Wow. My first day on this site poking around and this really hits home. My Grandparents live in that trailer park.

I guess I'll be calling them tonight!

This is so tragic. :(

Men are men. Big tough brutes. Doing manly things. In trucks. With large dogs. And power tools. ;)

But deep inside, very insecure, lacking confidence and without a deeper meaningful rounded personality. Vaucous, dull, tiresome, belligerent, self centred, and very irritating.

The very symptom of North American culture.

So, as a single woman I should stick to the towns......?:unsure:

iaink I was listening.:o

I was amazed at the stereotypes, and perhaps should've said so. From my experience as a single woman in urban England, Canada may be different but I doubt it's any worse? Agree totally on the questionable statistics, and as was rightly said, rape is notoriously difficult to compare across jurisdictions because a lot is down to how many are reported?

Okay?
