country folk and city people

[johnf]

Because they live in a different world. We see them as a bunch of uptight gun haters. They see us as a buch of beer guzzling creten's who kill bamby.

I've got a buddy who moved from a small town in KS to Chicago after college. He was mugged at gun point 5 times in his first year. The last time I talked with him, he wanted to outlaw handguns.

I asked him why he didn't just get his own gun and defend himself. He didn't see the widom in that.

Go figure.

City folks just got a different way of thinkin'

I talked to guy out fishing this summer, asked him how he was doing, told him Id been catching a lotta fish right where he was sitting in my spot LOL, and even told him what id been catching em on.

Turned out he was from the the city somewhere, he drove 6 hrs to fish up here and does it every summer, he stays for a week.I asked him outta all the places he could go fishing why he kept coming back here, we really dont have any good fishing around here.He said the people where he lived wouldnt talk to you if you were out fishing, much less stop and tell you what they were catching anything on or just to visit.The people here are all real friendly, he has a young daughter he brings along and said he would love to move here because his daughter should be around people like us.

And thats the difference I guesse http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Another point might be that more minorities tend to live in bigger cities and no doubt the minorities tend to lean in favor of democratic candidates however bad they may be.

Where in Chicago did he hang out to get mugged 5 times. I've been to Chicago many times, daylight and at night, north side, wrigley field, south side. Nobody ever bothered me. If you hang out in high crime areas, you're bound to be a victim. I could go to a housing project 10 miles down the road and probably not make it out, thats why I don't go there, I stay out here in the country and drive fast by the project, and I ain't stoppin for nobody.

Don't know what part of Chicago. All I know is that he was an inner city teacher and lived in an appartment near the school. He walked to work I don't know why, if you've been there, you probibly have a better idea than me. He was mugged on his way to school. That was just his story.

The funny thing about Chicago, is that the Loop, or the absolute center of the city, isn't really all that bad, it's where everything is, Sears Tower, Hancock Tower, Magic Mile, Wrigley Building. I was there after dark several times, and not just at like 9 pm or something, were talking close to midnight, was I nervous, well, yeah, not being from there and all, but mostly it was college kids hanging out, and even the occasional rich woman in her mink coat taking her dog out for a poop. Now, the west side wasn't fun at all, I had to drive through there to deliver a load and lets just say the doors were locked and I had my tire thumper up on the dash.

I live in the country, but work in a mid-sized city (about 150,000) and travel to large cities fairly often. What I've observed is that the fast pace of city life / city work tends to make people forget about how to relax and let the little things slide. Traffic doesn't bother me (not even the obvious idiots and rude drivers) for the first few days I'm in a city, but after a week or so I catch myself getting mad or uptight everytime some little something happens. I belive it really is environmental. I think you could take most city people to the country for a year and there would be a drastic change in their attitudes and actions.

We are northern, country folk, rednecks and vote (at least the men do) Republican! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
