Well, I think you just take it personally, but it is the truth, just probably not in the way that you probably think. I am not from NY but I kno they prolly do say things like that. It's like this...on a general scale, since the civil war, the south has been behind economically and in many ways such as technology and education. So overall, the poverty level and illiteracy level is a whole lot lower in the south than it is in most other regions. That's why the cost of living in the south is much lower than in places like LA NY Chicago and others.
So don't take it as a personal insult. Just be happy that you are from the south and you are at the same level as everyone else in other regions.

^Agree to disagree.
Did you go to the South a have a bad experience or something cause I've noticed that you always have a somewhat negative comment about the south or southerners.

LOL What? Me?? When do I ever have negative comments to say about the south? Please find those threads n comments and show em to me because whatever I say is just an unbiased observation of the truth.
I go to FAMU so I've been around a whole lot of southerners, and like I always say...I have a lot of positives and negatives to say about them...the same way I have a lot of positives and negatives to say about people back in LA.
I still don't think I am sayin anything negative by saying a truth that the south as a whole is behind, because MANY MANY people have said it. I only realized it and began to say it when my history teacher explained us how things happened after that war. I just think you get offended hearin that and you don't agree with it because you aren't seein it in the same way that we are. WE ARE NOT INSULTING THE SOUTH! WE ARE NOT SAYING EVERY PERSON IN THE SOUTH IS BEHIND EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE COUNTRY!!!
