Berkeley ‘instructor’: ‘Rural Americans’ are ‘bad people’

I think most genealogists would be very surprised by this revelation. It is just as absurd as your first post.

I have driven back and forth across this great nations many times. There is no shortage of radio stations. Most have good music.

I rarely listen to Rush. I have no interest in that radio format. Also, it is difficult to find a station that includes Rush. You are so full of sh// that your eyes have to be brown.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am more apt to find a left leaning station than a right leaning station.

 

Totally false, all the Fairness Doctrine (FD) required was, if a station aired an editorial that someone else had an opposing viewpoint of, the station was required to provide airtime to the person with the opposing view.

Many times this resulted in lightly educated people with little mastery of the language their 5 minutes of fame while they made total fools out of themselves forcing listeners or viewers to change the channel to get away from the babbling drivel being proffered.

Programming and paid for airtime (infomercials) where totally exempt from the FD.

 

I grew up on on a farm. For awhile, my brother and I had a side business raising pigs. We were inspired by an ancestor who made a fortune exporting pigs from Ohio to Iowa, just as Iowa was being settled.

 

And when it comes to rural areas you are so misinformed it's pathetic.

You are also clueless as to how DBS works.

.

 

It's also totally incorrect.

 

Just a foot note. We had satellite radio, but stopped using it because of their tactics. You can only cancel with a phone call. I tried to cancel with a phone call and they renewed me anyway. Not only that, my credit card had expired and they added three years to it and used it anyway. I complained to the state attorney general, but it did no good.

Since then, I transferred many of our CDs to flash drives. We now have about twenty flash drives with about ten CDs each. We can go anywhere we want with music of our own choice. Usually popular plus a quite a bit of Rachmaninoff.

 

Just West of where I live is Packinghouse Road, I wonder what they do there, I know from time to time I see 5Th wheel trucks pulling long trailers filled with cattle down that road.

 

I would rather be surrounded by friendly hicks than the drugged up urban trash South Florida and many other urban areas are so full of.

 

When was the last time you cut a pig?

 

There are places in Oregon, mostly in the southeastern part of the state. The people are virulently anti government, anti environmentalists, anti Democratic, and anti liberals. However they lack the economic activity to generate enough taxes to keep a sheriff department. So the rest of the state has to pay to provide police and fire protection. Also, because of the lack of sufficient economic activity, a good portion of the population get SNAP benefits and the Medicaid version of Obama Care. And you know, because Oregon is so liberal, the Oregon Health Plan is one of the better systems in the country.

When Roosevelt was president the cities all had electricity and telephone service. But most rural areas did not. Roosevelt got enacted the Rural Electrification Act, which provided funds to bring electrical and telephone service to rural America, just as they subsidized internet connections to rural areas.

During WWII, many of the new recruits were fresh off the farm. For many of them, the first time they saw a flushing toilet, was when they landed in England, on their way to fight in Europe. At the English military bases, the toilets were made by the Thomas Crapper Company. Not knowing what else to call them, the soldiers began calling flushing toilets, "crappers". That is where the term crap comes from.

He should have known it was wrong when he first posted it...

 

No Democrats cry when American's vote against thuggery and abuse of power.

 

Yes. The leftists in this thread are clueless. They wouldn’t survive 2 weeks without someone making and warming their bottle.

 

Well enlightenment and deprogramming from leftist insanity The darkest moments in human history were when assorted leftist kooks were allowed to run things.

 

Cut the power to an urban area and in two weeks there will be total anarchy, stores will be looted and burnt out the elderly and weak will be slaughtered and death will be everywhere, conversely cut the power to a rural area and you will find a lot of campfires and armed posses, many of them Deputized maintaining law and order while distributing water and food where needed.

It's two totally different lifestyles, one is an all about me first and I'll steal what I need, versus the other which is a community pulling together as needed to ride out the crises.

And that is not speculation I have seen it first hand after natural disasters.

 

Sounds true to me, but include cow stuff. Farming uses fertilizer but also produces it. I didn't grow up on a farm, but spent my high school years in a farming community. I've hired on to buck bales in hay season and a few other things. Have some straw around her right now- used for bedding in dog houses in winter, so I know that difference too. My family moved from a big city in my teens where my high school class had more than 500 in it to a small town area where my class had 12 in it. Now some might think that is reduction in educational opportunity. After I got past the culture shock, I found the opposite. I learned substantially more and generally more useful knowledge in the small town environment- and enjoyed it a lot more. While some people do look at farmers as backwoods, I do not. They are heavily self reliant, and many are managing businesses with a lot of dollars on the line- with equipment, such as tractors and combines, easily costing $200K or more. Slackers simply don't survive in farming, because you can't fool mother nature.

My brother has traveled a great deal, and he once made the comment that "Many Americans think the rest of the world is made up of third-world countries..."
I find this is parallel to how many people think, believing their own sophistication to be the benchmark, and people they don't know, and generally don't agree with are all stupid or primitive.
I'd like to see the average high-tech guy tackle some every-day farm challenges, see how well he would do....

 

Rural values are American values.

Urban values are European, Asian, whatever ...

 

Have you ever driven across Wyoming?

My eyes are blue. Not just any blue, but blue on blue, pure bright blue sparkly eyes.

Over the past few years, as DNA sampling had gotten better and less expensive, a lot of papers on the subject have been popping up in science journals. My current favorite being the magazine, Science.

It is quite interesting the studies that have been being done. The more interesting has been where they test the DNA of ancient remains, and current populations. It has required some historical theories to be rethought. For instance, white skin most likely first appeared somewhere around where Denmark is. Turns out, certain ethnic groups do have specific personality traits, they seem to be genetically linked.

When I was growing up in a conservative Catholic home, it often seemed that there must be something different about me, that I never accepted the Christian line, while my family seemed to swallow it whole. One day, a great uncle of mine clued me in. He pulled me aside and told me about the Masons, how he and my grandfather had become Masons, so that people would think that they were religious, without having to go to church. When I asked my mother what religion her parents were, she said all they would say was, we don't talk about it. I'm not so sure my mom really believed. She was rather passive and just went along with whatever my dad wanted.

Adding to this, the brain studies have been showing that the likelihood of one's political leanings are evident at birth, just as one's core personality is. And one's politics are are often the result of one's personality. Gather a bunch of random people in a room, and you can pretty much guess the politics of most individuals, just by taliking to them long enough to get a sense of their personality.

Personality research has shown that many highly intelligent people tend to have certain personality peculiarities, that other people don't have. This personality type can be seen modeled in the TV characters, Spencer Reid and Sheldon Cooper. Of course their peculiarities are exaggerated for dramatic and comedic effect, but the basic personality type is shown. Do you think those two characters, if they existed in real life, would ever vote Republican?

 

If a rural town can pick up and listen to, say, four talk radio stations -- two conservative and two liberal -- but they all listen to the conservative talk stations and never the liberal talk stations, it's almost certain that Trump controls their minds.


Trump's "Hickster" command and control module.

Nothing they can do about it now.

 

yes.

Show me one that shows that people from the south are predisposed to be conservative. Keep in mind that DNA interpretation is based on data on where the people came from to start with. The data tends to be tainted because of that simple fact. i.e. If the data is based on conservatives which came from a specific location, then you will see data showing that conservatives came from that location. It is no longer a independent correlation, but a dependent correlation. Dependent correlation borders on being worthless.

Show the link

Show the link that ties this to farmers in the south.

I am not religious. However, I know some scientists who are very religious.

 

Leftist talk radio almost always fails because leftist talk raio is full of hate and bile for the other right wing talk radio is not. After a while Air America was so bad other leftists didn't even listen to it.

 

Ya know, day drinking and posting aren't recommended, it tends to make some people look like they have no brain.

you couldn't possibly be more wrong. so wrong that its cartoonish.

 

I'm thinking the poster and the Berkeley person are the same person.

where do they get these insane opinions?

 

Do you think the opposite holds true in the cities?
