Believe me, we are just as happy you are leaving! buh-bye!

Thank you for making it so clear that you simply cannot grasp what I have been saying.

Nobody is saying they rob banks. What I am saying is that they are NOT INCLUDED IN THE POPULATION numbers, despite living here for at least half the year. The stats are not "percentage of the population who commit crimes." The stats are "crimes relative to population."

Therefore, since a huge portion of the actual population is not counted, the stats are skewed.

Is this really so hard to understand?

You do understand the definition of irony, though, right?

Some people are just negative, unhappy people in life. They will not be happy no matter where they are. They make bad decisions & instead of admitting to their mistakes, they (b)!tch, whine & blame everything else- the city where they live, the people where they live, the air they breathe, the sun, the moon, the stars. Their posts often reek of immaturity as well. Instead of moving on with their life & trying to fix their problems, they want to spend time and energy spewing negativity. Trying to bring everyone else down, lifts them up. We all know those people in life & unfortunately, through this forum, we know many, many more....

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "A person will be just about as happy as they make up their mind to be"

No place is perfect & no one is oblivious to problems in areas they live. Please, when you find that perfect utopia, let us all know.

You hit it right on the nose!! I could not of said it any better. We moved here 2 years ago from NY, and believe me it was for the better. Was time to escape the rat race.

This forum needs a ROFLMAO icon. Without one, I ask that everyone imagine a smily face rolling back and forth laughing and slapping the floor.

Fixed your snarky post with another snarky post. This is fun!
