Lived all my life in Karachi, Pakistan. With a population of more than 20 million, Karachi is one of the most populous cities in the world.

Since it's sort of a business hub for Pakistan, people from all cities have made their home here. It has a very diverse population and it is often called a "Mini-Pakistan" because of this reason.

Hey, wait....not all FL is rude! I was raised there. It's all the newcomers that make it feel that way! :-)
JoAnn,Wondering back to the entire context of my post.
Most of what we are seeing now, in Central FL, are the tourists that come in.........mostly the snowbirds. The reg tourists are thrilled to be in our beautiful area. BUT, the snowbirds are some of the most hateful people I have ever been around. They are just hateful to everyone. Disrespectful, really. I know it happens everywhere........but gosh........it's like we are seeing more and more unhappy people.
While listening to local news lately, they have been commenting at how trashed our beaches are being left. People get up, gather their belongings and leave all their trash - INCLUDING cig butts - just laying in the sand.
How long will these beautiful beaches stay beautiful????
Can't we all just get along?????

Ter'e, that is a very sad commentary. Why can't people respect our diminishing sources of natural beauty? Why can 't people be kind to one another?
