Keep in mind that the Daily Mail is a British tabloid.

Who knew they have all these orgies here.

Is there a club for that?

I hate when some of this crap gets dragged out. For us to joke around is one thing but when others bring it up... I am sure it is not everyone’s cup of teas but for the most part, things are great.

Ummmm... what about freedom of speech? Exposes by journalists? That saying applies to gossip.

Sensationalism. Trying to buy attention. It's working.

In the article he compared The Villages negatively with Manhattan in size and wealth. But he fails to note that unlike Manhattan we don’t have a murder, rape, mugging or armed robbery every 2 minutes. Yep, The Villages is such a bad place. This article is ridiculous.

The other retirement communities who wish they were as successful as The Villages were the ones behind all of this exaggerated BS. There is one idiot who states he comes here and lives in his van, uses our facilities to try and hook up with lonely rich woman. I mean really where did they find this jerk. Then they talk about people having sex in golf carts. What do they expect?? Like none of this goes on in any other city in America. The extend of what some people or company would do to try and downgrade the success of a retirement community it just blows my mind. I know THE VILLAGES is a GREAT PLACE to live and so do you. If anyone watches this BS video and believes all of this crap and allows this video to change their mind about The Villages, well then they must be very simple minded people and deserve to go and live elsewhere.

I did not read the article because I know the daily mail to be a rag. Why bother?

What about having high standards? Respectful journalism over gossip? With freedom comes responsibly.

Same reason people slow down and look at a car accident.
