Washington or Arkansas?

[ErlickBachman]

Man honestly, I think both places suck. But if I was forced to choose, I'd go with Arkansas for cost of living is dirt cheap and the ability to own virtually any firearm I could fathom.

lmao

I have family in AK and have visited WA

if you are liberal id say go to WA if you are independent and open minded and like nature and working hard and having space go to AK

if you like seasons go to AK if u hate seasons and like rain only go to WA

if you like hiking go to WA if you like hiking and hunting and fishing, AK

if you like big city liberal life at all and need it to be a part of yours, do not go to AK

if you hate big city liberals then go to AK

both are wonderful places but you will be severely lacking in liberal outlets if you have the need to do lots of liberal activities, u know like music festivals, tech trade shows and shit, but if that shit isnt your bread and butter, I would recommend AK because liberals SUCK

Has anyone lived/live in these areas? Opinions/comments? Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks pals <3

Since, I have not lived in either state i figured I'd enter an opinion... GL...

I would look into the various landlord/tenet laws in each state, I have heard about shady shit in AK when it comes to rent a day late.

Would definitely rent out property in AK though. Things may have changed.

If you have already made your decision by entering a lease and you have a good job with security then it's not much of a thing... *(would note that it's almost entirely dependent on the lease)

gratz on your opportunities...

I kinda wondered if it's meant more as being liberal with your activities... go to lot's of shows and events... or... participating in liberal activities like shows and events...

Why should it bother you that people are voluntarily killing themselves in a peaceful manner? Get over it.

Spoken like a true opioid addict. Because these people have friends, family, and people who depend on them. It would be great if they could just kill themselves with narcotics if it didn't affect everyone around them. I thought that was obvious though.

Yeah no one ever gets behind a wheel on heroin or opiates

Completely victimless crime

You are not the people police; you have no right to intervene in their lives. Here's something you didn't consider: they're going to do the stuff, anyway. That's the whole point of this to begin with. You give them a safe space to do it while keeping it out of sight of their family. Who would you rather find the remains? Children or social workers? I'm going to go with social workers.

If you believe people don't get behind a wheel after shooting up heroin or popping prescription pain killers then you have no idea what's going on in the world. It's on the news every single day where I'm at. Although I'm sure you meant most people don't shoot heroin up while literally driving.

Opioid dependency is a disease process and requires education, intervention, and treatment. It's what educated healthcare professionals get paid to do. The majority of people with narcotic addictions typically do not fall into the category of being able to educate on the matter. The freedom to destroy your life is not a good argument in light of those scientific facts. And unfortunately, as already stated, it's not just your life you're destroying.

Sorry for the derail. Had to educate our fellow forumquester. Let's get back on topic.
