I went to Montana a while back for a week. Needless to say I was depressed when I was at the airport about leave knowing I was coming back to the muggy shite hole that is Louisiana after spending a week in probably the most beautiful state in America. Weather was also 100x better there too.


It’s when I go on nice vacations that I realize just how stale and boring Louisiana really is.

You listened to Democrats.

You were just arguing the other day about how bad the taxes were on businesses here in this state.


Who is the dumbass now?

If you dont think Louisiana has drinking problem you are wrong. If you dont think the guys driving around with 5 dwis arent contributing to your auto insurance being that high, you are wrong.



People do drink here. But there are states with much more people.

The math would check out other states have more people who drink.


quote:

While California has the highest number of DUI arrests, North Dakota has the highest rate of DUI arrests per capita, meaning more DUI arrests relative to its population



So yeah California has more drunk drivers. Makes sense with the population numbers.


quote:

Other states with relatively high DUI rates include Montana, Idaho, and Alaska.



Let’s see fatal wrecks.

quote:

Wyoming ranked worst for drunk driving problems and had more fatalities per 100,000 people than any other state.

Wrong. It’s because the current public schools sucked and they wanted a chance to govern a school system properly. It wasn’t about race. That war was over when desegregation came about in the 70s.

Louisiana lost, at most 0.5%. The three top gaining states gained, at most, 1.7%. These are not earth shattering numbers.

The most obvious connection between Louisiana and other states that lost population is they all had democratic governors (except West Virginia) at the time of these numbers.

Too many dumb and lazy people here who are always looking for someone else to fund the good times or bail them out of bad decisions or lack of preparation. A lot of folks here think they are conservative. In reality, they are socially conservative populists who vote and govern accordingly.

Because the state government is set up to take money away from its citizens and give it to oil and gas companies who don’t give a frick about you.

Because crime isn’t punished at the rate it should be.

Because the culture is to be drunk off your arse rather than work your arse off.

Because tax cuts mean cuts in education, not giving money to people to spend on education.

Because of rampant corruption.

Because generations have gotten used to it and are now complacent with the status quo.

Because you touch yourself at night.

That'll all change now that we have chem trail legislation and dark tint windows.

We're on the fast track to greatness.

Who you vote for is important. Those in office who fail to represent me will not receive my vote in the future.
