I honestly think that humanity is the scourge on the face of the planet, both by our pollution and waste and also because we just breed and breed, as though there's something noble about it.
We are not responsible for the decisions that others make, but we are for those that we make. I don't think race has anything to do with it. If individuals paid the full price for their children, for their education, perhaps they would think twice before having so many.
Well, my wife and I are a couple of retiring Puerto Ricans who had three daughters (one more than necessary to replace us when we die), all of which we have fed, educated and sheltered with hard-earned wages and a lot of love. One of them is a fine teacher in Arlington, TX, the second is a very promising nursing student in SC and the youngest a mature Georgia high-schooler who would like to be a doctor someday. What would you rather have, someone with two siblings to educate your children, take your blood pressure or possibly save your life, or a mass murderer only child?
Every time I go to a Southern State I am impressed with how friendly most of the people are. When I go back home and tell people about it, the common statement is that the friendliness down South is not real. I am told the friendliness is actually a form of passive aggressive behavior and instead the people really do not like me but were told by their parents to act polite and friendly to everyone. In reality, they are talking nasty about me behind my back as soon as I leave.
Can this be true? Is southern hospitality a fake?
I think you going to get people rude all over the place in the US .It is well nature that some people will be nice and some people rude. I think alot is what you say to them and what you are talking about and where it is city,town or country.
People in city may be less friendly and talkative than people in the town or country.
Based on my observations when I go south, the people in the South don't exactly try to be friendly. They try to be polite, which is completely different.

We had our Jersey friends stop and visit us in Dallas. They had a 2 hr layover here in route to. Utah. Anyway we took them for a quick bite...WHATABURGER. (It's a Texan thing) as we walked out the staff told us, " Thank you, ya'll come back, and have a great weekend."
THEY were SHOCKED!!!! " WERE THEY TALKING TO US?
On the other hand my good friend from Queens always tells me she cannot handle the way women treat each other here. "They will smile sweetly in your face, then rake your bones over coals as soon as your back is turned." She asked me if any women in the south are capable of telling the truth?
She is a no holds- barred, tells it like it is, what you see is what you get kind of woman.
I love this about her. Most of the women here think she is too brash, cold, and unfriendly.
I don't understand why people are upset by polite people with good manners. Had you rather they be rude? Do they need to want to take you to raise? Can't people smile and be nice (even if they don't want to be your new best friend) without causing upset?
