      <![CDATA[No, fuck this and fuck hipsters. Just because you can't entertain rednecks doesn't mean they are all bad and it doesn't mean that we can't get rid of the rednecks AND the hipsters and maybe have a populous of mostly educated people not driven by how ironic they can be.

      <![CDATA[As a resident of Vantucky, I get the worst of both of those worlds. And with no more than a 20 min drive, I can be deep into redneckville (think Yacolt, Washougal), or hipster land; Mississippi, Alberta or "The Pearl".

      <![CDATA[I too am from the rest of  the state.  I always view people bitching about Portland with  narrowed eyes too, because the reason we all came here was to get away from whatever shithole -urban or rural- we came from, right? And if the price is having to be around a bunch of twee people, that's no fucking challenge.<br>
<br>
But no; the things people complain about as regards P-town are almost always petty things...that get blown way the fuck out of proportion to major crimes because this is the internet and subtlety best not show its face here.

      <![CDATA[While not exactly a rant, this was well written, spot on, and somewhat topical for me, personally. Quite a refreshing change of pace from the usual 4 or 5 recycled I, A's.

      <![CDATA[Ahhh; I'm so glad Portland is extremely different than any other city/town in Oregon.  I grew up in rural Oregon; wasn't that great; pretty shitty actually.  The only good things I can actually say about rural Oregon; the police are actually kind and seem to like they're career.

      <![CDATA[Amen to that, I,A. The suburban 'roid rager who wanted to kick my ass the other night for being "a creepy old guy staring at my girlfriend when she's eatin' pizza" is 100 times worse than a hipster who just ignores me or giggles at me behind my back. <br>
<br>
And I wasn't staring, I was just pretty buzzed and my glazed eyes happened to be aimed in their direction. And I'm not really that old.<br>
<br>
Damn, I got some issues, don't I?
