Suburbs

Suburbs are generally located in metropolitan areas and are for strange reasons, considered to be the worst places in the United States. Many people (especially from the Inner City) think of suburbs as places populated by soccer moms and such, when that isn't entirely true. Other people that live in suburbs will think of them as worthless places with houses that look exactly the same. The media also portrays suburbs with houses that look exactly the same, but that isn't true. There are plenty of nice places in the suburbs, and these are all stereotypes given by ignorant people and spoiled brats that continue to explain suburbs as being boring. Saying such about suburbs is equal to saying that rural areas are filled with rednecks or urban areas are filled with ghettos and thugs. Not all suburbs contain the same looking houses or monotonous mcmansions and ranch houses. I personally live in a suburb that has old but large and unique houses that are at a good distance and the neighbors are friendly. Sure there are many faults with suburbs, but there are also many in urban areas.
A Conversation about the Suburbs

Spoiled suburban brat: "Man these suburbs are so boring, there's nothing to do. This is the worst place in the world."

Someone from an urban area after seeing a movie: "How can anyone live in the suburbs, there are soccer moms driving SUV's and houses that look exactly the same."

Moderately Intelligent Person actually from suburbs: "I live in the suburbs and the houses don't look exactly the same. Infact they would be easier to find than a specific apartment. Stop coming up with stereotypes. Also, there is plenty to do if you aren't lazy, just hangout with friends or find a hobby and quit whining you simpleton."

Firearm

Firearms are used for several reasons
-Cheating in a knife fight
-Commiting Crimes
-Hunting
-Destroying small objects out of boredom
-Target Practice
These tools first came around in China with the work of gunpowder. Europe began using firearms in the late 1300s. In the 1500s, the arquebus arrived and anyone could be recruited into the army in a short time, thus knights or any other honorary soldier that had spent a years to a lifetime training weren't needed as little skill was involved in operating a gun. In modern times, many countries have banned them, but they remain common in criminal hands. Although most firearm owners are honest non-criminals, any idiotic scum can get their hands on a firearm, giving it a bad reputation, and giving politicians thought about banning specific guns. There is much controversy in this issue, afterall some people just like going duck hunting with 155mm howitzers, and small concealable silenced automatic weapons designed for murder are perfectly safe after all.

Gary, Indiana

Gary is a town in NW Indiana named after the founding chairman of U.S. steel, Elbert H. Gary. It was once a nice middle class town with many steel mills and small businesses but ran downhill mainly because of urban decay. Now it has a 25% poverty rate and more than twice as much crime as the US average. Many great people are from Gary, such as the Jackson family, many NFL stars, aswell as actors. Now, Gary remains little more than a poor derelict city. If you happen to drive through Gary, you will notice that it looks more like a post apocalyptic town. NWI locals generally give it the nickname "Scary, Indiana."
