Had the unfortunate experience of having to pass through today. Made the mistake of not filling up on gas before I left and had to venture off the interstate for gas. Had to stop at 3 different gas stations before finally finding one that accepted cards.

The people at these establishments looked structurally deformed. Teeth missing, legs missing, wearing gold chains, covered in tats. Smoking cigs while pumping gas. It was horrifying to see.

Buildings along the interstate just run down and outdated. Looks like how I picture a city in the middle east to look.

Latoya is the equivalent of scar from the Lion King

I’ve brought this up before and it still blows my mind


There are over 10 precincts in New Orleans where the median income of the household is lower than the national median income in Botswana.

There are precincts in NOLA where less than 30% of people are employed.

It’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t know the solution.


That is unbelievable

Yeah I am sure where you were is representative of the entire City of New Orleans. You can find those types of areas off of every interstate in every city in America.

So blow me with your broad generalizations and don't let the door hit you on the arse on your way out.

Not a typical Red State I have to say.

It’s called culture, and that’s what makes it so unique

Huge tuberculosis problem which is some trademark third world shite as well.

Homeless camps are also producing some extremely resistant gonorhea strains.

But how are the gyms?

Honestly, between this thread and the other one you started today, it's pretty obvious you like to start a troll thread and watch the chaos. It's a slow work day, so I'm all for it.

Where did you stop, off the interstate in New Orleans for Gas?
If I had to guess it was off Elysian Fields, or somewhere in the East.
So you picked the worst place in the entire city and didn’t pass thru Lakeview, Mid-City or Uptown.

You sound like a fricking tool bag. Wish one of those one legged, tattooed, missing teeth people would have robbed you.

I know the solution. Stop cradle to grave entitlements and stop incentivizing getting pregnant.

Next time stop and say something to one of them instead of hiding behind a keyboard. But we all know you won’t.

The ghettos of New Orleans rival the ghettos of Chicago and NYC and LA. These are the 3 largest cities in the country 20 times as big as NOLA.

It is pretty bad down there. I am not fan. The last couple times I went I thought to myself I think I'd rather explore Havanna

I’ve never been to a gas station that didn’t take credit cards.

Which places are did you stop at?

Ima go sell them credit card machines.
