I love that dax points to a single isolated murder of an abortion doctor as a stain against the state of Kansas. I wonder if Alabama has any objectionable homicides in its history. Hmmm.

LOL, the implication is that Kansas (comprised of mainly white people) is somehow more enlightened.   A state that re-elected Sam Brownback multiple times, you know, the governor who wanted to allow state employees to opt out of dealing with those gosh darn gay and alternative lifestyle people.

Haven't heard you complain about the rollback of federal protections for the LGBTQ community under Trump.  :confused:

Honest question? What rollbacks has the LGBTQ had under Trump? Also, please be respectful, it's LGBTQIA+ now. Thank you!

I think Alabama and Kansas and Missouri all have their charms, even if they're imperfect.

Try not to focus on only the ones that you find to be reaching.

They do more harm to their point than good with a list like that.

We only re-elected Brownback one time. Also, it's not like you would have voted against him if you had lived here.

Can’t stand Brownback. 

Thanks for asking.

Imagine being so obsessed with being right and owning the libs that you clown on your own alma mater. Smh.

Problem is that ksu’s declining enrollment doesn’t improve Alabama.  It’s still an economic, wealth and education hell hole

Yea it's one of the know your audience things, it isn't helpful for certain audiences, but probably is fine for some audiences to elicit an emotional response for a call to action.
I stopped reading once this was first on the list.

Do you think I’m anti LGBTQ? Cause I’m not. I’m as pro as it gets. I’m at the gym now, I’ll have to check it out later. I need a pbp for this with each presidency and where this community is currently when it comes to rights.

Depending on how much time you want to spend to answer your question...there's plenty in there and yes some of it is below your threshold for intolerance.

I think this link is better

https://www.al.com/news/2019/12/alabama-5th-fattest-state-heres-numbers-1-2-3-and-4.html

That's an issue almost wholly part of minority communities. 

I was just in KC for a week, so don't bother telling me it's way different.

Big shout out to the super forward thinking KC burb for considering allowing the Jews, the Gays and The Blacks to not have to worry about super racist HOA rules in the year of our FSM 2020.

You mean the community where Mrs. Dax and I are minorities?

I don't know how it is in other parts, but around here the YMCA's, crossfits etc. etc. are full of people.

So you got me.

But stay racist my friend.

It's okay to be the grossest and fattest (and dumbest).  At least Alabama is first in something!

Having worked with public education customers in 15 states over the last 20 years, it's pretty much a competition of seeing who sucks less.

Then again, Missouri is home to two of the largest failed public school systems in the country, and rankings only saved by White Flight Burb schools in KC and St. Louis.
