Just back from a week in the wilderness...

[tyrannosaurus vex]

Cities are just a concrete wilderness, IMO.

I agree, if you mean "a concrete wilderness full of ethnic cuisines, nice looking ladies, and hundreds of people walking around screaming for a little Holiness^TM."

Definitely on the same page.

People just get fooled because it looks civilized.

But it IS civilized, when compared to small towns.

It's just that people have this idea in their head that "civilized" means "nice all the time".

Compared to Seguin, Texas or Morris, Illinois, cities are awesome.  Small towns are full of nosy bastards, dumb fucking rednecks, and crooked cops who are in fact so crooked that they make the Chicago PD look like a choir.

this motion seconded.
a small town cop arrested me once and it didn't stop until he was fined, suspended, and issued a reprimand from a city judge for carrying out a "witch hunt."

small towns are awful.

I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

They are nice in the Springtime, though.

The myth of "small town living" is one of the more interesting cases of meme indoctrination, IMO.

It's pumped up to be "wholesome", but everyone's on meth.

It's pumped up to be "safe", but crime is far higher.

Fact is, the only place small town America is anything other than a horrorshow is in Bluebell Ice Cream ads.

They're still horror shows, they're just wholesome ones.

BLUEBELL HOMEMADE ICE CREAM,

That ad is amazing, because even though it drives you batshit with rage when it plays, it's what most people think of when they go to the store and buy ice cream.

It frightens me and makes me want to puke in disgust (because I know that shit works) at the same time when I hear it.
