quote: Originally posted by symmetry:
My trust varies as a function of population density. In cities (ahem London), I don't trust a soul and assume that everyone is a psychopath, the whole lot of them.
Outside of cities (ahem London), I find that the people are generally sterling in terms of politeness and willingness to do a favour. Witness the number and quality of bike locks required in London compared to those in Cambridge (flimsy) and those in a country village (none at all).
This is a common attitude, but I have not found this to be completely true. Most of the times when I have been most appalled by the behaviour of strangers has been outside of big cities, in tiny villages in the English countryside. And usually in small groups too. It may be a territorial thing. Or maybe inbreeding. But country folks are evil. |
