I'm seriously wondering if this guy is a Forum member.

The last quote was referring to a QuickTrip convenience store. Yes, a QuickTrip. Not a carbon-spewing Koch Industries factory. Not a Bangladeshi garment sweatshop. Not a sinister Monsanto science lab. The place where you buy mediocre donuts and bucket-sized cups of soda while filling up your car.

White college student full of self-loathing and postmodern internal commentary hates an old white guy named Nixon. What year is it?

TNF, is that you?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

This is like a parody of TNF.

[IceSpear]

He actually seems like he'd fit in well on Atlas, though he might end up with a lot of his posts in the sage garden.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

The QuikTrip being wrecked was a tragedy, the Little Caesar's was a public service.

[Cory]

Just another lame ass SJW.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

What a douche!

This is like a parody of TNF.

No. It's more like a parody of Phwezer before he '180'd and became an anti-true leftist.

[Simfan34]

Quality thread, FF. Guy sounds like Snowstalker.

Nothing wrong with his commentary. I agree with much if not most of it. Suburbia is a horrendous place.

And parents are the worst, amirite!?

Parents who would raise their kids in a suburb don't deserve their name and should have their kids confiscated.

Yes, how dare they raise their children in a place where they can afford a house large enough for them to have their own bedrooms and a yard to play in and at least semi-decent schools. Shame on them for not crowding into a studio walk-up in Williamsburg and spending evenings taking the kids out busking on subway platforms to make sure they experience "real sh!t."

How dare people enjoy life!

[Mr. Smith]

Horrible journalism,...not for being wrong,but for the melodrama and terrible diction.

Reads more like the average High School kid honestly.

You made my point for me bro. Suburbia isn't real life. It's a disgusting experience and stop trying to cover for it. the subway is probably the most magical form of transit available to mankind.

Let me guess, you hate small towns too, huh?

Eh they're actually not too bad. Small towns, cities, and rural areas are fine. Suburbia is the limbotic purgatory no-man's land.

Why the singling out of suburbs?

Because he was raised in suburbia as an upper-middle-class white boy and he hates that. Someday, hopefully, he'll grow up and realize that he's been spitting on the privilege many of us would kill to have.

I actually grew up in one of the largest urban areas of the EU, so before you try to comment on my life learn the facts. I wouldn't expect much though, from someone who has barely 100 posts.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

There are good, objective reasons to hate suburbia that don't make the person with said opinion childish or immature.  I'm personally horrified at the idea of my future children being raised in your average suburb.  Kids learn through experience.  What experience will they have being raised in the economically, racially, culturally homogenous 'burb?  What you get is the ignorant little a--hole that I was when I was 19, spouting out "n-gg-r this and sp-c that", referring to pedestrians who weren't given a car like me losers, and sneering at those in lower economic classes.  I was lucky enough to get to college in Camden, serve on SGA, and get to know a world outside of where I grew up, allowing such filth that had infected my mind to be permanently washed away.   

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

I grew up in the suburbs of Louisville, and I am so glad that I wasn't raised to be a snobby rich kid.  This probably has to do with the fact that my parents grew up poor.
