Would you agree that it's probably time for a rule or policy that specifically deals with blatant mockery, name calling and offensive or demeaning stereotyping of "The South" or any other particular region of the country?
I haven't been here all that long but from what I can tell, others view this as a problem and being that I'm in a part of the country that is on the receiving end of the broadbrushing, I can totally understand why.

1. This stuff is almost always subjective
If you see someone mocking a particular region of the country, feel free to alert on the post so that the moderators can check it out.

2. If they check it out, they will find out that it's not against the rules.

The south is the most horrorible place in the world to live. Iran, North Korea, Cuba, any place is better than the south. STAY IN YOUR BLUE STATES PEOPLE...they have the best freebies any way....and since we pure liberals pay little to no taxes, they are all free to us.
I repeat, DO NOT MOVE TO A SOUTHERN RED STATE. THEY ARE HELL. STAY IN YOUR BLUE STATES.
DO any of you other southerners want to add anything to that?

All states below the Mason Dixon line are full. You are more than welcome to join our waiting list and we will get back to you in about 40 years.

We eat grits and listen to country music, we are bitter clingers and a big ol' bunch of us are Conservative and we talk funny. You wouldn't like it here.

The public transportation here sucks. Better stay where you are.

Plunge yourselves in the Great Lakes about 5 miles off shore in January.

Can I come South? I promise to be decent and civilized. Also rock-ribbed.

I hope they keep making fun of the South. Maybe the thin-skinned liberals will move back North and West.

The South is hot as hell, too friendly, the pace is as slow as a snail, people drive like they have all day to get somewhere. Always trying to get to know you, all in your business like they're family.
Once you come, you're stuck. You never want to be stuck. Plus it's full of conservative people. Not the kind you can convert. Hard headed son of a guns.
There is nothing here you'd like, NOTHING. :-)

I would continue to keep the welcome mat out for the steady stream of CEOs who have been moving here, bringing along their headquarters and factories, for the past thirty years or so.

I wish you southerners would STFU about how good it is down here! :banghead:

This caught my attention in the comments section:
This article is total BS.

Agreed. This is clearly some paid-shill nonsense that doesn’t have a lick of truth in it.
Don’t believe the article. It’s all lies. Every bit. I can’t stress that enough. Lies. As are almost all of the posts except for that one that Bigot Ernie wrote and the one from the “I visited once and didn’t like it†guy. They’re right. 100%. It’s horrible down here. Teeming with meanness and stinkiness and bad food and ugly women. The best thing for you to do is shake your head in pity as you fly over us and say a little prayer of thanks that you live somewhere that’s so nice that you’d be a fool to leave and you know it.

That's how I'd have answered.

I will agree that the south is horrible (I lived in SC for a year and traveled the region for several years).
Bugs? You have never seen. So many fleas, their fleas have fleas. Fire ants, sugar ants, and camel crickets are the stuff of nightmares. Mildew grows where no mildew should.
And the northern rockies are the same, in a different way. (Sorry, I have to keep plugging it.)

We all say "God bless you" a lot! And "Merry Christmas." And we often offer to pray for you. Sometimes we will even pray for you without you knowing it.
We also put up the US flag every chance we get. Some of us has the US flag up all the time.
Oh! And I still see the 10 Commandments in some of the courthouses around here.
