All you have to do is shut the lights off and have a good imagination.

City folks don't know how to hunt so any deer we get is obviously poached. Who was the guy who told the story of a city slicker who shot a German Shepherd, bought it to a butcher thinking it was a deer? I was always wondering why police in the city always walked around with bomb sniffing deer.

So let me be the first! Booya!

Yes.

Well now you're talking about over all experience. Some places have better service, roomier seating etc. But I'm talking about purely the food itself. Yes, there are some great chefs who don't want to move to a major city. They're comfortable where they are. The best pie I've ever had (Triple Coconut Chocolate Cream Pie) was in the suburbs of Philly. But you will not get a large congregation of great chefs all moving to some small town. It just does not make logical sense. It's like saying an aspiring actor/actress wants to move to a small town hoping to bump into a producer. Not going to happen. Most chef who consider themselves good and aspire to be big will move to the city in hopes of catching fame. We also get a ton of bad chefs too. Chef who thought they were good but really aren't. Good thing, those chefs are out of business in a year and move back to their home town. Yes, there are some good chefs in small towns (like I said, those who are happy where they are) but you don't get an overall congregation like you do in a major city and you don't get the variety as you would do in a major city. You don't have a great Vietnamese chef who was the best in his small town in Louisiana before moving to NYC then walk one block over and find a great Italian chef who was the best from his small town upstate before moving to NYC. PS: Top sushi chefs will always stay at a port city. Most of the fish comes in from the ocean goes to a port city where it gets frozen and processed before being shipped to other town. Sushi is about as fresh as possible so the top sushi chefs work in a port city, goes straight to the harbor in the morning, and hand pick the fish they want. PS2: Yes, I am a Bourdain fan. Also a Zimmern fan as well. And I walk the talk too. Means I actually went out and tried the different food from different places.

Some pretty good Italian on Arthur Ave.

The new hot beds right now are Barcelona, Shanghai, and San Francisco. Las Vegas will always have great food as well. NYC, Tokyo, and Los Angeles are always contenders.

Doesn't give you better taste buds but it sure gives you more exposure.

You're missing the point. If you're a great chef and you want to make it big someday...where do you go?

1/2 Liverwurst, 1/2 Pastrami on rye sandwich from Katz Deli in NYC. You don't know sandwich until you've had a pastrami sandwich from Katz Deli. I like to throw in 1/2 liverwurst to change it up a bit. For home made hunting season sandwich, it's peanut butter and nutella on Martin's potato bread.

Morimoto, Mario Batali, and Wolfgang Puck has all been dying to make their way to small town, USA so they can make a name for themselves.

Wait...a in-state town has fresher seafood than a port city? Maybe local freshwater fish like trout, etc. yes but otherwise, I doubt it.

Geez, I've never seen that many deer together. Live or video.

He should never have been expelled and he didn't do anything wrong. What I did find funny is that in one video, his mom was saying how such a great kid is was. In the second video, all kids interviewed said how much of a trouble maker this kid is. Regardless is he is a good kid or a bad kid, he didn't do anything wrong in this case.

So much of the country's economy flows through the city. Where ever you redirect that economic flow, a new major city will pop back up. To no longer need the world's economy is to no longer be a world economic power.

This video explains it all:

If that's true then why does the rent keep increasing and we're facing a housing shortage?

My parents gave me a great deal of freedom in some area but was very strict in others. When I left for college it was like I had just gotten out of jail. I was drunk every weekend, high on any drug that was put in front of me, and drove drunk at times too. That's what happens when I was given so much freedom all at once. After I got it out of my system, I calmed down and stopped doing those things. I am sure not everyone is like me but I'm also sure there are just as many who were. All those guys and girls who lived under an iron fist...the moment they leave home and move into the city...where not only are they now away from the watchful eyes of their parents but now are presented with a buffet of available men and women to choose from...come on, you can figure it out.

I always have to click it twice regardless of which computer I'm using. The first time I click view new contents, there is nothing new. Then I click on view new contents again, and then I see all the new content.

The only difference with the kids from the city is that we have more options. With a graduating class of 40, how many members of the opposite sex can you pick from? My graduating class in high school was over 1000. If half of them were girls, that's 500 girls. If I stuck out on every one of them then I must be pretty bad. I always say...regardless of how you look and what your type is, if you keep searching, you'll eventually find someone just for you. In a city of over 8 million people, it's only a matter of time you'll find someone that you're willing to share intimacy with. "The average male **** is only 5 and 1/2 inches long. The average female **** is 8" deep. Based on that math it means there is roughly 100 acres of untouched female **** in this city and I'm going to help you find some." -by John Leguizamo

I think we are ingrained to focus on the boy as the evil perpetrator that sometimes we forget to turn out attention to the girl. Remember, unless it's rape, it takes two to tangle. Some dads tend to think their little girl won't do anything wrong and therefore keeps their eyes focus on the boy why she runs around behind them. Can't ignore the girl because she might be just as bad as the guy. Not saying they're "evil" or "slots" but every teenager and young adults (boys and girls) goes through a curious stage where they A. think they are very capable of handling themselves and B. are very curious about what the adults are doing or worst, what the other kids are doing. Many kids think their parents knows best...until they reach their teenage/young adult years. Then they think their parents are stuck in ancient times and doesn't understand the pressure of being cool in high school in 2013. They think their peers are more knowledgeable about current social norms. It's not till they become old enough to think about children do they finally realize their parents were right all along.

I have a friend. She's 32. A successful artist (her work has been featured in several ads and exhibitions) and a successful graphic designer. She also hits the bar circuit. She values herself and her body and doesn't "give it up" to who ever buys her a drink. She buys her own drink. But ever so happen, she'll spot a hunk at a bar that she likes and takes him home. To her, he was her "conquest". Would she be defined as a "sloot" or would she be defined as a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it? We as men congratulate each other when we get a hot girls phone number but we frown upon women do the same. To me, a "sloot" is someone who doesn't place a lot of value to her own body. They'll give it away for certain gains such as material things or power and influence but not because of their own sexual desires. EDIT: [Addition] - She grew up near Syracuse and her mother hunts. She's not a "down stater".

Wish you a successful and speedy recovery.

It is 2013 but virtues still lives in this day and age though not as prevalent. My oldest niece is in that stage where she's trying to discovery herself and the world and "thinks" she's mature enough and knows enough to go out there on her own. Basically what most young adults think. She recently started dating and it's definitely got me and my brother stressed. (Her mom left when she was younger and my older bro is a bit of a slacker so me and my parent do some of the raising) Two weeks ago she stayed out later than her curfew to attend some party with her boyfriend. And yes, I threaten physical harm on that boy. The funny thing about it was that the boy didn't do anything wrong. I knew it was my niece who wanted to stay out late. But I couldn't hurt her. So instead, we only yelled and grounded her but we threaten physical harm on the boy. Oddly enough, the irony is that when I was her age, my parents let me stay out with a girl much later. They always figured I could handle myself. If I was intimate with a girl, they simply demanded that I act responsibly, made sure I didn't get her pregnant, and be respectful to her. Yet my niece will get chained to her bedroom if she did even half the things I was allowed to do as a boy. Truth is though, just like when I was her age, she too has desires and curiosities. Just like how I had some dream girl in high school that I really wanted to kiss and make out with, I'm sure she has some dream guy in high school she really wants to kiss and make out with. Yet, what stop me was because I wasn't smooth enough but what's stopping her is the social stigma of being easy and the knuckles on my right fist. We teach her every day that being a woman doesn't make her any less than a man that she should never feel that she deserves less yet when it comes to her own sexuality, we as a society completely strip her of her rights. Is that fair. No it's not fair. Did we ground her and take away her cell phone anyway? Of course we did. Because I watch her grow up, it's really hard for me to imagine her other than a little girl. It's tough to accept but I would be a fool to think that she doesn't look at certain guys a certain way. Let's just say I'm glad I'm having a boy instead.
