This post was never meant to put down Charlotte as some of you closed minded thinkers would judge. In the future please read the entire thread. This will be my last post, Good day.

You get all defensive/emotional/mad because you can't explain yourself in a post?

All you had to do was correct yourself and you would've gotten direct answers to your questions, but one of these posts must've really asked you a question that you didn't want to hear.

Hopefully you'll calm down and open up instead of obviously posting things YOU want to hear. People can help if you are willing to WANT the help.

Once again, I apologize to my Charlotte friends for chiming in, but stuff like this makes my blood boil...

You make an OP about 'your life turned upside down after moving to Charlotte'...folks in Charlotte asked you to be more specific in your definition as to 'what' got turned upside down...and since no one offered you a blankie, a cookie, or a glass of milk (aka patting you on the head and telling you what you want to hear, instead of keeping it real and wanting you to get to the point), then you bust all snark-ola and tell folk to 'enjoy Thanksgiving...I have a life to attend to'? They have lives too, and they took time FROM said lives to try and probe for more information, so they could give an honest answer to you, and you take the low road and get smart...alrighty then...

Well it's like this...if you smear yourself with ground chuck and jump into the lion cage at the zoo, just to see what will happen, don't start crying when the lions have you for an appetizer...

Sorry, but no one asked for your input!...You are not even from NC....You jump on the bandwagon to humiliate and try to make the other person feel worse then they already do...Sure, kick other people when they are down...Sure seems like that's the mentality on here...I sincerely feel sorry for you to have so much hatred in your heart!!!! I wonder how you treat people when you are face to face with them...Here you hide behind a computer, so you can act anyway you choose...Whatever happened to humanity?....

FYI DMG thanks for the support!
^^^^ Why are there still responses accusing the OP of having his own life turned upside down after moving to NC after he clearly stated this was not his personal situation? Maybe he would've gotten a better response if he had asked this question by randomly selecting and speaking to people in person.

OP, My life wasn't turned upside down after giving NC (Charlotte) a try. I decided it wasn't in the best interest of my teenage son after I read this article plus looked at news reports of the increasing number of Gang activity which led me to leave Charlotte. It was my fault by not doing through research before going to Charlotte. Below is the link about the gang activity in Charlotte you can copy and paste it to read it.

Sorry, but when I see Juggalos listed as a gang in your cited link it loses all credibility. If Juggalos are a gang, then so are DeadHeads, Phish heads, Parrot Heads, etc...

LOL..... The Juggalos wasn't the deciding factor for me this news report was. In the addition to the CMS drama. I'm not looking for a debate since I don't dislike Charlotte or the other counties I've visited in the area. I just think when moving anyplace, doing research is always beneficial.

"Closed minded thinkers" doesn't even fit the situation. You need to present comprehensible information when writing. Good day.

Emotional, mad, defensive- you must be kidding. How am I not calm?

Just to set the record straight I don't remember asking for help, just simply stated that I came in contact with some people going through some bad times and asked if anyone went back to their home state. That's it. FYI- I did correct myself.

Sorry, I'm not being all mad or emotional but I have some chores to do, I hope that doesn't offend anyone.
