Who thinks Joplin Missouri and middle america in general

[GURUving]

sucks.

[SiobhanClancy]

1. I can't say that...

I'm a New Englander,but my mom was from Carthage,MO...which I believe is close to Joplin:)

[GURUving]

2. I have a relative

still living near Carthage.

So, was your mom okay, or what?

[SiobhanClancy]

4. My mom was very OK...

a sweetheart:) And my grandfather,as a state legislator,introduced the Women's Suffrage Amendment to the Missouri Legislature for ratification..which is fairly cool,too.

3. I don't think any part of America sucks

if you like to live there. I'm a New Englander and prefer the Northeast, but every region has its good points.

9. Hey now. Thems fightin' words to a native St. Louisan

12. To many chat piles down here to see anything!

[sleipnir]

13. Note my flag and my apathy towards Missouri

[Lady Freedom]

15. You`re not in Kansas anymore heheheh

[Lady Freedom]

18. Thats for sure! But it ain't OZ either!

:)

[LincolnMcGrath]

22. Oz is where you make it.

I lived in MO as a child btw.

16. Good to hear!...so was I (Topeka) since moved on...Kansan always, though

[Lady Freedom]

17. Little ol' Baxter Springs!

My mom worked at the hospital there!

[NightTrain]

23. I once drove the freeway from St. Louis to Joplin

From what I saw, central Missouri at least is very pretty! Lots of what appeared to be vineyards, too, which surprised me. I mean, who's ever heard of Missouri wine???

Besides, Missouri also gave us Chuck Berry. That's reason enough to love the Show Me State.


My heart's a-beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps a-singin' the blues.
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news!

26. You wouldn't think it, but Missouri wines are very famous.

I know that it doesn't seem likely, but I think (not sure) that Missouri has the most vinyards and wineries in the midwest.

6. Picking on Lady Freedoms hometown?

Well at least we never fell for that "east coast-westsiiiiiide" rap war.

lol

[GURUving]

8. just a question. I lived there too

and I hate it with a passion that compares to no other.

I hate that fucking place, and expanded the question to middle america.

Is that ok?

[Lady Freedom]

7. Do we know each other???

I live in Joplin and go to MSSU! Hate it, but stuck here for awhile!

[GURUving]

10. No

I'm just saying I've been there, and know what you're going through. If I was you, I would transfer to Springfield as soon as you can. In a minute. Don't stay in Joplin.

[Lady Freedom]

11. SMS does not have what I am going for!

alot of the parts, but not the whole package! So I'm stuck here for 2 more years!

[toddzilla]

19. st. louis here..

yes, it sucks.. we get about 3 months of good weather a year. too cold, too hot, too rainy..

[GURUving]

20. Oh Hell, it's not that bad

there are plenty of good points too, but the general atmosphere turned me off in a big way. I wish you luck getting through it sane.

[NightTrain]

21. When Bobby Troupe wrote "Get Your Kicks on Route 66"...

...he mentioned Joplin in the lyrics. That's good enough for me.

Viva Joplin!

[Lady Freedom]

24. Did I mention that Joplin was a Big stop for...

Both Bushes on there campain trails and that MOST ppl here are Republican?

[woofless]

25. I lived in Joplin for many years.

In my opinion it sucks OUT LOUD!
