Thanks for the rep. It was a while ago (late 60's early 70's) but NYC was multicultural before the word became fashionable. The boroughs were a little grittier but still most everybody got along and got on with it. I go back to the island quite a bit and I still get that vibe. It's all about the business of business
But you have to admit there are some obnoxious idiots on your side of the fence. I don't mind debating almost any topic. I hate getting dogpiled by people who really don't give a **** about the subject, but like to throw a punch if they're sure they won't get hurt.
