Rumor What's going on in Portland?

oookay… lol. I grew up and graduated there. I moved away less than five years ago, to about 15 miles away from the city limit.

So imagine your post doesnt have the relevance you think it does…. Oh wait. No imagination necessary.

now imagine growing up and loving the city but being saddened by what you see and then witnessing the silence of those who live there, as they turn a blind eye to the issues that are clearly prevelant?


Whats worse? Your scenario? Or mine?

Sorry i don't really care if you cant handle someone just outside the city limits bringing up the news no one else will.

Now imagine the audacity of someone who actually gets annoyed at someone else for making sure some things about the city don't get lost and dismissed???

Sounds alot like a Karen type behavior to me…


Whaaaa!!! That guy over there is telling me my city needs help!!! How dare he!!!!

Lol. Come on Barfo….

 

I'm going to say it's no myth...my asian wife has a spotless record too but she's pissed off countless road ragers by driving slower than anyone else on the road and stopping 15 feet behind the car in front of her at a red light......I drove in asia enough to know the myth is real.....I have a perfect driving record too...when you drive a motorcycle in Taiwan everyday you get a real clear picture of traffic tendencies. Lot of aggressive tailgaters in America...lot of road rage...one thing about asian drivers....you won't see road rage from them at all.

 

you know what? Ill add more to your post because there are so many angles to how you typed that up. .

If the roles were reversed, id ask dude from canby for help in cleaning it up.

How cool would it be if people here just accepted the truth and united together and created an S2 volunteer cleanup crew and went out on a weekend and cleaned some places up?

i would make sure i could help.

But instead of going in that direction, your direction is to get mad at me because im an “outsider”??

shit two years ago i would have tried to spearhead such event, but because of how people are and how your response is a perfect example, not a chance. Though if someone else did, id be the first to hop on board.

So before you get all defensive because im pointing out the truth, why not work together to do something about it?

your response is a perfect example of the issues todays society has.

instead of trying to build something up, you'd prefer to tear it down. Cut off your nose in spite of your face.


People need to put aside these stupid petty differences and learn to unite together again to help better this country…and this city.

The headline says 2021, but the data in thw article is from 2018.

 

I found another list for 2021 that is a bit different with San Francisco and Lubock Texas on the list. I looked for current data and found several of these but Portland is not on any of them...

 

This one is Jan 2021

I guess that’s good but my god that’s an atrocious list. Not making that list isn’t something to be overly proud of. Shitholes.

 

nah thats fair and not fair for me to say people don't care. Id say maybe some didn't care to voice the same concerns i had and have, but preferred to voice displeasure of my posting about the issues, And riding me as some villian.
But to say people don't care about the issue is wrong.

 

Having lived in St. Louis I can believe they're high up on that list.

 

No, no one should ride you. Disagree with you? Fine, but riding someone is a step too far.
I know you to be a good person who's just wrong about some things.
You're the reason that I'm nearly bald. Ask me about that sometime when you can take the heat. Hotter than a chili pepper.

Cleaning up does no good. It'll be trashed immediately after. The trash isn't the problem. Our refusal to deal with homelessness is the problem.

 

Beautiful evening with the family on The Bluff watching UofP vs Gonzaga.

 

so pointing out issues in the city and deflecting the return fire from other is tearing it down?

suggesting instead of giving me shit for pointing the issues out, we should unite positively to help clean it up, is tearing it down?


You saying you don't care to do anything aBout it is a positive help solution?


Okay… well you certainly have a right to your opinion.

see how one can disagree without being insulting?(not saying your specific post was insulting)
