People seemingly always need something to argue about. You put everyone in one state, people will start arguing about what area has better sunlight.

Arguing is not the same as mocking and ridiculing people. People have individual preferences so arguing which is better makes no sense. Besides I definitely do not want to talk a city dweller into moving to my rural area.

Just to demonstrate:

The Ozarks have the better sunlight.

(But for BBQ, I tip my hat to Texas.)

I had students who argued which of them lived in the nicest Section 8 housing. A couple got killed over it.

I agree - the idea that either city people, or country people are good and the other are bad is flawed from the get-go.

And the irony of this thread is, it's a bunch of country folks insulting city folks, and yet, the thesis of the thread is that the real problem is that city folks put down country folks.

Precisely my opinion as well. It's just a biotch session.
