The poor guy's Facebook page is loaded with over 1000 comments already. It amazes me how many people are actually defending the drunk guy and calling the driver a pussy for not being a man, and trying to ruin the dentist's practice.

It also turns out that he is a repeat offender. What made me laugh was how quickly the discussions got political. Virtually everyone defending the drunk, rich, white Dentist is a trumper, and if you are supporting the uber driver, they accuse you of being a snowflake Democrat.

Notice the "Atlanta Alive" news.... you know,.... Atlanta... where Subs insists I don't live because I'm in Cherokee County.

ya don't live in Atlanta, you live in Cartersville or some hick part of Cherokee co. Your mayor is not the same mayor that is the mayor of Atlanta...you're Atlanta adjacent...heck when i lived in Roswell i was closer to atlanta than you ever have been. but don't let that get you up off the coattails.

What a strange pissing match.

The Atlanta metropolitan area was first defined in 1950 as Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb and Clayton counties. Walton, Newton, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Henry, Cherokee, Rockdale, and Butts counties were added after the 1970 census, with Barrow and Coweta counties joining in 1980 and Bartow, Carroll, Paulding, Pickens and Spalding counties in 1990.

...

Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton were the five original counties when the Atlanta metropolitan area was first defined in 1950, and continue to be the core of the metro area. These five counties along with five more (Cherokee, Douglas, Fayette, Henry and Rockdale) are members of the Atlanta Regional Commission, a weak metropolitan government agency which also is a regional planning agency.

Is this like someone claiming that so-and-so doesn't live in Chicago because they live in Schaumburg?

Cartersville is Bartow county you dumb “F” and it isn't nearly a hick town as where you live, over at boondock #7. Woodstock is a nice little town, frequently mentioned in lists of the best cities to live in.

I never said I live in the city of Atlanta, I live in Metro Atlanta. The Atlanta Braves play in Cobb County, 13 minutes away. The Atlanta Falcons training camp is in Flowery Branch, which is much farther from the perimeter than where I live. The Atlanta Motor Speedway is far south of the perimeter. Everyone within a 20 mile radius of downtown Atlanta considered themselves in the metro Atlanta area. The fact that this is such a stinging point for you is hilarious.

Or Elgin. The only time I was in Chicago it was visiting a friend in Elgin. Who knew that all this time they were lying about where they lived. Probably a Democrat.

What an odd argument. But I do have to point out that NFL team camps are often outside of the city in which they are based. The San Fransisco 49ers used to train in Sacramento and Stockton. And now they play in Santa Clara.

Subs went apeshit some time ago because I mentioned that I lived in the Atlanta area and he brings it up every now and then. His argument was that I was "lying" because technically I lived within the city of Woodstock and that it was so far removed from Atlanta that only a liar and/or a moron would live in Woodstock and say he was from Atlanta. My argument is that the Metro Atlanta area goes well beyond the perimeter of where I live and he knows this because he used to live in the same area. He's an idiot, and he's being disingenuous as usual. Anyone familiar with the outer perimeter suburbs of metro Atlanta knows this to be true.

No, it is not. As a former resident of Roswell, a suburb of Atlanta, i can tell you that KG diesnt live in Atlanta as he has previously claimed.....and still, for some reason, feels compelled to affirm via creative cartography.

Steelers camp is in Latrobe PA. which is 40 miles from Pittsburgh...and no one considers that to be "Pittsburgh".
