Oklahoma is a shitty state full of shitty people. Individually they can be kind and considerate but once you get more than 5 together at a time the tone shifts to narrow minded bigotry without any care for other people. Most Republicans are like that but it is especially bad in Oklahoma. You reap what you sow, as they say.
Great insight. We do live in a Just World, where only bad things happen to bad people who deserve it. Additionally everyone living in the arbitrary boundary that the US recognizes as Oklahoma is a homogenous group who are dumber then you, and less empathetic then you.
Actually given your dismissive tone, you probably have less empathy then a resident of Oklahoma, and given the overall ignorance in your post I'm not sure you about your relative intelligence either.
You're welcome to disagree with me if you like but I lived there for 20 years and that was my experience. Their empathy doesn't extend to anyone outside their immediate social circle and that's a shitty way to live. If noticing that makes me a shitty person then I guess their ways rubbed off on me.
The tribute to oil in front of the state capitol was a nice touch to the article.
