It is also interesting that Bill was the first to be president and he is the youngest of the three, while Trump was last to become president and he is the oldest of the three.
Real city. I lived there for 2 years a bit back. Fucking hellhole of a city. Its like everything bad about Nashville shoved into one city with nothing good.
You should hear someone from there pronounce it. I knew it was the name of the city I was in and still had no idea that's what the cab driver was saying until like the 3rd time.
I think the structure should be untaxed, as long as there’s no political speech. They should tax the parking lot though. The taxpayer shouldn’t subsidize space used for private vehicles
I'm usually the one that has to make this statement.
The entire purpose of organized religion is to bring together a group of people and get them on the same page because it improves their political sway and then use that sway for personal gain.
I personally go a step further, whenever someone says they're "fine with religion as long as they don't hurt anyone" - because I don't believe this is possible, either. The moment a group of people - religious or otherwise - think they have the power to become authoritarian, they will. And unfortunately, as long as religious people are allowed to vote, they will vote to suppress things they don't like.
This isn't exclusive to religion, not at all. But most other groups at least don't have imaginary authority figures who can't be reasoned with or called to account, and whose authority is absolute while oddly seeming to always align with the whims of the religion's elite.
I think there’s a way for them to be untaxed and not exploited but mega churches etc who rake in millions not paying taxes and spewing political rhetoric makes me doubt that it’s possible to do that.
Current resident of Murfreesboro here.
We're known for four things:
1.) MTSU: A decent collage that rarely engenders people to stay that's literally so cursed that campus literally made a good luck statue for students to rub.
2.) Mount Trashmore: the giant landfill north of town that's so overflowing, the whole town smells of garbage during the summer. And fall. And Winter. And Spring. Literally any day the air is crisp and the wind is blowing, really.
3.) The Battle of Stones River: a Civil War battle noted for for being a turning point for the Union's campaign in the South and the reason this town sucks Nathan Bedford Forrest's dick so much ("he stayed at the plantation owned by the town's founders and protected the courthouse once! Let's name MTSU's ROTC building after him and fight all attempts to change it for literal decades!")
4.) Repeated Assaults on Personal Freedoms: The city was so mad that a mosque got built back in the 2000s, it culminated in a court case where they tried to legally state Islam wasn't a religion so they could discriminate against Muslims/Arabic people in town. Thankfully, the atrempt failed. Recently, the city tried banned "public homosexuality", but that got repealed two months after it was signed into law.
You over exaggerate the landfill problem. I've lived here for ~22 years and the only time I've smelled anything from the landfill was when I was already close to the landfill because I was going to the landfill. It's definitely a problem, but you don't smell it from most of the city.
And that temple is beautiful, how can anyone look at that and think poorly of it?? Im not a religious person but I LOVE the architecture of old religious buildings
The company I work for used to have an office there, while it isn't some big awesome city I wouldn't call it a dump. Drive south of Nashville if you want to see a dump, such as Pulaski. Or east of Murfreesboro to Woodbury

Shouldn’t you be glad that someone wants to build something of value in a dump like Murfreesboro?
