It's funny when the southern states finally ranks favorably in a poll it's "Ignorance is Bliss", not "Ok, we admit it, you redneck southroners are happier than us!"

It's like... we are happy but will still shoot you.

I know the PC police will bash me, but the violence in the south is mostly confined to very poor and heavily black areas, it's not everywhere. That would be like judging the entire midwest on what you see on the south side of Chicago, it's just not realistic.

The Mississippi bashers just don't cut Mississippi any slack. I do believe they lie awake at night planning the next bash.

I know really, I'm just glad I wasn't suckered by their ways of thinking, MS may be my home one day.

born in greenville, moved to starkville now in columbus. southerners PRETEND to like you so they put on a smile desperately holding on to the idea that southern states are the hospitality states. give me a break! too much old money around here to move forward. lets add in straight up racism right below the surface. mississippians have something up the you know what and refuse to pull it out. we're slowly killing ourselves and we won't admit it. can't wait to leave.

I have a question, if people hate living in MS so much then why join CD to bash it at every opportunity? (You know who you are)

Just seems a bit sad that every time I am on here there is always something negative, it gets old.

Ok let's be honest here people, Mississippi it NOT happy be no stretch of the imagination. and Those that think so are in a delusional state of mind. Now, I love Mississippi, I was born and raised in Jackson and I can't say I was ever "happy" about how I lived in Mississippi with all the ignorance and racism, but I was "happy" that I was at least alive.
but that's all some people in Mississippi want... ...nothing...and that makes them "happy" ..
not me. I need more than that.

I think people who bash Mississippi are validated in their bashing and it's actually the people of Mississippi that need to realize that "Mississippi, WE HAVE A PROBLEM" ...and get to the business of fixing it so you won't feel ashamed and slighted when somebody throws a hurtful remark at our state. it just shows that they are right when you get all mad about people bashing Mississippi.

Truth Hurts.
