It lacks a good needle exchange for IV drug abusers, too.

Diversity is not the same as tolerating absolutely anything and everything. COS is diverse, but not entirely tolerant. My observation is that COS citizens do not want to live in a social sewer like San Francisco, and I think that's something to be proud of.

As I said in another thread. Most of the people who ask you to be open minded simply want you to throw out all your beliefs and adopt theirs. The ones who usually ask you to be open minded are some of the most closed minded people, themselves. Open mindedness goes two ways.

Whoah where did that come from? How does a comment about lack of substance lead to this? When I think of substance I don't think drugs and gays... that's a rather messed up and VERY off topic comment.

Go Bob! Thanks for that. I am moving to CS with my whole family because in Billings Montana all you have is drugs, crackheads, dirty cops, and welfare do-nothings. Yes it's growing in Montana. Box stores, government money and casinos. That's the life. So all you down there that like the party scene, come on out. I'll be in CS by spring and would appreciate that you relocate to a "better" more exciting place- like here for example, or Seattle. Take your pick. CS is full of great conservatives- fantastic

Yes, there is a very large Korean population here (due mostly to the large military population). Colorado Springs has everything from religious conservatives to new agers. Colorado Springs also has several colleges and you should easily be able to be within 30 minutes of a college.
