Toronto - boring or not?

I know 100 people who will say that T.O. is boring.
So, what is your opinion my friends?

Stop spamming the boards...grow up or face a short life here.

And of course it isn't "boring". Look up the meaning of boring...then look up the opposite of boring...tell me which one describes Toronto.

Boring, is a matter of perspective and effort. If all you do is stare at the wall in your room even in the most un-boring city in the world, then it'll still be boring.

TO is not boring for me. But then again, I'm only back for weeks at a time. A lot of NYorkers would think TO is boring just how TOers think smaller centers are boring. I could think Norwood Ontario is boring, but the farmers their may think that shovelling cow manure all day is a fantastic.

Next thread like this elykhovoy and the vodkas on you! Kapeesh??

Yes for Canadians no, of coarse no. Biggest city, so many neighbourhoods, so many clubs.
It is a safe city, lots of animals live here (squirells, racoons..)
But have you ever been to Buenos Aires, Madrid, Moscow, Amsterdam?
You are so proud of your city, that's good, no questions.
But have you ever seen something not boring?

I believe he's just confused, as am I. I mean we're not sure what you're asking. I've been to all those cities except for Amsterdam, and I don't see the point you're making.

After all there is a proverb:"Boredom is the privilege of those who are
stupid", or, as Robert V. Harms says:"Boredom is a favorite pastime of nonthinkers"

Some of you guys are really rude, leave the poor guy alone. He just wanted your opinion, and he asked nicely.

If he thinks Toronto is boring, there is no need to attack him. So much for free speech

Although I wouldn't say Toronto is necessarily boring, I think that most people from Europe would agree it's not as exciting as Europe. European daily life is completely different, so that might be the case.
