I am not bagging on any people, just the town. There is a difference. It's ok for all of you to bag on it, why can't I? Because I don't live there anymore? Wrong. I have lots of family that still do. Sherry, are you even from DC? How old are you? Anyways there you have your answer. Are you happy?

Most love it here and are glad I did encourage them to stay. There just isnt any opportunity there. I use to be very proud to be from there and somewhat still am. You all don't hear the things I do whenever I tell people I am from there. DC has a VERY VERY bad reputation all over Kansas. I am sorry to say but it does. I pray that the town cleans up and gets back to the place it use to be before EXCEL came crashing in. that would be fabulous! Right now though I don't see that. Haven't you all read that other thread about Mexico? Well the illegals are taking over everything, and they have taken over DC. I feel so bad for everyone who lives there, believe me.

I think it's more your "I'm superior to the rest of you" attitiude that pisses them off. You continually present yourself as better than anyone who's "stupid enough" to still live in Dodge.

I'd be willing to bet that if the details of the "bullshit" you put up with were known we'd see that you were a big part of your own problems.

Life is what you make it and that includes where you live. I've found that people who complain about beig bored or that there's nothing to do where they live are just lazy. They expect someone to take responsibility for their entertainment rather than doing something about it themselves.

But that's just how I see it from the sidelines.
