I finally admit it.

I am afraid to leave the state of Iowa

The only time I will leave iowa in my life is when I go to London (whenever that is.)

All the other states have major crimes and big cities such as Omaha, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis, and Sioux Falls. All those cities scare me but I'm an Iowa man and always will be. I haven't left the state since 1994 and I am glad I haven't.

Uh....ok look- no offense or anything, but what if Iowa just broke down and went in the crapper? What if it was the most dangerous state in the USA? I mean.... seriously

RainMan · 12-16-2002, 01:20 PM

Dude can't u ever say anything positive about me? like if you don't like my posts just simply don't post on them. Because I'm sick of your negative posts. This is the chit chat forum and i can chat about anything I want.

Thank you.

How can you mention all those cities and NOT mention NYC!!!

Although, I told my mother that Id rather spend the night in NYC by myself then to walk down an alley of Lawrence, Mass.

And, if you dont like going to those cities of crime, why not some place like Vermont, Maine, NH, CT, Rhode Island, or Alaska? And, if you really want safe.. come on down to Southern NH.

Oh, and to answer the poll.. I like leaving my state-- as long as I get back. Yea, my state is boring, but I hate change and would rather spend the rest of my life in New England-- everyone I know is around here, why mess it up?

Well, I live in North Carolina and I've been as far south as Miami, FL and as far north as Ohio. however I have been lucky enough to go to London and Paris! It was a trip with a bunch of my school friends and we had a hell of a time there! I'd love to go back to London again and I've contemplated moving to Alaska once I graduate college. As much as I love it here in North Carolina I can't help but day dream about how my life would be different if I moved away. In all actuality I doubt I'll ever leave NC for good. I love it too much. I've lived in the same house ever since I was born and I love it here. My whole life is here, my friends, my family. I'm not scared to leave but I do want to stay for as long as possible.

oh by the way, there are two places i'd never want to live Texas because of tornado alley, and California because of the earthquakes

STOP URE MAKING ME JEALOUS! lol

The reason why i'm not going on the Gator Bowl trip during christmas break is that Florida has hurricanes and the Disney World roller coaster will drag you around the tracks (a guy died by being dragged around on one of the roller coasters)

Stop putting words in my mouth. I never SAID I didn't like your posts. Did I say that? No. Practice what you preach. Second of all, I don't exactly find my above response 'negitive'. I was just merely saying 'What would happen if Iowa turned dangerous, then what would you do?'. I was proving a point.

Third of all- MY negitive posts? Oh, you think my posts are negitive, don't you? For Christ's sake, you got one guy in another post calling you a loser, anyother one saying your just plain weird, and you think MINE are bad? I never called you a loser. I think people have the right to be obsessed with whatever they want.

Yes, the First Amendment states that the congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. So I know you can post whatever you want.

Hasta luego

I love NYC because I was born and raised there. But I realize it's not for everyone. I've had the priveledge to join the Navy and see the world. You cannot live in fear because you'll miss out on alot if you do. Just because there is more crime in certain places, doesn't garauntee that you're going to get mugged.

Try telling that to my Dad. He STILL doesnt like the idea of me & Amanda going to NYC alone. We decided on Disney- which he likes.. but we're going to be 19. Im sure if I didnt live with my parents still I could do whatever I wanted, but Im not going to piss him off and disobey him just because I want to see Conan and go shopping. Its not worth it. Especially if I DID get mugged. Ay yi yi.

And I agree with Karley.. she even said and I QUOTE- ok look- no offense or anything. She meant no harm. Just stating the facts, AND her opinion.

Omaha?? I live in Iowa...about 1 mile away from Omaha...there arent that many awful crimes that are commited there.

But to answer your question, I'm not afraid to leave Iowa. People broke into my house here (in Iowa) so really, bad stuff happens here too.
