The reality is that NOBODY wants to move to the middle-of-nowhere and work a horrible job in the hopes that maybe their children might have better lives. Whilst politicos earn political points, the language is already adapting . . . Either way, the work out there still need to be done and the only other option is the Somalis . . . Or create even more ghost towns.
Is Rural Kansas dying?

Bullshit. We got along just fine without them before.
ReplyDeleteKansas has been losing population for years. A virtual wasteland. They should be thankful anyone wants to live there.
ReplyDeleteI'm critical of Mexico but no one wants chanute ks. Anything outside of kc is tumbleweeds
ReplyDeleteNot true. Look at the gay population of Lawrence. About 90% of the population there is gay. That’s why it’s such a shithole.

ReplyDeleteThis is the biggest bunch of B.S. and is laughable! That land out in Kansas is ranch land and has been in the same family for generations, and they are doing just fine. One of the family's I know have 3,000 acres and are still fine to this day raising cattle. Jobs in rural Missouri working in orchards was taken by illegal immigrants, people who lived in the communities who needed part time jobs and seasonal jobs were pushed out, and don't forget Obama Care that killed small towns and business, including farm workers!
Yes, rural Kansas is dying. It deserves to. Some of the most backward people in the world live there. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants to live there. I mean even scammin'sammy wanted out. Just a God forsaken shithole. Burn it to the ground.
ReplyDeleteQuantrill should have burned down the entire state, not just shithole Lawrence.
ReplyDeletethat was the plan: Bigger cities, fewer towns – visionless Kansas in the next 150 years http://www.kansas.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/the-story-of-kansas/article1078294.html
ReplyDelete"Bullshit. We got along just fine without them before."
ReplyDeleteBefore what?
Racist Kansas towns get what they deserve. They hate the mexicans then move out or make bomb threats when the somalis move in. A lot of the towns deserve to become ghost towns.
ReplyDelete7:22 Backward thinking? Have you ever been east of Troost to see what 'progressive' thinking gets you? Ever been to Democrat-run inner cities like Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis? Define backward thinking. Pro-family, pro-marriage, and Christian?
ReplyDeleteWhen The Kansas Territory applied for statehood, the Federal Government's report came back saying it was not big enough to pay its bills.
ReplyDeleteOriginally went to the Continental divide to the west, and the Platte River in Nebraska to the north.
Was its current size when applied.
Kansas and Kansans are the worst. The absolute worst. These bible-thumping hipo-Christians delight in their ignorance. They proudly refuse to modernize and deserve to watch their towns decay and die. No one with any vision or a modicum of intelligence would actually choose to live there.
ReplyDeleteYes, rural Kansas is just a cultural wasteland. No drive-by shootings, no 12% sales tax, not even any need to lock your doors at night. No faggots and trannies to enlighten us on the need for equality or special treatment.
ReplyDeleteYes, rural Kansas is just a cultural wasteland. Plenty of meth-heads breaking into any unlocked door, opioid addicted adults shuffling about, pregnant teenagers aplenty, grifter preachers fucking their congregations physically and metaphorically, and wiggers shooting up the place. Ugh. Burn it all down.
ReplyDeleteIt's all Brownback's fault, If Kkkobach gets elected Kansas will look like a ghosttown.
ReplyDelete9:37 nails it, if your not a shithole run by dummocrats then you are worthless in their sick demented minds
ReplyDelete12:09 shits the bed, if you don't know the difference between "you're" and "your' you must be a trumpkin.
ReplyDeleteAh the old border war flaring up again. I can’t help laughing at posts like 10:06, because while accurate (to a degree), it’s also a perfect description of MO. I’d still rather live in either one than CA.
ReplyDeleteTell u this... desperation runs rampant in those dinky outposts , when u gotta drive 50 mins to the nearest family dollar life is pain and isolation
ReplyDelete7;18 You are so full of shit. Rural American has been dying for decades, Obamacare has nothing to do with anything. In fact, my wife's uncle that farms outside of Hutch has insurance now only because of the ACA. Try getting insurance on your own with preexisting conditions before the ACA existed. Goddamn you're stupid.
