Sawmill don't forget those great northern cities like Detroit. That is such a great community I can't believe all the people deserting those urban paradises for the south.

They are becoming wastelands of welfare families, future gang bangers and Acorn Democrats

Pointing the finger at other states isn't going to help improve the very poor reputation of the South. Half the problem is that Southerners are so thin-skinned and defensive.

You can rag on California all you want & I'd probably agree with some of your criticisms but California is not hated for the reasons people hate the South.

BTW, we do not import carrots from China!

Another example why Southerners are mocked. If you can't at least admit that the South is viewed poorly by most Americans than you will never know how to improve yourself.

They almost take glee in the fact that the USA is losing it's manufacturing base centered in the Great Lakes Region. (It's the "liberals" fault don't you know?) It's moving South alright, South of Texas.

If you don't like us, then why are you moving down here? How long do you plan to stay? What percentage of you have left to come down here already?
But...They come in peace.

Have you taken into consideratioin that this is more a demographic issue than anything else? How is Detroit and Inner City New York doing in these areas you mention?

Okay, if your way is better, why aren't you staying up North? How come nobody has answered this part of my question yet? It is extremely hateful for you to threaten to take over an area just because you don't agree with the way of life.

You know, Haiti is a pretty backwards place too. So is Somalia. Have you ever thought of taking those places over?

Of course not. You only harrass white people who happen to be proud of themselves and their heritage and who enjoy holding on to their traditions. You are a very hateful person.

I'm from the Seattle area. I can't, for the life of me, imagine why people would worry about the California influence. I mean...they came here in droves and taught us so much. Now they can leave here for the south and teach them "stuff".

No really...they can go.

What are liberals doing to move this country forward? You bash the South but yet you don't seem to mind flooding this nation with Third World immigrants who are 10 times as backwards. You really are hateful hateful people. If you don't like us, then stay in your own backyard. Something tells me there is more to the story. Jealousy? Why the heck can't you guys just leave us alone?

Yes, let's compare crime rates. The crime rates in Detroit are no different than the crime rates in the black parts of the South.
