Rural or city roots makes little difference. What's inside a man does.
I beg to differ, slightly.
Growing up in a rural, versus urban area makes a huge difference in what your exposed to - which then plays a large part in who you are. Your environment/stimulation is paramount.
What I mean is, if you constantly see hogs slaughtered on a daily basis as a kid... then it's not gonna bug ya much to watch the video (usually)...
A kid, growing up in a more urban environmentmight be a tad more disturbed by the video mostly due to his lack of experience with animals, and wild-life in general.
*For sake of argument both kids received the same moral/ethical/value oriented upbringing.
What's inside the man (character) is what you develop in response to the right and wrong around you, and your interrpretation of the same - I
think this is what you meant by that anyway - and I'd agree.
I
wasn't associating "redneck" with farmer... I
was however associating a rural up-bringing with the "indifference" you mention with relation to farmers (read farm life, read rural up-bringing).
I believe this "indifference", which is so often brought on by a rural up-bringing, is what makes some of us on this board think "no biggie" with relation to the video.
I hope you see the difference, and also know it wasn't a jab to farmers or anyone for that matter.
