[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from a small town.  Loved in Boston and DC, now live in the Midwest on the outskirts in a midsize town.

I find that “city” people and “small town” people both make a lot of assumption about each other.  In the same way the post here mocks small town people for being nervous in the city, they are often nervous in a small town.

They also have this idea that it is unsafe in a small town if you are a minority.  Which I find hilarious, because half my Hicksville backwood good ol’ boys and girls are in interracial marriages…way more than my DC elite friends.

I wish we’d all take a deep breath and realize there are good and bad people everywhere.[/quote]

Agreed. I actually find city people to be more judgmental and more likely to make lazy stereotypes about small town people than the opposite. [/quote]

I think it depends on how you define lazy. My sister lives in the country and never walks anywhere. They drive all the time, even if it’s to a different store in the same shopping center. We walk all the time because things are accessible and parking is difficult. On the other hand, we’re far more likely to have something delivered because that’s easier and not too expensive, especially if I would’ve had to pay for parking. She never has things delivered because they’re used to driving everywhere for errands and they live so far away from restaurants and stores that most places don’t offer the service or charge a lot for it. She thinks I’m a little lazy for relying on deliveries, and I think she’s a little lazy for driving even when she can walk.  It’s all about perspective. [/quote]

Looks like you’re a lazy reader/critical thinker. [/quote]
