PRETENTIOUS?

++ I FIND NEW YORKERS, as a clear blanket statement, to be brash, pretentious, self-righteous, and for the most part look down at every other city. yeah i know this doesn't apply to all new yorkers. i'd even go so far as to say this doesn't apply to all new york city people. i even have friends in new york. i'll give them the benefit of the doubt. it's a great city. don't get me wrong. i like it. its exciting. it's one of the bigger cities in north america. but seriously, the world's second home? give me a break. pretentious a-holes. ++
