Show me some hard evidence... BTW, are you from a small, rural town? THINKing that something is true may or may not make it so.
Example -- I think you are a stupid bitch. I think you don't know what you are talking about. I think you are so self-righteous that I want to shove Kum-ba-yah down your throat.
I may or may not have evidence to back this up. But, saying so doesn't prove my theory...
Wait... I come from a small, rural town where increasing migration has eroded the small-town ties and is sending us all to hell in a handbasket, right? You are talking out of your ASS.
