Isn't that pretty much the elementary with myths, stereotypes, etc? Are any of them not greatly exaggerated generalizations?

Or are there exaggerated generalizations about da City-Folk Yankees that are true and not at all greatly exaggerated?

It depends on where you go in the South. If you're in a decent-sized city (Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Nashville), the people you deal with will be less-stereotypically southern. You're dealing with more transplants and people who have better educations. The same thing goes for college towns like Athens and the research triangle in North Carolina.

If you get into rural areas, especially in the deep south, the stereotypes are almost exaggerated. The southern parts of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi are like that. You get into those areas (and north Florida), and it's just like, "Oh, this is where the cliches come from. I get it."

So, tell me where I said majority or anything close to it. Thanks again for reading

Sure thing ...

No idea who they are, but I'm guessing religious fanatics. That many kids is almost always religious fanatics.

Or pro athletes or people on welfare who want bigger checks.

I mentioned the people who seem to be the common among those who have that many children, and you added welfare receipients to the group.

The picture that is in the OP? The one that the entire thread is about? You didn't see that one? The one that you were referencing when you said, "Or pro athletes or people on welfare who want bigger checks."

Who the **** were you talking about, then?

I know who the duggars are. I was responding to it can be more than religious fanatics. That may be where we went wrong. I was making a random comment that not all people who have a **** load of kids are religious nuts. Miss wasn't talking about a picture or them. So that's my bad then

Only way I can get an intelligent response to my posts.

My favorite part is that you addressed yourself in the response. "Exactly Omelet, unlike most of our members..."

I'm still laughing.

Absolutely but I do find it funny that if you are from the south you are not well educated. It's the funniest thing.

I find it funny that the Stereotype for Northerners is that they all stereotype Southerners as non-educated.

I live in a suburb of Chicago and I work in Chicago and I do not assume education level based on whether you are from a Southern/Rural area or a Northern/Urban area, that is silly.

"Be fruitful and multiply" is taken literally, yet it was written long before property taxes were invented.

... and a population of over 7 billion, with tens of millions being lifted out of poverty every year and catapulted into a lifestyle that's barely environmentally sustainable when it was just Europe and North America living it.

But these people's kingdom is not of this Earth, apparently, so I guess screw the planet and those who will have to live on it.

I think you should do it anyway

Working on getting yourself banned from this forum too?

Really though, you may want to learn how to take a joke before you wish suicide on someone.

So, if a person has 5 kids and fully self supports them? Its a problem? Just asking a question not being a dick.

Despite this, most Christians and Catholics who stay married in the U.S average more than 2 children...

"Be fruitful and multiply" is taken literally, yet it was written long before property taxes were invented.

Meanwhile, the rest of us have the luxury of paying to educate other peoples' fruitfulness.

Most Catholics send their kids to private school...

Been to Catholic school my whole life. So, did pretty much everyone in my large family even outside my immediate family. We paid for public school kids and never heard my parents complain. In fact, all my children will go to Catholic school as well. So, I think it works both ways just the majority cant afford to send there kids to a Catholic or private school.

That depends on how many people have 5 kids, and what kind of lifestyle they live. The manner in which we use resources are just as important as how many children we have, in terms of sustainability and responsibility.

Of course there are some who believe their only responsibility is towards themselves and their family, and **** the rest of the planet. A mindset of rugged individualism is arguably just as bad as the aforementioned issues.

You can (and did) wish for someone to make that choice.
