I live in a small community of about 2500.
We are mostly Anglo Saxon .
However we have our token South Africans our token Slavs , Chinese,Asians, Aboriginals , and so on .
We have a selection of gays lesbians .
About the only thing your not allowed to be is a pedophile.
We are unsophisticated rednecks, yet we all seem to accept one another and get along .
If you muck up in a town like this we all find out, and you are an open book. which keeps everyone responsable for their own actions .
There is no room for bigotts where I live.
Unlike yahoo answers, where the not so bright can hide behind a keyboard and sprout superiority to those beneath themselves
Yahoo has taught me to be happy with my Redneck world. Here I am safe , and so is everyone else.
I have also learnt in comparrison to the self rightiouse that frequent this site I am a good person .
So thanks for the lesson.

I live in a town just like yours, right here in the bible belt...you do something, most everyone will know about it....but we don't have "token" people....we just have People that live here...Not everyone on this site professes to be smarter, or more worldly....some like myself just enjoy reading the questions and answers, and sometimes from experience in life, maybe my answer may make someone feel good about themself, when they are having a hard time...before you accuse those of us who do participate here of being self righteous, maybe you need to learn how to spell first!.

Being content in one's community is important. However, trying to stir emotions in a place you are at online is just wrong. The way you artfully described the place you live was a little...well you know:)

I'm sure you're a good person and not all members of yahoo are evil. Its just a way to say things you'd otherwise be afraid to say.
Genuine people like you are hard to find any where.
