<p>stoneimmaculate,</p>
<p>I’ll add deep seated defensiveness, perhaps coupled with an inferiority complex, to my stereotypes of the south. :)</p>
<p>Frankly, I DO find your reaction to be curious - curious as to how one could equate saying the south has differences from the north could in any way be taken as negative. You said yourself said “There’s a different culture in every state…” so I don’t see the gripe.</p>
<p>What makes this rather comical to me is that if I were to post here, say in comparing Chicago to Columbia, that NYC is different from Chicago, and not everyone’s cup of tea, the New Yorkers reading the post would probably take it as a complement!</p>
<p>bacardi, guess you’ve never been off campus. Last I heard, most of the locals were not “northerners”. diatribes like yours make me wonder who the biased folks around here really are. </p>
<p>It is too bad we can’t have an honest dialogue about regional differences - differences that are well documented and understood - on these boards, because certain members are waaay too defensive, and quick to accuse.</p>
