[QUOTE=Mursenary;2549105]Who said Metz was a small town. I'm pretty sure I called it a "small city. " Pretty big difference. Details matter. Read better if trying to be contrarian.
Building beliefs based around reliable data rather than selecting data based on naked personal beliefs seems like a pretty solid approach for the 21st century man. Only old dinosaurs don't value data. Don't be like the political posters / conspiracy theorists. In some ways, you're better than them.[/QUOTE]According to EU standards, Metz is not a small city, being a French district capital and could be a kanton capital in Switzerland, bigger than Solothurn or pretty sure Fribourg. Paradise Sarrebrucken, nor Prestige Neunkirchen didn't exist on early 2000's, maybe club 214 in Sarrebrucken, where worked french girls. As I m not a follower, I try to think by myself, I feel more free like this, but I think vaccine is useful for who need, or feel more safe with, because I see in France, people who are afraid about virus, so this is better they can get vaccine, I just wish for no passport in EU.

It's an English word. The English word "city" implies a certain minimum size. Generally under 100,000, people will not use the word "city" but rather the word "town.

This is a dumb debate fueled by a lack of knowledge of the [B]English[/B] word "city". Furthermore, that wasn't even the point of the original post.
Point is I lived in Metz.
Call it whatever the hell you want. But for the English use of the English word "city," Metz is on the smaller end of the spectrum. Big town, small city. English.

[QUOTE=Sirioja;2549189]In my opinion, the happiest guy is the one who has no need, when rich want to be richer, WGs think money is happiness. In my beloved mountains, I see people, everybody here would say they are poor with difficult life, waking up early, but they would not leave their life. A guy whose wife look at him with eyes full of love, should also be happy. Paid sex is just a failure, even can have pleasure.[/QUOTE]I've studied the lives of many people past and present and believe that the happiest man who ever lived was Hugh Hefner. He got to bang thousands of stunner girls each one hotter than the hottest FKK stunner.

I take the life like it is coming and just put my energy in things I can change. I always try to adapt to the today situation, not dreaming about the past when the FKK were open for example, now they are closed I have already adapted to it, if they don t open again it will have 0 impact on my life. In the last years I invested in shares and real estate and both are sky rocketing despite the covid or due to the covid all assets have double their value. Never live in the past, never live in the future live now and take action today. As simple as that.

[QUOTE=BigBuddy69;2549451][URL]https://www.grammarly.com/blog/city-town-village-difference/[/URL][/QUOTE]"A city is a large or important town".
Hence Small City, Large town.
Would be ridiculous to call Metz a large city if also calling Paris, Berlin, Rome, London, etc large cities.

Zurich city, not suburb, should be not more than 500 000, small in China. Just matter of standards.
