You live in an enlightened, civilized and reasonably tolerant part of the world. Of course you're puzzled by this.

well, i know that, i'm not puzzled that much
it's just that several folks on this board have been very vocal about how U S A is better at everything then everyone else
especially when it comes to FREEDOMŽ and having the best rights and what not ... liberally quoting the Constitution about everything... yet folks get beat up for having a different idea about something ( isn't that what drove the original Immigrants from Europe ... To the new lands in the first place?? persecution???
getting fired over a bumper sticker??

You're either like them or you aint - and if you aint you're an object of suspicion at best - but more likely derision - and possibly even violence.
Different world.

now we have some rural areas too, and folks from those parts don't like citysclickers and big mouths to much either, yet they are more of the "stand back and watch the circus" way of dealing with oddness... eg , laissez-faire...
