The south sucks

[Fizzzzle]

I should preface this by saying I don't regret living here. I love it here, so far. I love it when things are dirty and lawless, that's where I thrive.

 

But dear lord, if you're from a part of the country like New England or the west coast where things mostly function properly to the point where you just kind of forget about it, moving to the south can be a bit of culture shock. Roads? Haven't been repaved since 1955. Stores within walking distance that carry anything other than twinkies and beer? I don't even know what you're talking about. Amazon 2 day prime shipping? Silly goose, you meant FIVE day shipping. Also strengthen up those forearms if you want to ride a bike because the pot holes wouldn't be out of place in Verdun.

 

I have a working theory that it's because the rural South actively opposes anything that could ever benefit a city dweller, even if it hurts them, too. 'i will cut off my nose to fuck myself in the ass with it" I'm pretty sure is how that goes

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Where are you? Because I don’t have most of those issues in my city. 
 

Roads can definitely be an issues, but I also hated the damn roads when we drove them in New England last year.

A lot of SoCal is like this tbf.

[Jason]

SO SO much of SoCal looks like that strip mall Sandy picks Ryan up from at the start of The OC.

[Biggie]

The West Coast where things mostly function properly.  lolololololololololololololololololol

To be fair, Louisiana is like next-level corrupt when it comes to anything infrastructure releated, so it's not necessarily a fair comparison.

Louisiana isn’t Deep South. That’s crazy Cajun country. Down here we would have held you down and used finger nail polish remover on your soy boi ass. 

[Bloodporne]

Roads!? Have you ever driven a vehicle in the Northeast, especially the big cities? Every road near me is like Poland's infrastructure circa 1944.

You moved to Nola, being kinda crappy is part of its charm.

[Kamusha]

Yeah there's a lot about the south that isn't my favorite. I live in a college town so I get the benefits of the south without the worse qualities. The warmness of a southern town with  open-mindedness of a big city.

[CastletonSnob]

Those are problems with any rural area more than they are problems with the south.

I remember when I would make regular drives from San Antonio TX to Orlando FL. I would stop in Port Arthur and get gas, no matter how much I had in my tank, specifically so that I wouldn't have to stop in Louisiana. I would coast into Mississippi on fumes but I did it lol.

sounds awful

Back when I was in Georgia I was so weirded out my people praying in public at first. Obviously religion exists on the west coast, but it's mostly behind closed doors. 

 

And then there's New Orleans, which I feel like barely counts as the south in terms of religion, and not just because it's ostensibly Catholic. Then again, I work at a gay night club and live in Treme so my view of things might be slightly askew.

[Biggie]

Imagine being weirded out by people praying. 

[johnny]

you’re definitely a little weirdo if you pray at all

I suppose that's a bad phrase to use, as it does not make me uncomfortable or anything. It's just like "wait, what? People do that?"

 

My family like says grace before Thanksgiving dinner as tradition, but praying in public is not a thing on the west coast. I never even knew how to pray until I was in my 20's. Turns out there's not much to it. Just put your hands together and talk to jeebus

Yes! Two years ago I hit a pothole that caused $5k in damages, city of course wouldn't pay for it.

Good luck yea. I parked in a municipal lot and the street lamp above my car's lamp assembly crushed my roof because they forgot to tighten it earlier. They investigated themselves and then decided to rule it an "Act of God".

 

Lol I guess...? Fucking gangsters the lot of em.

Basic

Even when I was religious, I always found overt displays uncomfortable.

Then you weren’t really religious, just fooling yourself.

Pretty sure I know my beliefs better than you. 
 

Also, doesn’t the Bible say something about being ostentatious with prayer?

I dunno you tell me since you are an expert on every subject.  

[SaysWho?]

@CastlevaniaNut18 is correct. It's Matthew 6.

 

“Be careful that you don’t practice your religion in front of people to draw their attention. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

2 “Whenever you give to the poor, don’t blow your trumpet as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may get praise from people. I assure you, that’s the only reward they’ll get. 3 But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing 4 so that you may give to the poor in secret. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.

5 “When you pray, don’t be like hypocrites. They love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners so that people will see them. I assure you, that’s the only reward they’ll get. 6 But when you pray, go to your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.

 

Faith in God is supposed to be something that lives inside of you, not something overt. If anything, CNut did it correctly and they were fooling themselves. If you have a problem with that, argue with the Bible.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

@SaysWho?, thanks. I knew it said something like that, but I was tired after my third shift and didn’t care enough to search it this morning.  

 

It’s so weird when strangers try to tell you your own beliefs. 

[Biggie]

Why are the non-religious the most knowledgeable about religion 

 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Well, we did grow up heavily indoctrinated…

 

This isn’t a hard concept to understand.

Modern prayer is called "meditation".

[SaysWho?]

Real question is: if you're as religious as you say, how can you not know such a simple passage from the Bible?
