I tried that route and got raped on top of it all. It depends on what kind of people you are dealing with whether or not you can get by with your way. Your way may be working for you, but the truth is every day I spend languishing in this hostile environment is another wasted day. It's pointless to live in a place where not just the majority is like that, but so much the majority that even the ones who say they aren't still are. They aren't worth trying to deal with when they aren't people I would want to spend time with any how. You have to live here to know what these people are like. Trust me. You aren't getting my point because you don't know what this bunch is like.
