Do yourself a favor and never move to West Virginia

[Athefre]

My family is considering moving to Florida because jobs and companies are disappearing here in North Carolina. After moving back and forth between North Carolina and West Virginia for the past 20 years, it'll be nice to be in a new place. We've lived in a few houses in West Virginia and much of my mother's side of the family lives in West Virginia. Today we had to make a trip there to get some stuff of ours to sell towards the move. I hadn't been there in about 5 years. Things were worse than the last time I had visited the family. Stores, produce places, and various other businesses had been closed and boarded up. It really made me realize how bad this place is. Many of my younger family members have been or are heavily addicted to drugs and or are in jail. It's not just the young people that are being affected. Talk to someone older; they are full of depression and some have told me, with tears in their eyes, that they wish they had stayed in school.

I see. I found out about how bad West Virginia was from xxoxia.

 

[AustinReed]

Ok?

 

[Athefre]

This is a cool story, bro. Read it and let it really sink in.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

My thoughts exactly.

He's retarded, you shouldn't take anything he says as fact. I really really think that guy is literally ****ing insane.

I really think america is falling apart, insights like this depress me a bit.

Where are you going to move to in Florida? some places around here are equally depressing.

You're stereotyping the whole state, and it's not NEARLY as bad as you make it sound. Who are your relatives, the Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia? >_>

I suppose I shouldn't have appeared to be assuming the whole state is like this. I've lived in three different cities in West Virginia and they were all equally negative. Maybe somehow I haven't seen the "good" parts of the state.

He's weird, but most certainly not retarded. So just STFU.

 

[aronpm]

Yeah he is

 

[AustinReed]

^Agreed.

 

[ianography]

Yeah he is

If you got to know him, then you would think otherwise.

 

[AustinReed]

I don't need to meet him to know he's insane.

Where have you lived? I live in Clarksburg (Bridgeport technically) and downtown Clarksburg isn't the greatest but it's not like run-down with places boarded up, at all. I like it just fine for the most part.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. I have really good friends that I thought before were crazy, stupid, etc.
