I think the war is between the snobs in Cary and the lack of snobs in Durham!!!

Perhaps it is human nature to want to think you are better than someone else and that is what makes a snob? And if that is the case and feeling snobby makes you feel better, go for it. Sounds more like low self esteem to me. Let me disclose...I am not a psychologist!!!

I disagree. When people living in Wake County highlight each individual crime that occurs in Durham, there is no hidden agenda. They are people who genuinely care about their neighbors in Durham. They lose sleep at night worrying about safety of those living in all parts of Durham, because they are all in danger. I have no doubt that the same people highlighting the crimes are also donating large sums of money to worthy charities aiming to correct the socioeconomic imbalances in Durham. It's just in their DNA.

So...the question is...

Is it the perception of the people in these areas (do they think they are better) or is it the perception of the people from other areas (they just think the people think they are better)?!!

Do YOU think you are snobby or do YOU think other people are snobby?
