Default Not offended, and seeing the obvious

Hmmm,
Yes it is 430 am so please excuse my grammar,

Isn't it funny how so many "Liberals" who accuse others of being "closed minded or ignorant" are really the most closed minded of them all?
Read through this person's questions and give them some thougt. How rediculous, opinionated, closed minded, not to mention blatently obvious this person's predjudices are.
First of all how can you judge somewhere you have never lived, visiting somewhere and living there are totally different.
Of course you will get an accent! If an ignorant redneck moves to the northeast and begins to get a northeastern accent, it does not make his IQ increase any more than a person from Yale moving to the deep south and picking up a southern twang loses IQ points. What a rediculous concern!
Yes, it is flatter than other areas of the US. Those of us "ignorant rednecks" who have lived in other areas of the US know that a person who cannot find plenty of fun and interesting outdoor activities to keep them busy year around in MO is the true closed minded and ignorant person.
Also, Isn't the person who forms an opinion without experience or solid facts, truly the ignorant and closed minded one. Sounds like she (and others here) is a bit hippocritical and "not really" all that "open minded".
What a snob!
Hope I didn't offend anyone!

I currently live in Springfield. Some of what she thinks it true and some is not. Springfield is somewhat flat but farther south into the Branson area has more hills. Springfield can be painfully conservative but I go to college here and most people I know around the university are more liberal. People say that Missouri overall has no accent because we are in the middle of the north and south U.S. and the accents don't sould like either. At least in the Springfield area. We have a Sams club and they are building one more. As far as organic grocery stores- not Whole Foods - but there are a couple that are smaller but nice. Akins and Mamma Jeans - I know, weird name but I have head really good things about it. Downtown springfield keeps getting better and better and the is a much better variety of resturants than there used to be. There are some laid back churches here - you just have to look around. Not so much bapsists everywhere but the assembiles of god has there world headquarters here so the are pretty big but not my style. I hope this helps.

That would be the loony talk radio show host I believe. His real last name is not Savage. I don't like talk radio at all. It annoys me.
