Excuse, lets not put down the NYC folks either. It is our taxes that support the whole State. In fact NYC residents, Nassau and Suffolk residents pay 89% of all taxes collected by New York state taxpayers.

I am getting a little tired of the bashing NYC residents and the "my S*it don't stink" because I am not like a New Yorker.

Wendo sings..."I love New York"...

Wendo also wonders where, with the debate between East Coast vs. West Coast, she would fit in because she's in Chicago...hmmm...LOL!

I'm a little surprised about this thread. Weren't we admonished last year for judging Dani as a parent based on her BB personality and for Gerry's future effectiveness as a teacher based on the revelation of some of his less than desirable personal habits.

I thought we were not supposed to discuss these people's real lives based on their BB lives.

Also, I have lived on both coasts and have found jerks from sea to shining sea and nice decent people abounding everywhere!

Yes Maris, I totally agree, it gets bit tiring to hear the same crap over and over again, people bashing New York. Perhaps they should look in their own wonderful gardens and see what is happening there.

I grew up in Philadelphia and I don't think Dana' behavior is extraordinary at all. [Mind you, for a short time I had to live in the flyover--Indiana--and someone there once said soneone was "Philadelphia nasty." I said "Excuse me?" He said: "In NYC, people give youthe finger, but in Philadelphia, they cross the street for the honor of doing it!"]

Anyhow, it's true that people in Los Angeles are less enamoured with the f word and its variants than we were back east, but I think a good F vocabulary is quite useful. Besides, I have never met anyone here who says "dude" either. Those are people in the flyover who think we Californians talk like that.

Very true. Mea culpa. As a matter of fact, one of my greatest desires is to visit NYC, take in the culture, the sites, etc. I've only had the opportunity to drive through it between airports and on our way to LI to take our daughter to a summer course in Southampton. The beaches are gorgeous. I had no idea! We thought we'd go to the cape, but ended up staying in LI.

The only scary part of NYC was being caught on the Geo. Washington bridge in a huge traffic jam in both directions and wondering how they would be able to help anyone if they needed help. (Note to self: Take public transportion in NYC. <g>) Besides, I have some wonderful friends in NYC and it's not fair to judge all people in any situation. Weren't we talking about the houseguests being immature regarding diversity? :) I have a little pin that says: "It takes all of us to make a difference."

I never bashed New York. I said that I was not enamoured of the "New York attitude" and maybe I need to correct that to be specific about the region within New York. I also very clearly explained why I'm not fond of the NY attitude.

I've been to NY. I've spent lots of time in NYC. I think it's a phenomenal city to visit (but I wouldn't ewant to live there). There are some great people living in NY. Not everyone has that attitude.

Costacat is surprised that a comment not intended for anyone can be taken so personally. MARIS, of all people, even managed to gently rib me. Maris, who is NYC thru 'n thru, and oh so very protective! Maris, who reminds me that my stuff don't stink! <wink wink> <grin> <smooch>

Yes costa, if there is one thing about New Yorkers, we may bicker but the old back gets up when anyone criticizes us. That my dear is why the New York Mafia IS going to win BB4. We got each others backs.

Max, I was thinking about your East/West classifications. What about Americans from the Deep South? They seem to be more West Coast--they will be nice even if they think you ought to drop dead. My friend calls that sweet smile "The Southern F**k You." ... But then again, I'm not sure all Southerners want to have a good time. In fact, if Tennessee Williams is any guide, they love to marinate in misery.

(and before anyone jumps on me, I'm originally from Atlanta!)

Haven't read this thread, will later.. but if I had kids, no I wouldn't want Dana teaching them anything. I see martial arts as being for learning control, mastery, discipline and I can't imagine her being able to accomplish that or pass it along.

I do not know what this means, but....

The banner advertising Dana and a free lesson on the tsk.com has been removed.

I agree...one can not judge a whole area by a one person example...but the opposite can be said also...I mean...just look at Jun and Dana's opinion of Oklahomans! I do tend to get the attitude that all Southerners are uneducated hicks and get quite tired of it, as I'm sure NYers get tired of being put down for being crass and sarcastic or whatever. It happens everywhere to everybody--just depends on what area you're from and where you're actually at, LOL.

I'm of Asian heritage and have a Texan accent...then moved to WI and IN. People would ask me about my lack of accent and I thought they were complimenting me by saying my Texan accent was not so strong...come to find out, they were wondering at my lack of an Asian accent. I still laugh at how dense I was. What a maroon!

Well this is gonna shock some because although I don't care for her in the game I think she would be a hell of a good teacher for kids outside of this house. I've watched her motherly type of instinct and recall that when Jack fell durring the last luxury challenge she was right there helping him stand. When the guys early on were talking about seeing a little too much nip region from Michelle she brought her a jacket and put it on her. when they yanked the lettuce bikini off of Michelle she was right there with a towel. Like I said. Dana in the house is a royal pain but there is something about her that tells me she's probably a real good gal outside the house. I figure if she does have anger management problems she knows how to direct them properly outside as there are ways too let it all go. So ... Yeah I'd feel real good with her teaching my kids. It's too bad I can't stand her in the game. Just wish she'd let that Hatred thing go!
