The southern states suck so much that everyone is moving there and everyone is moving away from the decaying north such that they have almost flat population growth figures and lose electoral votes every census.
The southern states sucked so much historically a quarter million people from the North were willing to lose their lives to keep the southern states as part of the United States.
But hey, they’re all dumb, fat, and poor so fuck them. Fumster may be the dumbest poster I’ve seen trolling in the pit since I read a post from Condescending Robot a few weeks ago.
Industry does tend to move there repetitious work towards 3rd world countries like China and Mexico that have lower wages, fewer workers’ rights, and weaker environmental laws. Congratulations on becoming part of the third world. I just hope they don’t move the call centers there as I find it easier to understand Rajeesh from Mumbai than I do Billy Bob from Crackerville. Some words just don’t sound right if the person uttering them doesn’t have teeth.
But the nice thing for you is that having people move down from the north will raise the average level of education and shrink the average belt-size.
I think most of us would agree that small-minded bigots can be found in both “blue states” and “red states.” The percentage might not even be awfully higher in red states. The problem is when one side acquires political control.
It might not be difficult to seek proof, were your quest for it sincere. Create a list of idiocies from multiple sources; find an objective way to pick the “most” idiotic (yes, I do realize this will be hard ) and see what the correlations are.
… And those who mention that blue states have red counties and vice versa will probably discover that, indeed, … the blue state idiocies are most prevalent in its “red counties.”
Total aside from dealing with fumster’s retard-level trolling, but Oklahoma was supposed to be the permanent Indian Territory. It was basically “we stole a lot of your land, but here is some land we’ll give to you in perpetuity so you can have a place to live.”
It used to be bigger than present day Oklahoma, and in “exchange” for land we basically forced them to give up east of the Mississippi we were supposed to basically give them these perpetual land grants made up of some of the territory we bought in the Louisiana purchase. But over time we just decided we wanted more and more of it until only the area roughly corresponding to modern-day Oklahoma was left. Eventually we just decided to let a bunch of white people move there and admit it as a state and converted much of the tribal land rights into simple property rights and then basically all that was left was the reservation system as opposed to a specific area of territory that was considered “unorganized Indian Territory.”
) and see what the correlations are.
