What is the difference between the US North & South mentality?
Two of the greatest forces in the human psyche are attitude and emotion. They exert influence on every facet of our human existence. They are the root cause of war and peace, love and hate, belief and skepticism (to serve as three examples). They influence our destiny, not only as individuals but as a species. They also divide Nations, within and without.
In America, what are your impressions of peoples attitudes and emotions born and bred in the Southern States as opposed to those in the North, and vis versa? What are the blatant 'in your face' differences? --- |

Southerners shoot a lot .. From a mid-westerner's (or some might call me Southern) perspective: South: laid back North: uptight South: accent makes 'em sound un-edumacated North: not much discernable accent South: conservative, Bible thumpers. God is great, guides our daily lives mentality North: agnostic/more atheists, God only makes my life a living hell mentality. I can provide more insight when I get home from work..will need to have a good think.. |

My life is about 50/50 North and South and that's not counting 7 years in Ohio because that was the Midwest, but kind of southern Midwest.
North-we talk faster 'cuz otherwise the words freeze South-they talk slower 'cuz it's too hot to get excited. North-Liberal with pockets of conservatism, but not of a religious nature South-Conservative with pockets of liberalism flavored with religious nature. North-Chowdah South-Grits |

We get "yessirs, no ma'ams and Miss/Mr/Mrs quite a lot. |
