Oh, and unless you're sick or injured, "I'll pray for you," actually means, "**** you."

I live in Georgia, and where I live is very rural. I live in the country and the nearest town is not real big. Most everybody is friendly and you get to know a lot people. It's nothing to go help friends/family/neighbors who need it. A lot family's down here have big reunions where their kinfolk can all meet together so you get to see a lot of cousins/aunts and uncles you don't get to see that often. But I really like it (small town), I don't really care for the big city that much.

Small towns are small towns, I don't think this type of community described is limited to the south.

It depends on the people. Some neighborhoods are filled with friendly families, while others have a bunch of unfriendly drug addicts, and vice versa.

The company I work for has a client in South Georgia, it is a small city and the hang out place is Wal-Mart. It is also the only place I know of to shop for groceries.:?

Some, sure, but that's in any state. I have found that people here, in Texas, are a bit nicer than elsewhere I've been. However, that's just from personal experience.

I live in MS, so I'm probably biased, but I think we are way nicer. I'm basing this on my trip to NYC though. For example when I rode the subway in NYC, I would smile and say howdy to people, and they would just look at me like I was completely insane for daring to talk to them. Seriously, I've never seen so many depressed looking people in one setting than I have on the subway. Again, I'm biased.

Not sure why since FL is below a bunch of other southern states. You must be easily amused...

Pretty much what I said before. I remember I visited Maine and it had the most quaint small town full of friendly people. That's almost as north as the U.S. border goes.

I lived there for a decade. :lol: Yep, Wal-Mart is the hang-out spot, though you can also shop for groceries at Harvey's. Sybil's is excellent country cooking though, you should step in the next time you're there.

Its not that we are depressed its just that we really don't care. You don't get random people saying "hi" to you in NY. Its so farfetched to us. When New Yorkers interact it is at a distance and we all hold this "I don't care" attitude.

Yeah, they are for the most part like that. Although, it is exagerrated somewhat on TV.
