OK folks here's the form. Please fill it out.

 

Now THAT'S Funny!

All you need is something that someone else doesn't have to be a target of a break- in.

 

People steal stuff out of a homeless person's cadboard box too.

 

 

 

In Salem? You know the cops would be thanking you. My wifes family lived there for years, not a place I miss. Not sure where you live, but theirs was not a nice place to be. Neighbors across the street were fine during the day, it was a big graveyard. At night is when the drug dealers were out there doing their thing though.............

 

No I'm in a farming community called elsinboro right outside of Salem. I don't even have neighbors. And your right, Salem is a shithole buts its way nicer than pennsgrove, Bridgeton, or vineland!!!

Lighten up, people. The comment about valuables in a trailer was offered light-heartedly, as a joke. Of course there could be valuables in a trailer, most importantly the lives in that trailer.

It's been said over and over how thin-skinned we are becoming as a nation, and that's clear in the reactions on both sides of this issue. And before you can say "can you take it as well as give it", I'll offer this.

I have lived in trailers.

I have been homeless.

I spent most of my life overweight and been the butt of jokes for that.

I am short, Italian and now bald and been the butt of jokes for that.

 

Would I make that comment again? Yes. I have nothing against people who live in trailers, they are from all walks of life, as are Tea Partiers, OWSers, liberals, conservatives, priests, rabbis, ministers, gunners, anti-gunners, people who live in the suburbs, the city, the country. And there are stereotypes for all of them and jokes made about all of them. If we continually take umbrage to every comment and joke this society would collapse; just look at what political correctness has already done to this world.

 

I apologize if my comment offended anyone, it was not meant to be vicious just a (possibly lame) attempt at humor. And yes, I would say it again.

Pennsgrove isn't bad back behind Lapps Amish market. But everything west of 130 I would live. My wife claims the area by the river is nice but I don't see it. Salem is rough and so is Bridgetown. Now the trailer park on hook road isn't the place to live because the welfare office houses sex offenders in that hotel right there because it's not near a school. The trailer park is loaded with em also.

How sensitive of you....

 

You don't need to appologize. Others need to toughen-up.

^^^^^^ This !!!

We as a society have become tooo sensitive. People need to toughen up. Not everyone gets a trophey, not everyone can drive a certain car, not everyone can afford 2 guns a month. Who cares. Be happy with what you have.

People in trailers are also less likely to have complex alarm systems, or myriad hiding places. Sounds like they thought the trailer was a softer touch. Sounds like they were right.

 

Assuming the income/assets of folks that live in a trailer is sort of silly...just like most assumptions. It read to me like aspersions were cast as if to mock the victims a bit and when NASCAR shook his tiny fist y'all got high and mighty defensive.

 

*shrugs*

 

 

 

 

You miss the point. The point is not that people in trailers are low life scum. The point is that they probably don't have a lot of stuff worth stealing. The point is that people in a big facncy houses that drive fancy cars would have a higher probability of having more valuable stuff to steal. Maybe your friend has lots of money and chooses to live in a trailer. Rich people that choose to live in trailers exhibit a certain frugalness and probably don't have a lot of valuables. If people live in a trailer then material possession are probably not high on their priority list. Hence, they are not good targets for robbers. One would assume.

Wow, if Salem is nicer than those places I have to wonder what the heck has happened down there.

 

In Salem you worked for Dupont, the Nuke Plant, or farmed. Not much else but that. Mannington Mills had a decent crew, don't know if they even exist anymore.

 

I used to get the "There's that college boy and his new car" comment and looks all the time down there. Hey, I had a job and all my teeth, don't be hatin' on me.

 

Most parents were proud when their daughters GRADUATED High School and didn't have children yet! They actually had day-care programs in many schools down there, sad.

Lets face it, almost everywhere in south jersey has turned to shit. And yes pennsgrove is definitely worse than salem. Theres WAY more minorities there and that always brings trouble, look at what has happened to bridgeton and vineland! Yes the Mill is still here, I actually work there. Lets face it people, NJ SUCKS no matter where you live that why I bought a nice slice of property in NY to get away and often go to WV. And even pennsville is crap anymore. Almost every kid there has a kid and thinks its cool or their on serious drugs! SAD!!!!

My wifes family lived right next door to Manington Mills. I think there were three houses or so along there. Then they bought a house in Salem, just down the street, for $5000 and renovated enough to get a CO. Yeah, $5K for a house, you know you ain't gonna have a good neighborhood!

 

I go down there to shoot at M&M and Cedar Creek from time to time.
