"I can wear shorts and flip flops all year". They don't like wearing clothes.
What precisely is wrong with this?
I could quite easily turn this the other way and ask why people in the Midwest would want to be stuck in that godawfully uncomfortable winter gear for so much of the year - are they trying to cover up the fat rolls from all of that Cinci chili and Chicago deep dish pizza??
damnn. do you have nothing better to do then waste cyberspace with your unnecessary remarks?
Agreed.
I left Michigan 22 years ago. I don't have a very pleasant view of the state, particularly the Detroit area. And yet, you don't see me on the Michigan forum lambasting people there for their bad taste in remaining in what I personally consider to be a dull, economically moribund state with an intolerable climate. If people are happy there, more power to them. I would never live in that state, or the Midwest, again, but I understand why so many people desire to remain there.
Perhaps it is because I'm comfortable with my own life choices, so I don't feel the need to constantly chastise others for theirs?
OK, it's gotten ridiculous now. It's one thing to genuinely prefer denser, more walkable urban cores, but criticizing people because of climate choices and even assigning them to sub-human categorizations is just plain stupid, inane, and immature and I don't care where the hell you live.

Odd arguements floating around on here, but whatever. Time to settle this.
Okay, I'm not sure about the nudity arguement, but yeah, you have no ground on the fat arguement. The south is the land of supersizing, covering stuff in gravy, "old-fashioned home cooking! With fresh lard off of that there cow!!!!!!", obesity, and a general attitude that does not promote physical exercise. (again, the definition of Suburbia on many accounts). Also, the south is the only place you can find high-lard chains like Rally's (or Checkers) and Hardee's still in existence, or doughnut shops that were not killed by the health crazes of the 1990's. Heck, the last time I drove through NC, I stopped off at Arby's for breakfast and got BISCUTS AND GRAVY for breakfast, which is barely even available in Ohio, much less at fast-sood restraunts that offer limited breakfast selections, just to give y'all an idea.....
Houston is also consistently ranked as the nation's fattest city, and one viewing of "Super Size Me" will tell you why, and other southern cities, such as Atlanta, Dallas, and Nashville frequently follow suit. Still, I guess we got Philly, so ..... yeah. Take that and run with it.
Disclaimer: Yes, the north is also home to vast amounts of suburbia and fat people. I realize that and I am not attacking the south, I am just simply suggesting the fat road is one that ould not be wise to go down. Economics and politics always seem to work better....
