Reply to Is the census data for Hazelton on Wikipedia correct? It seems unbelievable. by MonCapitan90
Yeah, classic white flight. The town even passed laws to try to force the mostly Dominican immigrants out. It is a bit of an extreme example. But also the population had been declining from 1950 to 2000. It was a coal town, and well the coal industry hasn't exactly been thriving. Immigrants tend to congregate locally. Boston didn't get full of Irish immigrants or Amish country full of Amish by random.

Yeah, it's definitely accurate.
Probably going to drop even further as the last elderly white homeowners left hanging on there die off.

Yes as long as the ID is valid. I will say that you might be scrutinized more heavily though.

Accurate. They had a huge influx of Hispanic immigrants. White people went to the suburbs.

As for the northeast, I live outside Jim Thorpe which is usually a go-to for people asking this question in eastern PA.
I like it here but I'm not sure OP would - kinda touristy.

Yeah, my college roommate was a wrestler from Benton.
I'm not sure OP's ready for Benton, lol.

I recommend State College also. Lived there for 13 years and I loved it.

A town that seems like a good place for a family is Wellsboro. Surrounded by mountains and PA grand canyon. Not a lot of jobs, and fairly isolated though

Closest "town" to Ricketts Glen is Benton. Not at all a mountain town. More of a farming/hunting/high school wrestling town

Name one other religion that uses its money and “power” to influence legislation, back candidates and inject itself into so many aspects of our lives and government. I’ll wait.

> All vaccinations come with risks.
This is not a meaningful statement.
No one is suggesting that young males not get a regular regimen of childhood vaccinations. Every male in America has gotten their CDC-recommended regimen of vaccinations, and all states require this to enter primary school.

You are only suggesting that young males not get this vaccine. You are only saying "vaccines have risks!" (that we're not invoking for other vaccines) and that I should "read up more on the subject," that's why I'm saying your angle here is obvious bullshit. If you had a real reason why young people (especially males) should not get it, you'd just post it.
There is zero reason for anyone, including young males, to not get the Covid vaccine. It is not perfect but the benefits outweigh the risks, just like any vaccine.

If you stay at my place and I get a tax rebate, you’re still staying at my place.

Sure I understand some people are less / under experienced. But I also don't think keeping hunters from using semi-auto or pistols solves anything.

Then you fully understand that a terrifying number of hunters should 5 bullets a year total and have 0 firearm skills

All vaccinations come with risks. Health authorities recognize this. The tradeoff for young people, in particular males, is questionable. Read up more on the subject. The "everyone should" stance isn't helpful and counterproductive. As with many things, there's nuance. To ignore that erodes public confidence of health authorities.

A question from a conservative christian about a drop in the white population somewhere. Yeah, this isn't sketchy as fuck or anything.
