Colorado Springs is a military town, except for the college there. I've heard parts of CO are rednecky, but Denver and a lot of the really small towns and resort towns are nice. Boulder seems like the opposite extreme, like a throwback to the 60's, from what I've heard.
Yes, the Springs suck. A lot of libertarians and military people. Libertarians are ruder than the baptist conservatives that we have here. Baptists are usually nice until you see them later at the bar after they get hammered, but they clean up well for Sunday school the next day.
Well, not all of Colorado is the same. Colorado Springs...rude. There are not that many people that are actually from Colorado most have moved there, so you get an amalgamation. The Amalgamation is largely dependent on the city. People go to different cities in Colorado for different reasons, but at least there you have a choice of the type of people that you want to live around. Here, pretty much all the same.
I've spent a lot of time in Boulder, Denver, and Ft. Collins; and I've spent a little time in CoS and Longmont. Colorado's just not my thing.

I'm with you; that's why I stopped holding doors, respecting my elders, etc. I had it; those were too many years trying to be nice just to discover that I'm always on the losing end. Granted: I don't feel like much of a man, but I fit in. And that feels a lot nicer than being frustrated by rude people.
Trying to be good when everyone around you is wicked is an invitation for trouble.
All you can do is be responsible for your actions. When others actions or inactions make you do something else then they have won.
You were acting like a gentleman, being kind and considerate. Just because some take advantage of that, or don't appreciate it, doesn't mean you should change your ways. That's on them. Don't make their problems yours.
You set a good example, stay with it.

If you are tired of rude people and rude behavior, I highly recommend watching the movie God Bless America. It's got some over-the-top violence but holy hell it was funny and a smart commentary on the state of our culture.
That movie looks funnier than hell. Thanks for the heads up.
