Nh

[WannaComeHome]

Please if you're considering moving here, at least visit here, look in the local newspaper for jobs and talk to the local townspeople(without telling them you're thinking about moving here, they'll put on a sweet masqurade)

uh.... thing is that you write as if no one ever says that. And we do. We very strongly advocate that people take more than one or two vacations in NH - as much as possible for as long as possible, so they can get an idea if it's right for them. No one wants people to uproot their families and move across country or even up the coast only to have said person unhappy and then move everyone back. It's sad. You gotta do your homework. We say this all the time.

That's sorta the point behind having these state forums is to enable people to do their homework. They have questions, they can ask people who currently or previously have lived in NH. They can investigate BEFORE the move.

NH is not for everyone, it's obviously not for you. That's fine. But there are other ways of imparting information without suddenly jumping in with guns blazing spewing hatred for the state. Of course it has it's flaws and we do admit them and make sure people understand that. I'm sorry you didn't before you moved to NH. I hope you are able to move someplace you'll be happier soon.

BTW, just because DEA has an office in NH does not necessarily mean that there is a huge drug problem (that is, more than any other state). have you ever heard of regional offices? New England is a small area comparatively. If you have a NE office, ya gotta put it somewhere. So what if they chose NH for a central location.

isn't it funny how this person states their opinion and is not heard from again on the thread. still sounds like a troll to me.

Yeah, he is trolling unfortunatley. I responded and broke down his every statement in the last thread he made before it was shut down. This one will be shut down too eventually.

His other thread was locked before I saw it, but really it made me chuckle. What can you say to someone who is on an obvious rant?

Uh, actually your very first post to City-Data on all the negatives that you perceive in NH really is close to being libelous (slander is spoken). Here is a definition for you:

An untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media, that injures the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because libel is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. Libel is a form of defamation , as is slander (an untruthful statement that is spoken, but not published in writing or broadcast through the media).

Since you are not targeting a single person, but a whole state, it can't hold, but the spirit is still there (as a singular libel, but perhaps would as group libel). The negative generalizations, untruths and name calling are not a free speech right. I only bring this up because your initial comment in this thread was that you had a right to free speech unless it "slander or vocal ravagement." Well, it seems that is exactly what you did in your initial post.

The vast majority of us here in the NH forum have made a conscious decision to make it our home based on our own personal desires and preferences. To slam those desires is simply bad form. It explains why your initial thread was closed and received such harsh feedback. The post also left people desiring to have a conversation and not a slap in your face, no where to go.

I really doubt that you would have received such a response if you had approached it as "NH is not working for me," and listed the reasons why with an intent to converse and not simply create a negative billboard. I don't think anyone here is trying to hide the "warts" of NH, but we also don't think we live in a bad place either.

The vast majority of your complaints are quite subjective and therefore open to personal interpretation. Please try to be open to respecting the people you are trying to communicate with and you will find a more welcoming response, especially when it is subjective - even if the point you are trying to get across is a negative.

I have negative feelings about some of the states I've visited, but it's all perception. I would not dream of trashing California because of my bad experience.


There is good and bad in everything.

I agree, this is a troll looking for a quick lunch.

Well lets not feed it anymore. I am tired of these folks coming on here and posting 1 post only to complain. What is the point? If you are so unhappy, do everyone a favor, dont troll the forums, just leave quitely. You have every right to feel as you do. But I dont get why only the ONE post. That is what makes you suspicious. I closed the first one you started, and you feel the need to start another thread..why? This is now closed. If you start another one, it will be closed, you will be infracted.

Verseau and Wanna, thank you for your responses. They were very good posts.
