RE: Favorite places in Al

I lived in Calgary for about 2 years. And yes, there are quite a few educated, friendly people in Calgary. But most of them are idiots.

Jon, look up at the top of the home page for the forum rules, no insults or name calling is mentioned in the rules.

Canadian with a hyphen, I don't share Jon's views Alberta is no more Red Necked than anyother Province. I ride a horse, or I use to and I have cowboy boots. Am I a red neck no. It's rude to sterio-type an entire City or Province.

Sassylassie, I said most of them are idiots. Not all of them. And I know there's alot of idiots in every other province. I'm not trying to stereotype anything. And I've read the forums rules. If you want to tell people what to do, go become a moderator.

Canadian with a Hyphen, what a breath of fresh air you are. Yes Alberta stole my heart 19 years ago when I first visited it. Alberta is growing so fast but Albertians are fun loving and warm hearted.

Hi Rachelle,

I'm from Edmonton, and I don't think any of us in Alberta are idiots - we're all just people doin our best to do our best. Just like everybody else.

I thought it was extremely nice of you to offer to show JonB a different perspective... you showed an intelligent and kind response to an unkind remark.

Not sure why ya needed to do that Jon...hope ya got it outta yer system tho.

I have to disagree. I like most of Alberta; I hate Calgary. I moved here in 1988. While I was growing up, a proper Albertan Conservative supporter, I loved this whole province.

As I got older, and gained a little insight into the world around me, I grew to recognise that the vast majority of Albertans (Calgarians in particular) are a bunch of uneducated, spoiled brats. They drive like the dickheads they are, and feel completely justified in treating those beneith them (socio-economically) like crap.

Serving the people of this city has only worsened my distain. Listening to the callers on the local talk radio station makes me angry every day. I can't wait to get out of this craphole and go somewhere else.

LittleRunningGag, if you decide to go somewhere else, go to Montreal.

Well, then go Ottawa. Get as far away from the west as you possibly can.

ok. I'll bite. I'm not implying anything. I'm pointing out that it's a bit silly to say one's wife is getting her education in a place that one considers to be uneducated.

And I'll make sure to stay as far away from that place as possible.
