Reply #39: You're assuming too much from what I said. [View All]

Based on the conversations going on in this thread, I can see how you interpreted what I said. I'm speaking generally. Generally, my experience has been that I cannot relate to most people around here. When I spoke of "mentality", I meant that most people I meet around here have different priorities than what I am accustomed to. For example, religion is incredibly important to most people around here. Where I was raised it wasn't as important for some reason. I don't think southern priorities happen to be promoting lack of education, poverty, fear, and racism. The only thing I was trying to say is that I don't think I fit in down here. I'm sure if I had grown up here, I would love it.
