Big City Folks

[AncientwisdomParticipant 6089]

I’ve been in both places, I’ll take nature’s world over man’s any day of the week!

Your entire post is too long to quote, but the above is a great starting ground.

This entire question is a matter of preference and opinion.

If one prefers nature over urban life, then good on them. I have zero dog in the fight. Its a matter of personal preference. This is diametrically opposed to the thread about grown adults having the desire to have sex with pre-pubescent children, which we both recently posted on.

If you prefer nature over city life, then have at it. Its simply a matter of personal preference and far be it from me to tell anyone else how to live their life.

Enjoy.

FWIW, my mother was born and raised in the South. My father in Los Angeles. Quite the contrasts of studies. I enjoyed both worlds growing up.

I have very fond memories of visiting my grandparents in the South. They taught me to water-ski via their lake house in Texas. We caught fish. Filetted them, and made hush-puppies. We took their pistols and shot root beer cans on the ranch their parents made decades ago.

I recall sitting in the back of their truck, fresh fish caught by my side, and watching fireflies zipping by my eyes.

I wouldnt trade these memories for the world…

******************************

I also recall my fathers parents, in Los Angeles. My grandfather came to the West Coast from Armenia out of the genocide from Turkey. They worked their asses off to avoid poverty. They created a dairy in LA. Purchased real estate. Made investments that I have benefited from still to this day.

I recall: weddings, thanksgiving, and christmas. These immigrants brought their heritage to the country. Hell, my great, great grandfather carried a tea console made out of brass on his back. Go to Glendale CA and its full of wealthy Armenians. They carried their life blood and work ethic with them.

My point is, I have experienced both lifestyles. Its up to each individual what he prefers.

Neither one is right or wrong.

Resident cynic.

So we can agree on one thing: For folks like me it’s nice to take a dip in civilization once in a while, luxury and pampering beyond anything in the woods.

And for folks like yourself, its nice to take a dip in the country for a change of pace, and to take it all in.

Agreed?

As far as work ethics go; in liberal systems of government we all (men) work for the collective hive, and drop dead as worker bees.

In a conservative system of government we keep much of the fruits of our labor, stimulating the desire to work for even more.

A liberal form of government dictates that hard work is only going to cost more in taxes, and being lazy is rewarded by the extra hard work of others. Work is for nothing!

Perhaps that’s why many of the city’s in the north are no longer habitable by respectable human beings. Remember, my (CITY) experiences are in extremely blighted cities where human life is considered expendable and cheap!

I’m sure if you saw places like Detroit, (where the empty lots vastly outnumber the homes), hypodermic needles that collect against fences and in corners where the wind blows them, have your frontend destroyed by the crater size potholes, gangs that look at you like a piece of meat to be eaten alive, the corrupt rules and regulations that destroy some businesses, while advancing others that pay bribes to corrupt politicians, I’m sure the trees and wilderness would seem like more of a friend.

The northern U.S. is dying, it has been ever since the liberal feminist mindset took root here more than 50 years ago.

Just in my “alleged” neighborhood alone, tax default and property abandonment is over 90%, I live in a dysfunctional society that is certainly dying.

The only “life” to be found around here is where these socialists are NOT! IN THE WOODS!

Demolition= PROGRESS! Something only a democrat liberal feminist with an agenda would say!

LIBERALISM=DEMOLITION

I hear you’ve got great maple syrup as well. 🙂

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

@AW: I’m on the other end of US Hwy 80 from you though I think I-8 was built over it.. I spent a summer in San Diego as a kid. Awesome place. You’re right about SD Bay too.

@Tower: I always felt like I was visiting another country up in the Northeast. Some of your wackos have migrated here though the refugees, literally, are more numerous. We make them honorary Southerners if they will eat a boiled peanut.

The maple syrup is the one thing I really like, but like everything else around here it too is endangered by the longhorn beadle, A free trade by-product that came over here from China in the wood crates of MANUFACTURED GOODS!
You know, those places around here that are all boarded up, with all metals (copper wiring, copper pipe, aluminum, and tin) all sent to CHINA SMELTERS to feed their ECONOMIC BOOM, and to feed the politicians pockets that promote these atrocities all for the reward of self enrichment.

Abandon cities in the north, tent cities in the south! Gee, what could possibly be WRONG with America, MG-Tower? Yea! It’s the messengers fault, get that f~~~ing MG-Tower!

We’ve gotten these Formosan Termites imported here from free trade and now voracious Lion Fish are multiplying off the coast which are quite delicious by the way. These f~~~ing termites will destroy a home like ten times faster than our little pussy native termites.

Yes, the tent cities are a very nice addition to our communities. I remember there were only a select few overpasses that had tent encampments of mostly schizophrenic addicts. Now, they are every f~~~ing where. I even once saw a fairly attractive woman with her small child coming out from under one near where I live. She was dirty but did not look like a classic homeless person.

People living in vans in front of your house too which is no longer a problem for me anymore. That’s city life right there.

Free trade is slave trade except the whole world is the plantation this time around.

I was living in a big city, Jakarta, the capitol of Indonesia, and the population is about 10 million – 12,5 million.
Can’t stand with the never ending street noise, polluted air, etc. and decide to move away.

Now i living in a less crowded area, and my nearest neighbour are about 100-150 meters away, it is so peaceful.
