To all the non-Southerners

[mountain muscle]

I don't know what a southern view is honestly, I grew up in Colorado and North Dakota. Went to High School in Missouri. But Missouri had by far the most silly racists I have yet to encounter. God forbid I had a Chicano and Black as my best friends.

I've always wondered, how do people who have never lived in/visited the South, view people from there? Do you think they are all a bunch of dumb, bumbling rednecks? I'm just wondering. I, being from Mississippi, living half my life in MN have a northern and southern view on all things. Let me hear what you think.

This should sum it up best....

Me: from NYC

Lived in GA for a few years, also LA. Spent time all over the dirty south...every state down here dozens of times. Now, split my time between North FL, South FL and NYC.

People down south are (in my experience, so fuck off)

1. more churchgoing
2. less friendly (southern hospitality is a complete lie)
3. less educated
4. can drink northerners under the table
5. more fun to party with (if you ain't got no job, it never has to stop, does it, Bubba?)
6. more materialistic (never seen people try to "get ahead" like that in NY)
7. About 16 IQ points lower on average.


It's fun down there....to visit, not to live.

Probably more rednecks here in the north than in the south. I love the south...lots of good people down there. My favorites are Kentucky, Georgia, and Virginia. Making a new friend in the south takes all of about 5 minutes...here in the north it takes like 5 years.

You can visit all over Louisiana and it varies from parish to parish.

Matt, didn't you stay in Cameron or something? Monroe?
I can't remember where you said you stayed but I know it wasn't the most pleasant of LA towns.

Its like any other State, It varies from person to person and city to city.

I've traveled to a few states and I will have to disagree with Matty about Southern Hospitality. The town in which I live, the majority of the people are friendly. I can't imagine not greeting someone while walking down the street. Opening and holding the door for people. Lending a hand in the Grocery store to the lil ol' lady that can't quite reach the Depends.

I didn't see that hospitality in the majority of cities I visited. Sure there were some, just not what I am used to here in my town.

My travels aren't vast... I'm just commenting on my personal experience.

Louisiana is its own planet.

That's not even part of the South, or of the US, or of Earth. Louisiana is like no place else.

I lived in Crowley for a while, also New Orleans for some time. Spent a lot of time in Acadia Parish...actually got to know most of everything between Lafayette and Lake Charles.

Some beautiful women down there, but you gotta get them young.
