Insight.

Well, after I went on like a blistering fucking idiot about politic, I figured that I might need something to relax the readers, and hopefully calm the angry mob that would be busting down my rather poorly barricaded door pointing fingers and trying me for treason.

I hate this place. (meaning where I am residing, rather than this website) But it's as good as any other place in the country, or even abroad for that fucking matter, wouldn't you agree? Every place has its own problem. And you're just gonna have to learn to deal with it like a man. But what's the problem of the place I'm living in, and why it's so bad that I have to hate it knowing wherever I go, it'd just be same story different characters? Well, for all those Northern Virginians out there, my heart goes out for you. That's if you're even educated about the situation. We, the northerners of Virginia, pay more than three quarter of the state's taxes. The county I'm living in is considered one of the most populated counties in the entire country. On top of that, the cost of living is also up there with the rest of the most expensive zipcodes, and that's not because we have a couple hundreds celebs buying millions dollars houses and cars in our neighborhood either, nor do we have both east-facing and west-facing shorelines to rack up the real-estate pricing of the local beaches. We pay most of the state's spending with about 1/8th of the land. More taxes create more jobs. Jobs attract immigration from other part of the state, and neighboring states as well. You don't spend an hour getting to work anywhere in the state, not even in New York City where you can just walk, or take the subway. Getting to the subway here is about half the travelling time already. We fund an entire town of southern Virginia just by our speeding tickets alone. And allow me to inform you that cops around our parts are rather good at that and not much else. Why is this happening? I'll have to leave that up to you to decide. That's assuming you give a rat's ass.

Onto other matter, youths around these part are a nuisance at best, and junkies if you're lucky. If you aren't, they OD and die. Heroin are being bought from Maryland, and sold in high schools' hallways at jacked up price. But of course, our daddy's little girl can afford it. The social classes clearly divided into the haves and have-nots. The haves drive their Benz to parties, drink till they drop, and call their daddies and mommies to bail them out of a DUI. The have-nots buy cheap booze off a 21-years-old friend, get drunk then go shoot up a police station or the school they go to. (I live 2 streets from the VTech shooter, btw) Drug plays a big part in our lives here. Marijuana circulates the streets as currency almost. Youths around these part have their sights set on the next party or the next blaze. And it usually doesn't go much further than that. Except for a fortunate fews that aim to bug out as soon as they are able.

And that's why I hate this place. None of the above is even the slightest exaggeration of the truth. Tell me the problem(s) with your little beloved community.
