I went on a cruise that left Florida a few months ago. Most of the people on the cruise were from the south. Nice folks and really suprised me, but being a cruise you usually get people with some money. I didn't go around yelling NASCAR sucks and vote for Hillary though.

Just yesterday I met a guy from SOCAL (I'm in Baton Rouge, LA)

From what he described I wouldn't want to live in CALI.

No it's not really like that in Alabama. There are some tough areas and stupid people. I think the same can be said of every state and I've probably worked in 2/3's of them. This was very stereotypical. Funny but stereotypical.

What would happen to you if you drove around San Francisco in a H2 with a vehicle wrap that proclaimed

If you did that around where I'm from you'd be applauded. Of course, if you did the opposite, you would also be applauded. It's a difference in mentality not political stance. If you see someone you don't like you don't "gang up on them" or chase after them or whatever. That's thug mentality, and I highly doubt it survives in areas as upscale as San Fran. Sure, if you were to walk into Philly with a white robe/hat on you'd get shot, but that's completely different.

Daniel, sorry, IDK why but BBC all of a sudden went psycho on YouTube. You can dl the video from http://www.finalgear.com (you need a torrent program) or http://www.racingflix.com
No doubt, I agree. Uneducated people will always resort to violence than reasoning or acceptance. Like it or not, people in SF are much more educated than most of the country.
