What is a nice country to live in (please read)

[Mr. dB]

such bullshit lies and propaganda...yea def has a few, but so does england and every other place in the world, texas is a great state with great people.

Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee, are full of rednecks like you wouldn't believe. Rural and small town folk in those areas are not living in the same century as us. I'll include my state of Arkansas too. Once you get out of the cities, the real people there are "not like us".

 

[Mr. dB]

I've kinda made my decision

As long as you don't mind living in a police state...

As a born and raised Southern bor, I hate to say it but its true. Either im way to used to austin but every time i go to mississippi for family i feel the need to wash the redneck off upon getting back to austin. Could just be my family over there but i doubt it due to the plethora of redneck friends they have that we also met.
But to give a little credit the problem lies mainly in the smaller towns/areas.

Tennessee has a ton of rural people in it. There's a distinct Appalachian culture in the Eastern part of the state. The catch is, it's also the home of Oak Ridge National Laboratories. So we've got a really weird mix because that peckerwood chewing beachc nut may very well have double Ph.D.'s in particle physics and biochemistry.

not saying that cw or db fall into this category, but it seems the ones screaming the loudest against us rural folks are the social elites who only fly over these parts on their way to staten island or beverely hills...personally i'll take a reasonable cost of living and peace of mind living my shit unlocked as opposed to gangs, high taxes, and crazy crime rates.

well, florida is a big state. Most of it sucks, but the places that don't are very nice. I'd only live in 3 cities in Florida, and 2 of them are right next to each other.

i'm pretty sure no one would choose memphis over miami, unless you're too poor to live in miami.


you realize that like half of michigan moved to florida in the past 6 or 7 years, right?

These rural people are good people. It's easy for some to look down on them but many times they've got the common sense that is often missing in the more sophisticated types. I personally really enjoy the rural areas of Tennessee.
