i mean, are we wrong? if you've lived anywhere outside missouri it's not even an argument really.

all these methheads, proud boys, and conservative christians here can go fuck themselves lol they're degenerates.

I have lived east coast, west coast, down south and no matter where I lived you will see the same if u even remotely look for it. California is a shit show, New York City was amazing until it was taken over by whiny Libs and those rhat think they deserve everything without working for it ( That is slowly destroying every town) Drugs are everywhere. Cost of living is out of hand everywhere. That said Springfield isn’t bad besides the politics within the city GOOD OLE BOY THING ( if you want it just pay up) and Mega Churches

i think on the contrary that old people prove to be very fragile and stubborn people especially the midwestern population. they're resilient in their beliefs.

but to say to yourself, it is what it is, or "the grass isn't always greener on the other side" is to sell yourself short on what life actually has to offer. to have lived in one place your entire life is the definition of sheltered and insulated. you'd have to be resilient to let yourself live that way. i met iraqis who were the same way. it's why they didn't leave the country. 'family lived here for thousands of years'. sure, see how that worked out for them now too.

i couldn't do that to myself or my family.

even if you were unfortunate enough to be in the army with their notoriously shitty duty stations you know that's a patent lie come on now!

i'll put any of your shittiest duty stations up against mine(fort polk, LA hah!) and springfield and you gotta tell me why springfield is preferable.

if you told me i had to check-out and go back home to springfield from fort polk, i'd probably actually cry. i don't know anybody that chose to live there longer than a few years.

I’m in training right now for a job with the state. Still get to live at home in KC for the time being but within the next year I’m going to have to relocate to Springfield. I was in a pinch trying to find an entry level job right out of school so I thought Springfield wouldn’t be so bad since it’s somewhat close to home, but now that I’ve visited a few times I’m wondering why on earth I thought that this would be a good idea (despite multiple people advising me otherwise) desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose…
