It's rare to find right wing fuckfaces in the city. Why is that? Because if you live in the metro you most likely encounter "different" people on a daily basis and if you are not an ignorant fuck, you'll realize they are not all that different than you are once you get passed whatever prejudices you may have. They are all people just trying to get by.
I was amused by this. You must not get out much.

That's actually partly right.
Most "urban" folks are very much socially conservative, but they are fiscally (sp) liberal. Funny you mention that as I had a conversation with a couple of "urban" folks at work today about the election... they mirrored the same comments that Haylo posted... the same thing I said in m first sentence.

All of you are wrong, rural areas aren't the best and neither are cities. The best place to live is the suburbs! You have the best of both worlds. It takes a hour to get to the city for all the culture you can stand, but you don't have any of the city problems. You also are not so isolated as to make anyone who looks different stand out. Now, discussion over.

The only large American city I enjoyed was San Francisco.
Stockholm though, I'd move there in a heartbeat if I had the means.

People move to the suburbs in their late 20s, early 30s.
They move there because it is the sterile breeding grounds where everything is controlled. After their children grow up, frequently the parents move either back to the city or further out into the country or to Florida.
The suburbs do not prepare our youth.
The suburbs drain our resources with commutes.
The suburbs are a false front where you pretend to reach the American Dream.

i won't deny living in the burbs can be a drain on resources, or even bother with the ridiculous "false front of the american dream". what exactly are our youth not being prepared for by living in the suburbs?

Crime.
Poverty.
Different cultures.
Real life.
Suburbs are destroying America; both the people and our cultures.

10sun, not sure where you got that from or if that is just your opinion, and you certainly can have your opinion, but apparently your experience in the burbs is not mine.
The four things you've listed happen all over, you don't have to be a "city dweller" to experience any of those.

Maybe southeast Michigan is unique, but we definately have crime, poverty, and very diverse culturally.
I couldn't even guess as to whatever the fuck "real life" is supposed to mean.

...and where else can you indicate where you live by pointing to your hand???
In conclusion, that is all I have to say on this matter. Thank you and Good Night.
