text: why are some people in the midwest and south so cynical/ignorant when it comes to other ethnicities? i mean, its 2006...nearly 2007 already...why is it that people from these areas,( and i know its not just these areas, but for the most part it is).....speak at such a psychotic level about torturing and killing immigrants and especially middle easter people? how is it that people in san francisco, new york, los angeles, eetc.etc.......are so much more open minded and knowledgeable about these issue? if you have never lived in the midwest, you have no idea. we tell it like it is. hard work, play hard and stomp on anything we don't know about. taught in school thata way. we had good teachers from calif or new york that were feed up with all the crap. makes no difference what year it is, we still carry our rifles in our trucks and every one knows it. keeps the peace about an hour longer than other places......
