Why do small town people have small minds?

I also came from a small town, but then moved to San Francisco of all places what a contrast.  Big cities are all full of escapees from middle America.  Seems there is always an inner feeling of doing better, seeing things, getting involved with culture.  Some people have it some dont.   There are people who are content being small town.  Some are jelous of the ones who left, and yes some are ignorant only because they play on sterotypes and what they see on tv.  I was always driven to big city life as some are.  I really think its an inner voice telling you to get out of town before you die of stagnation.  But, dont put the average small town person down because they are doing what comes natural to them, maybe a fast pace and learning arent their bag, just having a job and family in a quiet place suits them.  As for ignorant people, stay away from the troublemakers, but just let the others be who they are.  Go back to the city, have your double latte and just be who you are....

Because most people are stupid and don't think too much.

Oh it is just one of those annoying little things that make you more intelligent. You become better able to comprehend the world you live in and to assimilate information. You can then begin to form an opinion or understanding with just a little more information. It is sort of like being able to speak well, or spell. It is nice to be able to communicate clearly with others.You can avoid a wide assortment of problems with a little knowledge.

Tiny towns usually don't have too much to offer in the way of webpages, unfortunately. Here are a few things I turned up. Hope it helps!

Because they like fame and power - maybe some people think than they can make a difference and help people - but they are either very few or get lost along the way.\n(Or maybe they can't hold a real job!!)

My interpretation is that it means if you live in a village everyone will know you, but you will not know much about the rest of the world.  If you live in a city, no one will know you, but you may know a lot about the world.  An interesting perspective, but not necessarily totally true in my opinion.

Everyone has a brain, just some people use theirs more than others.

probably becuase that's where future players are grown. Or becuase many minor league teams were in small farming communities.

Some people are not that smart. Or just lazy.\nYou have to remember, if you take the average person you must realize that half of the population is dumber than thay are.

It's all about hormones.\nA natural, God-given chemical that makes us think with the little head...not the big one.

There are so many places across the United States!  Find a small little town, where everyone knows everyone!  That's where I live, and I love it!

In a way, yes. It is the wisdom of your experiences. If someone doesn't act in their own best interest, or if they don't understand the simplest wisdom, we say they don't have "common sense". Another way of putting it is "They just don't know stuff that normal people should know." The more that you communicate with your local community, the more common wisdom you will have and spread around. As we get more isolated behind books and computers, we lose a lot of our 'common' sense of things that even "common people" would know.
