1. Trailer Parks Are Full Of Smokers

5. Could it be that the delivery men/meter readers/mailmen are non-smokers?

14. Trailer parks are also full of decent, hardworking human beings
who voted for Clinton. I used to be one of them and these threads are depressing and disappointing from a community who considers themselves humanitarians.

17. Amen.
We lived in a trailer park during my senior year in high school, after living in the upscale subdivision. Funny. I didn't change much ... but you sure wouldn't think so from the reaction. I'm grateful that school was a good "learning experience." :evilgrin:

4. I agree
I used to smoke cigarettes. I wasn't a redneck. I only lived in a trailer for a short while while I was in college trying to make ends meet.

:shrug:

Not all wealthy people live in mansions, play golf and vote Republican.

That doesn't stop jokes about wealthy folks, nor should it.

6. Don't be rumbling
about trailers and mobile homes. They are in numbers that could throw any election on any given day! Today that is about all that 50 million young people just starting out can afford, and many older ones are all ready there because of less upkeep. There are also several million in RVs (trailers) at home in parks or on the road. There are even a few thousand living in FEMA trailers that are not really happy campers, and they might be another block of voters that have changed their ideas of this, so promising, administration!

11. Thank you...
I started my adult life, and 10 years in the military living in a 50'x 10' trailer for $50.00 a month, in a park outside El Paso texas, because a pvt in the military, I could not get on post housing... I was married with a child, and it was all I could afford. The trailer had to tip to the back left so that the drains would work... glad I was finally able to get out of there.

But it is sometimes all that some can afford... and with the job market like it is, perhaps many more people will have to move to trailer parks.

15. Actually, PC is 3rd. Pontificating against political correctness runs 2nd
Who's more obnoxious, someone who's so polite that they get accused of being PC, or someone who's constantly out spouting about how whiny/superficial/fascistic political correctness is?
