Once again, we see an example of generalizations and broad sweeping judgemental statements of others simply because of where they have lived or were possibly born and raised. If we were to believe the comments you posted, one would think folks from Atlanta, Florida and New York had sprouted horns and had a long tale from their posterior. Have you ever been to New York? How many people do you know from Atlanta, Florida or New York? Of those you have met and know, how many are the terrible people you make them out?. Have you ever met anyone nice from these other places?

I read the same post you read. Nowhere did I see any indication by the person starting this thread they knew the other people or where they have lived or call home. It is just as likely they could of been from Alexander City as Atlanta. Probably much more likely they were from Alabama than Florida. I really doubt any were from New York; although it is possible. It is rather likely others expect most folks particuarly out on the Lake to have a Cell Phone. I think this could be a logical generalization for you to make. People generally no longe allow their young children to play or walk to school unaccompanied. I doubt many of us would pick-up a hitch hiker in this day in age. I believe this is just as true in one place as another in the USA.

I would imagine you are educated and possible have an advanced degree. Again, this is a generalization more common in this period of history than say forty years ago. Other could read your post with not only the ignorant sounding assumptions, but also the numerous mispellings and other gramatical mistakes an form an invalid judgement of you. They might also choose to read your post and say people from the South and even from Alabama are uneducated and stupid. We know this would be an unfair charaterization of the fine citizens of The Great State of Alabama.

There maybe others on the Forum that believe you are correct and disagree with my rebuttal to your post. If this is the case, I just hope good Americans from near and far do not consider all of us rasied in Alabama to be so ignorant sounding and judgemental.

I have read numerous other post you have made, and I had a higher opinion of your logic and intelligence than seems to come across in your above post. This is not meant to be a personal attack, but I disagree with your logic and position in this thread.
