Well, I think we just have a "cultural" difference indeed. You see, where I come from, people will nod thier head at you & say "hello". I have been to NY myself & I am not jealous... it is a fine place though... I am proud to have NY as a part of our history.
The difference is that when in NY if you look at someone, before you can ever say "hello" you will get a prompt "WHAT THE f_CK ARE YOU LOOKING AT!!!???" No offense, but you should stay right where you are.... at least you can blame your attitude on your culture some... or maybe you are just a sad & angry little man.
To be honest, at this point no one even cares about your issue when you go around insulting the good people who frequent here.... "BUDDY".
