Please let us all know when you find the state with all honest government officials. We will join you.

I know its hard. Many politicians and greedy people reside here. But really I prefer that over bible-thumpers out in western illinois or other states. We can fix the greedy people but we can't fix righteous people.

Your problem with "righteous people" seems to be that they are trying to cram their way of living down your throat. Yet, your solution to the problem of said people is to "fix" them? Wouldn't this involve trying to convert them to your way of living? It's really all the same thing.

Look, nobody likes to have other viewpoints forced upon them, but to imply that righteous people are the only ones guilty of this is incorrect. Personally, I find anyone who is condescending towards me because of their perceptions of who I am to be an offensive person.

Oh, and how do you "fix" a greedy person?

Um, because there are many people who read the Bible and take offense to being called "unfixable".

ok, i understand your view point and i agree. I don't want people to tell me how to live so they should respect that wish and I will do the same. But considering that righteous people rule this country and do tell me how to live. Well, I guess you kind of get to be oppressed next time around
The way you fix a greedy person is by you see i am going to tell you and don't shoot me. Its by shooting them in the back of the head And I say greedy because most greedy people are not nice people. I want to live in an environment with nice people we don't always have to agree on things but we can agree to treat each other with respect. ALWAYS.

You should try living that kind of lifestyle. It is much more upbeat and friendlier. People usually keep their political opinions to themselves in those circles.

I hate where I live. Too many hypocrites. I wasn't born and raised here, so I guess I have a reason to hate them. If you're an outsider, chances are you'll stay one. Almost everyone here is either related to each other or has known each other since diapers or something. I'm used to not seeing anyone that goes to school with me or lives around me when I go to a store or a mall, and when I do see someone I know, it's a treat. But down here, I see them so much that I personally just pretend like I never saw them and keep going about my business. I know, it seems rude, but I honestly hate seeing the people I know or kinda know everywhere I go.
