Nope Joe, this story does not represent the south as a whole. A story like this or the horrible event in Texas that has been in the media creates an image that may have serious negative overtones. I promise you I can give you 10,000 stories of compassion and acceptance for the other side of the story, but you know the media just would not print it 'cause it just ain't sellable news. Terrible things happen but it is not "a representation of general psyche". The most tragic of economic event of my life happened in dealing with a man from NY, 7 years ago. The next year my CPA during tax review said never have business dealings with New York people. He generalized everyone there as in the same boat as the conn a got took badly with. I almost believed him for a while until our church went to Jamestown NY and helped a local Baptist Church Group make an old dairy barn into a charming warm Church........ Those NY people hurt like we hurt, love like we love, fear like we fear, and rejoice like we rejoice. Come on down Joe and spend a little time, it my be the good life; it may not have the comfort of NYC. But I think you will find the horrors of life in the south not as common as projected by the article..... That young man in the article, you see as THE BIBLE explains it, he was our brother. We are mandated to care. Shelby NC.

Maybe everyone down here is concerned about how QUOB is searching for a new low, and the volume after being pumped here is next to nothing.....like with all things in life one person or a small group of people doesn't make everyone in the south a racist or a redneck....course we say the same thing in the south about how ya'll need to get your act together up north....and Tex, you show me every day why we think that

Tokyo, Thanks for sharing that article. It is another wake up call. We are getting alot of them lately. They seem to be living in a time warp. Melinda

The article was and is very troubling and should be read by everyone. However, as others have noted, one story does not a pattern make and stereotyping people and regions is too simple. In the Episcopal Church in which I minister, we seek to offer God's love to all no matter where they are found, no matter what their struggle. This is one way to make a difference, one person at a time.

Mex... I resent that post. I was born in the south and have lived here all my life. Let me assure you that people like this are the exception and not the rule. Most people in the south are honest, hard working, decent people. The stereotypes you and others label southerners with are largely untrue. I work just outside of Nashville and let me assure that everyone here does not sit on their porch and pick banjos. I , as well as many of my associates have years of education . (well beyond the fifth grade) This area if filled with educated, sophisticated people who also love some of the same things you do. There are some gourgeous golf courses here. I doubt NY could hold a candle to the landscape on some of our courses. Anyway, my point is this. Before you go making broad generalizations like this, be sure you understand exactly what you are saying. LFISKY
