Review of Indianapolis, Indiana


A cesspool of idiots
Star Rating - 2/9/2018
I have lived in Indianapolis most of my life. I left for college and said I would never come back, but long story, here I am stuck in this cesspool! Anyone who says it is great is lying or one of the people you want to stay away from. The people are the worst! God forbid if you say "hello" to anyone they will look at you like you are a seven eyed monster for even talking to them. They are the rudest people in the world. If you have any intellect, for example, let's say you like to read, you will be alone because most of the people here are functionally illiterate and wouldn't know what a book was. And if they do read, it's fifty shades of gray. If you try to have any sort of intelligent conversation they get the strange, far off, zombie look on their faces. I honestly think they are too stupid to understand politics, culture or any slightly intelligent idea. If you have an alternate view point, you are subversive(my word, they don't know that word). Because of their zombie lives and thoughts any type of intelligence, political thought, philosophical idea(my word, they don't know that word), etc is squashed and you are left a zombie yourself.
It is wildly conservative. If you are a democrat you are the devil. They do exist here and you can talk to them, but once again, the culture leaves these people completely stripped of all hope and it is difficult to even talk to them.
They have to fit in. Everyone has to fit in. We all must be a like. We all must think the same, eat the same, drink lots of alcohol; stand and love the USofA and jesus. We must not complain. We must not dream. We must go to work, come home, watch netflix, eat fatty foods, get drunk, go to bed. We must go to work, come home, watch netlix, eat fatty foods, get drunk go to bed.
Then to top it all of it is terribly crime ridden. We have the highest black infant mortality rate for a city our size. We have the most african americans living in poverty. We have the largest income gap from poor to rich for both white and black people. If you make $10.00/hour you are rich and an apartment costs as much as Chicago. It has become that bad!
Driving here is like driving through the third world. The roads are horribly bad. You basically drive through one big pot hole.
My advice don't move here. Don't do it!

Thanks for your review. My wife and I are looking for an area to replace Columbia South Carolina. I'm originally from Michigan, and my wife is from Germany. We can't stand this ignorant ass place, but don't want to jump from the pot into the fire. I'm a truck driver, and also work for the Army, so I'm applying for jobs with the military in GOOD places to settle and retire. Reviews like yours help a lot. (I should've known a place like where Pence came from can't be any good LOL)
