If any of you were considering moving to the South*, consider this: DON’T. The people are hard to understand; everyone’s religious; there are Confederate flags everywhere; and apparently the term “southern hospitality” is a euphemism for “get the hell out of my country.”
Actually, in all honesty, my extremely secluded personal experience of the South wasn’t that terrible. However, let’s take a look at the statistics:
The South:
- has the lowest literacy rate in the country, both functional illiteracy and total illiteracy;
- has the lowest average ACT/SAT scores;
- has the lowest average IQ;
- is the most religious;
- has the highest percentage of Republicans;
- has the highest percentage of wife-beaters.
Coincidence?
* The South, for those of you in Canada or living in the South, consists of about a dozen or so states in the south-eastern-most part of the United States. It’s the only place in the world, as far as my limited knowledge on the subject is aware of, that a homosexual man (in a love he cannot control) is denied marriage to another man, while a different man (in a love he can control) is allowed to marry his own first-cousin.
Welcome to America.
