[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am white, born on a military base and I arrived in DC soon after my birth.

I am a transplant but have lived all over the area since I was an infant.

Yes I have traveled extensively especially after high school.

I think the recent wave of mostly white transplants to the DC area some of the lamest people I have ever come across in my entire life.

I totally agree.  I think that's the problem most natives have with the transplants.  Cities like Los Angeles and Portland attract interesting, dynamic, creative, free thinking individuals.  DC just attracts the most white-bread, policy wonk types.  My dad always calls them the "milk monitor" types.  :lol:

And this was fine when transplants were trickling in.  But now they are arriving in droves and turning DC into the most dull, lame place.[/quote]I know we've discussed this already but the theater scene here is far from boring.  You may not like the policy wonk types but there's a lot of cool stuff happening in theater -- to which the policy wonks (like me) go.[/quote]

Policy wonk types SUCK.[/quote]Oh you've absolutely [i]slayed[/i] me with your incisive commentary!  LOL![/quote]

I currently speak 5 languages.

What about you?[/quote]Seriously?  If you're the person who thought I'd be insulted by the comment "Policy wonk types SUCK," I'm even more amused that you're following up by announcing how many languages you speak.  That's pretty funny - and completely irrelevant.  But good for a grin.  :-)  If you're someone else, I'm not sure why you're posting this but whatever!  And if you're a troll, well, you have to try harder if you want people to get pissed at you.[/quote]

NP.  Seems like it did strike a nerve for you....  :lol: [/quote]The nerve attached to my funny bone, maybe. Just amused that anyone would think those lame insults would hurt anyone's feelings. [/quote]
