    It’s OK to like small towns, but most of the people who live in small towns, never left and have no aspirations to. It’s particularly evident with some of the more uh… shallow gene pool folk. They are so backwards, they know they would get ridiculed around people outside of their comfort zone, which I’m sure they would. They hate “pretty people”. City people are usually pretty people and there is like a weird level of jealousy based around that. I live in what used to be a steel town and when I tell you that everyone who lives at the bottom of the hill have mental issues and all have kids that have learning disabilities, I’m not joking. Heavy metals HAVE to be the cause of so many issues in small towns. There are kids here with growth deformities, 10 miles away there is a nuclear dump that is just chilling in the middle of a residential area. Tons of people got and get cancer there, people continue to live around it and die. I have no idea why lol. It’s insane. The govt put up signs but they aren’t even noticeable. If you drive past, my wife had to point it out. It’s fucking NUCLEAR WASTE. Seriously… I’ve been in fights with a lot of my neighbors over the way they treat their children. My neighbor across the street has 2 kids and 1 black step daughter from his wife’s other marriage, I feel so bad for her. One day I was outside and a group of young boys came up the street with a football, they were about 14. The dad was outside and from across the street I could hear them saying N*gger very loudly. The redneck dad just ignored it. He probably thinks the same thing and is embarrassed by her. I was shocked he just turned away and ignored it. If I ever heard that again, I’d say something l, I should have to make him look bad bit I really didn’t expect him to NOT say something. I pack heat everywhere I go out here, there was a crazy redneck yelling about Biden with a gun last summer at the ice cream stand. He got arrested but if I was there with my kids and someone pulled a gun, I’d have to pop them. Never had that happen in the city. Shits real in the battlefield.
