Big cities lead the Top 15 list in violent crime, theft, and assault. Is it all of these highly educated people killing others?

I'm not "woke", beta males like beta males I guess.
Now where in my post did I call Rick Scott a moderate?? I know it's early but please read before responding. Rick Scott did not move the gov't to the left, he just cut out the destructive crap that the GOP House/Senate were trying to pass. He also cut some things that would have helped Floridians. Overall Rick Scott was not a man of his word, he would tell people that he would support their legislation and then veto it last minute.
There is zero chance that the FL Legislature would flip to Democrats in 2 years (probably not even 8 years) unless you just cut off the panhandle, just too many Republican strongholds.
Hmmm, so you are saying that the more people that live in an area, the more crime there is? Interesting....
Liberals gather and stay in college towns because they dont want to work and rather serve coffee at the local shop during poverty reading night. They are professional lazy ass free thinkers. Hippie 101.
Big cities attract bums and folks that rely on welfare housing....most of the smart people leave after work and live in the suburbs.
these arguments are painful to read. there are plenty of smart and stupid people all across this country. they are in big cities and little towns.

I would have thought that these superior, highly intelligent and inclusive people would live in peaceful harmony? You're telling me that's not the case?
Since when does intelligent equal peaceful?
How do you think evil people come into power? With stupidity?
An intelligent person crafting his way into a position of power to lead a State campaign of violence is one thing.
A large number of intelligent people deciding to blow away people over an argument, rob their neighbors, carjack people at 2 am, and deal drugs from their home is a totally different thing. I.e. it doesn't really happen. Intelligent people in a micro level don't typically engage in this self destructive criminal behavior. (other destructive behavior, sure)
You are making some pretty big claims about the composition and ideals of the Republican Party. How about you back those up with some statistics?
Some people fear Diversity, board had similar comments from the Nebraska trolls on why Lincoln was a superior place to raise This Place Jr over Winter Park
The demographics are very different though.
As far as raising a kid goes, maybe if you’re a helicopter parent. When the most exciting thing to do on most nights is to cruise O Street, it’s gotta be easier to keep a kid out of trouble.
“The composition of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters has also grown somewhat more diverse over the last 24 years”
Granted not as diverse as the Democrats certainly. You’ve also claimed the Republican Party is moving more extreme right. Please elaborate on what you mean by that.
I don't think I claimed that they are moving more extreme right. Although the next GOP caucus will lean farther right than the past one. I think that is more of a "Trump purge" of more moderate GOP members. Trump listed them yesterday. "Mia Love, she showed no love".
Nearly every one of 85’s posts in this thread is less logical than his previous one.
I haven’t sought out people to fight in public so I’m still a step ahead of you.
I'll fight you. Just say when and where, and send 4 plane tickets so I can bring my posse.
It was a Florida comment. You noted the legislature is GOP majority and then said we are getting close to extreme-right government. This is hyperbole. We are far from extreme right and the laws of the state of Florida have moved left in the last however-many years. Look back and you’ll see.I don't think I claimed that they are moving more extreme right. Although the next GOP caucus will lean farther right than the past one.

The movement is a good thing but everything should be measured actions and not emotional reaction. We really don’t need to get into a pendulum state where we’re alternating majorities and each one is trying to undo and then outdo the other. That’s a horrible state of affairs.
Not extreme right wing, a super majority. The house, senate and governor has been in total Republican control since 1999. The House has a 65% majority and the senate 57%. When the numbers are that skewed, you get too many people that think alike and group-think-tank type of ideas. I’m a fan of divided government.

I lived in Gainesville for three years and have built quite a few projects there, I would hardly call it an “intelligent” town. Rather, I would say there are a lot of people there who think they are smart.
I never get what is meant by a city being "progressive". Does this mean it's run and populated by liberals? I consider St Pete to be an extremely diverse and vibrant city that has pretty much everything someone would want, it has a huge LGBT community, and yet it was largely developed and brought up by a Republican Mayor, conservative donations and money, and frequented by conservatives from neighboring communities.
My neighborhood is strongly GOP yet most everyone goes downtown on the weekends to take in museums, eat, drink, shop, etc.
Metro areas are so blended now it's hard to tell where one city ends and begins.

There is no ****ing way you go to museums on the weekends hahaha.
Gainesville is a podunk town with a major university. Without UF, it’s Palatka.
Progressive usually means the city is open to minority and LGBT people/events. You probably aren’t going to see a Puerto Rican day or LGBT parade in Crestview, FL.
I've probably been to more museums in the past 2 months than you've been in your entire life in Indiana.
The James Museum, the Dali, and the MFA. All in past 2 months.
Sorry you don't culture, brah.
Ok but does that mean Crestview is not "progressive", or simply too small to warrant a parade?
I would call that tolerant and diverse. That is not the same as progressive. Chicago is progressive even though there is a good deal of bigotry riding under the surface (yes, I know that city appears to be very accepting and is in some ways but there is still a large amount of areas that are not). It is progressive because of the politics and policies put in place that amount to social engineering. These are in place now and have been for years regardless of whether the Eastern Europeans hated the blacks, or the Italians hate the Latinos, or the blacks hate everyone not black.
85 is clearly wrong about where chicken lives. he wouldnt be caught dead living in a rural area with those dumb red hat hicks.
