Holy Shit. Can I relate. I live in a place where people look at you sideways if you're polite, kind or otherwise nice. They're trying to figure out what your angle is...
@lemmingoverlord Your username makes me think of a lil lemming king wearing a luxurious cape and a golden crown; standing in front of a throne, and that makes me really happy and I don't know why. I give it a 100/10. It's still good to be kind even when it's not very common where you live. It's a good thing to do and it means a lot to some people and makes you happier; at least in my experience. It has a greater impact than you think. As far as it isn't illegal, go for it. ^.^
Group hug!
