Anecdotal evidence isn't that much better. Show us verifiable source material.
And you are from New Jersey. Where they don't even know how to pump their own gas. You prove my point. Gullible.
Ha!
These facts are not made up. Read a news paper once in a while.
BMW
Toyota
Bosch
Boeing
The list continues on and on ...
This is what pisses me off about this forum. All the fags are allowed to down any group they want with no repricussions. Then all the queers can do the same about another group and again nothing. Just you let someone offernd a queer i love you and the world comes to an end. Same thing gores for atheist and theist. Sheesh.
Sorry for your failure in geography, but Virginia is part of the South. No matter how hard you try to deny it. It makes no difference how rich you are or how you vote. Your opinion doesn't matter.
Spell Mason-Dixon Line for starters.
Your references have nothing to do with intelligence.
Get out and see the country. Every state has its share of retards. Denial is futile.
Most of the "southerners are stupid" idea comes from stereotyping from TV. And the northerners are gullible enough to believe it.
I laugh as all the northern industry moves south to take advantage of our lower cost of living, highly technical work force, excellent work ethics and to escape the unreasonable demands of unions. Boeing recently moved from Washington State to Charleston SC for these very reasons.
Good luck with your urban and city slums and you suffer a mass movement of your industry to the south.
speaking as someone who speaks to southerners every day...
They are the stupidest people on Earth. I have no idea how any of them survive. Oh wait, yes I do. 90% of them are on "disability".
You've obviously never been to a third would country.
90%? Now thats a stupid comment.
ok
prove me wrong.
What would you consider Maryland? In my experience people down south tend to consider Maryland as a northern state. I don't think it's out there to count DC and its surrounding areas (including parts of Maryland and Virginia) as the north. It's certainly part of the Northeast Corridor, more of a "northern" thing.
Also, the Mason-Dixon line was created to settle territory disputes between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Using it to separate "north" from "south" is an arbitrary decision.
Really, both states (Maryland and Virginia) have areas that could be considered northern as well as areas that could be called southern. Additionally, neither state is a stranger to snow, something I don't think many southern states can claim (this year being an outlier).
But in the end, what do you care? You can call Maryland whatever you want, but the area where I live definitely feels more "northern". DC metro, MD, for reference. Work up in Baltimore.
Is that the best you got? We get the lowest gas as well as get it pumped for us.. and that proves what?
Nothing you said refuted the evidence done by that independent study that the South was lagging behind in education for Southerners in 2003.
Northern VA votes Democratic and all of the good schools are up here. That's the only reason VA is consistently in the top 15 in education (look up Fairfax/Arlington/Loudon counties).
Southern VA (considered the South because of Norfolk/Richmond - votes Republican) lags behind Northern by a mile in education.
The majority of the success of Virginia is in the DC area so it doesn't really count statistically for the "South".
It's almost like 2 entirely different split states altogether. I grew up in the Northeast and now live in northern VA so I think I know what my state is, Mason Dixon be damned.

From my experience, 90% of all southerner's last words are "Hey! Watch this!"
Not really. I just looked it up and they are about like what we have here in coastal SC. $2.82 - $2.95.
No really you pay for it being in one of the top 10 highest taxed states. IAW Forbes Magazine.
Plus From Daily Finance:
Residents shell out 11.8% of their incomes on state and local taxes, the highest state and local tax burden in the country, according to the Tax Foundation, well above the national average of 9.7%. The figure also includes taxes that residents who commute pay to states such as New York.
New Jersey residents also pay high fees, high tolls and high car insurance rates.

And then they cry about having a smaller government...don't touch my disability though!
The number is only high because it includes NYC tax for those that commute.
State income is 6%.
Besides, we receive the least federal dollars in the entire country. Someone has to support the red states...
I lived in Florida. I paid low property taxes and no state income tax. The schools didn't even have books for english class in the most wealthy area in Florida. The people were low life hicks and I learned that sometimes you have to pay to be in a desirable and non hick location.
6%
Reports show otherwise.
New Jersey has hicks, rednecks, poor white trash, retards and dumbasses too. Sorry to pop your bubble.
Every place has a handful, but the proportion is hugely lower than the south in NJ.
We are also the most self sufficient, as I said, by receiving the least federal dollars than any state, a huge majority supporting the hick red states.
Reports show that the state doesn't have a 6% income rate? Yeah, you pay an extra 10% if you work in the city, but that only applies to those that work in the city. Their choice. Doesn't magically up the NJ actual rate.
