Detroit Vs. Paris

10/28/2011 10:52:29 PM

After 3 weeks in Paris I know the city well enough to compare it to my home base of Detroit. This is my run-down on which city is better in these categories;

Strip Cubs: Detroit
Food: Paris
Museums: Paris
Parks: Paris
Monuments: Paris
History: Paris
Way of Life: Paris
Public Transportation: Paris
Architecture: Paris
Safety: Paris
Women on the Street: Paris
Statues: Paris
Climate: Paris
City Beauty: Paris
Activities: Paris
Economic Health: Paris

So Detroit wins.

jack, you forgot to mention my favourite aspect of Parisian life - the mounds of dog shit you encounter anywhere you go. Next time you go to Paris visit some of the muslim banlieues - you will think you are back in the bombed out areas of Detroit.

Art, you're right about the dog shit. Parisians love their dogs and walk them everywhere. But I have yet to see a Parisian scoop any poop.

And don't forget. You can get ketchup with your French Fries in Detroit.

Life is all about making good money, in fun ways, and then using it to fuck as many good looking whores as possible.

Well as you know Detroit is a French word, and that's where you get the city name from. Which I find a bit odd as so many of your towns and cities are named after English places.

Well, a lot of us came from your country in the beginning, londonguy. It's a pity, that the powers in charge of your land decided to enslave us economically so we revolted. We still like you guys. Seems to me, at least, it's time for another revolution to free ourselfs from the assholes in power in Washington, DC.

Ahh that's nice of you to say that Vince :-) The feeling works both ways. The world would be a much better place without politicians Vince, if you think you have problems you should see the deep shit Britain and Europe is in, there is almost a civil war going on in Greece.

We're usually late to the party, London. Someday folks will realize the national debt was $3.9 trillion before the fiscal crisis and now $14 trillion since. $10 trillion up and disappeared in the biggest heist in human history. And not a single person has gone to jail...

Detroit: 30 minute drive
Paris: 30 minute drive + 7 hour airplane ride.
Winner: Detroit

London: close by
U.S.A: at least five hours plus the waiting around in airports
Winner: U.S.A.

It's the same over her CT. Bankers in London practically bankrupted the country, taxpayers saved them and now they still get huge bonuses of several millions. GRRRR !!

I got to go to Ontario and Quebec at the end of summer. French Canadian women are five times sexier than Anglo women.

@sinclair,

I will agree that les sexy stripteaseuses Quebecoises have an aura that anglophone dancers lack in Canada. Style sense and attitude to men are different. However, when you start to chat with them in their langue maternelle, you will quickly discover that French-speaking dancers are just as ditzy as their English-speaking counterparts.
