PARIS: Urbanites seeking peace and quiet in the bucolic French countryside will have more difficulty in taking farmers to court over crowing roosters, mooing cows and stinking pigs in the future after parliament passed a new law, reported German news agency (dpa).

    Ya gotta feel bad for them.

    I grew up in a rural area around farms. Knew farmers. I never thought about where food came from…it was kind of obvious.

    Now I never had to kill my own chicken or anything, but poor city dwellers are so isolated they have no chance to understand.

    They’re like the people in Brave New World, taught that everything “out there” is bad, dangerous, deadly.

    (On that note, Chicago, NY, Philly, Baltimore, LA, Portland, etc, would like a word).

      Yeah not in my experience. Who told you that?

        People are bad at statistics. Murder numbers might be high in some places that the original comment named but 1. The populations are larger and 2. Violent crime is a minority of overall crime. Murder is a tiny fraction of violent crime
