Kentucky: A National Joke

It's well known to those who have actually lived outside of the Bluegrass State that many people have derision towards Kentuckians. This is probably due more to the way that Kentuckians as a large part act when they visit other states or act in a stupid and foolish manner.

Seems to be problem that a lot of people from other states think lowly of Kentuckians. Maybe its because as a whole Kentuckians are uneducated or have been miseducated for decades and act in a juvenile and stupid manner. Kentuckians could probably change that perception of being a bunch of dolts but it seems that instead being of the lowest common denominator they choose to be backwoods yokels and inbred acting fools.

Too bad they are too stupid to see anything past the border of their wretched state and in many cases most of them haven't been outside of their own pig sty of a state. Its always humorous to me that Kentuckians are good about popping off at the mouth about other states when most of them haven't ever spent any time outside of KENTUCKY. Why is that? Are they too stupid to put some gas in their clunker and actually visit other states. Or are they too stupid to actually expand their horizons outside of their little provincial towns and communities where misogyny, family inbreeding, and cultural stupidity has been the norm for generations.

This is going to piss off a lot of idiots but seriously why are Kentuckians as a whole so mind blowing stupid? So stupid that they've ranked in the bottom 5 states in nearly every major socioeconomic category not just for a few years but decades.

Currently Kentucky is 47th in state median income, 46th in per capita income, 47th in percentage of college degrees awarded, near the bottom in quality of education, number one in child abuse deaths per 100,000, etc.

If you want your state not to be considered the outhouse of the United States, you might want to improve your education system beyond the third world system that it currently exhibits. Also get half your population off government welfare and back in the workforce.

Kentucky currently gets $1.51 for every dollar that it pays in taxes to the federal government. On top of state income rates of 5.8 and 6.0 percent on most taxpayers. Add in the extra 1 to 2 percent in taxes and you've still got a financially mismanaged state. Not to mention the Kentucky Retirement System is fundamentally bankrupt and broken after years of mismanagement. In that sense Kentucky ranks right along with Illinois and California for having pension problems.

One would think that since Kentucky borders the Midwest at the upper reaches of the American South, it would start to look upward to states that do things a lot better than it does and emulate those states in job creation, education, incomes, etc. Instead Kentucky is still fighting the Civil War 150 years after it ended. Kentucky follows the rancid traditions of the American South and its generations of racist behavior, hypocrisy, lack of education, and Third World conditions.

Want to get rid of the stereotypes of Kentucky being a bunch of toothless, backwards, stupid yokels. Then start acting like you've got some sense. But to read these posts is laughable because the responses obviously come from people who didn't do well in school and not in one instance have I seen anyone that actually stated facts and figures to make their point in rebuttal.

Are Kentuckians too stupid and lazy to actually defend their state with facts and figures that actually make sense in a non convoluted manner? Or are they content with their own stupidity, poverty, cultural ignorance. Its too bad because Kentucky is a beautiful state once you remove the trash and morons from that state. Probably one of the top five states when it comes to natural beauty but one of the bottom five in things that really matter like quality jobs, income, education, quality of life, etc.

If you want to be thought of a bit better, buy some books and educate yourselves so you don't have generations of Americans outside of your state think that you're a bunch of backwoods yokels. Plus teach your kids right from wrong instead of spending so much time following your hallowed basketball programs which are your only claims to fame. Those are the only things that actually make your state look good and its quite laughable your claim to fame is basketball, bourbon, and horses after 223 years of being a state.

Kentucky and Craigslist Posters (Lack of Intelligent Life in Kentucky)

After having two of you Kentucky boys talk about gay stuff and sending me your emails, I always suspected that most of you girly boys were repressed homosexuals who hide it well until you open your mouth. Unlike you bunch of backwoods morons, I've bothered to educate myself over the years so I'm not stuck in some pitiful job that should be done by a teenager.

Its strange how in Louisville and the surrounding area how much you boys talk about gay stuff and how much it preoccupies your minds. Never seen anywhere in the USA that people actually keep bringing up the gay thing and how many of you perverts keep talking about it. Its kind of like you keep talking about something you hate so much, yet you homosexuals are in the closet about it until you decide to show your true colors by talking about it over and over. Like you have hidden desires to be a homosexual. Too bad you perverts are mentally ill to the point that you are fascinated by the lifestyle all the while supposedly condemning it. Maybe you all need to actually get out of the river valley and find some women who don't look like your cousin or weigh 350 lbs.

As much as you talk about gay stuff and inbreeding, I strongly suspect that most of you inbreeds are one or the both. Your mom and dad were brother and sister or you used to have some sort of twisted and insane family f--kfest where you all got naked with each other.

In any case, you're mentally ill and you need to check into that fine Central State facility in East Louisville to get your help. Maybe someone in your family will even get a mental inquest that way nice people in white coats will show up at your home, slum apartment, or hovel and help with your serious mental issues. Must have been a lot toxic waste and chemicals floating down the Ohio River over the years also to create tens of thousands of you mental misfits in Louisville over the years.

I've been all over the country traveling and living in the past and I've never seen anywhere outside of a few Southern states that has so many chronically stupid and mental rejects than Louisville, Kentucky. Not just on Craigslist but in real life as well. Too stupid to get a decent job, too stupid to move out of their mommys basement, too stupid to have a marriage or decent relationship, and generally too stupid to even comment on this board without sounding like some 80 IQ retard from the backwoods.

Its a shame that your dad or uncle didn't pull out before impregnating your mom or his sister or cousin. Even Ricky boy had his only in for 10 seconds. At least it wasn't his sister or in the case of a few in Louisville, I suspect that their sperm was donated from a bar room wall where it was implanted their mom via in vitro fertilization.

Having lived elsewhere in the 48 states not counting Alaska and Hawaii, I would venture to say that this area is one of the most backwards and backwoods areas of the US. No culture other than a hillbilly meth mouth white trash infested culture. People with no class, no teeth, little education, and even less common sense. Truly the armpit of America like most of the rest of the Southern states. Something to be proud of if your role model is Hank Hill. Not so much if you want a decent life and education and being something instead of a stool which is so common in Louisville. Keep on flaming away boys and girly men, we know you're a little light in the loafers so its ok now since the new society has deemed it as legitimate. You're just showing us your true colors every time you open your mouth or type it out that have an IQ 20 to 30 points below the US average.

Kentucky: The Freeloader State

Kentucky: The Freeloader State (No Work Boots Stolen In Kentucky)

Here's some more facts and truth about Kentucky. One being that Kentucky gets 1.51 for every dollar that it pays in taxes via the federal government. So for every dollar that ends up DC paid by the taxpayers of the this country, the Kentucky welfare state gets 1.51 back.

Its Kentucky being the worst run state.

50th. Kentucky

Debt per Capita: $8,899 (37th)

Unemployment Rate: 10% (38th)

Home Price Change ('06 -- '09): 6.1% (24th)

Median Household Income: $40,072 (47th)

Although Kentucky doesn't place 50th in any one category, its overall poor scores secures its place as the worst-run state on our list. It is 43rd in GDP per capita, 47th in median household income, 47th in citizens with high school diplomas, and, at 18.6%, is 48th for percentage of the population below the poverty line. Kentucky also has an extremely weak S&P rating of AA-, supporting our assessment that it is the worst-run state in the country.

Kentucky: The Third World State(Facts Do Matter)

Its obvious that another stupid idiot from Kentucky had to make a bunch of stupid and uneducated comments about how other states such as Indiana and Ohio are at the bottom of the trough like the Great Trailer Park state South of the Ohio River. That illustrious shithole called Kentucky which does rank the in the bottom 5 or 6 states in nearly every category.

See Bubba, there's a thing called the Internet and if you do some research or looking up info including these nasty facts from the federal and state governments, you might end up learning something.

One source I'll mention is called Wikipedia and here's the link of US States by Income rankings.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_income

Notice that when it comes to median household income which means that half the population makes more and half makes less, Indiana and Ohio both beat Kentucky by 10 to 15 places.

Indiana ranks 31st at $46,438 while Ohio ranks 35th at $45,749.

Kentucky ranks 47th at $41,141 and is only followed by Arkansas, West Virginia, and Mississippi.

Guess that blows holes in your stupid argument. Typical stupid jackass from Kentucky that you are.

Not only that but even at that ranking the average Kentucky family makes 5,297 dollars less than your average Hoosier family. Even more interesting is that at the current tax rates a Kentucky family when adding state income taxes, local income taxes, etc ends up paying nearly 7 to 8 percent of their income to the state. Whereas the average Hoosier family pays approximately 5 percent in state and local taxes even in a large city like Indianapolis. Guess that in Kentucky you like paying an extra 1000 dollars in taxes to live in a state that is economically shot. Suck it up buttercup going to be more facts.

Next point that should be that in per capita income (income per person) Ohio ranks 29th at 26,046 while Indiana ranks 38th at 24,635.

Yet the stupidity laced Commonwealth of Kentucky ranks even lower at 46th at 23,462 only followed to the bottom by West Virginia, Idaho, Arkansas, and Mississippi.

Guess that blows holes in your mentally challenged argument about Indiana and Ohio being the bottom 5 states. Kentucky makes it in both categories being a bottom five state.

Here's another couple nice articles about Kentucky being one of the worst states for animal abuse and letting scumbags get by with such abuse.

http://goinglikesixty.com/2010/12/is-it-the-way-we-treat-horses-what-makes-kentucky-the-best-place-to-abuse-animals/

http://aldf.org/press-room/press-releases/annual-study-names-2013s-top-five-states-to-be-an-animal-abuser/

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/35202253/ns/health-pet_health/t/worst-states-be-animal-abuse-laws-lax/

Kentucky ranks dead last in animal abuse. Dead last like so many other categories.

Indiana was 9th out of the 50 states. Kentucky was dead last at 50 out of 50. Ohio was quite a bit better than Kentucky too at 26th.

Here's a nice WDRB piece about Kentucky being number one in the child abuse death rate in 2012.

http://www.wdrb.com/story/11357339/ky-ranks-no-1-in-child-abuse-death-rate

Here's another from 2009

http://www.wave3.com/story/11356703/kentucky-leads-nation-in-child-abuse-neglect-death-rates

Here's another piece on education and how Kentucky is 42nd in education. Guess where Indiana ranks.............4th................Ohio...............29th. Again proving that stupidity is a Kentucky value to be consistently in the bottom of the barrel.

http://www.alec.org/publications/report-card-on-american-education/

http://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-the-best-schools/5335/

Not that Ohio and Indiana are 16th and 22nd in education in the Wallet Hub article yet Kentucky is 41st.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_educational_attainment

Notice that Kentucky ranks 47th in High School graduation rates, Kentucky ranks 47th in Bachelor degrees, etc.

All the while Indiana ranks 29th in High School graduation rates and 43rd in Bachelor degrees.

Ohio ranks 25th and 38th respectively in those categories.

According to the US Census Bureau their latest numbers show that the ten poorest states are by poverty rate

Mississippi 22.6 %

New Mexico 21.5 %

Louisiana 20.4 %

Arkansas 19.5 %

Georgia 19.1 %

Kentucky 19.1 % NO SURPRISE THERE

Alabama 19.0 %

Arizona 19.0 %

South Carolina 18.9 %

District of Columbia 18.7 %

Kentucky was also ranked dead last when it comes to government and government management of state affairs. Ranking dead last. Here is another article.

http://www.courierpress.com/gleaner/columnists/chuck-stinnett/dead-last

Kentucky didn't rank last in any single category although our economic and educational shortfalls were evident. The state ranked 47th in median household income, 47th in high school graduation rate and 48th in percentage of the population below the poverty rate.

Stay Classy Kentucky

Let's burn a few more couches and set fires like a bunch of backwoods hicks. Stay classy Kentucky! This is in reference to the morons in 2012 that were burning couches in the streets of Lexington after the big University of Kentucky win in the Final Four of college basketball. One of the luminaries had to comment regarding my criticism of such behavior. This is my response to his stupidity.

Wow, you live in Lexington. You should be so proud. We really don't care that you attended college or not. The real question is "Did you graduate?" or are you just another idiot from Kentucky popping his mouth off. You know, what's funny about you boys from Kentucky is that the vast majority of your fans can't even spell worth a damn. Obviously, you spent too much time playing basketball, slopping the hogs, or saying that you didn't need any of that book learning. By the way, I lived in Kentucky for four years and I have to say that of anyplace I ever lived including Indiana, Kentucky had some of the dumbest people I've ever met and I lived in rural Indiana for many years prior to that. Even the city people in Louisville are mentally retarded. Kentuckians don't like the term retarded now as evidenced by the state trying to remove the word from the grammar in their publications. True story. Wonder why? Because most of the rest of the country even outside of Indiana or any neighboring state thinks you're populated by a bunch of dumbasses.

Having lived in Kentucky, I can vouch for the fact that your fan base generally acts irrational and mentally challenged. I went to Nashville several times for my job in Louisville and it was amazing when you pulled into some little gas station or truck plaza along I 65. Maybe one or two people you would encounter acted as if they had some sense. The rest stood around in slack jawed stupor and generally not making a whole lot of sense. By the way, I've been to almost every county in the state of Kentucky or Commonwealth if you like. My interactions weren't exactly the same everywhere but it seems that your fellow men in the Commonwealth and women generally act very unintelligent and generally in a stupid way. It reminds me of going to Columbia, KY which is about 1 hour from the TN border. Not knowing the state very well at the time, I asked a couple of the locals how far it is to Tennessee. Their response was to say it took 4 hours. So I flipped out a map that I found and looked a little closer and it was only like 40 miles to the TN border and maybe a couple hours to Nashville TN according to driving 65 mph and about 130 or so miles. Took the next road south of town and made into Eastern TN in about an hour.

If I went to Nashville via the Louie Nunn Parkway and I 65 it would have been 130 miles and 2 hours travel time. See what I mean? The average Kentuckian outside of the educated class of people who are professionals and have to work in a professional setting are mostly morons. You're dealing with people who can barely read and write much less think of complex problems and come up with a solution. Its about like when I lived in Louisville and seen so many cars that were in such bad shape because the owners either wrecked them or didn't know anything about preventative maintenance. Broken taillights, broken headlights, stuff that didn't work, junked out cars running the roads, etc. The police even take a blind eye to that in Louisville. They don't bother to enforce anything when it comes to traffic laws or even vehicle issues.

Granted, that can happen anywhere but it seems to be quite prevalent in KY. By the way, I've been to Lessington better known as Lexington. Other than the university and a few major businesses like Lexmark who by the way make crappy printers, there isn't all that much there. Maybe a population of 260,000 people and probably a good percentage of that is students at UK which doesn't even rank in the top 100 in a vast majority of college disciplines.

U of L is no better as it ranks 164th in US News College Reports that come out every year. In fact, Azuza Pacific University ranks as high as U of L. Despite the fact that U of L has one of the largest financial endowments in the entire country. My mother in law works at U of L and even she is amazed at how bad the students there are and the school as well. My wife actually grew up most of her life in Florence and then Louisville. Guess what, she's from Kentucky and thinks that a lot of the people in Louisville and around there aren't particularly very bright and I've heard it said by her on a multitude of occasions. That's why she wanted to move to Indiana too and actually have a better quality of life.

People in most every state have farms, factories, mining, etc unless there are no resources available. The comical thing is that a factory worker in Indiana is generally someone who can function in mainstream society and actually act as if they have common sense. See, I worked in a factory full time while pursuing my college degree in business. These people are just salt of the earth type people who are trying to get by and raise their family. The difference between them and your average worker in Kentucky is that they're bred to be stupid as they are in the Bluegrass. If you tried to pay some factory worker in Indiana 9 or 10 bucks an hour, they would laugh at you. In Kentucky, that's supposed to be the norm because most of your backwoods yokel people think its normal to work for the man and get nothing in return. Its the way your Southern hillbilly state has been operated since the Civil War and before. It reminds me of something a Southern redneck from NC told me years ago about small towns in the South being dumps. Its because we don't have much industry and you can't tell other what to do with their money. Didn't make a lot of sense right off until I found out the guy lived in the back of his car about 2 years while living in Western NC. Its that mentality that exists in KY and much of the south that is why that region isn't progressive and won't have anything similar to the Northern States.

There's a reason why a lot of Hoosier as you would call them don't particularly care for Kentucky and especially Kentucky basketball. Under Bobby Knight, he graduated most of his players and never was accused or even brought up on charges of cheating. Its well known that Adolph Rupp paid his players back in the 1940s through 1972 when he had to retire. Same happened under Joe B. Hall and then Eddie Sutton took over and got busted for cheating in 1989 when his assistant Dwayne Casey sent a envelope to a recruit with 1000 bucks in it until it was broken open and the people at Emery Worldwide found the money. That brought about an NCAA investigation into recruiting practices at UK. Including one year of no live TV and two years of probation. This has happened several times at UK. What happened after the entire probation, UK started up getting their players nice vehicles, money, and all the rest again. A friend of my uncle who is from Lexington told all about Jamal Mashburn getting a luxury BMW to drive around Lexington back in 1991 and 1992. Nice at a time when he didn't have that kind of money and his mom was on public assistance back in New York. Who got the vehicle. Same happened many times during the 1990s. Then to have football coach Hal Mumme come around and get their football program on probation along with Clyde Bassett. Now you have Calipari whose associates at UMass and Memphis both landed those programs on probation and led to the forfeiture of games and records.

It was even reported in the Chicago Sun Times that Anthony Davis' father wanted 200k for his son to play at any of three different schools. Then he chose UK over the others. Wonder why? Because Kentucky kicked in the money all over again. That entire story was brought up elsewhere on this site. Of course, UK had to squelch the story because it would mean another investigation into recruiting practices. Just sit back and watch the cheaters at UK get busted again. Its a matter of time before they get caught again. After all, its Kentucky where the vast majority of politicians are as crooked as the day is long and where the UK program has cheated for about 70 years including paying players and the 1951 point shaving scandal as well.

By the way, at one time my dad was a worker in a facility in Louisville and they would hire college athletes from U of L. My dad regularly told stories about how the players wouldn't do anything and sometimes even get caught sleeping on the job. Seems like it was a common occurrence but people turned their head as usual in Kentucky. By the way, it might be added that most of those guys barely got their degree because even he saw that most of them were dumber than a box of rocks. There's no way they didn't get special help from the U of L authorities and coaching at that time.

That's why Indiana puts out quality people and students ahead of basketball. In Kentucky, the only thing you have to take pride in is basketball and that really is all. There's nothing else that your state really produces other than coal that can't be produced elsewhere. Your economy in most of Kentucky is largely in shambles because its 20 years behind the rest of the country. Not to mention the fact is that probably one out of every five or six Kentuckians get some sort of government assistance. In fact, for generations its easier to get a crazy persons check in Kentucky than anywhere else. Just like the percentage of Kentuckians on government assistance is higher than most states and I guarantee you its much higher than Indiana.

Add in the fact that your state is number one in child abuse deaths, number one in elderly abuse, and number one in animal abuse cases. That speaks volumes of what a screwed up society that Kentucky truly is. Every week or so you'll find out about someone around Louisville and they either leave their kids in a bad situation and generally that news hits two to three times a week now. Same goes with animal abusers. Not saying it doesn't happen in Indiana but it seems to happen a whole lot more in Kentucky.

Something else funny I noticed is that when the Colts won the Super Bowl in 2007, there were no riots or major disturbances or outbreaks in Indiana. I even went to Google and looked it up. But in Lexington (Lessington) Kentucky there were 40 fires on Saturday March 31, 2012 and 60 fires on April 2nd, 2012. According to Kentucky Revised Statutes, more than 5 people in a group destroying or vandalizing property is called a riot. To incite someone else to participate in such an affair which was evident is inciting a riot and its a felony to participate or incite a riot. Then to hear the Lexington Police say there was no riot was just another case of damage control. They had to cover their arses because the entire country saw what transpired on the TV sets as well as Youtube. Where the hilljack students at UK filmed their own criminality and stupidity and then put it all over Youtube with pride. Just spend some time looking up Lexington riots and there's plenty of couches burned and some within 5 to 10 feet of someone else's vehicles. That's so classy of you UK fans. Classy that you're going to burn a couch and then catch someone's ride on fire. Then again, it shows the mentality that your people have.

Kentucky and Bottom Feeders(Louisville and Associated Communities)

Kentucky (Louisville and Environs)

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.

F---ed up Louisville-Comment To A Poster

The problem resides in the fact that a great deal of people inside of Louisville itself that being Jefferson County are truly some of the most f---ed up people I've ever met in my entire life. That includes working in factories, working in food services when I was a teenage, and shitty retail jobs too. My current career is business and even there in Louisville there a lot of mental midgets and fucked up rednecks that wear suits.

Sir, you are correct about Louisville CL being a cesspool but its not just CL, its the whole goddamned city that is the problem not just CL. When you've got a bunch of people that could barely graduate out of the shitty schools that make up the JCPS you have a lot of mentally fucked up people. Not to mention all of the polluted water that comes down the Ohio River from Indiana, Ohio, Eastern KY, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Remember that people in Louisville as well as the cities of the southern Indiana side of the river drink that shit. Yes, it very well ends up being filtered out for contaminants but don't tell me that all of it is removed.

Here's the biggest problem and it involves degrees of separation between people in Louisville. Pretty much 75 percent of people from Louisville are from Kentucky or Southern Indiana just across the river. That means there is a lot of pretty close relations if you understand my drift. Kind of like a big f--kfest of hilljacks, morons, and inbreeds. These people really don't get away from this area and live much of anywhere else or marry outside of their region. Between that fact and the fact you're dealing with inbreeding, whiskey, and plain stupidity explains why you have a wide variety of stupid people not just on CL but in the Louisville metro area.

If you want to look this up, you can do it, but for the last several years the Louisville Jefferson County Public schools have been near the bottom 20 to 25 percent of all school systems in the state of Kentucky. This despite being one of the best funded school systems in Kentucky due to Louisville having a higher average income than most areas in the state. In 2009, JCPS was 118th out of 154 school systems in Kentucky which was at the bottom 25 percent. In 2012, JCPS was 126th out 154 school systems in Kentucky. Get my drift. When your schools are consistently that bad and probably have been that bad for generations you're going to have a lot of stupid people. Not to mention this happens in a state that consistently ranks in the 40s out of the 50 states in education and has for generations. A state that has ranked 44th or worse in state income for the last 75 years. Not just for a few years but every year since 1939 that Kentucky has ranked near the bottom 6 states in income since before World War II.

Frankly, I'm glad to have moved out of Louisville to someplace a couple hours away a few years ago. I would never return there for any amount of money because I don't want to live around a bunch of dirty rednecks and societal leeches. Where I currently live isn't heaven but its definitely better than a bunch of mouth breathing uneducated asshats that barely graduated high school.

Louisville and the Dump Known as Dixie Highway

The whole area of Dixie Highway in Louisville, Kentucky is turning into a total cesspool. At one time it used to be a nice area back years ago especially before the Metro Louisville merger of 2003. Since then, its went from bad to worse to worse still with the massive amount of crime and decay. 

It isn't going to get any better until they clean up the area and that would require getting rid of a whole lot of trash. The apartments in that area are mostly dumpy anyway and you can say they don't have much for decent retail in that area with the exception of a few stores in that area.

As far as Marshall's, you would never catch me even going to shop there to start with. Crappy looking clothes and products, low end junk that isn't much different than lousy Wal Mart clothes. For some reason though, people do shop there because either they don't know better or don't have any money to go anywhere else.

Not sure what the problem is in Louisville with people being able to use the toilet but that city has the nastiest bathrooms overall of anyplace I've ever lived and been and I've been to most of the 50 states and Canada. Nasty people really.

Comment on Kentucky

Kentuckians are as a rule the stupidest people in America. Not all but a larger percentage of anyplace I've ever been. Just stupid people.Just living in Louisville will drop your IQ points about 10 places dealing with all of the knuckle dragging, mouth breathing losers that live there. That's just Louisville in itself which is supposedly the shining jewel in the crown of Kentucky along with Lexington.

Its obvious that the gene pool in Kentucky has been polluted by generations of inbreeds and other assorted useless idiots and those who truly should be aborted. If its not the same racial bullcrap every day its some other moron talking about their herpes infested partners in Middletown or some other redneck area of Louisville. I'm for one glad that I moved out of state from Louisville and I suspect that most people that move away from Louisville share the same ideas. Toothless, uneducated, totally ignorant people.

There's some smart people in Louisville in the business community, doctors, lawyers, etc because most of the rest is a bunch of hillbilly trash that just happens to know how to wear a suit. Give them 5 minutes and you'll realize their out of place and lack intelligence or will end up saying something immensely stupid. Having been involved in professional and other pursuits in Louisville, it always amazed me the sheer amount of Bubba types in suits in Louisville or even at your local businesses.

Its obvious as someone who has lived in other states and been to most of the rest of the 50 states, that Louisville like most of its Southern neighbors is nothing but a white trash hillbilly city. Just dressed up nice and with that so genteel Southern culture on the skids. The reality is that its just a glamorized trailer park with a few really nice areas. Just that the houses are made of wood or brick or stone, but the trailer park mentality is alive and well in about 60 percent of Louisville

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.

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.
