Politics is just a symptom of the disease. The mentality of the population is the problem of Atlanta. It used to a minority of the population, now it has shifted as the majority. They are pushing out those individuals who used to believe in America, now those in charge believe in "what can you do for me". Sad group, but it is the direction we are going, GA is where that mentality is getting a footing.
I'm not going to try to guess what shaped your uber-pessimistic view of the world, but damn you need to go outside, breath some fresh air, count your blessings, and find something to smile about.

Yeah he can't get past that. Poster after poster who lives in Atlanta is telling him he's wrong and we've had good experiences here, but he will only believe what he sees on the news.
Maybe he should read the Money magazine article that names Atlanta the best place to live in the U.S.
Nah...we're all doomed because of Atlanta.

The reality is - for kids in GA there’s one “normal SEC school”, UGA - serving a large state population. In Alabama there are two schools, with a lower state pop. Therefore more kids are competing for in state tuition. Surprising how close the incoming test scores are given that large discrepancy. Nice that more kids in Alabama can get a great education and take advantage of in state tuition.
You presume that Georgia Tech offers a great education for non engineers and non-math majors. Every non-engineer that I have spoken to at Tech says that it is an awful school choice.
So for kids in Atlanta who don't want to be engineers, UGA is the first and primary option (assuming they don't do Emory or the Ivy route).
Auburn is more than just an engineering school. It is a great institution. But for Atlanta kids, choice 1 for engineers is GIT. Choice 1 for non-engineers is UGA.
I agree with the last paragraph.

Management is really the only other option there

I've got a good friend with MIS degree from tech. Management was bad (MIS great).
I always laugh at college kids getting management degrees and then jumping out in the workforce. I get it if you are going to be self employed. It can be a great degree. But for wage earners? That is what an MBA does. The undergrad should be an actual skill.

Stationed all over this country in the Military. Nothing shaped it, it was just an observation firsthand. What I see happening in GA and Atlanta, is the West, NW and NE have been behaving the last 20 years. Now you have those areas migrating to get the hell away from those areas (some of the most beautiful in the World) because of the type of people who were in control. The upsetting part, many of those who are migrating are individuals who shared the same opinions and values that they were trying to get away from. I am amazed by Southern residents not seeing it.

First, thank you for serving in the military.
Secondly, stop worrying. Don't put your faith in man, especially our elected leaders. Focus on something other than politics because it will drive you crazy. You are no doubt blessed as much or more than I am. Count your blessings, have faith in God above, and smile.

This is all kind and cute and respectful, but doesn't change the fact that Auburn's admission standards are lower, much lower, than UGA's.
Significantly. Medians, Means, this or that, by all metrics.
Auburn is lower than Georgia.

Never lost faith in God, losing faith in those who are ignoring God. Not about politics, it about what is acceptable behavior for all of mankind. It is not the leaders anymore; they get exposed on a regular basis and have for a long time. It is the followers that concern me. We are no longer a country of people who fight for the rest of the world, we are now a country that fights for those who look like them or who will maintain the standard of life given to them without sacrifice. We used to have a military that lowered it heads and fought for the principles that was taught to them on Sundays and Monday thru Friday. Today they are just looking for a way to be just like the rest of society. I smile at those who ignore what is happening, because they will be the ones who act shocked when it slaps them on their face.

I will ask you this question. If you attended college, could you have gotten in Auburn today with your scores?

Hate to say it but I agree. Its almost as if all of the leftist miscreants in America held a convention somewhere, pointed to ATL on a map and told everybody to move there. After 20 years of running a business here, I am in liquidation phase and preparing to evacuate the area. There is no winning against the hordes of Mordor.

I have lived in South metro ATL for the last 20 years. I am a UGA, Med Coll of GA grad married to a Tech grad and we both see GA as a sinking ship. We are getting on the next lifeboat out.

I wouldn’t have. I think this may have been the most competitive year on record for admissions.

Your saying Atlanta doesn’t host a major tennis tournament?

Wow, totally clueless to the true description of Atlanta. You pick some very isolated positive factors of a city and ignore the obvious negitive issues. They far outweigh anything positive.
Do you see any irony in the fashion you responded to this post?
Atlanta is steadily gaining college educated young professionals to its population. Now I personally don’t place a lot of credentialing in a diploma, but it’s a pretty basic standard of living metric.
And our political beliefs probably align, and sure I’d like to see a much more conservative Atlanta. But urban areas aren’t conservative. Big cities are blue. But there are also a lot of conservative westerners and midwesterners moving to Atlanta. I live amongst cattle farms and plantation pines and I love it. It’s only fair to compare ATL to other major cities and it’s the “city in a Forrest” for a reason.

I think his silence answers my question. At least he is honest.

Thanks for your honesty. People think this is a UGA vs the rest of the SEC issue. This is the Southern Culture and America ideology vs the liberal vision of power and defeat of the American way. UGA fans should be raising more hell than anyone.

Georgia fans are so goddamn arrogant it’s pathetic. And the funniest part is they don’t see it. We’re going to get smoked this weekend but frick Georgia anyway. If the fricking nuclear bomb hit that shite hole city, I wouldn’t give a frick.

No I’m aware. Georgia Tech engineering is among the most elite programs in the country… a top ten type of program.
A guy trying to pot stir by aligning his school with a non-equivalent elite instate school is the point.
Like a vols fan saying “only people from TN who are too dumb to get into Tenn or Vandy would go to UGA”… well maybe that’s true about Vandy but definitely not TN…, and the driving force would be instate tuition not academics.

You can’t tell those stupid motherfrickers anything. It ruins their narrative that somehow, miraculously, they become the Harvard of the south. Even though theyre playing the same game, everyone else is… Out of state tuition.
My son, who is a junior at Georgia Tech, who got in everywhere he applied, was down to Tech and Auburn. I said, “would you ever consider going to UGA?” He said “frick that school bunch of frat clowns”.
