I'm willing to take my chances with the decrease in agriculture in order to remove the ignorance, bigotry, superstition and overall backwardness so that the U.S. can become truly civilized.

I have been saying this for years. How much better off we would be today if we would just have let them leave. They pay the least amount of taxes and take the most after the money is handed back out to the States, and slavery would have ended on its own once it became more economical for technology to take over in the fields. If that didn't work, they would have been an international pariah like South Africa until they ended it.

Excuse me? As a North Carolinian, I know you wouldnt be so willing to give up the agriculture. Why? You probably like eating food, and a significant amount of it as we all do. Tell me, what ignorance? What bigotry? Your generalizations dont make sense. Are we too religious? Do we take God too seriously? Perhaps we may have too many values for people like you. Sorry, but your question in itself was hateful, bigoted and ignorant. The South isnt all the same. We have liberals, conservatives, athiests, Christians, blacks, whites, well you should get my point.

You know, I'm just a country boy from down south, but your suggestion seems based on bigotry and superstition, and seems pretty ignorant of some basic facts. Facts like racism is a lot more prevalent in the Northeast than it is in the old South.

i've got no longer traveled plenty yet I even have some. What i've got got here upon is a few lack of wisdom and bigotry everywhere. no longer plenty superstition anymore. Backwardness could be a southern purely trait aside from W. Virginia. i will aid you already know what I even have got here upon in the south. pals everywhere. i will circulate practically everywhere in the south (different than the bigger cities) and hit upon a pal as quickly as we meet. i've got no longer got here upon that friendliness everywhere north of the Mason-Dixon Line. maybe that is as a results of fact the Bible-belt runs around the south. If being incredibly civilized capacity no longer being a neighbor to the guy residing next to you, i could somewhat be backward.

You can't be serious! I'm a liberal from Arkansas (and proud of it) and if you honestly think that ignorance, bigotry, and superstition are only found in the South, then you haven't gotten out much!

Bigotry: a characteristic of a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his own.
Pot, meet the kettle.
Isn't liberalism supposed to be a bastion of open-mindedness and tolerance?
Well, real liberalism is. You're just as bigoted as the rest of us, buddy.

I think the South might be better off without the United States. It's booming while the Rust Belt is, well, rusting.
