Well Oaktown is kinda third world…like New Orleans. No middle class only extreme wealth or poverty.

Some of those shanties have power. They have generators and all kinds of shite out there. The craziest thing is that many have jobs.

I’ve never seen a Democrat city that isn’t a crime filled shanty town. You should travel more.

Sure there are dem cities that are nice, but only because they haven’t destroyed them yet. Denver is an example, but Denver is being destroyed. Then there are some in the NE that are nice, but that’s because the cold winters keep the winos away.

I read that twice as "Buckethead." I was very confused.

Well, except for all of downtown. And a good chunk of First Hill. And most of Denny. And Yesler is kind of scary these days.

You know what? frick those people. That ain't systemic racism, that's worthless fricking people being propped up by the government for their entire lives. They live in squalor because they CHOOSE to live in squalor. I have no sympathy for them, I have no empathy for them.

The Youtube commercial from your link was a video on women clothing for FUPAs ShaperMint.

That was my point. The guy who said “all cities run by dems looks like that” purportedly lives in Atlanta.

I'm no defender of New Orleans, but this statement is just pure stupidity, and shows you're totally ignorant about the city.

If you want to think Boston is a shithole, by all means. You’re entitled to your opinion.I’m glad those 10-15 hecklers gave you a good chuckle though!
