I have no idea where you are from Lyle. Somewhere in the states.

And it doesn't make me sleep better at night. Because I kinda like you, and I do know you are usually using it in jest. And to stir the pot.

I think we all do it to some degree, for we will have differing perceptions based on our geographical locations. Thus affecting our experiences. And I don't mind personally being ribbed for being Canadian, and the occasional joke at my age...goodness knows I deserve it, as I give out as much if not more then anyone I know on here in terms of pressing buttons. I guess sometimes it bothers me though, the age deal, more then anything.

I didn't ask to be smart for my age. I didn't ask to be born where I am. But here I live, and I am what I am. And this goes for everyone. And so our thoughts and opinions should not be judged on thoses circumstances alone, which are beyond our control. I don't think the United States gets a fair shake either with the wide brush strokes made from people around the world. Or maybe people from the south that you elude to. I know I don't see them that way.

So maybe if it bothers you that people label you that way, then I can understand that. For I get it too, for both the same and different reasons. And maybe if we focus on doing it a bit less personally, then maybe there will be a bit less of it to go around. Then maybe our ideas will hold more merit and be taken more seriously.
