    This clearly isn’t the country I thought it was, and I have been giving the average population too much credit. Apparently, this is a country of hatred, selfishness, and stupidity.

    So, I guess I’m just going to follow suit. I’m done giving to charity, and being kind to strangers. I’m just going to get all I can get while the getting is good, and to hell with everybody else. I’m a straight white dude, I’ll be fine.

        Yankees who say the South is so nice or welcoming are gullible at best. some older folks will follow a sort of law of hospitality, but most everyone here is cruel and spiteful under whatever facade of niceness they may have. Being raised here really taught me how valueless ‘niceness’ is.
