Just watched The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. A reminder of why I left home at 15 and
never looked back. The people I grew up with were/are mirror images of the Whites. Unfortunately, very few of us escaped.

1. Interesting, isn't it?
An inside peek at the Tea Party's headquarters.
Produced by Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine FYI. (Jackass just got real.)

3. I grew up in Ohio
As my friends would ask, "The corn side or the rice side?"
What am I, a Crispix?
You were obviously on the WV side whereas I was on the IN side.
My own relatives called me a hillbilly. Like it's a putdown. Well YOU OOO married one!!! Dipshit.
No meth in my bloodline tho, thankfully.
Sheepishly proud to be buckeye. And HI in the middle.

7. Huh.
My dad worked in Logan and we lived in Lancaster when I was 5.
Sorry about the WV reference. My opinion of you has nowhere to go but up from there.
As long as you never did time in Youngstown. 'Cause you'd be marred for life.

...how they (Whites) thought their way of living and their world was normal and it's the rest of us that are f'ed up.

6. Same with most of my family. They believe that anyone who works for a living instead of running a
scam or thieving is a chump. They live in the moment never considering the consequences of their actions. Incarceration for them is the cost of doing business.

8. THESE are the people prisons are built for. Not pot smokers.
Skanks that can't live straight.
THESE are the people that even Democrats declare are welfare queens.
Everyone is this film either gets high, gets arrested, or gets their baby taken to Child Protective Services because the state KNOWS they're skanks.
And they're all thieving, drug addicted miscreants who have no concept of Work as a way to sustain your livelihood.
Their life is rough. And they deserve it that way.
Unlike most of us.
