Hope

I think it was Randall Munroe that once wrote this.

"try to post a YouTube comment so stupid that people realize you must be joking. (Hint: this is impossible)"

I have a corollary of sorts. Try to make a city-data.com or LA Land post so negative that people realize you're joking. This is also impossible.

As evidence, there a query by a 27 year old British single mom with two kids about how it would be to move to LA. The responses were quite negative, trying to dissuade her from considering it. I though that perhaps people were being overly negative, so I posted this:

Yeah. Forget the USA. All the people are fat, smelly and uneducated and spend more money than they make. All Americans have guns and just go around shooting one another. The schools suck. The universities suck. All of the cities are a formless stucco wasteland. There is no transport. No one speaks English. Most kids are pregnant by 14 and have sexually transmitted diseases. There is nothing of value here. Pedophiles are everywhere. Earthquakes and hurricanes will probably soon kill everyone. If you get sick, you will die. The meat at fast food restaurants is actually ground up kittens and puppies. There is poison in the water, and water in the poison. Christian crusaders and Islamic jihadists roam the streets looking for people to kill. Giant robots built by the army enslave the humans and make them work in the mines. Run, run, RUN!! ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE!!! REPENT YE, FOR ARMAGEDDON IS AT HAND!!!

To which, the next poster said

Without all the melodramatics by the above poster, i say he's almost just about right. Do not come here, there is no hope!!!!! :-(
