I disagree, which is why I choose to live amongst them.

I've driven through. I saw a few too many confederate flags for my comfort, which incidentally is what this thread is about. A crazy amount of poverty, too. It's terribly sad.

There's certainly a lot more to see in Chicago.

Maybe try a place not ranked near the bottom of everything?

Yes. They're for people who don't like people.

...then closes the door and continues masturbating to banned books.

This is why everyone should leave their backwoods little town at some time in their life. It's so you don't end up becoming a small-minded, hateful, misinformed bigot.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard today.

The GOP senators are literally standing in the way of prosecuting pedophiles by negotiating in bad faith. These people are psychopaths.

Contact them and let them know what you think.

Guns in bars should be illegal. Full stop.

> PADEP says it began when the town filled an abandoned strip mining pit with residential trash. Then, they intentionally lit the trash on fire. ... because there was not a non-combustible barrier in place, the fire spread from the trash to the exposed Buck Mountain Coal seam in the pit, and it's been burning underground ever since.

I had no idea that's how the Centralia fire started. This reads like something from the Idiocracy script.

For me, it's decades of being told that I'm going to hell by people who don't understand basic science and who look the other way when their religious leaders rape children. I grew up in a Baptist church full of people who claimed to follow the teachings of Christ while being small-minded and mean to people who look different than them.

I didn't have that same experience in any other group I participated in later in life. There are dumb, spiteful people everywhere but Christian churches seem to aggregate them.

There is also the fact that they believe in what's obviously a fairytale. Being a devout Christian says a lot about the state of your mind and whether or not you live in reality.

SORT YOUR FUCKING PART BINS HOME DEPOT AND I MIGHT LOOK THE OTHER WAY.

We're roughly the same age and the world population has nearly doubled since our childhood. People have too many kids and consume at a rate that exceeds our planet's capacity to sustainably provide.

Just because some dickhead doesn't take their responsibility seriously doesn't mean you're off the hook for your contributions to sharing resources. We all have to do our part.

Semi-automatic rifles are. And letting psychos buy them.

>completely helpless to fight back against the fascist dictator.

The right literally elected someone who attempted to overthrow an election, and nominated a gubernatorial candidate in this state who was a Christian nationalist, you ignorant troll.

If we get to a point when we need to fight our government, it's not going to matter whether or not a particular type of semiautomatic rifle is legal because we'll be at war. Right now I'm more worried about the classrooms full of kids getting shot up by morons with AR-15s.

That's utter horseshit. Most people on the left have no issue with those who hunt, as far as the law is concerned.

Most of us who want increased gun control don't think you need a semi-automatic rifle with a tactical grip to hunt an animal that can't shoot back. And we think the people who claim that they NEED weapons of war to hunt are deep down, scared, weak, gullible people.

You lack an understanding of how the criminal justice system works and what Krasner is trying to do. That whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing is an an important part of our constitution.

I wonder if the GOP candidates on the bad side of a close election will argue that undated ballots should be counted...

Honestly, they should be, but it's so upsetting that they double down on voter suppression when it suits them. They're terrible people.

Maybe we should impeach the Lancaster DA.

"Stand up to" and "attack" are pretty different things.

That's fair, but most of us disagree with you which is how democracy is supposed to work.

Listen to Rachel Maddow's podcast on Spiro Agnew... I don't know that those old days we remember we're ever actually a thing.

I don't put political signs on my lawn, but I kind of like knowing which of my neighbors is a Nazi...

Me too,
