^ Exactly
^^^^Everyone was picking fun of Myrtle beach it wasn't just me.
^^^^^And you know how many hundreds if not thousands of zip codes are in the LA area? Of course you could find the highest income area. And unfortunately yes there is a trend, higher income areas, more educated people. As i said, statistically the more urban people live, the more they make, and the more they are educated. I'm obviously not saying that rural people are stupider naturally, i'm just saying in terms of education statistically more urban areas have a higher percentage of educated people.

Quote :
"also i already mentioned a few pages ago that most peopel who go to Myrtle are from Ohio/Michigan/NY/NJ (cold northeast or landlocked)...because they are cold places or places away from the coast...not because people are richer and smarter
"

Funny how all the states you listed are neither landlocked nor cold in the summer.

Quote :
"And yes the outter banks of North Carolina and South Carolina ARE some of the best coastlines in the US, but once you hit anywhere near myrtle beach, it very quickly goes to the WORST beaches in the world. Myrtle beach doesn't preserve anything, it's trash and the only thing natural they haven't destroyed is the water."

I know you may not be able to comprehend the idea i'm about to layout (and i don't necessarily condone it) but some people's idea of a perfect beach is one where they won't get eaten alive by bugs, get their legs tangled in seaweed or have to worry about creatures while they're laying/playing on the beach.

And if its all poor people in myrtle beach how do you explain the highrise condo sales that continue to boom in Myrtle beach? How do you explain all the high valued property being sold and even the timeshare sales? Do you really believe people are driving far as hell to some of the worlds best coastline only to PASS IT and go a little further to the worlds worst beach?

Define "world's best coastline". In my opinion Myrtle beach would be among the world's worst coastline. Everything about it is destroyed. As i said previously, the dunes, 99 percent of the wildlife, and pretty much everything that makes a great coastline a great coastline. If you go anywhere else in the world, or even closer places like Hawaii those "coastlines" put shame to Myrtle beach. Ok i admit it, part of the reason i HATE going to Myrtle beach is because of the development and destruction of what once used to be a great coastline.

Sorry i just can't go somewhere, where humans have completely destroyed the beach and surrounding area. Yes you're right, it makes money, and lots of people go there. But there's no way in hell it's even in the top 1000 coastlines on the planet in terms of a "coastline".

I'd rather spend 10 minutes on a coast in Australia or hell the Galopogos then a week at Myrtle beach. It puts shame to what we call "coastllines" and just puts shame to humanity in general. I mean look at what we did to it. It's polluted, nasty, and nothings natural about it, side from the water.

As far as the economic argument goes, yes you got me, it makes money, and people go there. But in my opinion, NOT the type of people who care about our planet. (call me hippy fag or whatever you want, yes i care about preserving beautiful locals especially ones in our own state, or nearby.)

And what pisses me off is people have to make thier highrise condos, fast food joints, attractions and what not on top of what used to be there and call it a "get away." It's locations where this doesn't happen, and people respect what was there before that are truly the sought out locations. I mean it physically makes me sick to walk down Myrtle beach with all those people and developments. Yeah sure developements are fine, and people need places to live, but destroying such a great place and putting high density residential is just stupid.

No I was asking why do people pass nc and the outer banks which is some of the worlds best coastline to go to myrtle which you call "some of the worst"

If you read what I said I'm saying alot of people don't like the dunes and wildlife. They just want sand, ocean and waves. crabs, bugs, birds and such can be a major annoyance to people trying to enjoy the "beach". Sure it may be wrong from an ecological standpoint but people are able to live with wildlife.

On the outerbanks you walk through about 20 feet of grass and dunes filled with fire ants, crabs, and hungry mosquitos to get to the beach. Thats no fun.

^ Yeah so lets destroy all the annoying life that was there before so we can get drunk and drive motorcycles!!! WOOHOO!!!

I've never met anyone in my entire life that has trouble enjoying a natural beach until now. And you're not defining a "beach" it's something completely different. Myrtle "beach" is a human creation that should never be labeled an actual "beach" or coastline.

And yes most people who go to these type of "beaches" are Pansies. Americans are so stuck up and stupid sometimes. We are sheltered in our little "beach paradises" like Myrtle beach and people in America don't realize what REAL beaches and coastlines are like. Nothing comes free, and I respect my own life, and my planet more than to disgrace myself by going to Myrtle beach and calling it a beach.

Year 2050

Scenario #1 (to my kids, whenever i have them) Guess what i did when i was in my 20's. I drove my motorcycle to Myrtle beach, the best beach on earth, and got drunk and hardly remembered it!!!

Scenario #2 I actually took some effort to research and find a great beach, completely untouched from developers and contractors, and learned something about my planet, and myself and rememered every bit of it. Children i feel sorry for those people who wasted thier vacations getting drunk and spending money at places like Myrtle beach (which is gone by now because we've weeded out the idiots from our population).

Seriously, go travel and have a life changing experience, i gurantee you won't have one at Myrtle Beach, SC, unless you get drunk and get a confederate flag tattooed to your ass. What kind of world are you trying to live in anyway?

in order to say the Outer Banks is some of the worlds best coastline, wouldn't that require visiting this "World" you speak of to compare it against?

Maybe we do and don't like what you call a "Real" beach as much as a developed beach. Don't act like giant Carribean resorts conserve so much more of their property than the ones in myrtle either.

Why does going to myrtle beach = getting drunk to you? Being drunk in public is illegal in Myrtle Beach and HIGHLY patrolled. You're the one that talked about drinking beer in the middle of nowhere for entertainment. Learning about your planet is fine but it doesn't have to be what you do on your vacation.

And what makes you think nobody took effor to research Myrtle Beach. All these people driving across the country aren't landing in Myrtle Beach by chance and it sure isn't the first beach they reach as they are passing highly developed beaches like Atlantic City, Ocean City, Virginia Beach and then all the undeveloped beaches in nc.

Exactly, Myrtle beach is to beaches as UNC is to basketball programs, music on g105 is to music, mtv to vh1 etc. All among the best and tww hates it.

Nobody visits the entire world so by that logic nobody could ever say something like that. Its pretty much common knowledge that its some of the best coastline in the world.

thank you, that is the entire point that everyone has been making and you are ignoring. Just b.c Myrtle Beach gets a high rate of visitors and is "popular" (arguable) does not mean in a longshot that it is even in the top 100 beaches in the world.

#1 high school vacation beach, fine i'll concede and give it that award

There are some of us here who have travelled extensively and can assure you that Myrtle Beach pales in comparison to what the a lot of the rest of the world has to offer.

The last quote was about the outer banks and carolina beaches in general not myrtle. I was driving the point that people drive past some of the best coastline in the world to get to myrtle.

If its not because of quality you still have yet to explain why so people go to myrtle beach. Its not like its an hour from nyc or dc (atlantic, ocean city) or anything. The reasons you have claimed are that they are just so poor its the only thing they can afford but that clashes with the fact that people drive extra far to get there and it has expensive resorts and luxury. condo sales are booming. Your argument just doesn't add up. Basically, it sucks because YOU don't like it.

Treetwistas reason was because its a beach and its not cold but the entire east coast has beaches most of which are pretty warm so something has to be special about myrtle.

Well what does? You saying so? A great beach is a thing of opinion and the best concrete facts to go with when arguing opinions is how many people like it. You are probably the same type of person that thinks the indie band you listen to is better than a band like nickelback that is constantly on the billboard. For some reason your opinion means more than the opinion of millions.

If myrtle beach is the best beach why do so many people stop at other beachs along the way. Yes every beach has it's condo sales and shit, but the average family traveling will spend much less there than at a NC beach (I'm not saying NC beaches should make a top 10 list). Hell I've been to 8 of the top 10 beaches in the world by that list (and I would say only 1 of them was special).

Myrtle beach may be popular but just because something is popular doesn't make it the best. By your logic the toyota camry or budweiser would be the best car and beer in the world. It's just what the common man can afford.

Yeah man some of us have traveled and experienced far better beaches, and maybe those other Beaches are just uncomparible in most ways to Myrtle and even NC/SC beaches.

Continuing on, you could say it's like drinking Bud-Light and so it's popular and everyone drinks it, but that does not mean it's the best beer in the world by any long shot. Then once you travel around and taste all types of beer from around the world you come to the conclusion that even though budlight is great for certain situations, there are plenty of other better, and more interesting Unique beers out there.

Yeah and some of us have traveled and truthfully most people i knew and grew up with traveled around the world for various reasons and have come to the same conclusion about beer and beaches.

Lol I'm going to let a scientist tell me where to go on vacation. I want to go to a place with no roads, entertainment or resorts. All I want to do off the beach on my vacation is learn about Blackbeard! How exciting!!! Who really needs hotels or restaurants when I can just go to a B&B!!!

But too bad I'm too poor and can't afford this greatness. I'll just have to pass it and go a few more miles to Myrtle and buy a highrise luxury condo like the thousands of other trailer trash . My kids and husband will be so disapointed when they find out that they'll have to go to amusement parks, world class shows and golf/minigolf, while me and my daughter will run out of things quick because lets face it, bugs and creatures won't woo us while we're on the beach tanning and the hot tubs, lazy rivers, several pools, excercise room arcade and spa will get old quick so we'll be forced out to the tens of boring outlet malls WHEN WE ALL COULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING SEA TURTLES AND LEARNING ABOUT BLACKBEARD INSTEAD

Then for breakfast we'll have eitehr eat at our resorrt or go out and choose from a million pancake houses. Why should i be faced with the burden of picking from a million options when I could be at a B&B and get a breakfast thats already been prepared?

If the booming central area of the strip is all booked up from all the PEOPLE. (yuck I hate those things. who wants to go somewhere where there are freaking PEOPLE. people are the worst thing to come across on a vacation.) Then we might have to stay on the southern end of ocean boul where no construction has been allowed on the ocean side and there are dunes and uninterupted beach. Soudns ok but theres always a catch. WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO RESEARCH THERE BECAUSE ALL THE ANIMALS ARE GONE! How does somebody expect me and my family to not be able to conduct research while on our vacation? RUDE! Get this, if we want to see any type of sea life we will have to go to an aquarium that gives you the perspective of walking through the ocean and spills all the beans/mystery about what you're looking at. but all the sharks and fish we see will be captives instead of out with us so theres no fun in that.

Then for dinner, we'll have to go somewhere different from where we ate breakfast because frankly, we won't be able to find where we ate at even if we could find it we couldn't remember where we ate because you don't remember any part of your myrtle beach vacation.

Then we return home to our trailer from the horrible vacation we will tune into the world cup, not because its the best thing on television that night but just because we, like the majority of the world can't afford to turn it to the national geographic channel which is really the BEST tv.

Maybe one day I will afford to send my daughter to an indie concert in a restarant basement or soemthing instead of the cheap 500 bux to put her front row and kelly clarkson. We want to listen to all the good music but when we're on itunes they all cost 99 cents but we don't have time to search for the best music because we could be making extra hours working to put food on the table so we just download the popular things that are right off the main page.

Dude i never said people shouldn't have that lifestyle, it's just not at all what i would want. Who paid 500 dollars for a Kelly Clarkson ticket? You realize that every resort/touristy place in America you can do all those of things. Hell you could have an experience at Myrtle beach and go to Disney land/world or some other place and have almost the same experienced when compared to traveling somewhere unique.

I'd use that 500 dollars and buy a ticket somewhere unique and interesting. You don't have a defense when you're stating the mundane and average. You're simplying stating what most people do. Again it's always personal preference and based upon life experience. People do what pleases them, and Myrtle beach does not please me or 99 percent of the people i knew and grew up with. That's not a negative thing, just me.

The same corperate America that created a contest to allow every us citezen to compete against each other and vot amongst themselves who was the best singer and get a contract. The same contest Kelly Clarkson of all people won?

And unless corperate America is stupid. They would pick the best music that more people will like to invest in and maximize profit. Or else somebody else would come along and invest in the "real" music and blow the away in the market.

Well alot more people prefer Myrtle over anywhere in N.C. and it sure pleases them too because they keep coming back year after year. Its ok if you don't like it but don't act like just because you and your friends hate it doesn't mean its bad.

You guys have your own little way of twisting everything. You can't compare beaches to beer's cars or any type of price varying product because its not like going to Myrtle beach is a fraction of the price as a North Carolina beach (its actually more but for the sake of your pitiful argument i'll say they are ~ the same)

Your little Mcdonalds claim does not apply because people eat at mcdonalds because its cheaper than wherever has better food nearby. It doesn't cost less to go to than N.C.
Quote :
"pop music is like bud light"

This is idiotic. Pop music is cheaper than non pop music? Is that why I can pay 5$ and watch some small guy at the cats cradle but a Kelly concert can cost me anywhere up to a few G's?

Songs on itunes all cost 99 cents- so the most downloaded will be the best
Once you have programming, tv shows all cost the same to watch so the most watch tv show will be the best

If I go to Ocracoke or the outer banks my only costs will be the cheap old hotel/bed and breakfast i stay at or condo i rent. If I go to Myrtle I will probably spend more on lodging and after you account for food and entertainment (which I coudln't buy on ocracoke) I will spend exponentially more at Myrtle. The highrise condos in Myrtle are selling like hotcakes and a 2br hotel room usually costs about 300k. You don't even want to know what oceanfront houses on the strip are running for.

So its like bud light being 10 bux a bottle or a camry selling for 50 grand and still being the top selling car. Simply doesn't add up. This just like the trailer park comparisons are idiodic and you have twisted them just to serve them up to help your diseased argument.

Do you really need this spelled out for you?

POPULARITY DOES NOT EQUAL BEST

The most downloaded song on the internet is the most popular. That does not make it the best song ever.

The most popular restaurant is McDonald's, it makes the most money. That does not make it the best restaurant.

The most popular beach in the Carolinas might be Myrtle, it might have a better economy than all the other beaches. THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT THE BEST BEACH.

Mcdonalds is popular because its near everybody and its the cheapest place to eat. Myrtle costs more and is further away than nc to many of the people coming there so you make no sense at all.

Alot of you should be taking some economics classes over the summer instead of going to the beach.

Dude how many places have you traveled in the world? Everyone goes to Myrtle Beach cause it's cheap. And yes even beach front property and condos are cheap compared to other places. I mean come on, Mytle beach is known for everything being cheap, and it's the south and everything is cheap anyway.

Go to california or Hawaii or around the world, THEN you'll realize that's where things are actually expensive. Most beach front property in cali, hawaii, or even florida, make even the nicest mansions on Myrtle Beach look like 100 square foot bungolos.

Yes i've been all over Mytle beach and eaten at the "finest, most expensive restaraunts" and those are still cheap compared to prices in like California, Miami, or Hawaii. Why do you think New Englanders come to SC and go to Myrtle beach? Because it's all very very cheap.

Relatively but you have to keep perspective. You were on for a second but you are slowly losing perspective again and its key to stay focused on the prize.

And you lose out with something called "delusional novelty". Just because you live near Myrtle and can easily go there you can't appreciate it. But some place on the opposite side of the globe is the best just because you don't have an opportunity to go there. Just like if you've had 10 blondes and 1 redhead you are probably goign to be more fascinated with redheads. But don't be mad, its human nature to want what you don't currently have. Take some classes on that as well.

Of course those places you listed are more because everything is more there The entire cost of living is more. Is the entire state of California better than the entire state of nc? I doubt it but the land value is just more.

(i'll put this in bold because thats the only way you'lll read it and its important since you agree with the ocracoke being #1 thing. we're talking about driving distance alternatives because there are way too many variables when you involve crossing the globe.

Every beach North of myrtle ie wilm area, crystal coast, outer banks, vb, atlantic city, ocean city, deleware, nj that the people who live in nc sc virginia, maryland all the ne, ohio , michigan, kenucky has much cheaper rates and is further north. If myrtle was more expensive and further away, people woulnd't pass better, cheaper beaches to get there.

Is myrtle the best beach in the world? no

A>Is it the cheapest beach in the Carolinas? easily one of the most expensive. Hilton head is probably more expensive

B>Is it the most popular beach in the carolinas? easily

there fore (A+B)> IS it the best beach in the carolinas? definately

Are the Carolinas some of the best beach in the world? yes, up there

Would it be crazy to consider the best beach in one of the best beach regions of the world one of the best beaches in the world? absolutley not.

Maybe getting an education off wikipeida is where you went wrong. If thats going to teach me something is the worst because more people like it than anything else, pay extra and go out of their way to get it then I don't want to click it. You know, alot of times people are able to falsely edit wikipedia with sarcasm and jokes.

"Myrtle costs more and is further away than nc to many of the people coming there so you make no sense at all.

Alot of you should be taking some economics classes over the summer instead of going to the beach.

"


i think the only lesson i need is in advertising, which is probably the reason that people from out of state go there. Myrtle Beach gets passed on by word of mouth and extensivly by advertising more then other beaches in the area. So of course people from other places well be like "oh i heard myrtle beach is cool" because they probably have not visited or even heard about other beaches in NC.

If i was planning a trip to Mexico. I am sure there is a lot of places to visit the beach in Mexico a lot better then Cancun. However, Cancun is well known and i would be better off picking a place I have heard about. The other choice is picking some random place on the coast and hoping it is a nice place to visit.

Dude, your logic is so full of shit.

Quote :
"And you lose out with something called "delusional novelty". Just because you live near Myrtle and can easily go there you can't appreciate it. But some place on the opposite side of the globe is the best just because you don't have an opportunity to go there."


Let me explain this to you again. No one i know, whether it's friends in Virginia, New England, California, Japan or New Zealand, NO ONE i know wants to come to Myrtle beach, SC. There are plenty of places nearby i enjoy greatly. Myrtle beach is not one of them. Also just because something is far off doesn't mean it's desirable.

For example last time i was in France, i went to Limoges to play in an international symphony, and the music was alright, and the town was average, but just because it's over seas doesn't mean i'd like to visit it again. To me Limoges, France isn't any different than some place in NC i wouldn't want to see again. Sure it's France, but it's not Paris or Carcassonne (i like castles). The point i'm trying to make is that the location usually doesn't determine whether people travel there or not. It's what's actually there that matters. So your little argument is shit because it doesn't apply.

You could make the argument that it's human nature to want a redhead in a group of blonds, but if the redhead was butt ugly (Like Myrtle beach) then i would take a blond any day of the week.

Oh and yes i have an oppurtunity to go where ever i want, and it's not by any means because i always have the money to do so, it's because i take oppurtunities.

Oh and i can't stress this enough, Myrtle beach is not unique, Myrtle beach is not special, Myrtle beach has no interesting culture or class. Sure it makes money, but it makes money just like a slot machine makes money off of people. The experience of putting a coin in the slot is not unique, the clicking sound it makes is not unique, and most people give all thier quarters away and lose like all the people who go to Myrtle beach on a regular basis. For the other percentage of the population hats off to you all for beating the system, and doing something other than playing slot machines for a vacation.
