You say Rudey's post was ignorant/prejudicial, but I guess I don't see the difference between that and making such a sweeping generalization.

I was proving my point that, obviously, not all people from Chicago hunt rats, just as not all Southerners, kill rabid racoons and eat them out of the back of a pick up truck. I was using this "sweeping generalization" to show how ignorant "sweeping generalizations" are.

I know plenty of Southerners who have moved from the South to Manhattan, and of the few that have returned home, they miss the city every single day.

I also lived in the South for 8 years, and compared to Manhattan, it is a living death.

Can we manage not to make this into another North vs. South debate? People make poor decisions everywhere, even up north I am sure. No section of the nation has the market on stupidity. I am reminded almost daily that stupid people are everywhere.

The difference is that your experience with rats is something never associated with the North. Never in a movie do they talk about hunting rats. Just say "Hey, Rudey, I was retarded and made a mistake" and that's that.

That's funny, because I lived in Manhattan for 2 years. I've also lived in Chicago, and in northern California. I was never so happy as I was the day I moved back down South. It's all a matter of personal preference.

I think it's silly to debate about what region of the country you live in. If you're happy where you are, then be happy. If you're not happy there, then move. I have learned that there are nice people everywhere. There are also mean people, rude people, ugly people and rednecks everywhere you go.

I grew up in the South, I went to RI for college, and I live in Manhattan now. Each place has its advantages, each has its disadvantages.

Also, have you ever heard of the Great Migration?

Update from KHOU.com

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- A judge issued an arrest warrant Thursday for a University of Georgia student accused of killing a raccoon that was then skinned, burned and eaten by members of his fraternity.

Judge Patricia Barron said she was disturbed by the allegations and ordered Erik Robert Zimmerman's arrest on charges of animal cruelty.

Zimmerman told police he saw the raccoon near a trash container the night of Dec. 12 and hit it with a traffic cone to scare it away. When it did not run off, Zimmerman shot the animal with a pellet gun. A fraternity brother skinned it, and another ate some of it after the meat was burned.

Animal control officer Kim Winter said Zimmerman should have contacted authorities when he saw the raccoon.

Yeah I always try to kill things when they don't scare away. Then I always like to eat after I kill.

poor raccoon, I am with the animal rights agency and I dont condone THIS at all.......this makes me want to throw up......it is animal cruelty..........I hope they lock them in jail for animal cruelity... we are trying to get stricter laws, we in CALI are very anti-animal abuse/animal testing, etc........... animals should be loved and treated with kindness.......as I am reading this, my cat is on my lap purring. I should tell you the story.....I took my cat Mishee to the vet for checkup and there was this friendly yellow cat just purring. My mom was talking to the owner, she told my mom he is there for a check up for a cat bite on the ear and that she loves this vet cuz they were the same one who operated on him when he was shot near a high school. The neighbor found him and took him to a vet and told them when they came home and they paid one grand for the sugery. she was worried he will not be safe there and she saw how I was interacting with him and she invited us over to her house and observed me. She told me it was okay for me to take him home with me. My cat Mishee didnt like it at first but once she realize she can boss him around the next day, she was fine with him I love them both to the death and that is why I am so pro-animals. Sorry to be off topic.
