The south is also the reason illegal immigrants are so rampant. Border states allow practical amnesty and even accept the mexican peso.

Hi. There was quite a lot of information on those links, heehee...lol.
Why did you post it though with such bad links and it cost you 5 points?? I know the redeeming thought was there, but we'd like to see the information that backs up your claim.
As far as only the south bringing down the nation, no, not only the south is guilty of this. I live in the northwest and we've got our big share of losers here too. There is a collaborative effort of low-lifes; both north and south.
Blah..

I'm not too crazy about some of the backward attitude of some southerners. I live here and was raised here, yet there still is an air of ignorance lingering. Despite your statistics, however, there are a lot of good hearted people, intelligent people, and helpful people. To lump us into one big group is silly.

In the UK it is the Midlands, Bradfordistan, Wiganistan, those places. I was there, like downtown Baghdad.

I agree the south and midwest are where most of the religious nuts and neo-cons come from.

The source of our problems are ignorant racist individuals who would rather tear down instead of build ignorance at its best

Racism too. I have noticed that it is more prevalent in the south.

You must really be a racist. All of these states have the highest percentage of blacks. They fought a war to prove that Yankees were better than blacks, and lost. Would you kill all the blacks to improve your statistics?
