fides' Jack Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Where I live, the population is over 400K, but the pop per mile is a little over 2K. I like this size. There are more people than you would guess, though, because it's spread out. Still, not too big, not too small. Nearby is the town of Bust. For the longest time, it had a population of 1. He got married, so that increased to 2. (I don't think it's an official town - but the sign on the side of the highway will make you think it is). [quote name='kujo' timestamp='1339541585' post='2444077'] I think joining any branch of the armed services should be something arrived at with more than the viewing of a single documentary, and definitely not done because [b]some jerk[/b] on a message board said you should... [/quote] Aww... You're not just [i]some jerk[/i], you're [i]THE jerk[/i]! [quote name='kujo' timestamp='1339543897' post='2444097'] Nope. Vegan lesbian Muslim from Polynesia who works at a fair trade coffee shop and has a manga-looking tattoo of Karl Marx above her left breast. [/quote] So, a woman from the east coast? [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1339544075' post='2444099'] I'm not sure if you understand the implications of this, but I'm from Kansas. It would be difficult enough to even find an openly lesbian woman, let alone a vegan of either sex or sexual orientation. I can honestly say I have never met a vegetarian or vegan in my life. [/quote] You've never met a woman from the east coast? [quote name='kujo' timestamp='1339596343' post='2444261'] You'd never have made it anyway--you're more of a Maoist anyway... [/quote] Oh - I [i]love[/i] mao! So tasty on my sammiches! [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1339655539' post='2444539'] It's certainly not the concrete jungle. There are spacious plans as far as the eye can see, and despite popular belief, there are some unbelievably hilly areas around here. It's hard to find a flat spot, though trees are definitely not something you find often. [/quote] Ah - must be South or East Kansas, then.

Vincent Vega Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'll play! Home (can't find one for the unincorporated area I'm from, so I'm using the closest incorporated community): just about 1,000/mi[sup]2[/sup] School: just about 2000/mi2 The principal city of the MSA at home: 1061/mi[sup]2[/sup] (but to be fair, it is the largest city by area in the lower 48, so it's a fairly large amount of people spread over a huge amount of land).

[/quote] Exactly. There are some things that aren't so nice, like how everyone here knows everyone else's business, and everyone is really nosy, but at least we know who everyone is and we know who to avoid. All of this compared to some place like New York which has millions of people that you do not know nor can you trust. I honestly like being able to lay down in the middle of the street without worry of being run over since there's such little traffic, and I like the fact I can walk around after dark without having to carry a concealed weapon. I especially like the fact everyone here has guns. It's like the NRA motherland around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
