I was always brought up to meet rudeness with civility!

I actually haven't met that many rude older folks to tell you the truth. I was brought up to meet rudeness with civility as well, but sometimes you just react.....especially when you are younger. Looking back on it, it may not have been the right thing to do. My boss was fine with it-he took over the table for me. Luckily, he understood I shouldn't have to take verbal or physical abuse at work. Working in the healthcare industry I meet a lot of older people and I have realized that this part of the country especially was just a very different place when they were younger. I'm just glad that I got to experience different areas of the country growing up.

Now i got to worry if i can graze my cattle on leased land next year. Bottom line is over here in WADLEY alabama most people round here feel the same way i do, we are proud of the old alabama cause thats the way our grandparents and parents made it for us, so if you dont like that than you can threestep your ass back where you come from.

Wow, I'm glad in my rural town of less than 400 here in Alabama, I'm not treated like this

And what the heck is "forin"

If you haven't seen rudeness in older people before, you are indeed fortunate because it is a well established phenomenon. Generally it is blaimed on the fact that older people believe they have a right to say or do whatever they please because they have lived so long. Since I am rapidly approaching that stage myself, I don't think I am talking out of turn. And by the way, I have lived all over the country as well, and find where I live in Alabama to be one of the most friendly places. My mother had a saying when I was growing up -- You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. I have always tried to keep that in mind.

JS01, hon, I looked at your other posts real quick.
You've claimed to have been "born and raised" in Guin, and then Georgiana, and now you say you're in Wadley. Those 3 towns aren't even close to each other.
Actually....methinks you live under a bridge.
Like...you know...a troll!!!
