[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP, and realize that the immediate PP sounds like he/she is the OP responding to the person who was criticizing me for being foreign born and thinking my culture is better. I think here the immediate PP is foreign born and making a good response.

However, just to clarify (not that it really matters in regard to the main question) I'm the OP and I'm not foreign born. I'm pretty average, probably, for an American. (ie, one parent is foreign born, the other side came to the US in the 1600s.) However, I have lived overseas for years as an adult, and I do like an international community. Nothing wrong with that, right?

I'm sorry I didn't write better. I can see that a lot of what I have written can offend people in lots of different ways. (and I haven't provided enough context to prevent them from interpreting it a certain way.) I have still found the discussion helpful. I don't believe that kids get progressively ruder as HHI increases. But I see that I've given that impression. It's very hard to have any useful discussion of social atmosphere, but I think everyone can agree that it varies by community, and on a larger scale by parts of the country. (ie, culturally, the is Southeast different in some ways from the Northeast, which is different from the pacific Northwest, which is different from California) But as soon as you try to put any differences into words, you get yourself in trouble. But I think people agree that different neighborhoods here are different in some ways, and in general I think most of us might enjoy living in some neighborhoods more than they will enjoy living in others. And all neighborhoods will have some rude kids and some conservative people and some alternative people and what have you. But there can still be a neighborhood vibe. Fair enough?

I'm not feeling judged by my neighbors and I don't think I'm superior. I just find that here I tend to feel I put my foot in my mouth a lot. I prefer not to feel that way. And there are neighborhoods where I don't feel that way so often, because people understand what I'm saying. [/quote]
