Most Northeasterners i met down here in NC stay here for the longrun while the midwest people who come here tend to move back.

I lived in North Carolina in the 1980s and '90s, and I don't get the simpler part. We worked, my kid got sick, the grass needed to be cut, and the cars maintained. In that respect, it was the same as the place that we moved from and the one that we to moved to when we left.

There was a lot more snow up north, but that just meant that I gave up skiing when we moved to Eastern NC. I knew what to do with snow, but there's not much that you can do about ice storms. I loved visiting my parents in PA in July or August because it was cooler, especially in the evening.

That's interesting bc you also said SC is a Confederate state and not cool.

I agree people in Clemson are friendly. That wasn't my point. I was responding to another person who acted like people in south would hold him up.

I'm not sure how those things correlate.

Aren't friendly people cool

They come to live in conservative states that don't tax them to death. Then when they get here they demand the things they had where they used to live not realizing that they and their demands are the reason their taxes were high.

I don't think that is true for most people who move to south, especially republican.

I lived in Maryland and nj for awhile and did not see anything superior to the south.

Those aren't states that really represent southern norms.

I don't see how living in either of those states would prove anything about living in "the south." But the implication is "been there, done that." No.

I think CV meant that there was nothing in MD or NJ that he found was superior to the South.
