The funny thing about Seattle is the level of intolerant bigots we have here in spite of our reputation for being an open minded, progressive city. On a regular basis there are a group of folks that stand on the street corners of our downtown core waving huge signs about God, Jesus, and the hatred of the aforementioned toward gay people. I'm not really sure why they do it, but they do, and often times these folks lead to a whole mess of hilarity.

Walking home from work (spanging at freeway off-ramps) I managed to wander through their net of vitriol. They're ranting into a megaphone as per usual and then one of them says, "WHAT IS JESUS TO YOU?! JUST A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION?!". I'm sure he went on but I was too distracted by what had popped up in my head because of what he said.

Psychonauts. Yup.

All I could think of was collecting figments in Psychonauts to level up, and how hilarious it would be if all the figments were Jesus on the cross, or Jesus with a sheep or whatever, y'know...the things Jesus does.

What does it say about me, when a douche of epic proportion is issuing forth a torrent of some pretty hateful ideas and remiss in my Seattle-ite duty of getting all righteously indignant all I can think of is Psychonauts?

I just moved to Seattle from California six months ago. As soon as my lease is up I'm moving back.

Also, Psychonauts is amazing.

I feel your pain, I'm waiting on a lease to end so I can go to California as well. That being said, Seattle is actually a pretty cool town, just not quite "there" yet.

Maybe I don't want to move to Seattle...

Also, it says you're a hardcore gamer, Qais.

Seattle has it's bigots, certainly, and pretty much the rest of the state is horribly conservative as well. Aside from alla that, however, it's actually not a bad city to room in.

@Colette Bennett:

That's what I thought until I moved here! Otherwise I loved California (smallish town outside of LA).

I'm sorry, but Seattle and the rest of the northwest is far superior to anywhere in California. Religious zealots are everywhere, and they're far outnumbered by us wacky liberals. That being said, I'm from Tacoma, Seattle's fat, racist cousin.

<deep growly voice>"Seattle police are KHAAAAAAAAMMMYUUUNEEEEESTS!" </deep growly voice>

Besides Pedro's warcry and hatred for Frye apartments and the Seattle Police, its a mellow city. Those religious nutters aren't even from Seattle, but carpool/bus into the city to spread Jesus' message of hate and intolerance.

Assholes are everywhere in every city, but at least the pot is pretty good here.

Hendrix is also buried up here. His grave was actually across the street from an apartment complex I was living in.

But yeah, it's kinda meh here. I wanna go to Portland if I can find work there.
