Cities vs. countryside...

[Rich]

Well, which is the best to live and why?

I vote for cities as there are lots of people to meet, stuff to do and places to go.

[T-nex]

Umm.. Villages, cuz thei're cute and you get to know people better ^_^

[AquaticAmbi]

Erm... what's the difference between a town and villiage? I think these terms are more common in Great Britian or something, and I don't live there.

[Fez]

Village. Everything you need, with (hopefully) none of the mess.

[Oddish]

A tought question, I don't how to answer that.

I would like to live in a nice City.

[Majic]

I'm assuming "Towns" would be similar to the suburban lifestyle. Which, I particularly enjoy. Not overly crowded or polluted, yet you still have everything you need. w00t.

Cities are just too big. Great for a vacation or day trip, of course, but urban sprawl is taking its toll.Villages, nice and quaint I suppose. Second choice, as long as it's reasonably close to civilization. Middle of nowhere... The novelty wears off eventually.

[The Red Muse]

Towns. Definitely towns.

Villages are too damn shall, where everyone knows everybody and rumours spread like wildfire.
Cities are too big. I feel uncomfortable in bigger cities...too much people I guess.

And...uh... countryside?
What can I really say?

Towns are just great.
Except for industrial towns, such as the one I live in :/

[Fez]

Towns = Townies = Me getting into alot of fights again........

I mean like a relatively large town with suburbs (such as where I live and as Majic suggested) by "village" I mean a small community, like really small = Church, bar, houses, a couple of shops. And by "middle of nowhere" I mean completely isolated.

countryside...

im a native guy

[AquaticAmbi]

Alrighty then. Thanks for clearing that up. I would definitely have to say town. Villiages would also be my next choice... although I hate the thought of everyone knowing everyone on such a personal level. That's what it's like here. Cities are too noisy and the country (where I live) is way too quiet and far away from everything. And back to that personal level thing, ugh, practically everyone around here is related.

[TheRaisin]

Ew. Creepy.

Cities all the way. I live in what I guess would be considered a town: not big, not small. Suburban-ish. And I HATE it. Maybe it's just Yakima, and other towns are better, but I seriously friggin' hate my hometown.
Two hundred miles west of here, that's a different story. Seattle, baby! The birthplace of grunge! One of the most literate and liberal cities in the country. Home to the University of Washington, a pinnacle of culture and thought and the intelligent sharing of ideas in an extremely neighborly environment (at least the pinnacle in Washington). So. . . yeah. Maybe I just love it so much because my hometown is an illiterate trash heap of rich white folk in the hills and poor immigrant workers, drug dealers, and petty criminals down in the valley, surrounded by lifeless desert and devoid of any culture. But oh well. Seattle rocks, big cities rock.

Note: the only big cities I've been in have been Seattle; Vancouver, B.C.; and Victoria, B.C., so maybe my view of big cities is a bit rose-tinted, but what the hell, I love big city life.

[Nepharski]

I selected Cities...but have changed my mind towards towns. Definitly not villages, what with their pitchforks and torches and angry farmers and...

...Faded out for a moment. My appologies.

[Majic]

Seattle rocks, big cities rock.

Seattle may rock, but it has some pretty miserable weather

Bill Cosby could testify in favor of that.

Cities. Best public transportation... meaning I don't have to drive.

Closely followed by town/suburban life, of course. All the responsibilities of living in the city with less chance of running into a total twat.

[Facsimile]

Cities. Mostly because the town I live in is an absolute shithole.

[Alcar]

It's hard to decide. I like the country because it's so peaceful and 'natural'. Some of the best times I've had, and pictures I've taken have been in the country. However, I don't think I'd like to live in the country. Yet I wouldn't like to live in the City either. I prefer the metropolitan suburbs, which may be classed as city-like, but they are a cross of city and country. Well they are where I live, anyway.

Alcar...

Country Side is the best. That's all you can find on my Island, we don't have a city, so you make do with what you've got. Fields at every turn, little glens, nature, walks, and boring schools

You make things out of sticks, cows constantly crossing the road, I love it

[Biggy Bro Slig]

Countryside, loads of walks to go on, lots of animals, Rabbits, Birds of prey, Wallabies (the only reason Wallabies are on our island are because they escaped from our wildlife park!).

[Fuzzle Guy]

And what is 'The Middle of knowhere' supposed to mean?

[Esus]

Villages, or London. London always being the exception because I love London.

[Rich]

I love London

Hell yeah!

I wanna move to London when I "come of age".

[Al the Glukkon]

Cities, lots of stuff to do.

[TheRaisin]

Countrysides are nice to visit, but I can't see myself living out in a place like that. My brother and sister were raised out in the woods in Oregon, so they do well with stuff like that, but I've lived in this piece of crap town my entire life and it's had a terrible impact on me. If I had been raised from day one living out in nature, I would probably be a lot happier, but at this point in my life, I don't think I'll ever be anything more than a child of the suburbs.

Five more posts and I get a free Dodge Magnum!

I'm torn between. I've always felt home in the wilds of Scotland - especially on the West coast, around Skye and the Islands - but I like the feel and the life of the town where I live. It's incredibly inconvenient to go essentials-shopping when you live in the middle of the countryside and don't drive, anyway - need to charter a fleet of taxis to get there and back... *gr*

And what is 'The Middle of knowhere' supposed to mean?

FuzzleGuy - "Isle of Mann", doesn't it? Where if you drive too fast, you fall off the end? ;) (One of my friends is Manx. She takes us so seriously. :P "No, it's a lot bigger than most people think, really...!" *eyerolls*)

'The Middle of knowhere'

A village is signposted and has other people in (houses in close proximity). Middle of nowhere is when you have only one house for miles around.
