America is great because most of us are good.

Keeping a pretty close eye on Newyorkistan, however, like Kamo is keeping an eye on his metro. LA and SFO might get sporty.

I find everyone very polite around here, even in traffic people are driving more polite.

I'm more concerned folks will have a hard time going back to work and the daily grind/stress after sitting home and being taken care of by/told what to do from .gov.

I didn't say schithole states, I said "..schithole northeastern cities..." and I will stand by that, regardless of what some (probably politically motivated) Newsweek Magazine poll of questionable, and certainly incomplete, methodology may "show." The stated criteria alone are fraught with the possibility of uncontrolled variables. Polls like that are just clickbait.

I've lived in the NE and there are great places and great people all over up there. I've also spent time in most of the major cities up there. IMO, they're schitholes. In my experience, the general run of people you meet out in public here are a lot friendlier and a lot more open. They're a lot more likely to strike up casual, friendly conversations with strangers at the supermarket, restaurants, wherever.


You’ve got a craphole city smack dab in the middle of your state. Just sayin.... wink The northeast doesn’t have a Monopoly on craphole cities. Ever been to Memphis?

We have been busying ourselves at home or staying close, and the very few ventures into town/society have been normal, as others have reported - calm, polite, sane. Crime and disruption very low. I doubt that this will stay the case for very much longer in the city 50 miles away and much more likely to break down even sooner in the big/dirty metro areas of the country.

I have a sense that those usually on the ragged edge detect the need to stay as balanced and well-behaved as possible - and try to curtail their bad habits as much as possible - because this scenario is way,way different than the predictable milieu in which they have learned to scheme and operate. I think that the misfits and takers are more uncomfortable and confused about what to do than the stable and sensible folks who make this place work - and those most inclined to eventually raid and grab from others are off balance because they realize that the good/productive/stable folks are serious about dealing with this mess and are, due to the unusual and serious circumstances, armed and ready to defend real quickly.

The normal laxity - the "look the other way" mentality - and the more common social lubricants are greatly diminished - not a good time for those who have not learned to be self-reliant and under self-control. Tilted landscape.

I predict since the border is closed and illegals are being expelled and unable to vote, the deep state will release a virus on the land requiring shelter in place, and commies will demand unlimited mail in ballots to screw Trump in his next POTUS race.

@EVILSPEAKEROFTHEHOUSE has already proposed all of that.

Including, I'm sure, releasing the deadly virus.

It's almost a mile from the nearest road to my house, when do I know it's time to start shooting uninvited guest. It's been over a year since an uninvited guest has showed up around here and I met him with a shotgun pointed at his head. Come to find out he was hired by the county to do property tax adjustments. Guess he didn't like me our taxes went up a couple of hundred dollars.

Just floated back to this thread. You are correct and I apologize for misquoting you. It wasn't intentional.

Thanks to all who offered opinions and observations--and great, grin-provoking dog/wife shots. Never tire of seeing those. wink

For the gent who asked about my extended family in Japan, so far so good. Thank you for asking.

Stay safe, y'all.
