No. The north should carpet bomb the south until there is no one left alive. Then we should nuke the ashes to ensure that a thin coat of glass seals the dirt so that nothing can ever grow there again. After that we should nuke the glass every couple of years just in case.

There are no redeeming qualities to the South. Not in the environment and not in the people.
It's all trees and scummy ponds and muddy shit creeks everywhere you go. Around these wonders of nature, the ignorant populace is all too happy to sit, scratching their rears, swatting the flies and inbreeding with their sisters and fathers. The racial tension is so thick that the people practically choke in it. Whites smile sweetly and wave at blacks that they've known for a lifetime but then turn and in the next breath casually express a desire to hang some niggers. And blacks, so unaccustomed to responsibility, drive around in their cars, spinners a'spinnin', pants down around their ankles, ice in their grill and then moan and groan when they don't get treated with respect. All along never realizing they get the same amount of respect that is befitting of any rodeo or other gaudy hillbilly festival.

tl;dr The Deep South is a shit hole. I'm a Mississippifag and I approve this message.

The cost of living is low. But then again, so are the wages. In Florida, the cost of living is very high, but has about the same wages as Alabama.

If you stick to the cities, the south and the north really aren't that much different. If you go outside the cities, they both suck equally. I've been going up the east coast all my life and they really aren't that much different outside of accents.

The cities in the south are alot cleaner. People don't just throw their cigarette butts and beer bottles and shit out on the street like they do in Northern Cities.

People are generally nicer and the scenery is better.

Lower cost of living (the wage gap is as significant as people claim).

Some places are trashy and redneck. There are lots of hot girls despite what other people say.

The weather is fucking crazy. March was having crazy spikes at 75 degree weather, than dropping below freezing the next day. Lots of tornadoes, occasional hurricane near the gulf.

A lot more black people in my schools than in Massachusetts. About a 50/40/10 spread (white/black/other).

I'd say you hit it right on the head.

I think there's a bigger divide between urban/rural America than there is Northeast-Midwest/Southern America. However, the south is characterized by greater spawl and suburbanization, with smaller core cities than in some other parts of the country.

That said, I'd say the Gulf Coast is a redeeming quality. No real glitzy urban meccas that would draw most bi-coastal types (which seem to be the demographic dominating /trv/), but Florida and Alabama have some beautiful, scenic beaches. I've heard Texas does too, depending on what part of the coast you're on. Mississippi and Louisiana = barrier islands and swamps, though. There are also a few decent cities in the region, Atlanta probably being the foremost.

This is the fucking truth. I'm from VA and goto college in Philly. They just don't give a FUCK about where their trash goes. I've never seen so much trash in the streets. I've been out a few times with people from Philly and they don't even make an attempt to find a trash can on the street, they just pitch it in the gutter with no worries. Atleast down south its looked down upon.

Really? If by nigger you mean cracker, dipshit.

I never recommended travel to Birmingham. And New Orleans I wouldn't recommend at this point. But soon before Katrina? Absolutely. Amazing food and a history grounded in really amazing and radically varying cultural influences from African to French.

By the way, I live in America's 9th most dangerous major city, just under Washington DC and Philly. Would you recommend against traveling there?

Born in rural eastern NC (not exactly deep south). Spent years in Raleigh/Durham. Living in rural area again. Friends with yankees who moved down and classmates who moved north.

The major difference between north and south is the attitude towards confrontation. The north is all 'fuck your shit' face to face. The south is 'fuck your shit' behind your back. Yankee's have it out in the open and will call you out in public to bitch about anything. Southerners just talk behind your back but smile while they're doing it.

That's why either side dislikes the other it's just a different way of handeling confrontations.

That aside, there's hicks/rednecks everywhere. Deal with it.

Stay on I-10 on your visit through Louisiana,

If you stop in Lake Charles, Lafeyette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. You'll see an interesting transition of cultures from Tex-Cajun, Cajun, Cajun-Creole, Creole respectively. Each of these cities' cultures and histories have a huge impact on the people and the city itself.

Things to never miss, LSU Saturday Night game and it's respective tailgating in Baton Rouge, and a Mardi Gras parade during the Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, Bacchus and Endymion are a must see.

Southern food is fucking fantastic once in a while. Texans will get pissed but best BBQ I ever had was in North Carolina. But you're pretty much asking for a coronary eating that shit every day.

As for women, there are hot ones especially the younger ones. I lol'd at how the hot countrygirl stereotype is true. But the diet catches up to most of them eventually. Only older thin females are the ones that have copied the corporate woman/yoga/spin lifestyle started in Southern California which is superior to all.
