    country folk around here, that have jobs, work at them,

        This article pretty well sums up that the cities that have a blight problem are controlled by the democrats. EVERYTHING they control turns to s**t.

          should we hang both?


          betting that rich guy , who hates (insert race/ethnicity here) had a girlfriend (or boyfriend) on the side that is that same race/ethnicity,,,,

              I would be more kind,

              make them spend a few weeks on a farm, or in the region, living and working with the people,

              time on a dairy farm, etc will , as a coworker that owned a farm once said, 'will break them up from sucking eggs'


              limited internet , limited cell coverage,

                If you think that will cure them, I'll put them up on my farm for a few weeks.

                  Nice strawman.

                  How is that bigotry? People that cry bigotry first (Like Racism) are the true bigots like you've said.

                  Farm? Internet? Why do you believe people in Appalachia do not do things other than manual labor or do not utilize technology requiring high speed data? Do you not see the potential in other people? What a contemptuous soul one must have to have so narrow a view.

                      What a terrific point! Complaining about the use of stereotypes by using another set of stereotypes. Could anything be more unpersuasive? Anyhow, if Trump wants the political discourse to be trading cheap shots, then this is a game that everyone can play.

                        not at all,

                        I have relations that live in areas they cannot get the same high speed I have in the burbs, (due to the provider, dish uplink etc etc)

                        many areas have limited cell coverage due to terrian, or low population

                        I know there are some farmers now that use modern tech to help out,

                        when I was a youngster,, that was all non existent,,

                          I doubt we hang either for feelings. But the longer answer is that some people are better positioned to act on their prejudices than others, to the harm of people who are the targets of the negative bias. If a landlord privately has negative feelings towards people of dark skin, but doesn't let that interfere with how he conducts business, who he rents to, how apartments are kept up, etc., then most of us really can't think of anything more to ask of the guy, and his private feelings towards blacks are his own business. People are getting away from that, BTW, the idea that feelings have their place, but that it isn't in the public sphere. A bad liberal habit that has infected conservatives too (as in the icky gay people are in my cake shop which is otherwise open to the public).

                            I remember loading hay -- a couple of thousand bales, picked up in the field and pitched up into the loft of the barn. It would get to be about 120 degrees in that loft as the hay built up.

                              Being "in my cake shop" isn't the issue with the owner, as you well know, who is undoubtedly happy to sell them all the regular junk food they desire; it's the request for a WEDDING CAKE that would, by implication, be an endorsement by the owner of the noxious absurdity of a homo "marriage." That the noxious homos in question don't simply go to another cake shop run by someone who doesn't care, but instead file a law-suit, proves that it isn't the cake they REALLY want, but rather the public endorsement of their perversity.

                                Just dont put out multiple forks and spoons. All the lessons from charm school have been forgotten.
