The most puzzling thing, to me, is the people that live in the middle of nowhere seem to be the ones that worry the most about needing to defend their property. Sorry Jasper, nobody wants your 100 year old farmhouse that is in disrepair. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an accident that cities are pretty much always more liberal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isolation and / or only being around people that look / think like you. The reason college is a liberal indoctrination station is they meet people their communities talked shit about and realize they are basically the same as them with different skin color or different fake religion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rural folk are the most paranoid people around. Civ III came out like a month after 9/11 and I wanted my mom to drive me to the mall to pick up my preorder. She didn't want to take me because she was paranoid that our random suburban mall was a terrorist target. I eventually convinced her how stupid that was and she took me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFKAK Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Does this qualify as making fun of flyover state people? Cause I’ve been told that’s why they want to burn down the country. Anyway, Im in favor of gun ownership as an abstract concept but not in the way our shithole nation does it, our populace can’t be trusted with the responsibility of firearm ownership. I’ve known gun owners who haven’t cleaned their guns in years as a just a basic example. I full throttle believe guns aren’t the issue, gun culture and our society as a whole is the issue.
