Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Ah, another thing that angers me. People that have a preconceived misconception about a place because the media or somebody told them the place was crap or entertainment lambasts it despite not knowing what hte fuck it's talking about. I'll agree. I'm pretty much from Flint, MI. Which is looked upon as one of the most violent cities in America. I've never had troubles there just checked. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0921299.html #3 last year That safest "cities" list is a bunch of BS. It's just a bunch of suburbs. How can Buffalo and Cleveland be in the top 25 most dangerous cities while suburbs like Amherst, NY and Parma, Oh be in the top 25 safest? Buffalo is only 24th? I thought it would have been higher.

I was behind a woman who had "MYPRSH2" on her car, which leads me to believe, 1. This is her second Porsche, or 2. She has TWO Porsche's NOW and she's driving the other one. Spoiled twat. and the ONLY good license plate cover is "My Other Car is the Millennium Falcon." That's awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maztinho 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Tying in with the bumper related topic. Fuck Bumper Stickers.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 The ones that bug me are the Jesus freaks who need not just one, but eight or nine bumper stickers proclaiming their love for Christ. Christian rock station stickers, that damn fish, No Jesus No Peace/Know Jesus Know Peace (and WTF is with that one anyway?), and often about 3 or 4 pro-life stickers for good measure. If you're a Christian, great, more power to you, but did you really need to turn your car into a moving billboard as a result? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Potlucks. I hate at work when we have potlucks and: 1. People from other departments come over and grab food when they didn't bring anything or weren't invited. 2. Others who were uninvited come over "just to look". What, never seen food? Of course at my old company I used to send a guy over to the other department's pot luck to steal food like a whole pie or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fartsauce 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 When I was in Detroit for Wrestlemania there were Jesus freaks everywhere on coke trying to say that Satan was coming to take us away that night. Also, I bought a hamburger at some outdoor parking lot bbq. After taking one bite I realized the meat was hardly cooked. I went up to the black crackhead guy handling the bbq and he wouldn't give me a refund and looked at me like I was from Somalia. That angered me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Detroit is pretty much like St. Louis. It's still segregated in a way. There are certain parts of St. Louis that you can die just for being somewhere you're "Not allowed" in the neighborhood. That goes for white and black folks. It ain't like that everywhere, but you go into the Eastside at night if you ain't cool with somebody down there and you're fucked. There's places that are full of racist rednecks where it's the other way around. I can pretty much get around anywhere and be alright. But I wouldn't let my moms or somebody go to the Eastside of St. Louis. Fuck alla that. Edit: Hippies. They roll madd deep in St. Louis. And pretty much all over Missouri and Kansas. Hippies are cool, as long as they're the type that baths at least semi-regulatly. I've had some amazing convos with hippies before. They get a bad rep because of the ones that are just assholes, hippy or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know what... maybe St. Louis is like that, but I think most of this "neighborhood you're not allowed in" stuff is bullshit. I just spent the last year living in South Central L.A., I've been all over New York City, I never ran into any sort of trouble and I'm a white guy from Oregon. Maybe it happens, but it didn't happen to me living in the gang capital of the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
