  Sounds like a classist remark from some ignorant city dweller that cheats rural workers out of fruits of their labor.

    If you want people to live in your boring rural towns, you have to compensate them better.

      Where else can I get boozed up and skrrt 65mph down the state highway in my uninsured shitbox and throw beer cans at the cyclists (poor people) on the shoulder?

  The town? Yes, they’re usually pretty boring.

  But if you can’t find something to do out in nature then I’d argue it is you who is the boring one.

  Then again, I like boring so YMMV

    We have nature in the cities. Or I could drive 45 minutes and be in nature, I don’t need to live in some rundown crack village with a bunch of alcoholics and backwards KKK people to experience nature.

      We have nature in the cities.

      With all due respect to the pigeons, rats, and carefully manicured parks: No, you don’t.

      I don’t need to live in some rundown crack village with a bunch of alcoholics and backwards KKK people to experience nature.

      There’s your problem, you’re living in the town instead of way outside it.
