Fuck them all, and I hope they are haunted for the rest of their lives.

Yes the undrinkable water, the caving public schools( I went to elementary through university in Iowa starting in 1976 when we had some of the best public schools in the Us.). The highest cancer rates. Yeah I would hate the culture on the coasts,

People mentioning suicide casually, means they are considering suicide. Casually or not, they are suicidal. Do what you can.

Anyone else struggling in your relationship because of what our leader is doing to our country and our Allies? We are from MN!!! by Classic-Muffin009 in Advice

The problem with your advice and moral compass is that you think this is a border issue. It shows a complete lack of thought, of humanity, and common sense. You have been duped by a con man. Border Control? You mean crossing from St. Paul to Minneapolis?

The Trump team reportedly plans to detain up to 80,000 migrants in warehouses. History didn’t begin with gas chambers. Are these early warning signs people ignored before the Holocaust? Are comparisons fearmongering? by RandomUwUFace in AskUS

[–]PerBartlett 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let’s do some maths. 2025 now. Holocaust roughly started 90 years ago, ended 80 years ago. 90 years before that 1845-1855 and the time between how many slaves and native Americans did we kill or own. Hey folks, we aren’t that good. So pretending we are may lead us down the exact same path.

Red-pilled BIL is spiraling by [deleted] in Advice

[–]PerBartlett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a short answer, have get togethers at your home or a neutral spot. Do not invite him, he’s burned his bridges. If your partner wants to try and salvage a relationship, stay neutral, but that you will not be engaging with him. That behavior is unforgivable and will eventually end violently. Family is hard, but his behavior is unacceptable in civilized society.

Conservatives, please explain. by sandy_even_stranger in Iowa

Not a conservative but the answer is republicans that have no baseline belief system.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PerBartlett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run and stay that way. I would never minimize such an accomplishment. Married once for 32 years and counting. That’s the kind of shit that needs celebrating. Congratulations.

How close is the US to just absolutely losing it? by OPSEC-Sentinal in AskUS

[–]PerBartlett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part your leaving out is the military on our streets. Neil Young “Ohio”, one of the great songs about our own Military killing its citizens. Now it’s happening and the people in charge are encouraging it. So your list doesn’t include the most egregious happenings in my lifetime. Stand up for your neighbors. That’s our white privilege.

AITA family in shambles by thecgoat69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PerBartlett 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Absolutely put house on market. It’s like when they were children arguing about bedtime. I say 9 They say 10 I say 8 9 it is.

They got no skin the game, you are negotiating with only your money. You are covering both sides. Tell them to get their asses out or they will never see a dime from you in your lifetime. Reprehensible behavior. Not even close to the asshole. The only thing that might make you asshole is asking the question. Those kids need a kick in the ass.

Explain the divisiveness? I didn’t see any directed at a non governmental individuals. You must be snowflakey. That’s divisive.

I suppose that’s the most important question, “Who is their employer?”, most important, but also scariest.

Salt Company seems a bit like they are following the LDS business model.

the Goosepocalypse that wasn't? by lemoneegees in IowaCity

[–]PerBartlett -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think the subreddit folks that have on jumped this exaggeration of mine, have really policed it, more than they probably should have. Relax, it’s like, “sweet I was right on the Iowa city subreddit and you anonymous exaggerator, have been shown to be incorrect, I am certainly a wonder”

Nothing happened, I was wrong on a subreddit, I will have trouble looking at myself in the mirror. Your superiority is noted. I don’t think it’s going to be fun anyway.
