    So the people who hate everything about Europe and Asia have never even left this country (except probably to Mexico or Canada )

    Life is so good in the South and Bible Belt, why would anyone want to leave? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    The classic example is well-off dubya being elected Prez without ever taking his re ed ass or his family outside of the UCA.

    Why is Mississippi "colored" black?

    What in the is this proving. Doesn't it take money to travel overseas? When I think of money Mississippi really doesn't come to mind. California and New York, yes. Oh, and look at that. They have the highest amount. Stupid thread. Waste of bandwidth. You don't need a damn passport to go to Mexico or Canada. Plus there's the frickin Internet to know what's going on anywhere. Psssst. There's fighting in the middle east, OP.

    you're not really getting the point. What a surprise.

    Point is, why are those ppl who don't get out of the country the most opinionated on external affairs. Why are those ppl the most scared of extremist islam and china and russia??? they don't know what the they are talking about.

    You just answered your own question.

    why are those ppl who don't get out of the country
    People fear the unknown. The less they know about the outside world, the more they hate it and stick to theirs.

    I don't really buy that. There is such thing as southern hospitality which is not a myth.

    IMO the problem is the rhetoric that is repeated onto these poor ignorant folk. The fear mongering.
    "these ppl gonna take your job"
    "these ppl gonna blow you up"

    I actually agree with this for the most part. The climate is warm. They don't have crazy heating and electric bills. They can work enough to live, then chill the rest of the time. They don't have to travel. They don't have to work to become multimillionaires because there is no incentive to become multimillionaires.

    Warm weather breeds a more lax culture.

    I think southern hospitality exists...if you're from the south or you live here or you're from America and you're visiting through. I don't think them southerners would be too hospitable to a family of Syrians traveling through the south.

    I agree one the second part though. These are the people that tend to gobble up whatever bull Fox News s out for them so it's not surprising that most of their viewpoints coincide with right-wing nutjob television.

    I dunno, but if I lived in Mississippi I'd want to do nothing but travel.

    So the farther away you live from another country, the less likely you are to have a passport. Fascinating.

    Equally fascinating is how the states with higher poverty rates have lower percentages of world travelers. Never would have guessed that.

    So do you visit the middle east, china, Russia and abroad, Mr Gernocide? In fact, how do you ever know what goes on outside of your city. You must really be in the dark about everything outside of your city, Mr Genocide.

    Why are you pulling this bull out of your ass rather than providing actual data to back up this nonsense?

    I didn't say it was perfect or paradise. I think there is more to life than chilling. And the racial problems that still exist there certainly make for a less than ideal situation.

    I only ask because, you know, New Yorkers really aren't an opinionated people. Only people who don't get out are.

    It is a question of causality, to be sure.
