sevfiv Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 All humans are products of their experiences, whether they live in the city or the country.I can't agree with you more - it's all about experience and exposure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disastro Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 People in rural areas are definitely more conservative (socially especially)... and sorry if this angers people but there is probably a higher percentage of those who are prejudice or racist in these rural areas. That's not saying everyone is racist... I am saying there is a higher percentage of those who are. This also doesn't mean all of these people want to join the KKK... they may not "hate", they just may not like or trust people of a different race b/c of things they believe are true. When you live in a more diverse area like a big city you tend to become more educated and open-minded b/c you are exposed to others who are different from you. So what yer sayin' is..."they ig-nert"!

HtownWxBoy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I think what you're describing is the effects of cultural isolation, not necessarily ruralism. Oh I totally agree. So what yer sayin' is..."they ig-nert"! Ha ha... yes, some are ig-nert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therepguy Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Very insightful. I think Bush should be the new baseline against which other Presidents will be measured. By that measure, either candidate is an improvement. It's just a matter of getting through the trough in the wake of all the Bush disasters. If the next President can survive that and turn things around, he will be judged a success.Can it be ... an enlighten Texan? I'm not alone!...judged more along the lines of a true Saint! <Grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
