No, its definitely you guys. Southerners in general seem to see no inconsistency with crapping all over the north, deriding Yankees and holding Yankees in general in contempt, and yet demanding unqualified respect for the south. More than once I've had southerners insult Vermont to my face, and literally hit the roof when I retaliated with a similiar comment about their state. There are jerks everywhere, but the south is the only place I've been that claims to have none. There are friendly people everywhere, but the south is the only place that claims to have nothing but.

As far as friendliness, the south isn't much different than the north these days. In my experience the most genuinely friendly, big-hearted people are westerners, particularly northwesterners (disregarding Seattle.)

Sorry, but I can't take you seriously with the hyperbolic---and one hundred percent false---claims you're throwing around.

Southerners "demand" people like cream gravy and humidity.

Southerners claim there are no "jerks" in the south.

You do have one thing right, though...the friendliness of the South is on the wane these days. Why do you think that's the case? I can tell you. I live in central rural Virginia, and I've seen the atmosphere of cordiality decrease as more and more Yankees move in.

As for your own personal pain, suffering, and general sense of being put-upon, I have a solution for you.

Leave.
