Isn't the bible belt the mid west? That's what I always thought.

I'm from the NE and have always been from here but these kinds of comments are the reason why Bush won the election. If the "yankees" keep telling the south and midwest that they are ignorant God loving racist, hicks you can wave good bye to the democratic party cause there's more of them than liberal northerners.

I think a lot of people from the south think everyone from the north acts like those hot shot wall street bankers and hollywood celebrities (all about money, gucci, versace, nice cars, materialism, crazy parties and no values) and folks from the north see folks from the south as completely uneducated backwoods rifle totin ku klux klan members. There's more the same than different.

Folks down south tend to have more traditional family values, they tend to be more tight knit with their neighbors. And if someones got a problem with you, they got a problem with your whole neighborhood. I'm not Christian and I don't really like the church or organized religion all that much but I won't deny that they can be very good influences on some people and they do a lot of community service. And if it makes folks better people than I got no problem with that.

Without the south we wouldn't have soul food, or cajun food and man that'd suck. Fried chicken, fried catfish, jambalaya and gumbo. mmmmmmm

We got assholes and idiots all over the US and all over the world but most normal folk are much more similar than different. They want their kids to be safe, to earn an honest living, have a bit of fun, get married to the girl or guy they love, they want a nice place to live. SO I could care less if they like country and I like rap, the important stuff is more similar than different.
