    Progressives are a whole other creature entirely. They're basically religious fundamentalists.

    Why do you find that odd? In this country it's very common to have no 'running' water (what we call Town Water). Plenty of households rely on rainwater tanks and/or some kind of bore or natural body of water. Even on the fringes of capital cities, it's very common.

    It's interesting to think that so many people apparently never really wanted to live in cities (and I mean, why wouldya), but just did it for work reasons. The mass exodus of those able to work from home revealed just how little love people actually have for crowds and tight spaces.

    Been there done that. Nothing wrong with it in the slightest.

    But those are the extremes that you're pointing out. Most are not like that.

    Last I checked the system is still in place.

    And I wouldn't be talking about lashing out if I were you considering the vast majority of riots the last 2 years have been committed by those on the left.

    Most of Illinoise is Republican. Southern counties are as high as 60-80% Republican. Chicago is the only Democratic stronghold in the state and probably has 99% of the violence in the state where shootings happen almost daily.

    I think we have been through this before but without rural farm areas the big cities would starve.

    Also it's easy to go to college and pass. I did it. You don't have to be very intelligent to get into some colleges.

    Per the videos I have seen many college students are morons and even participate in riots and protests alot.

    Hard to believe Illinoise is not on that list when they have over 5,000 shootings some years and thousunds of deaths. I'm not sure I trust the data.

    Come to Iowa. Nice expensive homes everywhere. No big cities around. Lots of homes are going up everywhere. Expensive ones. Most farm homes are nice to. Iowa has a great economy and it's easy to find a job in the central part of the state.

    Whyoming was the first state a female voted in. The first female to vote was in Laramie, Whyoming. I read that in the history of the city. Not sure why you said Colorado?

    We already have pollsters admitting these polls can be wrong.

    As for unity...no we don't have that.

    The Democrats are deciding us with thier constant left narrative that we are all bad thus why we feel the need to constantly defend ourselves.

    I live in a town of less than 15,000 making over $20 an hour. Many blacks and Mexicans come from bigger cities such as Des Moines, pop over 150,000 with a commute of over 30 minutes driving on I-80 just to work here. They all get payed about the same.

    To say small towns have no money is a lie. Also farmers do very well for themselves. Many have nice houses.

    I don't trust the data. Kal Stang already posted contradicting data.

    So Trump is responsible for all covid deaths but the mayor of Chicago is not responsible for the almost daily shootings and resulting deaths?

    Many small towns still have factories and high paying jobs and some even have colleges.

    My top 5 favorite states are Iowa, Wisconsin, Whyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska. I love the quite life, the beutifull summers and the tourist areas and I can't stand the big cities.

    My dad's from Long Island, New York where I was born. Probably been to that city a dozen times. Spending 2+ hours just trying to get across the George Washington Bridge was a nightmare. I don't ever want to go back.

    Not that I've seen, but you're doing that very thing to Democrats in this very post, ironically.

    less populated areas have lower crime and lower pollution that heavily populated areas?


    [​IMG]



    I guess the higher populated areas should emulate the lower populated areas in having fewer people living in them

    This is a interesting read and I'm no fan of the scource. The top ten list is a bit different then yours but does include some you listed.

    The site still pointed out California still had the highest murder and crime rate even though it was only ranked as the 14th worst state.

    https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/40968963

    My state of Iowa ranks the 15th safest state.

    Louisiana is in the top 10 worst. So what is the difference between the two states? The economy. Poor states tend to have more crime. Iowa is actually a state with a great economy and many jobs and wealth where Louisiana tends to have less high paying jobs and less wealth.

    Missouri was in the top ten but the site pointed out most of that crime is in Kansas City and St. Louis. Both Democratic strongholds of course. I have seen many Biden signs in people's yards in Kansas City, Missouri to back that up.

    What I'm seeing is that 90% of the crime is ether in

    1. Highly populated cities

    2. Poor areas

    California having the highest crime rate is no surprise since they have the biggest population in the country. A large part of that is Latino at over 15 million and many of those are probably illegals. They also have a high cost of living so I'm surprised anyone can afford to live there. My wife is from California and witnessed a drive by shooting there. If you watch the tv show cops many of thier episodes are from CA.

    CA may not be in the top ten but having the biggest crime rate still makes it worse than any top ten state.

    Are the Democrats responsible for most of the crime? In Chicago probably yes. In the poor parts of Alabama probably notnot.o
    What I see as a utopia is beutifull summers that are not extremely hot, the winters not being to crazy and everything green and beutifull. Also having money to enjoy said utopia is nice and jobs are bountiful in Iowa. There is a worker shortage where I live. We also have tourist traps, fishing, hiking and biking, camping, state and national parks etc. Iowa has all of that and more. It is the nicest and most peacefull state I have ever been to. (Nebraska and SD was a close 2nd in terms of scenery and peacefull bliss) we have had in my 36 years of living maybe a hand full of murders that I can remember around my home town.

    Iowa is also the #2 food producer in the country. #1 being California but most of those rural areas that produce food are Republican so we feed America and the world. China buys alot of corn from Iowa or did at one time.

    Iowa has one of the most Republican state legislatures and Congress as well. We may be an exception. Many Republican states are poor. Having been to Missouri so many times I can say most of it looks ghetto and the economy there is alot worse. The bigger cities may have more jobs but more crime to.

    Why do you believe Trump is responsible for all COVID deaths?
    And yes, the mayor of Chicago is not responsible for gun related deaths. The people killing others are the ones responsible for the gun related deaths.

    Colorado is one of the better designed and run states in the country. It has one of the best educational systems, a well balanced economy, some of the best environmental protections, and is home to some of the most innovative companies in the country. The people tend to be healthier than elsewhere, and tend to have higher incomes. I can see why conservative don’t like Colorado, it is too good for them.

    It is universal. On farms, the more dense pigs are packed together, the greater likelihood they will fight. That is why at factory farms they cut off the tails and teeth of young pigs. Why the they cut off the beaks of chickens. Both of these animals are quite peaceful, given enough space, but pack them in tight enough, and they fight.

    In truth, they live in pickup truck hell.
    Their idea of art is a coloring book.
    Their idea of theater is watching the drunkin' neighbors fight on Friday night.
    Their idea of sport is shooting beer cans.
    That is no life for an evolved human.

    The reason that Democrats tend to run cities is because Republicans can’t. In most cities, the elections for mayor and city council tend to be non- political party. That is, on Election Day, voters have a slate of candidates, non of which is identified by political party. The elections tend to fall along local issues, not political ideology. The screw the poor and minorities attitude of many Republicans just doesn’t fly when poverty and minorities are facts of life in parts of cities.

    Maybe it takes a genius to see it, but as long as the police continue to unnecessarily kill or otherwise harm unarmed citizens, the protests are likely to continue. The police, in many instances have become the wrong that is going on. That and Republican voting corruption alongside the constant drum beat of the conservative messaging coming out of the usual suspects, that supports such policing and the brutality that results. If one wants an authoritarian society, then by all means support the police, support a police state. But if one wants to live free, the police need to be restrained and held accountable for their actions.

    we are a county of 330,000,000 people, sometimes **** is gonna go south

    That no one ever saw the commonality in these infrequent accidental killings is strange.

    Here is an idea, don't break the law and the odds of these incidents happening will go to zilch.

    peace

    More nonsense.

    Given that there are more republican governors than democratic governors, I figure that they can handle a city fairly easily.

    I wish those conservatives move to Colorado; as it stands, it's mostly California Democrats who move here and are reshaping our beautiful state in the image of a failed liberal cesspool they have left behind.
