Do you always have to offend people? There are more mature ways of expressing your opinion...and those kinds of comments make it look like you don't have anything intelligent to say. I think you probably are intelligent, but you aren't coming across that way. Just a thought.

Seeing Des Moines holding its own on here in a crowd of cities three and four times its size makes me proud to be an Iowan.

If only the Iowa State Capitol was downtown and not a mile to the east (directly behind the photographer in the pic above, which is from the Capitol Grounds)

You are the guy that said Chicago has one of the ugliest skylines, and is a boring city, right ? Enough Said.

He didn't offend me at all, but it is certainly offensive to be overly aggressive in how you state your opinion. Review some of this kid's past comments and you'll see what I'm talking about.

It would be much more civil to simply say that a skyline is not your taste rather than calling it ugly, but he can just leave maturity to the grownups I guess.

Okay silly children calm yourselves. It's not offensive nor is it rude to shun a city or skyline. I admit I was out of line regarding the Chicago incident, however since then I've been enlightened. I don't know why you refer to me as the child even though I clearly put my real name as my username. Also, sixteen is old enough to be tried as an adult so you're confused Mr.Weenie or whatever your name is. Sorry I irritate you Mr.Weenie you should try peeling a potato with a spoon, I've heard it soothes the spirit. Just wanted to help you know, but whatever I'm to young and retarded to be listened to or realize when someone is speaking in a condescending tone. <:

Very mature! Good job!

Sweetie, "16" tells us the entire story. I didn't realize you were that young. Now it's understandable, but please don't act as if you're grown up. It's obscene.

I educated you on the meaning of "Weimie" in another thread. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimaraner
