I used to live in Georgia also.
I liked it, some of the people were nice, some not so so.
I did notice that people were a lot more religious there than say Seattle, or maybe California.
We’re all Americans at the end of the day.

I liked the south. It’s definately different from other states in the Union. I was in New Orleans for a couple of years…that is different again and has it’s own idiosyncracies. I used to love driving through the ratlands of Louisiana, Mississipi and Arkansas when I visited the in laws. They were in North West Arkansas and that was a lovely part of the country up in the Ozarks.
Interesting place!

The original post was mainly meant as a joke. I’m a native California, born and raised. I don’t care if people from other regions call us tree huggers or make fun of us because we had “The Terminator” for a Governor who got made fun of even by us for smoking huge cigars and driving a Humvee gas hog. Our reputation is we are a bunch of over-tanned flakes and yuppies.
It doesn’t bother me because I have a sense of humor.

What did you see?
I was in Chicago before–for 45 minutes. I was in the airport on a layover.
G+ot held up in customs with all these Japanese kids getting kicked off the planes and getting deported back to Japan. I signed my incoming declaration that I had a physical illness…underlined the mental one. Dumb thing to do and they eventually let me through after about an hour of waiting in this strange room with Japanese kids handcuffed to seats.
WAs fanging for a cigarette so got out into the snow…never had seen snow at a dodgy little taxi rank. Ended up getting a later flight to NOLA and it took me ten times to figure out that to do a reverse charges call to the lady…I had to say the words…we didn’t have that technology in Australia.
One thing. Never say your mentally ill to the groundstaff even though it says in on the slip. ( might have changed since 2002! ). Only did it cause I was carrying a six month supply of antipsychotics and antidepressants! They couldn’t have cared about that!

society doesn’t know dangerous. if they’d just look around, it’s not us.
i feel like being psychotic is the same as saying, ’ yes i’ve been whipped, and whipped,
and decided to forgive and not be mad anymore.
it was originally called going mad,
madness,
yet suffering psychotic episode eventually taught me that-’ whole peace on earth and good will toward man’,
is a wonderful agreement for me!
