Unless you are walking around in Boston.......don't make eye contact and smile at people.

I spent a few weeks in Boston awhile back and people were so rude. I was walking down the street and I would smile at someone as I past them on the street and no one would smile back. I smiled at this one guy that I passed on the street and he yelled at me and said, "What are you looking at...faggot?"

I've never been exposed to so many rude people in my life than when I spent those few weeks in Boston.......must be an eastern thing. I grew up in MN and now live in CA.

hey demian that is a city thing, if u leave the city head to the suburbs get out of the rats nest and people get nicer u usually dont have to go to far out. In philly people are rude as hell but once u get outside of philly people all of a sudden get a hellof alot nicer, the best way around all that is just move to texas. although people can be rude in the cities here too.

No, I have spent a lot of time in cities......I think there is just a bunch of assholes out east in that area....

I did drive out of Boston like you said.......

I got so fed up with how rude everyone was in Boston that I just had to get out of town for awhile so I drove my VW camper van down the coast outside of town a bit. I parked on this beach and was enjoying watching the ocean and the sound of the waves. These cute girls walked up to my van and were flirting with me and smiling at me and they asked me if i wanted to go to this bonfire with them - I said sure. They said to follow them in the car so I did and then when we were on this bridge crossing an inlet my van couldn't make it up the hill and was driving funny. The bitches had let the air out of my VW van tires while they were flirting with me and my rear tire was ruined. My jack was missing the wrench so I walked for miles to this repair garage and asked if I could borrow a wrench and offered to leave a credit card and a deposit. The guys in the garage were total jerks and were making fun of me. I drove back to Boston and parked in front of a parking meter and went in the back of my van to grab some change for the meter and then as soon as I opened the door to feed the meter the cop was putting a parking ticket on my window and I had just ****ing parked and they wouldn't cancel the ticked because they said it was already printed.

I couldn't leave that whole area fast enough......

Just out of curiosity, how do you decide who's groceries to pay for at Walmart. Does it depend on what they have in their cart or do they have to look kind of poor? Does anyone ever get offended and say "**** you - I can pay for my own groceries"?

It feels to good to be kind to people.....

Yes I wil admit we do a little pre-qualifying. We usually look for kids, diapers milk etc. We have never had anyone ever object. You can learn alot from what is in a persons cart.

Let the military slicing and dicing continue in full force. First Obama axes missle defense while N. Korea launches a long range missle. Next up for slicing, is the cancellation of the F-22 stealth fighter jet. It's estimated that 90,000 US jobs will be lost due to the axing of the F-22. Last time I saw and was part of massive military downsizing was under Bill Clinton. I had bonuses in upwards of $55,000 thrown at me to take an early out from the Army. He sliced and diced the entire military across the board. He made the largest military cuts in US history at the time. He also cut back CIA spending. All Clinton's spending cuts did were help facilitate the 911 attack. The signs leading to the attacks were all there. There was the first Trade Center bombing. Then the Colbat Towers in Saudi, the Marine Barracks, and the USS Cole bombing which all preceeded 911.

Did we not just learn our lesson? Obviously we have a Commander in Chief who is absolutely clueless on what ACTUALLY keeps America safe. And much of the world for that matter. It's our having a strong defense (Military) which translates into the greatest deterent and helps greatly to keep the peace.

Of course they do but pay attention to the people plus you can tell alot by the cart once again and if they fool me then who cares I gave with a good heart.
Edited add on:
I know without a doubt you Demian could go into any grocery store and see the difference between a well to do family and a family who is trying to make ends meet.
