In that way, many Americans are among the "stingiest" people in the

Were you drinking when you wrote your post or is your spell checker corrupted?
When I was able bodied, me and my friends helped people out all the time. I never resented any tax money going to help those in need. I've always had a problem with Commiecrats using my tax dollars to buy votes from the entitlement class and protected species. I'm being helped now because I'm disabled and can no longer work. Social Security and Medicaid are taking pretty good care of me and I'm grateful for what little I have. Some wonderful people have helped me and wanted nothing in return except my thanks.

Perhaps it's just because I live in The South where most people are used to helping others because of their upbringing? I've done some traveling and the people I've met all seemed to desire the same things like safety and a good life. When I was out in Californiastan, I met some of the most horrible backstabbing weasels and it was more than one. It seemed to be common in the workforce and a general attitude. It wasn't everyone but there were just too many for me to tolerate. Stomping someone until they quit twitching can land a feller in jail. I believe it has a lot to do with population density. I'm thinking that the tighter you pack people into a given area, the worse their behavior. ヽ(à²*_à²*)ノ

I agree with you on that.



I don't know where you reside but I would ask if you've seen the same behavior that I've witnessed over the years. I grew up in both a small town and a rural area. In the small town, neighbors looked out for one another and in the rural area of farms, if you were lost and stopped at a farmhouse to ask directions, chances were you'd be invited in for refreshments and a meal..

Humans are social creatures but when there are too many too close together, behavior changes. I remember my family being able to leave the house unlocked and keys in our vehicles until vermin from the cities invaded the rural area we lived in. All the sudden, homes in the area were being burglarized.. One house down the mountain from us was cleaned out by someone backing a truck up to it and taking everything. Some of the vermin hit our house too and stole the stereo system my older brother had bought in Japan when he was on leave from his tour in Vietnam.

I have no idea what the rural area is like now since I've been away for so long. The vermin are more mobile and able to communicate these days. Cellphones didn't exist back when I lived on the farm. ”Œ( à²*_à²*)”˜
