I would think a lot of those differences could be attributed to fairly small communities with little if any high density urban areas.I have noticed that almost without fail most of the real problems occurring in this world are in very densely populated urban areas. Too many people too close and the pot starts boiling.

Just curious.

I was born and raised in a very different culture than the US mainland.

I'll start - "things I see as normal that will get you arrested here":

1.) All the beaches are topless and around a third are clothing optional so when I think "swimming", I see people with no clothes on (yes, myself included).

2.) There are almost no public bathrooms so relieving one's self behind a bush is perfectly normal. Just be considerate and kick out a hole first and cover it when you're done.

3.) There are no age laws for alcohol....hell, there are no alcohol laws of any type. Drinking wine at 6 and liquor at 12-13 is normal to me.

4.) Picking your nose in public while talking to someone is normal to me. May not get you arrested but it will DAMN SURE cause a stir here.

5.) Walking into someone else’s house unannounced is normal to me as long as you know the person who lives there. This REALLY upset my wife at first.

6.) You never ever ever ever ever ever ask someone about religion. This shocked the living snot out of me to begin with but I have finally gotten a little more used to it. Again - not arrested but damn sure shunned if you don't answer some form of Christian.

7.) Block parties every week with everyone included is normal to me. This involved people of all colors, ages and socio economic status. This does get the cops called when it happens on a Tuesday - lol.

8.) Sharing everything and anything with friends and neighbors is normal to me. It still seems to shock my neighbors when I walk over with half a pie, a big old sandwich, half a ham, fresh fish or game or whatever. Will not get you arrested and seems to earn way more good will than I think it deserves.

pants hanging off there ass,entitlement mentality,lack of morals,no respect for authority etc

Shocking and nasty, I have a couple of older black friends who will never eat any food with red sauce like spaghetti, lasagna, etc that was cooked by a woman that's not their wife or woman close to them. I asked why and they told me that some women will cook their menuastration in with the spaghetti and if you eat it, you are hooked and all you can think about is her.
