Have you been to rural America? If you have, the answer should be obvious -- it's ignorance.

It's nice to finally be appreciated. Don't worry, hayseed. The city slickers will take care of everything.
No, what I tire of us is the whole inferiority complex that many rural Americans have with the whole "oh city slicker in your black shiny car think you so much better than me cuz you gots fancy college 'grees n' stuffs, well I can farm and live off the land." It's a persecution complex, so many country slickers think that everyone from the suburb/city is mocking them or looking down on them, they constantly whine about this. But then to sit on this thread and do the exact thing you complain so mightily about is tad hypocritical. Most of the "city slickers" on here rarely complain about being "looked down upon," so when they talk trash at least they're not being hypocrites.
I also tire of the "oh po' city slicker couldn't last a day out heruh in these parts." Please, just because I don't live in a trailer or on a farm doesn't mean I can't handle myself. I grew up in a suburb that was literally 5 minutes away from being in farm country, anyone from my part of Minnesota can attest to that. I've also lived in Southern California, Virginia, rural south Georgia, and now I live in the city in north Georgia. Stop with the arrogance. Or at the very least don't whine when it's dished right back to you.
Get real. I've lost count of the number of times your supposedly superior and accepting city crowd have referred to rural residents as trailer trash, uneducated, rednecks, and a host of other intentionally insulting labels. As I pointed out in an earlier response to one of your one sided requests for civility it was suggested in this thread that we should stick to farming and leave governance to others. Remarks like that do not encourage polite discourse yet you voice no objection to them.
Despite the scores of negative remarks directed at those of us that choose to live somewhere other than cities you can only find fault with our responses. Your feigned indignation is an utter load of crap.
My point wasn't that urbanites never insult rural Americans, my point was that at least city livers don't whine about being made fun of, and then turn around mock others. I can't say the same thing about the country people on here.
Is that why they're always under this illusion that "city slickers" are mocking them and scheming up ways to end their little slice of Mayberry with "socialist" government intrusion? Everytime someone makes a remark about how they couldn't live in the country scores of rural folks get up in arms in righteous indignation and get all huffy and defensive with their typical "city slickers couldn't handle it out here in the sticks" shtick that wears thin real fast.

Geee...I don't know why they could not make it.
Other than driving a little farther to stores and professional services I don't see much difference.
They would learn to drive on ice and snow just like the rest of us.

No, the city livers do it in reverse, they mock and then whine. Well that's much better isn't it.
Lol, I'd be willing to bet that the closest you have been to the earth lately is the Buckmans farmers market.
I don't know what a Buckmans Market is, but I'm willing to bet the closest you got to the earth was a trip to Publix to pick up some ding dongs to stuff down your gullet. See how easy it is to make assumptions about people(and fun).
All I was doing in my previous post was commenting on the dumb stereotypes on here---that somehow anyone who lives in a city is clueless once they pull a few miles off the interstate or that all rural folk are angry hicks. It's like people on here just want to believe there's some simple world made up of black and white divisions where everyone can be placed in their proper pigeon-hole.
