The entire southern half of the U.S. begs to differ.

The entire southern half of the U.S. also begs to differ with the rest of the world on when the Earth was formed, whether homosexuals deserve marriage rights, and other things. Hint: they're usually wrong.

Wow! As someone who has lived in the southeast my whole life, I resent that. We have Georgia Tech, Oak Ridge National Labs, and plenty of intelligent people here. Some great innovations have come out of all parts of the south: from Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Ashville, etc... I can't believe you would make such a sweeping generalization.

As someone who grew up in the southern half of the U.S.: a) you're wrong, b) you're really not helping.

Judging the entire region by the loudmouths just gives them an even louder voice than they had. There are plenty of great people in the south, maybe if you'd shut up with your generalizations and stereotypes they'd engage the rest of the world and drown out the bigots.

Another southerner here... Your comment is pretty narrow-minded, don't you think? Isn't that the same ineptitude you're accusing me of having?

Yes, I do think, and I'm sorry.
