Comments on: Cultural Differences https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/05/08/cultural-differences/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 12 May 2007 01:09:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/05/08/cultural-differences/comment-page-1/#comment-26209 Sat, 12 May 2007 01:09:21 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/05/08/cultural-differences/#comment-26209 Those yahoos over in Santa Rosa county get carried away, but they can be brought up short if you know their families. A call to a couple of older ladies will get you an apology every time. They’re dumb, not evil.

To some extent they feel left behind by the growth and all of the new people coming in to the area. They were happy being country people, but their way of life is gone. The sewing factories are gone and you can’t make it on a small farm.

Some of the people you are apt to see in the woods in Santa Rosa county are AF Special Forces with their stupid paintball club. They were asked to leave the Eglin reservation for making a mess, so I’ve heard they go to Blackwater now.

The good ol’ boys are just north of me, and that kind of stuff makes me nervous. They really would start drinking and then start shooting.

If anyone deserves the description “terrorist,” those guys do. I’m glad the other group did not obtain guns, but really, which deserves more attention from a legitimate media in a free society? Something is very wrong in the way our media reports such incidents.
