Epiphany

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

After reading some thread or another, I saw the word 'village'. Seeing this word I automatically knew this poster was not from the USA.

And then, I realized that I have never been to a village and that there isn't really such a thing in America. At least none that I have ever heard of. We don't term cities and towns as villages. Just cities or towns or small towns or even really small towns.

Have you had any epiphanies lately?

EDIT:
According to Wiki a village is a community that is unincorporated into a municipality. So it really isn't under any laws except state, I think... Clarification anyone?

Actually, Walbridge, Ohio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia the place i just moved out of is considered a village, legally. It does have its own curfew laws, but besides that, I'm not sure.

My epiphany is that I'm only annoying to those that have their heads too far up their arses to see the light of day

I've been to several villages here in the province of Sindh...Now those I call villages... They have a well were they water from... a little market and houses that are like mini farms.

The place where I grew up is legally a village.

I guess "village" is a different term for every culture.

It does have its own curfew laws

> Land of the free

> Widespread and commonplace curfew laws despite absence of civil emergency

Small towns in America are villages, just different symantics. There's loadsa villages here in Ireland but they are usually called by the Irish word for town which is 'Baile' or 'Bally'.

Village is mostly an english thing, the next smallest to that would be a hamlet.

[Nod]

yay for the english and villages.

I think that it used to be the case that a village had to have a church to be classified as a village?

Villages are good, they have local shops, for local people.

[Breine]

There are tons of villages in Denmark. Tons.


Also, haven't had any epiphanies lately.

My parents grew up in a village in China. I've been there a few times. It's awesome. Cats everywhere! And the friendly villager gesture of welcome was an offering of a cigarette. xD

I have no epiphanies to report either.

WE'LL HAVE NO TROUBLE HERE!!! Edward He treasures the precious things of the shop

Villages are places surrounded by Roman Camps with an old man that make magic potion that give superhuman performance for certain activities at night!

PS: There are usually no Honey Bee Inns in villages so Corneo never like villages.

I think the thing here is that while there are things that could be called villages, the word typically isn't used in the US. A village has a medieval connotation for me, so it would be weird to apply it towards a [town].

[Madonna]

A [Town] is where you can buy better [Armor] or get a stronger [Weapon]; a [Village] is typically where you can only get a good night's rest or a [Potion] or two!

In a village beneath a mesa I lived; it had all of one store and to go to school, a child had to take an hour bus ride to a [Town] which shared its facilities!

[Jessweeee♪]

I used to live in a village. We had to drive to a city forty minutes away if we wanted to get groceries
