It's not butt hurt or whatever you wanna call it, but forgive if I wanna defend the place that you called "hell on Earth" and offered gross generalizations from bad experiences you had. Like Winsor said, maybe it was you. I don't know, I don't know you obviously, but how come I never run into these sorts of issues and I've lived here all my life, but in the 9 months you were here, you've got a huge list?
Believe me, there's plenty I don't like about Vancouver, and plenty of the stuff in this thread I agree with. I keep my mouth shut about those. I think Vancouver is the best place to live, but that's only because I only know Vancouver. I've never lived anywhere else. But if someone unfairly says something about Vancouver or any city for that matter, I'm gonna speak up. But does that mean it's butt hurt or whatever? No, I ultimately could care less, I'll just think you're pretty stupid and call you out on it.
If you're gonna say something unfair about a certain city, expect the residents of that area to speak up. If I said Calgary is this, Calgary is that, I'm sure I'd take a lot of heat. I once commented on the streets of Calgary being really dirty, which they are because of the salt/snow etc, and I got attacked. Hell, that was a fair comment, and I got attacked. But you're "hell on Earth" comment is what irked me and I felt the need to say something.
