The other day I attended a meeting of a local agriculture group that was entertaining a group of male Greek farmers who are on some type of tour in the US. Because of the time of year, most of the farmers here are in the fields harvesting so they sent thier wives so the majority of the people there were female of various ages. The Greeks would only talk to the men about the subject matter & were either rude or obnoxious to the women depending on the womans age it seemed. Just rude to older ones and overly attentive & obnoxious to the young. It was annoying to say the least. After the visitors left the government offical who was babysitting them explained that it had to do with thier culture. I don't understand that----rude is rude no matter what the culture is. Anyone know something about this?
