All blanket statements are bad. I have never been treated with the amount of rudeness or intolerance that I received during my 5 years of living in the NE. I was ridiculed for my speech "Who are you, Jethro fuckin' Bodine??!" I never head the "N" word thrown about so much nor seen the hatred of jews that I saw there. Move further north and see exactly how the Canadians view their indigenous people referring to them as drunken Natives. As a southerner and a gentleman I am considered by many to be either too weak minded to be accomplished at anything or expected to be a river boat gambler and an expert shot.

Are the idiots here in 'my country', yes. Would I ever hand it over them? Never.
