However, I think that both city people and country people have their strengths and weaknesses. Objectively speaking, there are more opportunities in the city and overall a better standard of living.
Once again, I was being sarcastic. Even so, I consider the CSA to be the actual "city" since most people who work in said city do not necessarily live in the city proper. But whatever, this is not the place to argue that point.
Indeed ... Your last sentence is absolutely a pearl of great wisdom !
Without doubt you have got their number Glitch !!! Jolly well said !
How pitiful these bloody muppets truly appear to be and yes these blighters are the very reason for the unparalled decadence within many of America's big cities !!!
I be ah sidin with them thar ole "rednecks" motorbike fellers fer dang sure ! ... They be a mighty rough bunch an all and jest loves ta jack a few jawls ever now an then ... What !
Them thar redneck boys and girls be ah good bunch ah folks ... sometimes ah little "Jaw Jackin" be ah good thang thar ya'll ... Ain't dat so Glitch ?
The "Stigmata" = "Liberal Loons" ... America's destruction from within !
Ya'll ave a really nice dae thar blokes ! Old Sgt. Lamar
Rednecks can cope with whatever disaster comes their way. It does not matter if it is natural or man-made. They will always have food, water, and shelter. When rednecks are facing a disaster, they stay put. They have no reason to go anywhere.
The first thing city critters do when facing a disaster is leave. However, the ONLY place they can go is yet another city because they are incapable of providing for themselves. It is more than just a lack of skill, they are so removed from reality that they lack all common sense. Like Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend who thought it would be "fun" to walk up and be promptly eaten by brown bears in Alaska.
If you put a redneck and some city critter with a PhD in a survival situation, where they only had access to their wits, the city critter would be dead within a week whereas the redneck would be living it large.
When the sheet hits the fan, a country boy will survive!
How many city slickers own a scoped rifle?
How many own a pistol?
No wonder they want to take our guns away, mainly semi-auto long guns.
Those intellectual elites in the city, fear the rednecks that can hit a dime at 500 yards, more so than a city slicker that can't hit a target at 30 yards with there 9mm.
Hey I'am a cityslicker and a redneck gun owner but my markmanship isn't as good as yours though
Oh we call ourselves Appalachians but redneck applies too...
Is that why poverty is higher in rural areas? Is that why educational attainment is lower in rural areas? Is that why unemployment is higher in rural areas? Is that why teen pregnancies are higher in rural areas? Is that why hunger rates are higher in rural areas?
It doesn't matter because if the bus and train/subway isn't running, and there are no cabs to call, they can't leave.
this is a myth. many of us have walked across bridges before (9/11, various strikes) and would do it again.

honestly, it seems like many ppl down south and/or in more rural areas aren't able to cross a street because they've never had to. since they drive everywhere they don't know how to cross a street at all and almost always look lost when they have to.

right but if you and your nephew were to come to say...ny and one of us handed you a map and told you to meet us on the corner of *insert st/blvd/av here* in *insert borough here* in an hour, you would probably feel just as lost.
something we could do before we were 10.
lastly, you'd be surprised as to what type of guns we have here, illegally.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBS 2) — He was arrested for protecting his property and family.
But it’s how the Long Island man did it that police say crossed the line.
He got an AK-47 assault rifle, pulled the trigger and he ended up in jail, reports CBS 2’s Pablo Guzman.
George Grier said he had to use his rifle on Sunday night to stop what he thought was going to be an invasion of his Uniondale home by a gang he thought might have been the vicious “MS-13.” He said the whole deal happened as he was about to drive his cousin home.

An MS-13 gang member whooped it up, shouting "The beast has eaten!" after murdering a Queens man he mistook for a rival Blood, a government witness testified Thursday. Julio Chavez is charged with emptying his revolver into Maurice Parker on May 18, 2007, in Flushing.

An armed Brooklyn teen was arrested early yesterday after refusing orders from police to drop his semiautomatic handgun, cops said.
About 4 a.m., police responded to a report of shots fired at Atlantic and Nostrand Aves. in Crown Heights, where they found the 19-year-old holding a Tec-9.

I mean, I grew up way out in the 'burbs and see their benefits, but if you want to pretend to not realize that cities have more stuff than more rural areas, go ahead.
oh and for the record, i'm a big believer that we should be able to own whatever kind of gun(s) that we want.
criminals that are hellbent on getting auto/semi auto weapons aren't worried about the law. law abiding citizens should be allowed to, without all the bull****, own the same types of weapons.
Please stop wasting my time. Stop proving other's people's points regarding the inability to critically think and do research. It's embarrassing to watch.
Okay, how about I give you the sheet on Jeongja Dong in Seongnam. What is your address? You can pay the postage fees. So ahhh....
Well,you asserted it,I thought you would actually have proof.
Sorry that you seemingly do not have anything to support your assertions.
