Are we (Minnesotans) an unpleasant bunch?

Mostly just you, Garage Guy.
You certainly can't reasonably be called Garage Logician because whatever you are smoking proves that there is no logic, or any known reasoning method, to your posts so far. It's still, "I said it therefore it's true." You still embody that good old Minnesota Nice by starting a new thread & ripping me without even saying anything about it to me in the previous thread wherein we started the discussion. There was no Minnesota stab-'em-in-the-back passive aggressiveness there was there? Hahahahaha!
Now let's get right down to your "reasoning."
Hardcase made some remarks in the Rochester thread that simply cannot go without a response. So as not to further wreak havoc on that thread, I made this one.

Thanks for letting me know, foo'.
You didn't respond in the previous thread?
In no particular order....Rochester a suburb of the Twin Cities, that's laughable. Next in line for suburb status in Hardcase's world, Des Moines, followed closely by Lincoln and Denver.

Just moved here, huh? Cripes, every time that I drive down 52 it's more built up. Ever been down that way? Rochester is growing north & Minneapolis St. Paul is growing south. People commute from Oronoco to Rochester & people commute from Cannon Falls to St. Paul.
Someone walked up to you and said Minnesotans were unfriendly? And then the Strib published an article along the same lines? Well that seals it for me. Proof positive that what you say is true, one guy's word and an article in the Strib.

Apparently Minnesota passive aggressiveness is more widespread than even you realize:
www.startribune.com/stories/464/5557894.htmlJust a part of the article discussing a Minnesota writer:
"It's such a nice, conservative publication and the article was so shallow and almost insulting; a passive-aggressive insult , if you will," Carlson said. "I was just so shocked. It was about someone who was from Minnesota and obviously still involved in Minnesota. It's not like I snubbed Minnesota, and they wanted to write an article and snub me back. I just would have expected more of Mpls.StPaul magazine. If it was Star or Us, I would be like 'Whatever.' "

Next, reading comprehension is your friend. "Someone?" Nice try, but factually incorrect. I believe that I said something like "I've had people mention..." Where do you get "one" out of that?
Your assumptions about me are equally groundless. A product of the "ultraliberal" MN public school system? Not me, I'm a born and raised red-stater. Although this is home now, and I do consider myself a Minnesotan, I got my manners where country music and NASCAR are king.

Please go back. You are making me re-think my belief that southerners are friendly.
My experience with Minnesota has been quite different than yours. I find most people here to be quite pleasant. I've found that most of the folks you meet on any given day in any given state are decent, pleasant people. Maybe it's just you.
|
I'm so glad for you that your experience has been different. It seems like you should fit right in based on your recent posts.
Anyway, your arguments are childish, full of unproven assumptions and generally not well thought out. But let's discuss it, I find this entertaining.
|
"Childish," "unproven assumptions and generally not well thought out," huh? I haven't seen any FACTS in any of your posts to refute any of my statements. You've reverted to your "I said it therefore it's true."
Back away from the bong.
My advice to you is to seek treatment here in the Land of 10,000 Treatment Centers.
