[quote author=iskor12 link=1239721375/0#2 date=1239725152]What do you want to know? I live in Illinois, but Iowa is only a 5 min drive from where I live.
I would be able to help you out more if I knew what area in Iowa he is moving to.
People are open minded. I guess I don't understand your reasoning for this whole thread. Please elaborate. I am willing to help
He is going to Ottumwa, don't know where it is. it looks like a great city from its website
These are the things i want to know:
1º) How religious is the people there, and how tolerant to other religions (specially to non religious people)
2º) How open minded is the people there. I mean, if sex is a complete taboo, if young people go out to discos and stuff like that.
3º) If there's any safety issue. For example, dangerous animals, dangerous groups of people...
4º) If there's any remarkable "uncommon" law
Everything you can tell me. Better if it's possitive
. BTW as far as he knows, he likes the place.

From my experience from living here, I would have to say....
1.) Religion is everywhere, but people here aren't going to hold him to it. Times have changed.
2.) Young people these days, are on a record for having the most sex....sad, I must say. People, no matter where you live, are still going to break the rules. Discos? haha I don't know about that area, but he wont be to far to where he could go to some.
3.) No worries here
4.) None that I know of.
He should get along fine. The question is, how opposed to religion is your friend. Will he freak out if some one approches him about it? He most likely will see people who aren't affraid to express their religion, but I don't see anyone trying to force it uppon him either.
He will be about 60 min from where I live.. Quad Cities. I must say though, unless I am mistaken, they did have some rather sever storms there last year.
