Anonymous Coward User ID: 25647766 United States 03/31/2013 07:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is the Northeast, so fucking BACKWARDS, that they think they are STILL the place to be ? Quoting: Winslow 36999542 Im from Philadelphia... A place that is traditionally known as being the "northeast" even though its really the Mid Atlantic... It is north of the Mason Dixie line, and east of Illinois. and it is along the I95 belt, infact, I95 runs through Philadelphia, with MULTIPLE MAJOR exit and entry points, AND train system that uses I95 !!!! Here are the facts about Philadelphia... It is a Majority Black area. The percentage of people with High School Diplomas has always been, one of the lowest in America. Philadelphia has one of th highest Obesity, Diabetes, and STD rates in America. The percentage of those living below both national and the local poverty line, is greater than 50 % Philadelphia, has the highest murder rate in the country, overtook detroit in 2011. Philadelphia is one of the most futile places you can be in America, at night. You can't even walk into the greyhound station there at night, AND they STILL have a steady stream of incommers at night, how fucking dumb is that ??? lol do you know where the people in Philly do most of their shopping ??? at places like Payless, Foreman Mills, Walmart, and K mart.. LOW QUALITY, UNKNOWN BRAND GOODS, MADE IN CHINA. THEY ARE NOT, NOT, NOT!!!!! NAME BRAND CLOTHES, BUT THEY ARE, UGLY FUCKING OVER PRICED RAGS !!! oh and btw, Philadelphia has one of the MOST NUTRITIONALLY WORTHLESS AND UNHEALTHY DIETS of ANY MAJOR CITY IN THE WESTERN WORLD, NOT JUST THE USA !!!!! lets go down a BRIEF LIST. The Philly Cheesesteak = Unfortunately, its NOT HEALTHY, AND ITS NUTRITIONALLY WORTHLESS. Cheese fries = Unfortunately, its NOT HEALTHY, AND ITS NUTRITIONALLY WORTHLESS. The philly pretzel = Unfortunately, its NOT HEALTHY, AND ITS NUTRITIONALLY WORTHLESS. The Hoagie = Unfortunately, its NOT HEALTHY, AND ITS NUTRITIONALLY WORTHLESS. (explaining why people from philadelphia, who have their genetics tied to there for generations, are amongst the ugliest and heaviest people in America, and the western world) Its also why Philadelphia's athletes CANNOT WIN ! oh and btw, the percentage of people in Philadelphia living in DANGEROUS HOMES, that are centuries OLD, is probably close to even with those who dont. This is by contrast to this.. Fayetteville Arkansas... about 85 % white... Home to a world class library, and a world class University, with the ONLY University funded PUBLIC transportation system in the country. The Universitt of Arkansas, is second in quality, only to IVY LEAGUE, and guess what ?? You can actually get a better education here, than in Yale, because in Yale, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN !!! lol Home to lawyers, dozens of Professional plazas and parks, Home to multiple corporate headquarters, home to dozens of small professional schools... Home to one of the largest malls in the entire NATION. Home of Bill Clinton, one of the best presidents in American History. Home to DOZENS of Hopitals and Healthcare Centers, including DOZENS OF VA CENTERS. Home to DOZENS OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES, that btw, puts the Northeast to SHAME. People here shop at Dillards, JC Penney, Sears, Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, and boutiques as well. so guess what ?? Its time that the Northeast STFU, and wake the fuck up, and quit yacking about how much beter they are.. This is 2013, not 1947, and THIS PART OF THE CONUNTRY is now the better part !!! While I concur that Fayetteville is a great place to live, there is also a complete lack of industry in that area. It mainly relies on the UofA and Tyson chicken plants. I wish I could agree with you about the Uofa, unfortunately I can't as I actually attended the UofA. I learned more in technical schools and simply reading the internet than I EVER did attending that overpriced "educational facility". Praise the area all you want as people do try to live healthy and treat each other with respect but a diamond in the rough the UofA is not.... |

The transit system is also adequate for the area and it is university owned. The college is completely terrible, perhaps it's more of the system in which college is run. I don't exactly know. I do know that I was completely unhappy with the level of education I received there in comparison to the cost of it that I am now paying. |

East Instead of South Vs. North ??? Why would the south and the west win over the east and north today, IF conditions allowed for the war ? Because the northeast cannot draw enough healthy, competant men. The Northeast's diet stinks, it realy does, their soldiers would be ka put, inside of a month of warfare. Their schools can't draw enough educated people. There isnt enough military goods being produced up north east. they could send millions, and millions of dumb, unhealthy fat "minorities" ...lol and they would lose miserably. |

Bluebird User ID: 27748381 United States 03/31/2013 09:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Movie stereotypes are always very negative about the South. I've lived other places and this is where I choose to be. There are just as many rednecks in other areas as here. In addition to movies misrepresenting the situation, tourists rarely encounter normal population. But if things were so awful here, wouldn't people be moving AWAY instead of coming here to live? And since the 70's even more blacks have returned to live in this state than are leaving so how bad can it be? One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

So they fucked up Dickson St, eh? How so? I remember it from the early 90's. The South hates the north more than the other way around, because they still have resentment over the Civil War. Believe it or not, it is true. |

AmericanInfidel User ID: 30323783 United States 03/31/2013 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm from NY but have lived in the south, SC, since 2000. Not once while i lived up north did I ever hear anyone say they hated the south, it was the opposite. Everyone loved the south. How couldn't you? Great weather, beaches and good food. The north certainly has better schools,well, atleast private schools and colleges. I'm pretty sure the southern states lead the nation in obesity, heart disease, diabetes, low test scores, school drop outs and teen pregnancies. So I gotta say that the north does not hate the south in general. But politics, there is the liberal vs conservative fight that heats up come election year, that's about it. Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish. Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage. KCCO |
