What do you think is the greatest city in the world based on these criteria.
1. people, are the people nice
2. clenliness
3. air quality

Does not exist. All large cities have their good and bad sides.

Perth, Western Australia. Though I haven't been there for several years.

I nominate Dar Es Salaam.

San Francisco, California.

San Francisco, California.

I had a bad expience in San Fran once.. I was mugged, they took everything, I would'nt be so mad but they did it in the daylight, with people watching.

my fave 2

Chicago, IL
Seattle, WA

I love Albuquerque, New Mexico, although I didn't exactly love living there. I also think Calgary (Canada) is an amazingly wonderful city...

Absolutely. This thread is nonsense.

London is clearly superior. Largely thanks to our socialist mayor :D

So is your face.

And for the fact that it's the second most expensive city in the world after Tokyo.

So is your face.

It shows.

You really are a miserable git, aren't you?

I keep hearing this term, whiskey tango foxtrot does "git" mean?

Sorry Im a just a ignat yank

You really are a miserable git, aren't you?

Nope.

London is clearly superior. Largely thanks to our socialist mayor :D
Much as I love Ken, on the categories mentioned I can't for a second vote for London.
I work in central London and commute in every day it's not particularly clean, the people aren't particularly friendly. Don't get me wrong I love it here, have lived elsewhere and wouldn't do again. I adore the culture of the city, the multitude of cultures more than I've found elsewhere.

The free museums, the theatres, the cinemas and parks, it's a wonderful place, it's just not that clean and unless you get to know them the people aren't that friendly.

Absolutely. This thread is nonsense.

Not being mean but then why are you reading it? It is just a bunch of people trying to just enjoy some light hearted conversation.

What's that?

I have been to many cities but the one I have been to as a child that I would love take my family to is Boulder, CO. I think anywhere in Colorado I can remeber being beautiful. But I have been many places large and small that have had its share of rude or nice people.

What's that?


Such a bad thread but still you are here in it. I am not trying to start a verbal disagreement with anybody so I am not going any further with this. I am sorry you are such a mean person. I am sure you have your reasons for being sarcastic but I don't have time for this.

Loosen up and for whatever reason you are like this I hope it gets better.

Cleveland, Ohio!!!

oh... wait... I thought you said poorest city in the US... sorry.

But besides poverty its a decent city.

I'm fine. I just like showing how stupid a stupid thread is.

I live south of Denver and I would say that Boulder is not the place to go to. It is full of drugies and Hippies... I would say probley the best place in Colorado is either Denver or Estes Park, but my all time favorite city is probley Miami.

Definitely has to be Dallas Texas, crack on every corner, bums near every bridge. And the people.....well the people are pretty cool... i suppose...as long as you don't drive, aren't from "up north", and ain't one of them homeosexials. Yeah, Dallas rocks.

Does not exist. All large cities have their good and bad sides.
Well, a city doesn't have to be large to have nice people, cleanliness, and clean air, now does it? A smaller town might even be more likely to fulfill the cleanliness criteria.
So I'm going with Kingston, On. You come for the History (home of Sir John A. and the location of the first sittings of parliament), but you stay for the prisons (Five, is it?)..... and the military base/military college....... and the other two schools (Queens and St. Lawrence). Suffice it to say it's big on the institutions. The people are nice enough.. it's clean and pretty, and it's small enough that the air's relatively clean.... except when a cloud of smog floats up from Toronto ;)

I'm fine. I just like showing how stupid a stupid thread is.


I am glad you are fine.... but you really aren't showing anybody how stupid this thread is because people are still posting so all you are showing is nothing. Just a thought if this post is so stupid then start one that you think is on a worth while subject.... I like reading most all of the posts... some I don't find interesting but I wouldn't say they are stupid just something I wouldn't participate in so I don't.

I hope you start a thread on a subject you find worth while... good luck!

Thanks for the update... I was in Boulder about 20 years ago and I am sure places change. I just really remember how crisp the air was in Colorado. I have never had the chance to go to Miami and I live in Florida! Maybe one day I will get down there....

I have.


Just recently? What is the heading I will go look for it...

They do alot, and the air gets better the farther up you go into the mountains or at least as far as you can from Denver...

Roma! The capital of IITTAALLIIAA, best country, best people, the north is a fog! Bosso, Bosso, Bosso! Si Roma, Roma Si!

If you want a city that has little pollution and friendly citizens I would say it would probably be in the Midwest. Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Clevland are all out. Maybe Boulder, CO or Wichita, KS? Seattle would get my vote though.

No culture in there!

Again not Boulder way too many Hippies... ANd the population there is growing alot they are almost as large as Colorado Springs...

Napoli! Near my origins!!

No culture in there!
Denver has alot of culture, like the latinos and the germans

For large cities I vote for Amsterdam, for small cities I vote for Padua, Italy. I was lost in both cities when I went backpacking in Europe and in both cities some one basically took me by the hand and lead me to the place I was looking for! Definitely incredible people!

If i had the means and the capital, i'd blow that propaganda filled US Census building!! No Doubt :) Putana!!

Oh? The false latins? Being raped and pillaged by the weak spaniards doesn't make you latin my friend ;)

I am sure the Hispanic population would love to hear that...

The one on Boris Johnson.


I just posted to it.... its a good topic. But can you cut us all a little slack on this thread??

Come on you know you want to.... tell me what is your city of choice? Come on... just say it and you can deny you ever took part in a thread like this.... ok??? :)

No. Italia is in Mediterranea!

Well.

I have kind of liked:

York
Edinburgh
Venice
Tivoli
Stressa - Well it's a resort so I don't think that counts.....
Florence
Singapore


Out of the cities I have seen and fall under the points of this thread is Singapore.

Air is exceptionally clean as car ownership is almost impossible.
Exceptionally clean. They have fines for bubblegum.
People seemed friendly.

I went walking around late at night and through dark allys and didn't think about muggers.

Sounds nice but it is a totalitarian goverment.

I still remember the entrance visa.

DRUG TRAFFICING MEANS DEATH

:eek:

I am sure the Hispanic population would love to hear that...

Si! The truth!! The spaniards are from a barbarian tribe who lost to the muslims! Italia is the home of latin!

Call them hispanics all you want, just don't ruin my culture!

Si! The truth!! The spaniards are from a barbarian tribe who lost to the muslims! Italia is the home of latin!

Who lost to the Huns...

Argentina is mostly italiano!!

Who lost to the Huns...

The fool-hearted goths were afraid of the huns, they begged to come into rome, and they tried to take rome! Luckily our legions were too strong for them :p

I didn't even have a choice to move to Regina and hence dislike it very much.

Not to the Huns - they were stopped in a joint battle by the Roman and germanic tribal troops at the Catalaunian fields in France.
However latter some of those "barbarian" tribes run over Rome (Odoaker killed the last West Roman Emeperor Romulus Augustulus in 476). However the East Roman Empire (Konstantinopel/Istanbul) existed till the year 1453 before the Turks toke that over.

Here's a list of some of my nominees for "best" city - of course, I can only go by cities I've actually been to. There may be "better" cities out there.

1 - Luzerne, Switzerland
2 - Valencia, Spain
3 - Copenhagen, Denmark
4 - Denver, Colorado US
5 - Quebec, Canada
6 - Florence, Italy
7 - Bremen, Germany

Never the less, the Huns were the group that led to the fall of the Roman Empire. True, they were defeated but the cost was great to Rome.

See how they ruined my culture? Now i have nothing! So i'm fighting for the return of the roman structure, i have a plan for italia and it doesn't involve conquest!

Sydney, Australia.

Beacause I live there!

What was yourfavorite part of Denver? Did you get a chance to see Littleton, which is like 10 miles south of Denver?

If one of the great emperor's was in power, rome would have never died! Remember the stretch of good emperors? They did alot...

No. Italia is in Mediterranea!

Ummmm, I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that Padua is not nice or I have the country wrong? I'm pretty sure I have the country right...

1 - Luzerne, Switzerland... definately
2 - Montreaux, Switzerland ... :p

3 - Manama, Bahrain :D
4 - Baghdad, Iraq.. (well.. during the times of the Abbasids anyway)..
5 - Anchorage, Alaska? :p

I was referring to italia being in europe. Not in my eyes.....

You should come to Saskatoon! We are having the rodeo this weekend! Or just come dancing at one of our bars!

I'd be depressed in that environment.

I'd like to dance to the italian-tango. One of our beautiful songs with much meaning, though most of our music comes from barbarians with no talent like in the oprah house! Or that classical garbage, sounds so germanic.... www.italianrap.com

What are you? Funny? Hehehe. What is your plan for Italy or Europe or both?
Rome had a lot of influence on its development regardless of the fact that it fell. Except the Brits and the Irish we all have a Roman law legal system.

St Petersburg in Russia, although its a lot better in winter than summer.

I was referring to italia being in europe. Not in my eyes.....

I love that you love your country so much, but are you just a teensy bit hard on everyone else? I loved Roma (and Verona and Venice etc) but Saskatoon is pretty awesome to party in when you have all your friends around. And really, when you're drunk, who's to know the difference between one country and the next??

By the way, can you send over a margarita pizza, they are amazing!

First off, i will say that italia is in the continent of MEDITERRANEA!! And then, i will create a proper roman structure and we will hit hard on the issues as much roman as possible! Crucifixions practices will also return...

Yeah, i might seem hard on here, but it's kinda mixed in with my character, i still have the same outlook offline, i'm just more mellow and considerate.

Hong Kong. :)


J/K

Hong Kong is pretty cool but the people are assholes, there is trash everywhere, and it has the some of the worst air pollution in the world. though it may be cleaner than Thailand or other citys with econemys based on factorys.

Montreal

If killing myself meant the return of the structure, i'd do it! Most-likely no doubt...

Montreal is quite nice, as is Amsterdam. In both the air quality is relatively good (for a large city) and the people are friendly. Each has a casualness that keeps the stress level down. I also hear that Vancouver is nice, but I have not been there.

Emmanuel "Ronin" Goldstein
Speaker for the region of Sludgia

Mediterranea - continent???? Then Padania is going to become an independent country as well? And what would the pope say to the return of crucifications?

Victoria was a very nice city in Canada. They people were as friendly as all Canadians and the city was very clean.

Only bad thing is when you get a bad emperor :rolleyes: i'll have a prima legatus, but i never plan to die and family is better! You can trust them....

But seriously Venice is the coolest, someone said Roma, well the people are usually jerks, except to us, I dont know why, we are Americans I mean, I like us, but I didnt expect for them to. Maybe they wanted a big tip. Anyway, Rome is pretty dirty, air quality medium.

Venice is defenitely the best, people are soo nice, air quality, for a city, incredible, none better, and trash in minimal. Also the best place in Europe for a vacation, and the entire eastern hemisphere for that matter. However its not one of the major citys, but still.

Mediterranea - continent???? Then Padania is going to become an independent country as well? And what would the pope say to the return of crucifications?

Si. That's the plan anyway. Padania won't be independent, and if the pope has a problem with it, i might go into there, but i don't want to.

I nominate Stockholm. It succeeds on all three of your criteria.

And for the fact that it's the second most expensive city in the world after Tokyo.
Which is ruled by uber-free marketeers.

Well in reference to culture, no doubt rome... right :D

I'd just pound it will artillery, so much for those swiss guards lol

I love Roma but it fails on all three of the counts. And Napoli is even worse!

My tank units will take the place of old roman calvary units, and mortar unitsor snipers will take the place of archer units, and artillery in the place of old roman ballista's..

Then what do you want?

Just an independent nation ;)

Referring to my nation in here.. like 100 tanks per legion or so... over the years, things upgraded, doesn't mean they don't have the same purpose.

I love Roma but it fails on all three of the counts. And Napoli is even worse!
Rome is a great historic city. But it has got horrible traffic.
Dublin is very nice. And it is not too big - like London or Paris - who are great otherwise.

And no, we won't have line formations, that's suicide in modern warefare.. I typed everything up in a page with the title of "Iittaalliiaa", the link is in my signature that doesn't appear :headbang:

Just an independent nation ;)
Since when is Italy not an independent nation? As I remember right it exists as a state since 1862. So what?

My curent plan would be to carve a province of the lands we currently patrol in iraq now, send more forces in, create multiple supply routes and put all funding into infinite energy and stop using gasoline or oil in general and just produce it to sell it lol.. if the oil companies have a problem with it, i'll nationalise the energy production and screw them!

Bunch ah puppets...

If my forces are attacked by anyone, i guess 100,000 people have to die by crucifixion order for them to form a militia and hand over the terroists! Let's just say that wood stock will be on the rise ha!

I'd put Saddam Husein as my governor.. half of the total italian troops there as his provincial military, and he can take care of the terroists and their tactics! :p

Basically, half of the italian troops there is his limit to have.. Say i have 1 legion or 10,000 troops, he can only have 5,000, and their only tactic in war would be to swarm on the fron lines...

Wouldn´t it be more logical instead of this silly Iraq thing (Iraq is controlled by the US and the UK, the other coalition partners don´t have sectors and are numerically not that significant) to invade Lybia and take the coins from there? Well, just a thought. You seem to develop Mussolinian ideas?

It isn't a musolini idea. I have a to be paid something, so if not anything in money, then in land! Or be allowed to create nuclear weapons in exchange for the assistance.... Going into libya might be hard to justify, but i'd hurt them so bad!

Perth, Western Australia. Though I haven't been there for several years.

As the Australians would say, "yuh!!!".

Id take that leadeer and make him stay with the pigs! And as a muslim, all we will feed him!

And then while he is eating, we'll broadcast him eating pig for his faith! Maye some prociutto heh

That was the opinion in Italy after WW I as well. And Italy didn´t get what it want and went under Mussolini in a different direction.
Italy won´t get a part of Iraq. There is a British, Polish and American sector.
Italy won´t get any sector. But it can apply for reconstruction contracts.

Under me, i'd wonder why i don't get a sector, but my private sector can apply...

It isn't a musolini idea. I have a to be paid something, so if not anything in money, then in land! Or be allowed to create nuclear weapons in exchange for the assistance.... Going into libya might be hard to justify, but i'd hurt them so bad!
Come on. Gaddafi is an evil dictator. He even supported terrorism (Lockerbie/La Belle (Berlin). He is a supporter of international terrorism and an evil dictator. If he and his son are not leaving the country Lybia should be invaded, shouldn´t it?
Regarding nuclear weapons. Does Italy even use nuclear power? Otherwise it needs to be said. Any country who uses nuclear power is potentially able to get nukes. If Italy would do so it would only create an arms race since others would follow (Turkey, Greece, Germany).

There is nuclear weapons in italy, but not owned by italy. I'd do it in secret. And with gadafi, he dismantled his nuclear weapons program, so it's too late for that.

What do you think is the greatest city in the world based on these criteria.
1. people, are the people nice
2. clenliness
3. air quality

I'm going to go with some city in China or an ex-soviet republic where the air is so filthy that you die before you realize it's bad side.

Although Shangri La is very nice too, they standardized all the curtains there recently and it really looks classy.

Salt Lake City. People don't glare at you when you walk by, they say hi.

Roman business will be much what it was 1500+ years ago. Ah, marketplaces... remember them? More modern of course, but you need some sense of origins of evolution...

What was yourfavorite part of Denver? Did you get a chance to see Littleton, which is like 10 miles south of Denver?I didn't get to Littleton. I visited Denver in 1975 - so it's been awhile. Mostly I liked the cleanliness, open-ness, and friendliness.

In this game, i have 2 legions in roma, LEGION I patroling rome with 10,000 troops, and LEGION IIIIII labeled Praetorian, and guarding the Emperor and the Imperial Palace with 10,000 troops.

Amsterdam is the best, they have the nicest people & the most beautiful whores you've ever seen.

Reykjavík, not a doubt in my mind. Clean air, nice people, etc.
Amsterdam is very nice too.

Hamburg in Germany is he greatest city on earth...

Its the greenest big city in Europe, there are many diefferent cultures here and as long as you are polite everyone else will be nice too you!!!!!!!!!!

I hesitate... barcelona? Rennes? No...
Definately Quebec City.
Why?

1. people, are the people nice :D
Yes people are very friendly here. One of the best party town around (second only to european crazyness) where guys are cool and girls are joyful.

2. clenliness ;)
The town is pretty small in perspective with Amsterdam, London or New York but it is Beautiful. Quite a sight. A european-like jewel set on top of an american (as the continent) hill. And nature's galore.

3. air quality
No smog here. No heavy traffic. Well... There's snow 6 months of the year but the air is VERY fresh believe me!

Quebec City, I say.
(Oh... most people speak french, but also can babble a correct english).

Erenreich Von Tote*memory clicks in - adds BARCELONA to list* ;)

Note to Erenreich: And the food in Quebec!!!

Out of the places I have been to, and I'm not very well traveled, I would have to nominate Portland, Oregon based on the criteria. The people are awesome, the air is clean, everything is green. It's a great city, and also home to Powells book store.

1. Newcastle upon Tyne.

Clean. Near some great beaches (weather permitting). People are friendly once you learn the local accent. Big enought to be cosmospolitan, but not so big to as to suffer a lot of big city problems like traffic congestion and long commutes.

Its also very affordable.

2. Charleston SC.

Just about the nicest city in the US. Great nightlife, great peolple, great food. Fantastic beaches nearby, beautiful part of the world.

And the worst city is probably Tunis. (Although it could be Boston).

Praque...too many tourists (as I wasn't?)
Edinburgh...bad weather
Barcelona...locals are not that friendly (a certain no 1 otherwise)
Roma...Italian guys (too many) are annoying
Cobenhagen...too expensive


Berlin...ist wunderbar!

Charleston, South Carolina consistantly wins the vote for "friendliest" city in the US.

I am partial to my hometown of Orlando though. So much to do and never cold.

I am partial to my hometown of Orlando though. So much to do and never cold.

I haven't been to orlando for about 14 years. The problem with orlando - for a visitor - is that usually you are there only to see the theme parks so you leave without ever really getting an impression of the city itself. Good weather though and the people seemed nice, but pretty much that is the case all over the South East.

stockholm!! :D

Stockholm's not a bad place I suppose...

Personally, my favourite world city is Barcelona. It has great bars, great restaurants, great atmosphere and loads to do. Plus, it has great beaches and great summer weather.

I also like London. Tallinn is a great city too, with really low-price beer!

w00t for colorado springs

London is clearly superior. Largely thanks to our socialist mayor :D


That is absolutely correct.

San francisco is a close second though, but only because it has the most beautiful climate of any city in the world.

Paris and Florence are up there too.

I like SanDiego, its nice, Warm, all Beachy :)

... And I can always go wild in TJ :D

The town is pretty small in perspective with Amsterdam, London or New York but it is Beautiful. Quite a sight. A european-like jewel set on top of an american (as the continent) hill. And nature's galore.

3. air quality
No smog here. No heavy traffic. Well... There's snow 6 months of the year but the air is VERY fresh believe me!

Quebec City, I say.
(Oh... most people speak french, but also can babble a correct english).

Yes I like Barcelona too... Party all nite...all week :D :D

Quebec is indeed numero une...in the summer :cool:

Most definitely Dublin, Ireland.
I challenge anyone to name a city that is more friendly and fun, as well as being of a size that is navigable...

I love New York City. Like, lovelove.

It has the highest ratio of nice people to mean people of any place I have ever been to.

As for environmental issues, it actually has the lowest per capita energy and oil consumption in the US, contrary to popular belief, and one of the lowest in any city in any first-world country.

And it is very compact, too, squeezing a population of 8 mil into 19 square miles.

As a American, I must say that the people in Lyon, Napoli, Brussels, "Wien", Paris, Amsterdam, Lisboa, Barcelona should be examples for us.

Wow, they really are the free world compared to our regime.

Vienna, by far, followed by Rome

Roma!

Most definitely Dublin, Ireland.
I challenge anyone to name a city that is more friendly and fun, ..More fun? TJ...I would not live there...But I Love to party there...

What do you think is the greatest city in the world based on these criteria.
1. people, are the people nice
2. clenliness
3. air quality

On those criteria? Seatle. The constant rain washes everything clean and the absolute misery of it all makes everyone sympathetic.
