If you go out thinking you're going to run into "ugly Americans" that's exactly what you'll find. There have always been a few rude people in every circumstance and always will be. Once you start thinking they are in the majority and you start globalizing, i.e. all the handicap spaces are always taken up by people without placards - then the world becomes as you perceive it, not necessarily the world as it really is.
I shop in Walmart all the time. Folks in there seem mostly normal to me. With that in mind - most of the population in this country lives in urban areas. What sort of stereotypical thinking do you suppose they would be guilty of if someone asked them to formulate an opinion about a bunch of country folk who sit around on their computers and jabber on about their tractors? Do you think you would be viewed as intellectual or forward-thinking? Or more likely as just a bunch of hicks who ride around on their tractors in their pajamas?
I'm thinkin they would think we shop at Walmart........but for the record......I don't own any pajamas and you don't want to know what I wear when on the tractor.....lets just say....it ain't pretty!:laughing:
