Currently I live in Springfield(one of the 27?) Massachusetts, USA. I grew up just outside Toronto, Ontario and I hate it here. Murder rates are the highest in the region, heroin is passed around like candy, the politicians are probably the most corrupt in the country, and everyone is indentured to one or many insurance or mortgage companies.
Example: I once was riding a city bus when some guy walked out around the corner and shot the windshield with a handgun, luckily this windshield was pretty fortified, but the bullet is still in that windshield to this day. Luckily someone on the street tackled the man and knocked him unconscious until authorities arrived. You will never hear of this because of the huge cover-up by the mayor and his board.
The people who inhabit the slums, which is the entire city and the 3 surrounding towns, at most times do not know simple math have kids half their age and believe enough jesus and drugs can cure any disease, especially the ones they make up. I have a saying, "When I cant carry a gun, I carry a knife, when I cant carry a knife, I carry a fork." Personally, I'm not a fan of being able to carry around firearms, but when the gun control laws strengthen (preventing lunatics to carry weapons thus not giving me a reason to carry mine) I'll gladly turn in my little PPK.
Now spending most of my life in Southern Ontario, Massachusetts disappoints me.
1. I miss lake Huron, every lake here is full of toxic sludge, and the ocean is nasty.
2. I CANNOT FIND A POUTINE ANYWHERE.
3.The city is full of people where they don't know the proper definition of the word "ignorant" but use it in every other sentence anyway.
4. The hill towns are full of bumpkins and the richey rich hopped up on oxies and percs.
5. The burbs try to think theyre better than the inner city people completely oblivious that theyre still the 99%.
6.DO NOT EVER COME HERE. You will get stuck in this city and you will die here.
Now being away from home really pays toll on my mind, my physique, and place in society. I say I'm from Canada and they say... "*enter discriminatory name for homosexual here*" "commie" and "you ruined bacon" maybe because of
this song the people who take it seriously and the fascist writer and I say fascist because of
this song. If you cannot guess this stresses me out to no end and my complexion and reaction to people reflect this.
Here's a good example of Canadian who get stuck in the states, check out this cajun, Shelby Stanga(yes the one from Ax Men)

As you can see, Canadians stuck in the states, seclude themselves, develop speech problems, wear incredibly short shorts, ride forklifts as general means of transportation, shoot their meals from said forklift store it in said short shorts but yet still have the selflessness to give it to someone who needs it more than them. So overall they go completely insane.
The area is just like the rest of the states: the majority hates and discriminates whoever is different as much as possible, the 1% financially rules over the 99% and the people will make up excuses that they feel threatened to be able to take something from somebody.
