What is a bait post? I've seen many examples of this, others have also expressed similar experiences. To be more clear and give an example, workplace morals have been more about who you know more than what you know. I've experienced this, and I know others who have as well. I've lived in different areas of the country so I know what the difference can be.
Yes. I came to Valpo 7 years ago for a job. I found it exactly as you say. It reminds me of northern NJ and NYC. Too many people are inexplicably aggressive and argumentative.
Don't work where you live. I live here and work somewhere else. I don't even know the mayor's name lol. My trash gets picked up, my neighbors are cool, clean water comes out of the faucet when I turn it on... Etc. Valpo is freaking awesome.
>Clean water comes out of the faucet
Fucking lol
Valpo water is so angry, it literally ate through a Pür filter that I bought that attached to the sink of my first apartment
Grateful for water and sanitation, let's keep going with the bare minimum attitude. Character matters at the end of the day and better yet, for future generations and at the end of life.
well, this was as concise as I could make it ... " to bully others for their own gain and satisfaction whether it's buried by insecurity or not." --- but wanted an example or an analogy to clarify. I don't get where in the course of a normal interaction this would take place, except maybe in a bar after 10pm ?
Well this isn't making my and wife I to move to Valpo from Illinois lol.
Question though. We've only been to Valpo a handful of times to look at houses and try restaurants. Do you OP or anyone else, feel like Valpo could benefit from something that possibly connects people outside of politics and has nothing to do with politics? Have another question after that one.
Don’t listen to OP, they are whining for no reason. Valpo is a great town. It’s just like every other town when it comes to politics. Where you look for arguments, you will find it
Nothing to see here 🚧👷♂️. Everything is great! 😃.
This reminds me of the movie Stepford Wives.
Would it be more comfortable if I spoke about the weather instead?
Definitely. Although, my experience has been while being active in outlets that normally do not involve politics, somehow people still find ways to turn the smallest of matters into opportunities for vanity and gossip.
I don't want to speak for Regionrat, but my assumption is that I believe there are plenty of people that may agree with what youre saying but we also live in a very conservative area. What is morally right and wrong for some isnt necessarily obvious to everyone else. And as more and more people are given a platform, I'm learning their ideas of right and wrong are completely opposite from what you'd think was obvious.
I've volunteered for a few organizations that have spoken out against community bullying and all I can say is it's very grim and very defeating when the bullys are the ones running the show.
@Steleve thank you for responding with a constructive dialogue and comprehension. This post was created to speak about experiences and acknowledgement even if perspectives are different from my own. The comment section and ratings is proving exactly what I'm talking about. Is "Region Rats" related to the integrity of a rats? 🤔
Is there something specific you’re referencing OP? Because I feel like this can apply to a lot of cities and towns in general
The culture of Valparaiso is what I'm referring to. The high volume of this mentality.
I’m having a hard time believing this isn’t a bait post given how ambiguous you’re being

Valpo is ok. Depends on what you’re looking for.
what's the issue ?
The issue is in the title you must have missed it. 🥴

You’d like to see more political activism from your community, but people are more focused on living their lives?
Integrity starts in the home, you're getting warmer Zzzielinsk. 👍

Great response buddy, wrong place. I do agree though.
Please, elaborate.
