“The entire state of Mississippi isn’t good enough for me, but I’m not entitled.”
Yeah… supply and demand applies to you too, buddy. We can’t all live in the Bahamas (which is actually surprisingly cheap), but that doesn’t make ‘regular’ places like Mississippi shitholes. You can live a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people in a $60k* house in Mississippi.
*I haven’t been house searching for 2 years, it’s overwhelmingly likely this number has increased to $70k or even $80k. Still way way cheaper than what you think a house should cost.
Close. Terre Haute, Indiana. And, like the rest of Indiana, it’s a shithole. So I may know a little bit about living in a shithole.
And yeah, you can probably get a house that cheap here- if you want a “unique fixer-upper” in between the meth lab house and the house with squatters in it.
Now it’s your turn to tell me that if I didn’t want to live in the luxurious town of Terre Haute, known throughout the world as The Utopia on the Wabash, I’d know how people really live.
Alright see, there you go saying an entire state is a shithole and (I assume) ‘not good enough for you.’
That’s what I mean by entitlement. It’s insane that you can be living a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people on the planet, yet still think you need more and should get it before they do.
We’re just passing a bunch of money around at the top. And most of us are proud of it.
Lol, that’s funny. When you say ‘shithole’ when buying a house, most people will think you’re talking about the quality of the property because that’s an issue that affects everybody.
If you have something specifically relevant to you that causes you not to like a place, then understand that your judgement is not an absolute truth. Most people will not consider Indian to be a shithole because of its legislation, but you’re an exception.
Instead of saying a place like Indiana is a shithole, you should say it’s just not good enough for you. That takes the faux-objectivity away from your argument and allows us to discuss on relative terms.
See how it all goes back to entitlement? Trying to convince people you ‘need’ something because that way they’re the bad guy if they try to take it away from you. In this case, as with most, it’s money. You need that money, and anyone who gets in the way is a bad person for taking away your needs.

No. Right-wing dominant places which are enemies to queer people and women are shitholes. In their entirety. Indiana is not good enough for anyone who is non-Christian, queer, a woman or an ally to them.
But sure, you want to be a Trump voter and its paradise. I’d say that makes it a shithole.
Calling a fascist state full of idiot Republican bigots a shithole isn’t entitlement, it’s accuracy.
I’m glad you at least came clean about your sentiments on the matter.
Now we can see you don’t speak for everyone, only people with your specific issue.
When I think ‘shithole’ I imagine places like favelas in Brazil or the black part of Johannesburg. Hopefully you can see how Indiana is significantly different than those places, where unfortunately many people are forced to live while we pass a bunch of money around at the top.
I’m sure you also think Florida is a shithole, and lots of tribalists will agree with you. I, personally, do not. Most places in Florida are great to live. Some places in California are awful to live. I don’t think the politics of any state are horrendous enough to call them ‘shitholes.’ I’m looking at things from a global perspective, though. Because we live in a global society and it’s not fair that people in Indiana get more before those in Somalia.

Please- do tell me where you believe I live. Go ahead. Guess.
Kentucky.

Yeah, crazy how I would call a place that legislatively is making my queer daughter unsafe a shithole. But I guess I’m just crying liberal tears.
