I'm sure you are a perfectly kind person... things like this just get people fired up. <br /><br />I just wish everyone could just remember to be kind to each other.

I guess I"m just ashamed of some of my folks around here because southern hospitality is known for a reason...when did we get so rude?

In fact, I've encountered more kindness and hospitality where I live in NW Washington than I did in the 2 years I lived in North Carolina. There are stereotypes for people everywhere... there are assholes in the north AND the south... and claiming that the people up north are spreading their lack of manners like some disease makes you a hypocrite.<br /><br />Furthermore, if you want the people where you live to show more "southern hospitality" then start (or continue) leading by example. Teach your children some manners & be kind to others around you. (I didn't mean that directly to any of YOU... just "y'all" in general.)Danyelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417549688061001167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267870613913412839.post-53428290054900770202011-09-26T11:16:22.617-05:002011-09-26T11:16:22.617-05:00The Southern Hospitality has gone because there ar...The Southern Hospitality has gone because there aren't enough parents that still care to teach their children manners. It started up North and has slowly worked it's way down. <br /><br />Do you remember hearing about a little boy that was found in New Jersey or somewhere up North? The news people said that he couldn't tell them where he was from but they knew it was from the South. Why? Because he had manners.<br /><br />I've noticed that people are in such a hurry - let's get here. Oh no! We have to be over there, RIGHT NOW! Too many people think that they are the only person that counts, the only person that is of value and the only person that is worthy of respect. And by golly, they want that respect without doing anything to earn it.<br /><br />Okay, I'm going to get off my soapbox. I'm just rambling anyway. ;-)Amy Baileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942746156202689012noreply@blogger.com
