If I were to take a plane over there to Amsterdam or Cologne, it would cost me the price of a plane ticket. So I think in suggesting those places your not really factoring in the cost.

I mean there are certainly arguments that New York is the cultural center of the world. It's among the top that's for sure.

Technically UN is not located in NYC, in theory at-least UN is independent of US Laws. UN is more or less like Vatican City. Besides, UN has 3 more HQ's around the world, many major branches of UN are not even located in NYC HQ.

In what? A rental?
EU people are simply much more concentrated, so the total travel cost across all participants would be much lower.

When you aggressively state your opinion as if it were fact in a way to rile people up, it's can also be called bait. I'm telling people to handle you, as a poster, as if you were trying to get a reaction out of them, so that they can be more careful about taking you seriously.

Regardless though let's keep the thread on topic.


I wasn't trying to rile anyone up, I just don't preface every opinion with "my opinion is"

Damn, Chicago is a good idea for a meetup. I wonder why this has not been done before?

Besides multiple members living there, it's the train capital of the US and pretty centralized. Much cheaper than flying.
