you know, manners and all in general. i have met a few people from different heavily populated cities and they seem to have the same rude traits.

'cause not only do i have manners, i care, and i am nice. and at times i am probably too caring and too nice.
actually i'm not from the city as in the city...but suburbia. i dunno if that even counts. so when i was "in san diego"...i was actually about 20 min from downtown, or the good city part. now i'm 5 min away. but it's nice.
oddly enough (according to the stereotype it's odd...not according to me) everyone i met in nyc was nice. very little rudeness. go fig
maybe i'm used to it or something. but i dont see the rudeness of cities as much as people tend to think. i'll note an a-hole here and there, but i meet them in bfe as well.

i think to a certain extent, people in cities have a little more of a "take care of yourself first" sort of attitude, and maybe aren't as willing to randomly help someone out (like stopping to help someone change a flat tire or something).
but at the same time, people in rural areas can be extremely rude and snobbish if you don't fit into their concept of "normal".
i say this as someone who was raised in a rural area and who currently lives in an urban area.
basically, whereever you go, there are good apples, and there are bad apples. it's a matter of what you look for....
Here in Claremont, a cute little town east of LA, all the kids are really mean because they are spoiled. They are total brats compared to the kids I work with at San Diego's Logan Elem. But the adults are (mostly) really nice. When you walk past them they say "Hi" and "what a nice dog you have" even if you don't know them. They do have a small rash of racism though but what do you expect from a mostly white neighborhood.
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.

Maybe we can learn to be just like him.
Wear a little uniform.
Yes, sir.
No, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Big cities usually tend to harbor people that are ruder than most...
Cities are faster paced, giving "City People", their excuse to be "rude" The pressure of the day maybe ...
Whereas in the slower paced places... for example: down south, you'll find people are easier going, layed back & chilling in their front yard waving to people they don't know as they pass by
damn... you live like - east of la, but work in san diego? you drive there everyday??Originally posted by InfiniteNothing

People that live in big cities are just more grizzled than laid-back country folk.

I'm visiting my folks for Christmas. There's no way I'd not live in SD with the weather and prettty nice air and all. It's good to see you around though. While you were gone I protested your potential banning for that shower masturbation comment which I thought was totaly apropriate and not any worse than the Sex Dictionary post. I thought about making this a PM but I decided not to because people might want to know if I commute 110 miles.Originally posted by DankNstickY

heh... my thread wasn't even about that. it was about going "#1" in the shower. i think they (gam) would have been even more accepting of it if it was about masturbation than what i did ask about.Originally posted by InfiniteNothing

oh well... i didnt think it was "out of line", but i didn't wanna get in an argument about that with gam(s), so i just stayed quiet.
thnx for the support though
I guess I got caught up when NickleBack said she did that in the shower. I feel stupid now. Can't we just pretend that's what it was about for me. One guy I am worried about is Napolean. I haven't seen that guy around for a while and after he got jumped and stuff... Maybe I'll send him an email.

As Hunter Thompson put it, referring to NYC:
"11 million people trying to survive in a limited space is not always a pretty thing to behold."
From my experiences, it seems city folk are harder on the outside and softer on the inside. This is due to the fact that they live their lives in the constant company of strangers and neighbors. There is no place in all of Manhattan where one can get away from people. The presence of others is something city people take for granted, so outwardly they may not go out of their way to be polite and friendly to everyone they bump into. It would take too damn long. Now, that being said, city folk not only become inerred to the presence of others, but dependent on it. Behind the hard outer shell, most city folk yearn for human contact on a deeper level than "Howzitgoing?", and are more succeptible to their passions.
Country folk, on the other hand, are familiar with a far more (though not absolute) solitary existence. Meeting people is not an every minute occurence, and thus there is more of a propensity to reach out and wish strangers good day just for friendliness's sake. That being said, behind their polite and friendly exteriors, I find country folk to be harder and more independent on the inside, as well as more mistrustful of others who are not part of their community.
Common sense is what tells you the Earth is flat.

While we're talking in sterotypes, those of us in the cities think you country-folk are hillbillies, incestuous and ignorant.
