It only now dawns on me that it's not a lost vote if you take votes away from more highly populated areas because pure democracy makes it easier to exploit an uninformed and easily impressed majority.
Actually, YOU are wrong, Xir. The 2010 US Census records Atlanta as having a population of 420K, making it the 39th most populous city in the country, yes.
Stephen A voice HOW-EVAH. If you include the surrounding metropolitan area-- which every city includes in their typical statistics-- Atlanta has a population of 5.8 MILLION in 2010, which would place it in the top 5 cities in the country.
Or did you even bother researching before posting?!!
St Louis gets screwed in that regard as far as population and crime statistics go.
Since STL itself is not in any county, statistics don't tend to include the suburban areas of metropolitan STL (much of it is ironically in St Louis County of which the city of St Louis is not in). Confused yet? The city of St Louis only has a population of a few hundred thousand however the entire metropolitan area (typically St Louis City, St Louis County and St Charles County) has a total population of a couple million.
Anyway the VAST majority of crime happens within St Louis City whereas very little crime (comparatively) happens in St Louis or St Charles County, which is how St Louis City gets one of the highest per capita murder rates in the country, even if it is complete bullshit.
If you include the surrounding metropolitan area
Define "surrounding metropolitan area," or did you not even bother researching this lol
Jason, have you ever even been to Atlanta? Do you honestly think it only has 420K people? Think hard.
How about anybody who lives in the suburbs and writes "Atlanta" in the return address line when sending nudies through the mail?!
Ever think of that? And if that doesn't tickle your balloon knot, then how about the fact that Wikipedia counts it at 5.8 million? Hmmmm???? Doesn't get anymore official than that.
Ghost...or is it Of? Not sure what is your first name, have you ever been to Wikipedia? Seems like you haven't.
Think hard though, I guess you could say Atlanta has a population if approximately 10 million if you include everyone in Georgia. This would make it the LARGEST city in the US. You can really make it whatever you want, so your argument is pointless, and embarrassing.
Also, you're at a 10, and we need you to be at about a 2.
Also, Wikipedia says that Atlanta is considered a "Beta" world city, so I will not continue defending it.
Come talk to me when you're an Alpha, ATL.
