Ox we don't agree on much, but you sincerely know I like you. I sincerely know you tolerate me, and yes, in the south we do respect our elders.

Sadly, in part, of the younger ones that is changing. That was not a racial statement, as we've had yankees moving here for years and they seem to bring their bad traits with them and their snotty nosed offspring that presume to be more cultured than southern rubes. I can say this with as much certainty as anyone, I lived a great part of my life in yankee land.

I'm an old guy myself, but when it comes to my elders, I don't mind being a 12 year old kid again. It's respect.
old people should be taken care of IE not having to work and having support systems, which i dont see or hear yall preaching about.

but usually being old just means youve been dead weight longer than everyone else.

Growing up in the South, you would have thought no adult had a first name. They were either Mr. So and so or Mrs. So and so. We didn’t dare call an adult by their first name, especially a senior. Huge no-no.

You would get that look and it would be from EVERYONE like you just swore and then realize you messed up and apologized immediately. And if you were lucky you wouldn’t have your parents waiting for you when you got home.

unfortunately.

its cold here 8 months a year.

Nice. I think the phrase “budging in line” is hilarious. But I’m easily amused.

I’ve got a neighbor from NY whose little bastard grandson was slapping her in the stomach while we were talking in the yard a couple weeks ago. And she was taking it even though I was openly like “WTF.” I couldn’t believe it was actually happening. My life would have been ended for something like that. Cultural differences, I guess.

Hope you don’t beat up your grandma too, @rickyb .

Yea but cultures do all sorts of silly things like formalities like that on one hand and racism on the other.

We got religious hypocrites too
