[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you just read the topics on DCUM you would think that DC was a crime riddled, terrible place with trash in the streets.

Then, I look out the window and wave to my neighbor and realize that DC is a wonderful place to live with great people.

I see how people get so worked up when they read forums like this. Like murderers are running through our streets with axes.

It's ridiculous. I love DC and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

Egad, my kids even attended DC public schools and guess what - they went to college and can read.[/quote]

Your opinion and lived experience is valid. So are the opinions and lived experiences of others. Not everyone has the same idyllic view out their windows as you.[/quote]

The problem is that for every person who actually has a negative "lived experience" there are 20 people just parroting the sensationalized "OMG crime!" nonsense a friend of a friend of a friend posted on Facebook.

If I had a nickel for every online interaction I've had that went like this:

"DC is a crime infested hellhole!"

"Oh, did something happen to you?"

"Hell no, I haven't been into DC in years, it's a crime infested hellhole!"

I'd be a millionaire.

Sorry, all opinions aren't automatically valid just because you have one. If your opinion is based off of hearsay, Fox News, and forwards from grandma it's not valid.   [/quote]

So, you're the self-appointed arbiter of what's a valid and invalid opinion based on your own subjective criteria?[/quote]
