On the real, I'm from Florida (that whole thing about Florida not being southern, is only true to some extent, because I'm from Central florida and them **** out there talk with straight southern drawls) and I used to spend summers in Alabama, so the whole thing about the south moving slower is so true. When I went to DC, I got my feelings hurt, cuz if you don't step on the gas soon as that light turns green, you got 10 cars behind you already honking and cussing you out. I know even in Florida, we'll give you a second, and give a light honk, but damn. So to say that the south, from my experience, doesn't move slower than the north is ridiculous. Hell, I like it slow.

Thanks for being REAL. Yall makin slow-paced a negative thing... Just because someone is commenting about it doesn't mean they are tryna demean the south. Im always in Atlanta, and though it is a nice, well-developed city with a tinge of a cosmopolitan atmosphere... It still has that southern drawl, its laidback, and very spread out. It seems like a bunch of suburbs instead of a city. But thats because Im used to everything being on top of everything rather than spread out. The new reason why I like the north better than the south is because there are too many insects... weird, nasty insects. I won't say I don't care for it because it is slow-paced anymore since it seems to get yall riled up.

look, the bottom line is the majority of the people from the north are gonna think the south is slower paced and different when they visit it.thats just how a lot of people are gonna feel esp if your comin from chicago, detroit,ny,etc, .i know for a fact that there is more of what a lot of people would call "southern hospitality" in the south, thus the name and thats one of the reasons why i like the south.... but the fact of the matter is, THINGS ARE DIFFERENT.thats just how it is if youre coming into a new enviroment that youre not used to.get over it and move on....

Well can someone explain this "slow enviroment" everyone speaks so avidly about??? I just don't see how everyone can generalize that the ENTIRE southern region of the country is "slow-paced"...I mean have y'all been to every southern state??? Maybe y'all just went to the rural areas because I don't think that generalization is true
Have you been up north? If not you wouldnt understand why she would make that comment. I have not been to every single southern state but I have been to most...and I can say the general pace down south is much slower than the north. Im not saying slow is bad....but it does exist down south....Until you been to NY, NJ, Philly, Boston, etc...and compare them to large commercial cities in the south such as ATL, Charlotte, Montgomery, etc...you will notice that the larger up north cities just are much more faster paced than the southern ones. In my experiences the south is just alot more relaxed and slow paced with walking, driving, talking, etc....which is the complete opposite of the north. And like I said...Im not saying slower is bad...Im just saying it definitely exists.

Thatz exactly what im asking Megan even though for some reason she smoothly got around answering that, But that goes for anybody, if u have only lived in the south all ur life, how the hell can u tell me the south isnt slower than the north? wat the fukk is that? and then, like i said b4, if you have lived in both the south and the north, im positive you have your own opinions about the north that i may not agree with.
