Hmmm, originally from Massachusetts, when we went to Louisiana we were greeted by some pulling my hair, taunting us because of our accent, spitting on my mother. How's that for hospitality? Now I know they are not all like that but that's my experience in the deep south. southerners that go north get it just as bad if not worse with people saying something about our accent or calling us inbred hillbillies...etc Not by this yankee

My experience in the south is that the "niceness" is superficial. It is a front that they feel they have to put on but when it comes down to brass tacks it is not real.

Well East coast girls are hip I really dig those styles they wear And the Southern girls with the way they talk They knock me out when I'm down there The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright And the Northern girls with the way they kiss They keep their boyfriends warm at night The West coast has the sunshine And the girls all get so tanned I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island Dolls by a palm tree in the sand I been all around this great big world And I seen all kinds of girls Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states Back to the cutest girls in the world I think you left out the intermountain west girls....what about us? Those Utah girls are good at sex they're really having lots of kids. How's that?

My experience in the south is that the "niceness" is superficial. It is a front that they feel they have to put on but when it comes down to brass tacks it is not real. That is quite possibly true. One never knows what goes on behind closed doors. It is kind of like how the posh may value educational degrees, even though their degreed kids are dumb as rocks about the real world. Its hard to always know when values have substance or are strictly symbolic. But it does seem that the values are at least there , in the south. |

I lived there and I can vouch that the "southern hospitality" is a ruse. Suck you in and tear you down is the motive. It seems they feel better if they can feel superior to others either because of religious beliefs, race, or money or status, etc... Now maybe there are folks there who are not like that but I did not meet them. |

Hummm well I'm in Texas and not saying we are any different then any other state we have our bad azzes as well as the good ones. I have lived in Calif & Nebraska have visited Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, Oklahoma & a few other states I found no different greetings from anyone. Well except they noticed my accent real quick for some reason when ya say ya'll they seem to hear that above anything else you say................
One thing I was always taught was to be polite to those you meet. Well unless they are not then hey it's balls to the wall and speak your mind.......
But I must say I don't have anything bad to say about any of the people from the other states... A few in here sure seems to be giving the south a hard time funny if you notice the ones from the south don't say anything bad about the other states.....Hummmm maybe something to that 
Ya know kindness goes a long way does not mean you like the person but at least it don't hurt to use a little respect along the way...

I agree and I wish I had experienced that genuine kindness and respect along my way. I was still respectful and kind but guarded. |

I would have to say yes.
People suck everywhere...so far the Midwest tops my list, but they are in fact everywhere. I guess it is just down to knocking the bad one's off and staying put, but I only have so much space in my stoop...err, well, erhm...nothing, nevermind... |
