Conservatives today are bible thumping nation builders hell bent on making everyone become just like themselves. They are intolerant and ignorant. They want a gigantic big brother government and corporate influence. They believe in censorship.

Did you lose track of the question there folks?


I would pick the drug infested neighborhood. Lack of education and money would be the problem there. In a gay neighborhood it's a mental health issue. No fixing that problem.

Its absolutely insane people would pick a drug infested crime ridden neighborhood over a gay neighborhood.

Sure, I would rather live in East Harlem then the West Villiage.

Replace them all with real Americans, that are intouch with what it takes to make and maintain a strong country.

Screw the Republicans
Screw the Democrats
Screw the Libritarians!
I want and need someone like me.... An American, for an America, everyone else envies and wants to be like.

I would choose the trans neighborhood in SF because those people are going to leave me alone whereas in the drug infested neighborhood I'm more likely to get robbed by those who aren't in their right mind and need money.

OR

2) A drug-infested ghetto neighborhood with high crime rate.
I've lived in a (2) neighborhood without incident.

??? I just asked a question...and you're accusing me of hate?!

I'm actually very surprised at the number of people who picked #2. I'd think at least with #1 you're more or less left alone.

If that's interesting to you, it displays a certain lack of education. Has anyone ever explained the meaning of stereotype to you? No? Ask your mom.

You need to ask you mom about some things too, son.

#2. I've lived in the gaybrahood and ghetto. It was the gaybrahood where someone was shot and killed on my stoop. In the ghetto, I was left mostly alone. In SF you'll get lectured for not having your own mesh shopping bag and for telling someone "Bless You" after they sneeze.

70 year old "john" shots and kills transvestite hooker who tries to steal his dead wifes neclaces off from around his neck

OK, you got me to bite. You apparently have NO idea what Conservatives are like. SMALL government is a basic tenet...and you don't think Liberals are intolerant and ignorant? Look at this thread.

However, if they turned out to be at least half addicts it wouldn't be so hot.
