Zone1 Cityslickers Vs. Country

[arnieisblack]

Is it more observed and practiced in the city or the country? That's all I really wanna know.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

that is very thoughtful. Be nice to go back to that wouldn't it??

God, it sure would.

That was back on the West Coast, which made it all the more pleasantly surprising.

Before my hubby passed, we had a new neighbor move in next door and I took her a homemade almond cake and we started a nice relationship.

It's far more common to see that kind of thing here in the Midwest. A few days after I moved into my new home in SD, an octogenarian lady who lives across the street knocked on the front door with a plate of homemade lemon-iced cookies and a representative of the town came by with a welcome bag, full of useful doodads and coupons from local businesses and such.

Why have such kindnesses become almost obsolete?

IMHO, it's more of a country thing.

I buried my uncle a few years back and noticed that during the funerall procession that all the cars on the road stopped out of respect. My mom told me that's just how it is in the country, is it not like that in the city? Is it selfishness or ignorance of the proper protocol as to why city folk don't pull over and wait for it to pass?

City dwellers are too busy to do that shit......They don't care....After all, they will never die and all that matters is their own fake reality.

I mean cityslickers are so much more liberated and better on all fronts. It's great to be a liberal but the country bumpkins gotta have some things they can do right, most rednecks don't know their ass from a hole in the ground though.

Well said. Country folk are more aware of the nearness of death. I have to think about it every day because I have a long drive to town on rural county roads and I can't believe all the road kill! It was upsetting at first, but then I realized that for every animal that died, other animals ate.

Ah, so there WAS a snarling agenda hiding in there. I sensed it. Hope you had a good laugh at the rednecks, but believe me, the rednecks do not give a rip what you think of us.

Since allies of the dead gang member are all gathered outside for the burial some urban negroes take the opportunity to shoot another one or two.

I drive 30 miles each way from the mountains (where I live) down to our metro area on a 2 lane mountain road. Snow makes it even more dangerous. Gotta watch for deer too during better weather. Lots of road kill and I've also seen some pretty horrific accidents. Makes you aware of how fragile life can be careening down a road in a big metal box.

I'd rather be a 'redneck' than a 'snowflake.'

Every redneck I know is proud to be that way. It's funny, watching urban vermin attempting to insult rednecks.

Yes besides, rural folks know better than to not wear a good broad brimmed hat to cover their necks when putting up that pasture fence in the sun.

Democrats hate that stuff. They're patrolling the streets and social media looking for somebody to destroy, or at least hate. Then they dog whistle the rest of the mob and they pounce.

Kind of like the OP.

I think because we have all become so self absorbed and busy. mostly busy. we think we don't have the time to do something nice and that no body wants company which is sometimes true..sometimes you have neighbors who just don't want company.
