I hate cities!

[Rich46yo]

Im starting to really despise cities.

Just everything about them. Im a country boy at heart. I have friends in Montana and when i first met them one Lady said to me, "you must find us rustic and kinda simple". Know what I told her?

I said, "Actually I find you folks out here smarter, have more sense, are more honorable, and I think you get more happyness out of life".

I gotta get out of this place while I still have some sanity left.

[Shifty]

I can't share your views. I find the same percentage of country people to be just as dishonorable violent and crooked as their city dwelling counterparts.  There's a lot of good ole boys that just aren't that good. Selfishness and dishonesty is not limited to city people.

I also don't like (big) cities, but for different reasons.

It's not that I think people living in cities are inferior or worse behaved...I just get aggravated by being crowded in amongst too many people.

Hong Kong was a nightmare for me. London barely tolerable.

Good luck Rich. Cities do suck. Move to Montana with them and raise dental floss. :-)

Whatever the Hell that means. I like small town America. Its more genuine.

An honest man gains a reputation for it. A dishonest the same. Neighbors watch out for each other and for their kids.

The big city is just cruel and violent and impersonal. I want to live in a Norman Rockwell painting. Thats "America" to me.

I too am a country boy born and raised. Grew up on a 300 acre horse farm right alongside the Chesapeake Bay on Maryland's eastern shore. It is a whole different world on that side versus the hustle, bustle and endless concrete of Baltimore. I think cities have their usefulness. After all they keep a great deal of the population out of our small country towns like Cecilton and Galena close to where I grew up. So don't knock'em. Just quietly appreciate the fact that you do not have to live in one.

The last time I was in Philadelphia (it's been almost a year) I remember being bombarded by the smell that seemed to be a rather nasty blend of stale urine, old rusty metal and automotive exhaust. Not my cup of tea ....but better them than me.

   I grew up near a Dairy Farm. One day the cows were gone and funny looking 2 legged creatures dragging tubes full of sticks would smack at the ground. Round white orbs would fly out and the stick draggers would chase them.
   The horses and their droppings started to disappear alongside of the road and the stable I would rent horses from was no more.
 Great machines scoured the earth eating trees and spreading asphalt. The local chicken farm was gone no more fresh eggs, no more fresh milk in glass bottles at the front door.
   Farms replaced by large buildings selling every unneeded trinket in a con man's dream.


      No I did not move to the City but the City moved to me.

When we go to Atlanta, we always notice the look of despair on peoples faces as they wait in traffic. 

The people in the big cities though when put to the test when the chips are down will match our small town folks good deed for good deed.

The best of life I think is a rural area near a medium size city like Savannah.  Best of both worlds.

Everyone is ugly outside NYC.

Everyone is ugly outside NYC.

Good. Stay there. And while yer at it ....convince the other 6 million of you to stay there too.

When I take my rod and a good book down to the bayside just yonder over the pasture where I keep my appaloosa ..... I like the smell of the fresh cut hay, the slight odor of clean but brackish water whipping in on a gentle bay breeze and calming sounds of farm life and the sudden kerplunk of the rockbass breeching on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Not the smell of carbon monoxide and the sounds of jackhammers, ambulances, gunshots, car horns, screaming cab drivers and humans arguing with one another.

Enjoy.

Don't get me wrong.  This sounds great.  I wish I could sleep in the country and wake up in the city when I wanted.  I was raised on the hustle bustle of city life, cultivating art and worldly people, you shoveled manure and plowed fields.  I expect our values to be different.  We are both Americans.

BTW, Philly's a toejamhole with no jobs.  I would rather live in the country than most American cities. 

[Latrobe]

I like living in the country. The quiet, the peacefulness, not having to put up with rude people at all, and the ability to shoot my guns whenever I want and not have the police show up at my house... it's all so good. 

I lived in the city for a short while.... a SHORT while. Could not stand it and went back out into the country.

i moved from the Seattle area to a small town in Central Oregon called Prineville its one of the first towns in Central Oregon its roots are deep into the western atmosphere and traditions, and i can honestly say ive never been happier crime rate here is almost non exsistant ( bigtime progun town) you can leave your house unlocked and keys in the Truck and never worry, it's the best move ive ever made.

I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss

Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand I would

Keep the wax
'N melt it down
Pluck some Floss
'N swish it aroun'

I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all
Afternoon . . .

I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An' ride him all along the border line

With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night

And then I'd
Get a cuppa cawfee
'N give my foot a push . . .
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over by the Dennil Floss Bush

'N then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin' to Montana soon
