Its like the other guy said, I really dont care about proper usage and sentence structure(unless one of you guys are hiring for something), as long as my hidden agendas are met in the end.

...and all this time I thought that you were just trying to lure people in to posting emotionally charged, but good/buttery posts about whatever the topic was, but they always got pissed off instead and ruined the flow

'Excerpt From Why Are Southerners So Fat?
By Claire Suddath Time Magazine

'People from Mississippi are fat. With an adult obesity rate of 33%, Mississippi has gobbled its way to the "chubbiest state" crown for the fifth year in a row, according to a new joint report by Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Alabama, West Virginia and Tennessee aren't far behind, with obesity rates over 30%. In fact, eight of the 10 fattest states are in the South. The region famous for its biscuits, barbecue and pecan pies has been struggling with its weight for years — but then again, so has the rest of the country. Wisconsin loves cheese, New Yorkers scarf pizza, and New Englanders have been known to enjoy a crab cake or two. So why is the South so portly?

For one thing, it's poor. Mississippi is not only the fattest state in the nation, but also the poorest, with 21% of its residents living below the poverty line, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Alabama and West Virginia, the second and third fattest states, are tied for fifth poorest. With a poverty rate of 14%, the South is easily the most impoverished region in the country.''

1. His user name is Spaniard, so he may not speak English well.
2. You attack him and you can't even spell grammar correctly

Not to nit-pick or anything LOL!

Umm I think that poster was ridiculing another poster who had those spelling errors, but tried to call out somebody Else's post.

we are different, we have culture, we do research---
it's not about our ability to read or write.
i hear you. all my family is from LA, but we moved and learned
to read. we learned to write. life is good.

Omg, I swear everyone on here better have college degrees with all these so call corrections to grammar and english. If you ask me most people on here are very similar and try to stick with whats politically correct. I hardly ever see any culture on here anyway, I mean seriously what culture, culture of acting like whats acceptable?

I'll speak ebonics and cajun french all day in California, I'll get a job as a banker easily based off on my personality with basic education. I mean if it wasnt for the guy who wears the a ridiculously colorful tie everyday, or maybe the woman who dresses sexy and outlandish at a job what would life be like.....miserable? You'd probably waist time telling everyone how un-American they are and your not stiff, standard,and mild enough.

Most of this thread sounds like its based on education, but education is universal, its not all math and english. It you really wanna put the emphasis on education, try Social Living, which is more mandatory than the grammatical errors you make. what about Humanity, you live im what is known as a melting pot, California and Louisiana has foreign born governors (oh how un-American of us!! )and you cant do anything about it, because you spend more time trying to stay on a false traditional route that may not even be prosperous. For crying out loud, Arnold was a bodybuiler and played in Conan the Barbarian, and he became governor, and again, HE WASNT EVEN BORN HERE!!!! I mean if I really want to be messy I'll line up my Louisiana governor's educational background vs Cali's, but did will it matter?

We all know he didnt win because he was smarter than his candidates, if I can remember hmmm..... didnt a porn star, Gary Colman, and the hustler magazine man all try to run for governor in California............you really wanna talk about education and whats polictally correct?
People dont move to California to be smart, they move there for comfort living. Inspiring actors, dancers, terminators, plastic surgeons, the micheal jacksons of the world, surfers, entertainers, illegal immigrants. Is this what a Southern California graduate associate themselves with, and still have the nerve to compare and contrast? I should start a thread saying why aren't we talking about California so badly?

But.....I dont care, its foolish, because like Michael Jackson said, "We are the world" and no matter whether your rich, poor, from a fat state, or a plastic surgery artificial state, you are significant in your environment. Pro and cons make a ying and a yang, I think the proper term is Balance?!!

Speak bad about whatever you want, Louisiana it may be, I know you cant say you gotta richer history and make a mean gumbo like me!!!

Richer history I dont know, there was the gold rush in Cali oncebut, Mexican ran Cali back then, dont they now though? (oh how un-American of us!! )

[Innotech]

California is filled with some of the most ignorant people in the United states and thats why they come up with some of those famous laws of theirs.
