Has anyone actually been to rural America (Trump Country)?

[DanielleGreen]

I grew up in the rural South and almost everyone I knew including black people had at least a college degree and worked white collar jobs/own businesses. I'm proud to be from a sh*thole~!

Even "black people"? Wow.

[SillieBazzillie]

It's not impractical if you want to be the envy of your friends while your haulin ass at 80mph across Lake Maurepas or Lake Ponchatrain.


Are you a Prius owner by chance?

lmfao. Enjoy "hauling ass at 80mph" to impress your friends. I'll prefer boats that are more practical and I'll let everything else about me impress my friends and everyone else.

Are you 16 by any chance?

[WarriorRustler]

Even "black people"? Wow.

What's the problem?

[Stizzel]

Even "black people"? Wow.

Yep. Despite what liberals will tell you, black people are able to succeed on their own.

[miscinbro]

What's the problem?

People posting in the R/P are smart enough to at least form basic English sentences, including "WarriorRustler."

You find no problem there, yes?

[dhawkeye1980]

Not all of them are going to be able to make it - if we totally cut off the supply of "free chit" some will die.

But yea, training programs, counseling, drug rehabilitation etc. are all very needed in these areas.

Problem is when you give them the option to just sit around, piss n chit n the street and give them money for drugs they dont want to do anything else. Its basically enabling their behavior

You live in LA right? I think you should get down there and teach people some skills. You must know something. There are lots of places trying to do this. When I lived in LA I tried to frequent Homeboy Industries.

Yeesh, bunch rural folks all triggered up in here. We get it, if you want a lot of land, cheap houses, and lots of hutin' you're good.

If you want high paying jobs, culture, a huge variety of food choices, good schools, and not to be under religion's boot, well not so much.

And those boats are horribly impractical. Would not want.

I'm generally a city guy but there's a difference between variety and quality.

Sure, you get more of a variety of culture and food in cities. But they're lower quality.

Food is generally lower quality because input costs (food, utilities, rent, etc) and labor are more expensive for them. Restaurants have a huge failure rate and a 2% average profit. There's no way they're eating those costs and staying profitable. So, they make up by skimping on portions and using lower quality food and just generally cutting corners.

Food in rural areas -- all you can get is American food. However, the meat is better. You get more. They don't skimp on anything. It's better food.

Culture in cities -- there's a bunch of stuff that 99% of people go to like cultural fairs. They go to them as tourists. It's not "real" culture unless you're an immigrant minority and even then it's just try to recreate what you're missing from home. Culture in rural areas is real. Instead of the cultural fair with a bunch of token foreigners dancing their cultural dance, it's the town fair that's been a 100 year tradition. They are real, indigenous traditions born in the town. The townspeople have real connections to that culture and the activities going on. It's like the foreign culture fair in the actual foreign country. Again, it's a variety vs quality thing.

Why would i have to go down there and teach the homeless? Are you this retarded in real life or are you just trolling?

[miscinbro]

Yea, I guess you could just bitch all day on bb.com about what a shthole your city is. Soooooo much better.

Some people like high performance. Youre just an idiot.

Again so the only alternative is that i go down and teach the 100k how to not to be useless POS?

As with all liberals you should feel honored he wants to tell you how to live

You have strong opinions on what these people need. You claim it bothers you that your city is like this. You seem to have a good deal of free time. It's more than a little hypocritical to blame others for being lazy and hold all these positions.

So im a hypocrite because i dont like my tax money going to drug users and i am against people sleeping and chitting/pissing in the street

Sure

[Ten_Hearts]

I tend to like rural areas but the city affords much better entertainment and job opportunities.

[Foxmulder0]

Some of the nicest and down to earth people I know are from rural america.

Rather have them as my neighbors than any city snob lib

[DanielleGreen]

Even "black people"? Wow.

Well ya know not all blacks are dumb and uneducated. Hell my authoritative parents said College or GTFO. They didn't mess around when it came to education.

He’s not an idiot, he just views life differently than we do. But he states his opinion as fact because it gets a rise out of people. You fell for it.

I just spent 9 years in Shreveport come at me bro!

Actually he is an idiot.

[miscinbro]

Yea, I do. Which is why I found it odd that you had to affirmitly state it.

[miscinbro]

Sure

It means you would rather bitch all day online than do something. That’s like most people.

[JrM703]

Do we really want to talk about ****holes? Most of Trump country is depleted, rusty, and windswept. Nobody has a decent paying job or quality educations. Literacy rates are low compared to the productive parts of the US. They are of ill health. They cling to religious superstitions. They are takers who rely on federal assistance. Anyone with any sort of ambition and dream for a better life has to leave to find it.

I would rather live in Lagos than Mississippi, given those two options.

That feeling when Utah is the No. 1 State for business, Wyoming has the lowest per capita number of welfare recipients, and West Virginia has the lowest per capita crime numbers with the highest per capita gun ownership numbers...

Stay rektd.

BRB Tell your Elitist Liberal Friends to sell their winter homes in Utah and Wyoming

What is he supposed to do, invite people to sleep at his house? Give them money in hopes they turn their lives around?

OP is a liberal from Chicago that probably hasn't left city limits, so go easy on him. He just doesn't know any better.

[SillieBazzillie]

As with all liberals you should feel honored he wants to tell you how to live

Mimsy how am I telling him how to live? I used the words "I prefer".

[SillieBazzillie]

Actually he is an idiot.

lmfao of course the peanut gallery chimes in. You let your jimmies get rustled so easily, the only one of you people that does that to me is Nutso. You mad I'm asthetic bro? Rhetorical question, oh yea you mad.

Sure

From a guy that’s just reading this thread while taking a dump, it seems like you two actually agree on the core idea here on how to take care of the homeless population (job training, etc).

I think he is merely suggesting that some of your time could be used to help with training the less fortunate. LA is going to keep throwing money (welfare) at the problem without actually addressing the problem.

But if you could donate some of your time to help train, mentor, or coach a less fortunate person into a productive member of society, then you are one person closer to having less money suckled from the government teet - which is something we all want.

Edit: not all homeless are junkies, not all of them got themselves in the position they are in by their own actions, and most do not have a way to get out of the lifestyle they are in - especially in a place like LA - and don’t have a way to get out of a place like LA and be able to eat/sleep/survive

[SillieBazzillie]

Some people like high performance. Youre just an idiot.

Some people have deficiencies and insecurities they need to make up for. Some of us don't. I'll bet you drive either a corvette or some big, jacked up black truck. Probably have a Calvin peeing on Obama sticker on the back windshield.
