Growing up in the South, everyone would wave when ya'll passed on the road. Not anymore.

The only place I've been where folks still do that is north Missouri.

BC,

I can understand (somewhat) where you're coming from.

BUT; as an MD, you have to acknowledge that diagnosing someone without an examination is no bueno, and actually constitutes malpractice.

perhaps James would take the case against you?

I disagree with the east thing.
If you go to the east coast the people are very friendly and down to earth,especially in Newfoundland and that is as far east as you can go in North America

You’re a joke just a waste of time in your own world no mention of you until you went off. I thought you would have been smarter then that but your all about the games you just can’t stand being left out at any cost.

I don’t see a difference in people from different parts of the nation, only difference I see is country folks or city folks. Heck I’ve got along with country folks in Washington, Idaho, Montana, NM, Texas, Kansas, and of course all over the South.
It’s the city folks that seem to be a little different.

Now if you want to break it into wealthy and poor. I’ve seen both have attitudes and some weird differentiating opinions. I’ve seen truly filthy rich folks sit down for a home cooked meal and talk life with your average everyday worker. I’ve seen those that “think” they’re filthy rich try and belittle everyone. I can pick a billionaire from a millionaire from a wanna be in just a few minutes of conversation. The wannabes wanna tell you how rich they are, the filthy rich ask about your family and work and listen intently. Also their kids are more respectful. Sounds crazy and against everything you hear, but that’s just been my experiences.

Sorta the same about trapping on here. If you pay attention you can tell the true greats that know exactly what they’re doing and could back it up. They don’t brag, but offer free advice. Some on here I don’t think could catch a mouse if it was in a shoe box. Some post for attention, some post to offer their experiences. Some are liked, some aren’t. There’s several in here that would be around after the end of the Earth just on their knowledge of nature and survival. There’s others that think they would, but most likely they’d be the first gone, lol.

That’s always what’s interesting on social media, figuring out the fakes from the real.

People must be argumentative in SD.

My take. Generally speaking. In rural areas people may need to rely upon their neighbors and in turn may need help from each other. All in the same boat so to speak. They build trust in each other and since anonymity is harder the few bad eggs get weeded out quickly. They also work hard, usually out of necessity to maintain a lifestyle and respect others that do too. In the cities it’s dog eat dog. People feel emboldened to grab theirs and don’t trust anyone else. They can disappear into the crowd. They say if you’re on the run safest place to hide is a city. Small towns seem a mix. Just my 2 cents
