I don't understand why they would do this in the boondocks of hillbilly land.

****ing racist!

But back on subject since I have no interest in seeing this thread turn into a thread about alby...

This is great news for Kansas City. Congrats!

**xtrudood** · 03-31-2011, 03:03 AM

KCMO is KCK's bigger, flashier sister.

Not bad for the boondocks, eh, Albie?

Oh and there's nothing racist about calling out West hillbilly land. That's where hillbillies are from, aint it? And how is hillbilly racist? Did I say all white people are hillbillies? No. I'm not like Dave Floyd or Doc making blanket statements like "Black men rape white women".

Yes, lot of hills in KANSAS.

KCMO is older and wealthier, having been founded in the 1850s. KCK was founded and incorporated about 1870, after the Civil War and the bad blood that generated between Missouri and Kansas.

But they're two separate cities, right? Why have confusion by naming two neighboring cities in different states with the same name?

**lungumnentibe** · 03-31-2011, 03:46 AM

i was thinking of starting a thread about the difference between grass fed and grain fed beef. I just did not think many here would know there steaks.

sorry OT

**Fertionbratte** · 03-31-2011, 04:57 AM

And which Kansas City is that? Kansas or Missouri?

See this is retarded that two cities that border each other have the same name!

Dude are you seriously trying to compare the historical significance of Philly vs. Kansas City? It's not even close.

History? Nah. Economy, Culture and Livability? HELL YEAH!

**AricGoffgog** · 03-31-2011, 05:13 AM

They are in seperate states.

**bortycuz** · 03-31-2011, 05:18 AM

They are in seperate states.

So two separate cities? Who was the idiot who named the second Kansas City same as the first?

**GennadiyRom** · 03-31-2011, 05:29 AM

Springfield, MO aint far from Kansas City, either.

I did say "most".

**duminyricky** · 03-31-2011, 05:56 AM

Hey Alby... STFU.

Nobody gives a **** about you or philly... or that you are so stupid that even the marines won't take you...

This thread is about Google... not about how you think Kansas City sucks vs Philly.
Frankly, Philly sucks and is pretty much the ***hole of the US. And every time you post, you simply prove it.

So go **** yourself and actually let a real discussion about a topic occur without trying to make everything about you.

**Pharmaciest** · 03-31-2011, 06:01 AM

I imagine Kansas City was chosen because the IT infastructure wasn't there compared to other major cities(being, as Albie pointed out, "in the boondocks". Of course "Boondocks" is Tagalog for mountains but I digress) which makes it a better largescale "lab" for proving the viablity. That Boeing has a large manufacturing facility in the area means that there will be a demand for that kind of data anyway.

Of course, I wouldn't want to live in KC. Either one.

**qilmuz6v** · 03-31-2011, 06:40 AM

There is a London in Canada and a London in England. They are two separate cities. It is anticipated that they will remain separate cities particularly as they are on different continents. I don't know who the idiot was who named the first city the same as the first.

Lots of cities have the name.

Yeah but cities that border each other, Braindead.

Sour grapes much?

Greater Kansas City is headquarters to several Fortune 500 companies (Sprint Nextel Corporation, H&R Block, YRC Worldwide Inc., and International Assets Holding Corporation) and additional Fortune 1000 corporations Great Plains Energy, Aquila, AMC Theatres, Applebee's, DST Systems, Garmin International, Cerner, Seaboard Corporation, and Russell Stover Candies). Three international law firms, Lathrop & Gage, Stinson Morrisson & Hecker, and Shook, Hardy & Bacon are also based in the City. Hallmark Cards's gross revenues certainly would qualify it for both lists, but it cannot be included because it is privately owned by the Hall family. Numerous agriculture companies operate out of the city . Dairy Farmers of America, the largest Dairy Co-op in the United States is located here. Kansas City Board of Trade is the principal trading Exchange for hard red winter wheat — the principal ingredient of bread. Black and Veatch, Perceptive Software, Compass Minerals, Ash Grove Cement, Ferrellgas, and Bats Exchange, Inc are also based in the Kansas City area...
...One of the largest drug manufacturing plants in the United States is the Sanofi-Aventis plant located in south Kansas City on the campus developed by Ewing Kauffman's Marion Laboratories.[51] Of late, it has been developing some academic and economic institutions related to animal health sciences, an effort most recently bolstered by the selection of Manhattan, Kansas, at one end of the [52] Kansas City Animal Health Corridor, as the site for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, which is tasked, among other things, to research animal-related diseases.

Ford Motor Company operates a large manufacturing facility just outside of Kansas City in Claycomo at the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant, which currently builds the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, Ford F-150, and Mercury Mariner. The General Motors Fairfax Assembly Plant s located in adjacent Kansas City, Kansas. Smith Electric Vehicles builds electric vehicles in the former TWA/American Airlines overhaul facility at Kansas City International Airport.

The Kansas City Plant dedicated by Harry Truman and currently operated by Honeywell produces and assembles 85 percent of the non-nuclear components of the United States nuclear bomb arsenal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City,_Missouri

Of course, I wouldn't want to live in KC. Either one. Your loss.

**DumErrory** · 03-31-2011, 05:38 PM

I wouldn't be surprised to see Topeka and/or KCMO added. KCK is only ~150,000 people and Google has stated its intention for upwards of 500,000 people in this test.

Btw, KCMO is a nice place.

**actifadepette** · 03-31-2011, 07:00 PM

No. hillbillies are from Appalachia and around Pittsburgh are known as hilljacks. Now, why are you so ****ing ignorant?

And yet Springfield Missouri gives an award "Hillbilly of the Ozarks"

Why are you so ****ing ignorant and have no reading comprehension?
