Urbane ping.
Time to ban cities. They are not good for your health.
Having to rely on DemocRATS for your survival and having ACORN freaks showing up at your door, 24/7, to register you to vote would drive anyone crazy.
City folks are nuts.
There is a commendable lack of psychiatrists in rural areas, so if you are crazy you’ll never get diagnosed. You may even get elected to Congress.
[I think it’s the absence of farm animals.]
The exotic marvels of the city become mundane when compared to the joys of animal husbandry.
The incidence of psychosis escalates in a mathematically linear fashion as one approaches the center of large urban areas.
In other words, City Center = Miserable CrazyTown and Distant Suburbs = Happiness Village.
The same geographical mathematics applies to voting for Obama/democrats/socialists.
Or the greater rate and variety of infections in urban areas.
Maybe this is because the mentally ill find services in cities and go there?? Duh.
It’s so much easier to dispose of bodies out here in the
boonies.

I lived in the city for 42 years, and moved to the country 9 years ago. Country living is far superior.
Look at the 2008 presidential electoral map, all the major cities and megalopolises went for the most liberal candidates. There is a reason. The majority of the people who live there have lost touch with the earth that sustains them. How many have seen a hog butchered or calf born or a hawk catch a squirrel? How many drink milk and never give a thought on how that gallon of milk got to their local store. We are butting heads against a large group of people who has lost touch with God the Creator, with the soil that feeds us and with fellow humans, all the time thinking that it will be humans (man/government) who can fix all the problems of our society. Just one man can, Jesus Christ.
Believe (Romans 10:9,10) then see.
Seems like Sweden conducted a study to better understand their ethnic minorities, possible ‘Asian yutes’. Physical integration or assimilation isn’t enough? That does’nt sound like they are looking at ethnic Swedes but at, perhaps, Muslims or other minorities. Minorities in any culture tend to form conclaves where they can share their culture (I think of China Town in San Francisco) but here the Swedes are saying it ‘wasn’t enough’. They do mention social fragmentation - that sounds more like our fatherless urban minorities but I don’t know what is going on in Sweden. But I wonder. And apparently so do the Swedes.
nonaffective psychotic disorder = victimhood as is taught by community organizers
“I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice.”
