re: #129 RogueOne

That happens quite a bit around Indiana. People surprised that a pig farm down the road might smell bad. There’s a gun club that has been out in the boonies for 40 years. 10 years ago they started building million dollar homes down the street. Now the gun club has been fighting to stay open after dozens of lawsuits from their new neighbors.

This sort of stuff really, really bugs me. And some people wonder why theirs sometimes this generic annomosity from rural folk against city folk. This sort of stuff is why. It’s annoying as heck and has nothing to do with anything political. To me it’s simply…look people you move here and it’s not the people who have lived here for fricken ages job to create this illusionary Disney version of country life for you.

And no of course not everyone is like this and most people get it and are respectful. It only takes a few jerks though to make waves and set the stage for the stereotype.
