Oh yeah, st. Louis, the shining bastion of how great a city can be. Get over yourself.
Not great over there. Rednecks for days. Awful race relations. Like, really bad.
A quick looky-loo at st Louis demographics on Wikipedia tells me there ain't very many rednecks over there. The fuck are you talking about?
Hey bud, St Louis is not a state.
Don't be butthurt. St Louis sucks ass, just fax. Don't think you know how to read anyway, much less a Wikipedia page.
Are you agreeing with me or not?
Now it's confirmed you can't read. Yay for our school system.
Look everyone, it's someone who has nothing intelligent, useful, or interesting to say, yet they still felt like joining in, so instead provided about the most useless, smooth-brained criticism possible.
Gotta love it when someone tries to rip on someone but instead just shows everyone they're a low-effort moron. 5/5 self own.
I don't get it, why are you upset at him saying St. Louis is bad but not upset at the guy saying the middle of Missouri is bad?
It's almost like you're biased or something.
Your comment doesn't make any sense as a response to my comment, so I think you responded to the wrong person.
Maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension, then.
You, sir, are a douchebag.
I originally had a diatribe here about you and people like you, then I realized it made me just as bad. Worse even because I know better. To my defense, my father just died, so I'm an emotional wreck.
You misunderstood my original comment and I must have misunderstood your response. The difference is I was polite in my response to you while you were snarky, rude, and unhelpful. You didn't even try to explain what you meant because you don't care about conveying an actual message or being understood. Just like the guy I was originally calling out for being a dick (it had nothing to do with what was being said, simply how it was said), you're just looking for weaknesses to score hits on other people. It's classic bully behavior.
To be fair, I was snarky and extremely rude to the other guy, but I'm pushing back on his being an asshole. I guess I'm just tired of online bullies like you two.
I get what you're saying here but this isn't the way to say it.
