Comment on Kentucky One

>What is it about you people from Kentucky? Its funny to read the comments on here about Shepherdsville because having lived real close to the Bullitt County line the stories are quite true because I've known a few decent people that realize what a dump Bullitt County in general is. First you can start with the drug issues with all the pill heads, meth heads, pot heads, etc. You can tell that lot of these people are idiots and pretty much a drain on society. Shepherdsville is a joke of a city or town whatever you would like to call it. From the crappy run down buildings to trash on the streets, etc, it looks like a pig sty. Not that Louisville is any better because for a major city its a seriously run down s##thole in a lot of places. Dixie Highway is a joke of an area and West End, Newburg, Buechel, South Louisville, Fairdale, Shively, etc is pretty much all a dump. You only find better areas to the eastern side of the city at least past Breckenridge Lane. Hikes Lane and Buechel used to be a nice middle class area but its a run down dump now. Breckenridge Lane is starting to look like a Third World country especially near Hikes Point. What is it with these apartment owners letting every piece of trash run over everything and not picking up the premises. The last nice areas of Louisville are the outer part of the Highlands, St. Matthews, Hurstbourne, Middletown, Anchorage, Stony Brook, Prospect, Graymoor Devondale, etc. Those areas and those in between are still pretty nice but even compared to the outer suburbs of say Northside Indianapolis or Bellemeade in Nashville, they are losing their luster. Louisville at one time used to be a pretty nice city and even with the West End it used to be pretty decent. At least until they let the apes take over and run down the quality of life. West Louisville used to be a nice area until the degenerates from the Central City squatters camp moved into that area in the 1960s. Then it went directly south. Now they've pretty much ran it into the ground and now they've moved into the South Dixie area causing problems. Taylor Blvd and that whole area is another dump of a place and even within earshot of the Downs, its a hole. The only real nice areas west of I 65 are parts of PRP, Waverly Hills, Southern Parkway, Auburndale, etc. Most of the rest went to the dogs. But here's another thing that I noticed in Kentucky and Louisville and that's the mass amount of uneducated and chronically stupid individuals compared to most other places in the Midwest and upper South. No wonder Kentucky is at the bottom in so many categories because the educational system in Kentucky is of low quality and its apparent in the educational status and common sense of so many.

Kentucky has been the 44th ranked state or lower in income since 1939

Kentucky is 47th in the percentage of those with a college degree

Kentucky is among the bottom five states in percentage of smokers, obesity, drug use, and various other factors

Kentucky is among one of the five most corrupt states when it comes to corruption in state and local governments

Kentucky was recently announced as being the worst run state in the entire Union

Kentucky is among the bottom states in achievement in education

The Jefferson County Public Schools ranked 118th out of 154 Kentucky School Districts by the US Department of Education

Kentucky has no top universities in science and technology out of the top 100 schools that offer programs in those fields

Kentucky ranks first among the states in cases of child abuse

Kentucky among the bottom five in spending for dependents who have been abused

Kentucky consistently ranks in the bottom five when it comes to educational achievement including basic education

Kentucky ranks among the worst states when it comes to deaths from smoking

Kentucky ranks among the worst states when it comes to suicides

Sorry folks but I've lived in other states before moving to Kentucky and with the exception of a few places most of it leaves a lot to be desired. You can tell by talking to the average person about world events, the weather, or something not involving sports. With some exceptions of better educated people, its hard to get a good conversation going unless someone brings up basketball. No wonder the state is in the stone ages when it comes to other things. Maybe its such a mess because the people have no common sense for the most part.
