Yes they are friendly but only to other conservative american whites. God forbid if you are a colored person, a foreigner or a liberal. Then they reveal their real selves.
That is certainly not the truth. Just to make a blanket statement like that is really Ridiculous.
I am not red personally, nor blue but consider myself a wishful social leaning lib and live in a red state. They deal with me on a day to day basis just fine. I find we have more in common than we don't. I try and avoid political talks based on banter and stick to the weather, and general issues like gardening, etc. I have little problems. Now, I'm not stupid enough to slap on a bumper sticker on my car or a sign in my yard but other than that it's all good out here in the wild wild west. lol
I like their mind you own business attitude until they don't mind theirs and then we might have a problem. I would love a country run more like France or Germany when it comes to healthcare and retirement, and I'm entitled to my opinion when asked, but if not asked I don't announce it. I'm not rude and if they aren't rude were good to go.
Well that's you opinion and I respect that, but you should know that you are wrong. I am not calling you stupid but you are definitely ignorant to the facts. The people in the South are friendly people and some are prejudiced like people from any location in this great country. We are all more alike than we are different. If you get to travel this country you will find this on your own. Don't rely on what you hear from ignorant people on this board.
Agreed. On City-Data, civilization only exists in the northeastern megalopolis, Chicagoland, and the west coast. Everything in between is dumb, redneck, sisterhumpers. In reality, you can find wealth and poverty in every state. Every state has places of sophistication and gritty places. And to the poster above who said red states disgusted you, in most major cities even in the reddest states you can find hip, trendy, liberal areas full of hipsters and LGBTs. Try visiting Oak Lawn in Dallas, Midtown in Atlanta, Dilworth or NoDA in Charlotte, Montrose in Houston, Midtown Memphis, or even in deep red Oklahoma City you have places like the Paseo and the 39th St Strip.
To stereotype all red states as a scene from Deliverance is extremely ignorant and closed minded.

This red state blue state stuff is a bit silly. Look at just about any election map. You will find with the exception of 5-6 states all states seam to be a red. It just so happens in many states there are blue cities big enough to turn them blue. This tread would be more acurate if the post was are city people scared to drive in the country.
Take Texas for example. Red State yes? Doe's that mean the majority of people in Austin Texas are scared to drive around in their own "red state".
Is it scary to drive through states like Oklahoma or Mississippi?
I imagine road trips are a nightmare for liberals.
I think most likely they are. It seems the red states have more guns then any other states in the union and they are pointed right at them. And the red states know wht they are doing.:rol leyes:
A smart non-white person SHOULD be afraid of driving thru those seriously hickish small towns. I'd be no wiser to visit rural Mississippi than to whack a beehive with a stick
Can you tell us what measurements you use to conclude that the United States is definitively the best in the world? Or is this rating strictly emotive-based?
It's a region in northern Michigan where hairy Italian men and even hairier Italian women settled a century and a half ago where blaze orange longjohns outsell pleated khakis 10 to 1 and young boys eat pasties three times a day, except Fridays, when they switch to walleye.
Now I get it. That comet done went clear through yur brainpan.
Save your scolding for the person who made an assertion other than the one in question. I would not have issued a challenge regarding the US being the greatest country on Earth had this poster not chosen to make that assertion.
