I am very interested in your qualifications to speak so knowingly and with such authority on all things Southern lately.

Please elaborate as to your expertise on this particular subject matter.

I have travelled all over the country and have lived in a few places. I am the type to mind my own business so I don't go out seeking people's views on this stuff. It was apparent to me when going thru the south.

I choose my words carefully and those were the things southerners tried to drag out of me.

Sorry, but your extremely broad, over generalized statements of late have absolutey no basis in my reality - and I have lived here AND traveled the country longer than I suspect you have been alive. I am also originally from the Midwest.

If I'm not mistaken, you've claimed in the past to have gone to school in Atlanta. At this point, I simply don't believe you based on your recent over the top pronouncements.

I never stated I went to school in Atlanta.

It's my opinion. You are free to express yours as well. Welcome to America.

Well, thank you. Welcome yourself!

And sorry, but you have crossed the line from opinion to open, raw hatred of late. Hardly the same thing.

Of course, this is nothing more than MY opinion.
