science/tech jobs.
The sprawl in Houston/DFW can be intense and frustrating, but I don't mind it. The cities don't have any of the dense appeal of a New York, but I like them.

I don't think I've visited Chicago yet. I'm going on a trip to Vancouver this summer though. Really excited to go back into Canada. And I adore the rain, so that's a plus side for me (unless it's heavy).
I feel similarly about Americans how they trash talk other countries simply because they're different in government or laws. The media talks against countries outside these borders as if it's some toxic waste land. There's always something bad about another country, because they're different from the U.S. The U.S. ranks fair-to-poor in multiple ranks in things such as overall peace, education, obesity, freedom of press, human rights, crime rates, so forth. With these few statistics alone it shows this isn't near the greatest country on earth, yet no one seems to believe it.

It's really strange.
Anyway, all of the rapist supporters siding with Dr. Luke were probably raped by their uncle, probably also named Luke, so I don't really have an opinion on their actions since all of the ORS are incestuous and, like people with lupus, don't deserve to be spoken to.

No$tradamus always tries to warn the masses, but the masses never learn.
You can buy Grammys and you can buy Golden Globes—Golden Globes are notoriously easily to buy. You don't need talent to own a Golden Globe. But you can't buy Oscars. If you have a lot of money, you can buy Oscar nominations, like Harvey Weisntein does for his talentless actors (they always lose), but that's it. Anyway, it's great that Suicidga is so close to killing herself. Gaga, just lay your head down on a railway and just wait for the vibrations. I don't want her body to be found for weeks. Just a headless corpse on railroad tracks, torn apart by wildlife. It's going to be a good year.

New York is probably my favorite city in the United States, but I could only ever live there for a year or two.

I don't understand what you're disagreeing with since I'm not rebutting anything you're saying.

I really want to live in Hawaii for a year or two. It is the most interesting state in America. Every other state mostly looks and feels the same, but that one sticks out like a sore thumb.

I don't understand this given the diversity of the U.S. landscape. 
I mean I definitely understand wanting to live in Hawaii for a year or so hehe.

Hawaii is a BILLION times better than New York City and California combined.
It's definitey the best state to live in. It's expensive, but it's worth it, kind of the exact opposite of
Nicki Minaj, who is cheap trash, an HPV-ridden prostitute, more or less, like The Bronx or Chicago.

I disagree. There are many more large, cultured, diverse, economically important, popular cities than those you mentioned.

The Bronx has wealthy neighborhoods. And the Zoo, Botanical Garden & Arthur Ave. It's culturally rich, and it's one of the most scenic parts of the city 
Staten Island however is literal trash
