The real reason (without apologies) is that the New York Yidden all think they are better than anyone else...oh sorry, they "know" they are better than everyone else. No sense wasting three syllables when they can just ignore you. The cholent is waiting!
First , I would like to point out that there are problems that come from lack of success and there are problems that come as a result of success . For the most part, Brooklyn Jews have problems that come as a result of success. Secondly, In Brooklyn, Frum Jews have so little time that walking to and from Shul might be the ONLY time that they have to do things like talk to their kids or think about the meaning of life. With the above out look, it might be better to do other mitzvos than say GS
Wow there with that broch and using g-d's name. I left chofetz chaim because of the chollent bit and the coldness. But BOTH chassidim and "Jews" can be cold, rude, stuck up, make your life miserable, etc. The problem w/ these arguments is that they're not l'shaym shamayim, albiet neither is mine, but this bear's argument was terrible.
The real reason is trivial: "You would never make it home to the chulent"... It's just impractical. In my experience, it's not a mod-O vs chassidish thing, nor that New Yorkers are cold. It's just the poor effect of living in a dense neighborhood, where being a fellow Jew is too common to be noteworthy.
@aishdasnik I don't know what this guy is talking about, but I've seen PLENTY of Jews saying good shabbos in Flatbush, though Boro Park may be different...
@isimchon This is seriously funny, but dangerous as well. We must be careful of "sinas chinam", its why we are in golles. The writer of this JOKE is quite dry and sarcastic, but also in pain over a perceived coldness. I recon the truth is that its effing hard to live in this world, especially with large families and folks are tired and in their own world on Shabbos... and most are shy too... ;)

Not wishing good Sabbath while passing by other Jews because you are in a higher spiritual level is such BS...
Where do you come up with such nonsense???

Remember Judaism and hasidism are different relgions. Shabbos is a Jewish thing.
