re: Why is this board so completely negative about Louisiana?

Sounds like you fully understand why yet you made a thread

but go spend a year in Cali and let me know how it goes.

Love it or leave it, buster.


The reality is that attitude does in fact cause a lot of good people that could improve the state to leave.

I'm especially troubled by the venom that gets spewed about LSU (the university). Yeah, it could be better, but the LSU of today is a shite ton better than the one I attended in the 80s. It's gonna be hard to break through the perception of being terrible when that's all you hear and read online.

Seriously, if you don't like it, feel free to move to Texas some other shithole country. Nobody is making you stay. But if you stay, why continue to run it down? If you think LSU is so terrible, then send your kid to Ole Miss.

With respect, didn't your son go out of state?

Many educated are moving away and you aren't fixing it with the continues brain drain. Have you ever been to and compared suburbs in Texas to ones in LA? Go compare the suburbs of south Houston to Met/Kenner and get back to me. Not even going to get into places like the woodlands.

People are down on LSU because of the president. Be is a disaster and has been the whole time. Pretty much every metric of judging a university has went down since Emmertt left and especially since King took over. I refuse to be optimistic if the president is going to push an agenda that is counter to improving the university

Yeah, the state is a shithole in many ways. Yeah, the state government has never done much to inspire confidence in its people. Yeah, the lack of jobs and a parasitic underclass make many people want to move away.

No shite, only state to lose jobs and outside of LC the state is losing jobs at a staggering rate compared to it's peers.

The governor is dog shite and his policies are killing the economy.

But this shite happens in a lot of places. Have you ever been to Detroit? Baltimore? San Francisco? People love complaining about taxes, but go spend a year in Cali and let me know how it goes. Life may not be perfect here, but it's not horrible. Not by a long shot.

San Fran is a great city with tons to do. It has its problems, but you comparing quality of life there compared to here shows how out of touch you are.

And want to talk about taxes, try the freaking 10%+ sales tax, outrageous gas tax and the high income tax and what we get in return compared to places like Texas.

And people talking facts is not running it down, it's speaking the truth, apparently you can't handle the truth.

Why is this board so completely negative about Louisiana?

---

because they live there?

I don't, only thing I notice when driving through is the preponderance of attorney billboards indicate not much else must be going on, at least not much worth advertising.

could be wrong, but people make superficial judgments all the time

If that sort of logic, you must be a product of the Louisiana education system.

To name a few.

I asked that many months ago.

I get there are jokes and some like to shite on each others Cities, but they just casually shite on every city, w/o it even being a topic.


Topic creator: Hey, i heard Toyota will make a new SUV

La posters: Shreveport is a shite hole, frick New Orleans, anyone from Bossier can suck a dick.


It's so weird
