I realize that, but everyone saying how stupid the south is is tiresome. Born in the south, raised in the north, I have seen both sides. North is just as dumb as the south. I've seen it firsthand. Just look at Detroit, Chicago.
Unfortunately, stupid is universal but the application of stereotypes is far from universal and so we take a lot of unfair BS (if this was a more general board with regional outsiders I'd be a helluva lot more defensive about the South but since most of us are southerners or at least familiar/tied to the South in some way, I feel we can talk about what's wrong to one another). I suppose it's like I can give my own state as well as other southern states all the hell I want to but if you're an outsider you better just STFU and stay out of it because you're not going through it the way we are (the same way I can dog cuss my brother but a non-family member better not dare).
As for dumb... I've been around the globe and back and there really are dumbasses everywhere. When you get past what really are just superficial cultural differences, people are people; some good, some bad, some in between. The same applies to levels of smart and dumb.
