it's as simple as that

Probably 8/10 of the state is peaceful.

cuz that is what happens when you put a bunch of ppl close to eachother

*8/10ths of the area of the state

Compare that to the rest of the nation... I rather live here than anywhere else.

a city can overwhelm a large section of a state if it's sparsely populated outside the big cities

tbf 8/10ths of the state are hills, plains, and forests

*the area of the state

Not really...

again, the population isn't the area, that needs to be specified

Forests are not that big in Oklahoma. We are mostly farm lands and small towns.

that is an obvious assumption and joke

This story is going to be memory holed SO FAST

if you have 51% of the population in one town and 49% of the population in the rest of the small towns, "most of the state" is that one town

language matters

Hmm... I can see your point.

also no, oklahoma does not have that many farms

But I honestly think we are very peaceful people.

And we are always helping each other in time of need.

lmfao that tweet though

irony is glorious sometimes

calling us nice is something many ppl do who dont hate us because we dont live on the coast lines

A number of dangerous cities in Oklahoma drive up the state’s crime rate. In each of the state’s three metropolitan areas — Lawton, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City — the violent crime rate exceeds the national rate. In the Lawton metro area, there were 747 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2015, the 15th most of any U.S. city.

Yes Mollie's death is the highest level of irony. She defend illegal immigration only to be killed by illegal immigration.

ik, i stated it was very likely influenced by cities

Three cities out of hundreds of towns and small cities.

which one would u consider a "small city"?

the cities in ok arent even that big compared to many other cities

Stillwater, Oklahoma is a small city.

ehh, maybe

It is only 3 miles across.

tho a good portion of its notoriety is because of osu

Oh yeah, the college.

It also had a international college there as well.

So we have many foreigners living in Stillwater.

"foreigners"

you mean non-oklahomans?

I was just saying we have a international college aka exchange college.

No from out of the nation aka foreigners.

South Koreans, Japanese, Britains, Russians, etc, etc...

i havent been to stillwater too much so i can neither confirm nor deny

but i dont see a problem for non-americans coming to oklahoma

i almost find it interesting that they would choose to come here in the first place

and not some more well known state/city

I find it interesting too. Have gotten to know many people from around the world because of that.

Became friends with an South Korean who was pretty cool guy.

He even offered to take me in if I ever decide to come visit South Korea.

thats nice of him

Yeah, one of the perks living in Stillwater, I get to meet many foreigners and get to know them.

Population per square mile of Oklahoma.

I see Stillwater as a small city, it still hardly visible on this population index.

Tulsa and Oklahoma really take the cake as being the biggest cities here in Oklahoma.

yep

unsurprising

well

that tulsa is tulsa and broken arrow

I think there needs to be some effort to clean up those cities.

meaning?

Rehabilitating the criminal element, teaching them how to hold down a job and earn a honest living.

^

Give them more opportunities to lift themselves out of crime.

true true

Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

Kill the man and you keep the fish,

Communism works people!

Communism is taking all his fish and distributing it to the people who are too lazy too. What is left over is then given back to him aka the bones.

Well if we are talking about communism, there would be presumably no one being "too lazy" to work

They just assume people will work for free. Sorry but human nature is greedy.

Anyways I need to lay down, I am passing out at the keyboard.

No work hard? GO TO GULAG

@Timcast Thanks for being a great journalist, you open my eyes to many things that I normally wouldn't be able to see. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for talking to me Captain...

I do appreciate being able to talk about these things and learning new things.

Broadening my knowledge.

Same my dude

The more I know, the better I can understand the world around me and be able to effect it in a meaningful way. Being ignorant of the situation will only serve to make things worse. ^_^

Agreed

Re: communism, not owning your own labour is effectively slavery. How can you own yourself when you can't own the fruits of your labour?

Re: Trump
So did the left want President Pence or did they just not think ahead?

real communism doesn't work, realistic communism is just killing anyone who doesn't serve 😛

They call that socialism :^)

"If we separate all the murder into a separate stage it doesn't count"

Commies are that guy who rejoins the server to fix his k/d

true

doesn't work cuz after a while its bad anyway

Communism would need two things to work: total conformity in the rejection of private property , or a very advanced state of post-scarcity

The former is simply impossible because of free will, greed and egos of the humans

The latter may never happen because of exclusive items always existing and being in demand

Should we ever try? Can't we just settle down with something that already works? No?

Even then, social loafing undermines the overall system

And a centralized economy cannot be counted on for efficiency

controversial opinion: communism BAD

"So did the left want President Pence or did they just not think ahead?"

from experience and observation, they do not think ahead.

even post scarcity won't work, communism needs everyone to never try and gain authority

and its human nature to just want a little bit more

Communism could work in small scale. Small enough so that those who do not conform or no longer want to conform can leave the group without significant upset. But we are talking like town sized communities.

basically tribes or family units

well in real communism theres no heirarchy,

Sharing stuff works in small communities but theres still leaders

i imagine everyone deferring to someones judgement would not be considered a "heirarchy" to a communist.

... people wanna get rid of Drumpf but don’t understand they are bringing in Mike “Zap the Gay Away” Pence smh
