Seriously. In the past, I've spent much time in the city. Now, I try to live as far from those Zombies as is possible.

i'm stuck in the city but i would rather live in the country. The other day while detecting I saw a car pull up next to mine. Two young men got out and walked around mine looking inside. They saw me starting toward them and got in their car and left. It isn't the first time that it had happened. I never had any worries about crime in the country.

Small towns
I think a lot of us would like to go back to life in a simpler time and place , I grew up in a small town that was much like Mayberry on tv. Nobody locked their doors , your neighbors watched out for each other. Kids could play outside with out having to have some one watch over them.

Yep! Back when loonies and criminals were locked up, and you could buy guns cheap through the mail. When TV programs were all suitable for all ages, when things like morality, honor, virtue, ethics, pride, and family still mattered (and were appreciated). When schools taught what you needed to know in life, instead of pushing corrupted ideologies and revisionist history with a political agenda.
Yeah....I miss those days.

It's sad times we live in. Good thing you were within sighte of your car. Not sure what you drive , but see if you could get one of those remotes to activate the horn from a distance. That would stain their drawers in a pinch.

When I was in the military and working for my dad I lived in some good sized cities. San Antonio, Denver, Colorado Springs, Columbus GA, but I grew up in as a small town person. Dodge City has a population of around 28,000 now but I still consider it a small town. Love the people and how they know everyone. There is something to be said about a city that never sleeps, but there is also a lot to be said about a town that closes on holidays.

Yea , sometimes , when you really look at the way things are , and the things that are happening , and the bleak outlook of things to come , sometimes it kind of makes me feel lucky to be old , and thinking that I don't really have to many years left to have to put up with this $hit.
+1 Seems we humans can invent technology beyond imagination....but we can't even act human . I cringe when a child is killed in conflicts or a species on our planet is extinct.
Perhaps the gentle sheep could do no worse then the present lions.

I am convinced the world is no more dangerous today than it was 20 years ago.
What makes everyone think otherwise is the 24 hour news cycle, if something happens ANYWHERE everyone hears about it because they constantly need more news to keep the viewers watching.

True to some degree but technology of advanced weapons could be much more destructive then a decade ago, on the flip side early warning signs is advanced also....NK is a ticking time bomb.

Yes Sir! I watch more "retro" TV than anything, particularly westerns. Just good guys and bad guys without all the destructive divisionary labels and moral bankruptcy common everywhere now a days.
Can the world get more crazy??

VATICAN CITY, Dec 25 (Reuters) – A topless activist from the feminist group Femen tried to snatch the statue of the baby Jesus from the Nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square on Monday but was stopped by police as she grabbed it.
A Reuters photographer said the woman jumped over guard rails and rushed onto the larger-than-life Nativity scene shouting “God is woman.” She had the same slogan painted on her bare back.
A Vatican gendarme stopped her from taking the statue and she was detained. The incident happened about two hours before Pope Francis delivered his Christmas message to some 50,000 people in the square.
ps
I can just see the men google this event lol

Small town Louisiana
5 years ago we moved here to the bayou country of so Louisiana, town of 1700 pop. We left Tucson, Az 1 where they have one million pop, graffiti everywhere, gangs & murders everywhere, drugs running rampant, etc. After many years there we left and here the people smile & say hello, absolutely no graffiti, jobs for anyone wanting them, lots of old time main street parades, churches are big here.
There's more but you get the picture. Sure glad we made the jump ! Think about it before it's too late. Steve in so la

I love Gunsmoke, especially the early half hour episodes. I think every actor from the 50s and 60s was on it at least once, Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Harry Morgan the list goes on and on.
My town was basically closed today, I only saw 4 stores that were open. On the plus side I did get hugs and kisses from some ladies I know. One of their husbands had a gun on him and he didn't even shoot me. He's a police officer and required to carry all the time, even off duty.

It all comes back to Gunsmoke. Michael Landon was in 1 or 2 episodes, and Victor French was in a bunch as everything from a sharecropper to a sheriff.

Wow, any thread I start seems to end up way off track, but this one came about full circle. Small town life is about looking out for your neighbors, helping people, just saying hello in the Dunkin Donuts can make some ones day.

The Rifleman was a good one . An honest hardworking ,single dad ,hardcore man , teaching his son to be an honest hardworking man . Life skills , and values that are definetly missing , and desperately needed these days .
