MabusIncarnate 05/23/21 5:01:50 PM #8:	Born in NY, raised in PA, moved to Atlanta at 18, now live in Tennessee. Cost of living is cheaper, people are friendlier, more neighborly. Also a very clear difference in racism, it's not uncommon here to hear people drop the N word in casual conversation at restaurants or gas stations. Much more republican, lot of pick up trucks, confederate flags, and people are generally a lot more dumb. Not trying to be mean, but it's just the flat truth, there are a lot of really stupid people here. My nephew started kindergarten here a few years ago, and half of the kids in his class haven't spoken their first word yet, or just said stuff like "Hi" and "kitty" while he was capable of full structured sentences and good communication. A lot of real good food here at local family restaurants, people in the South can cook. If you are at a store parking lot and struggling to get something into your truck, people come help without asking, again, there's a lot of friendly, kind hearted folks. Police here are real helpful and nice, right now I live in a small town with a population under 900, I know all the officers on a first name basis, I go fishing with one of them. There is barely any crime here. Weather can break 100 degrees which is tough, we do get tornadoes, one ripped through my backyard a year ago and ripped up a 80 foot tall oak tree and it fell like 15 feet from my house, it was absolutely terrifying. I live on top of a mountain on the Smokies, so when the wind hits, the wind hits hard. The wildlife is incredible, so many species of birds visit here, we get bobcats, mountain lions, bears, skunks, coyotes, opossums, racoons, groundhogs, boar, and a ton of deer, among other things. --- Above us lay the burdens, Below us lay the truths.

Drunk Cobra 05/23/21 5:12:34 PM #11:	Big differences in certain areas, don't live there but having traveled for work I can tell you the people of Mississippi were not the brightest. Nice aw shucks type people, all the women had the same haircut, lots of obesity. I had to explain where the city of Philadelphia was located to one woman however. Memphis wasn't nearly as bad although you could tell they were building up the whole area again. Would literally be one street too far from where all the construction was happening and it'd be a mess. --- I don't want to be a snuff film reviewer.

Balrog0 05/23/21 6:59:12 PM #23:	I'm from San Jose, California, moved to the central Arkansas/Little Rock area when I was about 13. I've kept in touch with family in the Sacramento area and visited them a few times over the years, and gone back to see a few friends. Though I don't pretend to know what it's like to live there any more obviously. I also lived in DC briefly. Definitely people way more open with racism was a big culture shock to me when I moved here. Also the open preference for/assumption that I was Christian. A lot of ignorance stemming just from those two things (like people saying Catholics and Mormons aren't Christian totally sincerely, not like "oh they're not in communion with the true Christian church" just totally mistaking their beliefs). Poor education system in general and overall. People here had way lower ambitions; I had never known people who wanted to drop out of school early just to work at Walmart and move out before they turned 18. But I met several people like that here, even though there are just way less people to know in the first place. Everything is smaller and slower.

Though I don't pretend to know what it's like to live there any more obviously. I also lived in DC briefly. Definitely people way more open with racism was a big culture shock to me when I moved here. Also the open preference for/assumption that I was Christian. A lot of ignorance stemming just from those two things (like people saying Catholics and Mormons aren't Christian totally sincerely, not like "oh they're not in communion with the true Christian church" just totally mistaking their beliefs). Poor education system in general and overall.
