Re: Boats Snowed in!
Kenny, I am surprised to here you say that. I don't consider my posts negative. I am just speaking my opinions based on my personal experiences. To you, the fact that I see no need to live in NY is negative. Because you are the only one to say that tells me that you are the individual with a negative attitude. If you were to tell me there was no way you would live in a back-woods low earning area like mine I would not think you were being negative. I would just think you don't want to live in low earning back-woods areas. <br /><br />If you think I am always negative, thats fine, but I know that I am not. Don't be offended by my dislike of NY. I may not have been there, but it doesn't matter. I am from LA, you can't get a much bigger shyte-hole than that, and I have lived all over the world, in plenty of shyte-holes. I have learned in all my travels that big cities, no matter what the earning potential, are not where I want to be. My criteria for an ideal place to live is based on how much stress I have to endure to live there. Do I have to commute for an hour each way every day, do I have to worry about crime? Is there anything for me to do, and do I have to spend too much money to do it? You cannot know how many people live in my area that have taken large decreases in income to get out of the big city BS. They all are doing so much better. They have nicer houses here, can do more, can let their kids go out and play without fear of being abducted or worse. There are no muggings, no serial killers, no planes flying in to building here. There are no gangs, minimal drug problems, very few drunken bralws in the bars. Quality of life is what people are supposed to be striving for. If you are achieving the quality of life that you want, then that should be all that matters to you. Maybe you are envious that I can walk out my back door, down a set of steps, and get in my boat and ride off. Maybe you don't understand that I went without food and lived out of a car as a child for a period of time, so my values and what I appreciate might be a little different than yours, and it just may not take as much to make me happy as other folks who have lived more prosperous lives. You can keep your city, and I'll keep my little town, and that is that.<br /><br />BTW, I'm republican...
