11. Hateful?

It's not hateful if it's (mostly) true.

50. If I were to post a thread,

that proposed that 'most blacks' or 'most gays' possessed unflattering attributes, how long do you think that thread, or me for that matter, would last around here?

154. Don't pay attention to them. The south

Although beautiful- it's filled with hateful people and that's why we can't win national elections, pass gay marriage, have unions jobs, etc etc etc etc-- education? Let's not go there- the south is like watching a cowboy movie but in real live..there. Yes, we won NC and VA but they were a very closed call and because Obama had a tremendous GOTV effort - his campaign counted on MINORITY, WOMEN and blacks to make the difference- the whites ( not all) were not going to come to us.

So I do agree with your statement. Make it and move on. There will always be whiners in DU.

So...argument invalid.

183. Smokies are ok

I don't belittle it I just think it's funny that they are held up as something special. I am much more a western person with the great vistas. I am sure I have camped in more places in the south than you have. What I mean by intellectual curiosity is you have a much more robust dialogue in other parts of the country like NY, Boston, SF.

Why is it when the primitives refer to the South, they act as if only non-0bama voters live down there?

Isn't it the 0bama voters in the South holding the quality-of-life numbers down?

Yep....but you can't admit that because then that would be racist.

Heh.  No comment, except that; everyone I ever met in the Military from New York, were pretty decent folks.

Correlation?  I think so.

It's the exact same thing here in the People's Soviet Republic of Illinois.  Chicagoland considers, us down here, the same way.  I've lived in both and flat refuse to go back, even to visit the ancestral castle.  They all come down to visit me to escape that rathole.  They can nuke Chicago, for all I care.
