>> Many of those guys didn't fit the stereotype at all..... That's beside the point. Maher claimed the selection was essentially random, and that was a lie. They picked the goofiest responses they could find and then edited them to make them look as bad as possible. You think it was happenstance that one of the people they "interviewed" had no teeth and lived in a garbage dump? What? One out of 8-10 guys interviewed and you single him out. Pathetic. By every demographic the South is the Greece of the US..........actually Greece has a higher standard of living. Poverty, education, obesity. literacy, divorce rate, etc. the statistics tell the truth..........the South is at the bottom of the barrel. This is all the stuff those of us who live outside of the South are taught not to bring up when growing up. In addition, we can't comment on the accent although southerners can tell us they don't understand us because of OUR accent.........it happened to me two weeks ago. We can't bring up the confederacy. We can't talk about the civil war. We can't talk about racism. We can't talk about slavery. We can't talk about how religion has hurt the South and how this country has separation of church and state. However, we CAN talk about how the North 'destroyed' the South. Well dude, that all changed with this letter: fuckthesouth.com I suggest you get after your leaders and get them to do the job they were hired to do and make the South a better place.
