[quote=Anonymous]I'm a foreigner who spent 8 years in AL and GA. I do think that - and this is a huge generalization - there is an element of being polite because it's what people who were raised well do. You go through a lot of motions and sometimes it's fake, but it's just how it is. You do not confront people openly (unless you are 85 and then everyone cuts you slack), you do not use sarcasm (that is considered beyond rude), you do not criticize openly, etc. It took me a long time to get used to this. There is a show called GCB (I think). Watch a few episodes and you'll understand. [/quote]
