[jayschool]

12. Never mind.

My goodness, such hate.

[onenote]

19. fuck who? Iowa?

One of the states in the hardest hit region. Went for Obama. Tom Harkin is one of its Senators. Three of its five reps are Democrats. Or South Dakota, which has one Democratic Senator and whose one representative is a Democrat?

Or maybe you just meant fuck em to all of the Democrats and good people of whatever party who happen to live in those areas.

Hey, maybe all of the people in those states can move to Florida where you are...would that make you happy?

The stupid is strong on this thread.

[SoCalDem]

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. That and the end of cheap energy and the culture of monoculture of the

last 30 years... yep, you hit the head on the proverbial nail.

Soon (relatively speaking) the days of cheap food will be over too.

[tjwash]

13. uhhh...tell you what there skipper...

...when whatever fucking state you are in right now, legalizes gay marriage, and starts leading the country in bio-diesel and wind technology R and D then you can talk whatever shit you want. Otherwise you you are just being a hypocritical jerk like the shitheads who start the "southern people are fucking idiots lol" threads here.

18. Life is simple for the placist mind

New York: Good
Midwest: Stark and awful

It's much more diverse out here than a Coaster can possibly imagine.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Mexico had the lowst ammount of rain fall this year in the last 100
