Urban vs. Rural; What's to be done?

[heydaralon]

The backlash to pointing out cities concentrate pollution and destroy ecosystems has been funny.

'Cities are sacred! You can't say that. Their cleaner than where you country rubes live, Hrrrrrmpf!'

They really have no idea, dude. This stuff is theoretical to them. The environment is literally a theory to the urbanite. They don't have much interaction with nature.

Dude you literally just sent me a picture of all those scented candles and bubble bath perfumes you picked up at Hobby Lobby. You know nothing of the real world, and how tough it is out in the suburbs. Its hard out here in Orlando. You wouldn't understand as you haven't lived here the way I have. The gangs, the drugs, the fistfights I get into on a daily basis, the homeowners associations etc. It takes someone with brass balls to earn a living in O-town.

To all you Orlando city-haters out there:

Keep talking shit.


Keep hiding your ip address behind that VPN.


My dad's best friend is the Dean of Computer Web-inars over at University of Phoenix. He has extensive contacts in the online community who know tor and how to use whatismyip.com. Watch when they get you for torrenting. Watch when they find out about your reddit account because you accidentally posted it on here. Do you think it is wise to shit all over the mighty 407? These dudes can look at all the meta-data and determine pretty quickly at your reddit thread when you posted by analyzing timestamps and the date the thread was created. They can even determine the username and how many upvotes the post got.

i'd be curious to see the pollution rates between los angeles and somewhere like tokyo, i noticed tokyo was pretty clean for a giant city, compared to los angeles atleast

Tokyo is 99% high-functioning Japanese people, though.

If you examine the exif meta-data from Speaker's avatar you can determine that in all likelihood he uploaded it via an ip address. Dude probably lives near a power source of some kind, maybe an electrical grid or a power plant since it takes electricity to connect online. We can also conclude that he is likely American or british because he seems to have a mastery of the English language. These trolls like to insult and talk shit. They act awfully arrogant behind their computer, but they leave an electronic trail of bread crumbs that allows the University of Phoenix crypto cyber team to ascertain many damning details. Of course, there are all sorts of reasons for folks to use an ip address, but a big one is so they can use the internet. Ben knows.

well yeah exactly, perhaps my distaste for cities and urban areas was focused too heavily on the centralization of people instead of the diversity of people, as far as urban vs rural goes

Japanese are just a great people all around.

You're strawmanning again. I have repeatedly said per capita for these comparisons. Some place where 8 million people live course can't be as pristine as a place where eight do. You still don't offer an alternative for where the billions of people that live in cities should go, other than into ovens. You sure don't want them coming your way! Do you seriously think that every Urban resident of the country heading out into the countryside and homesteading would be better for the environment???

That would be considerably better, actually.
