We've just seen a lot of quirky things that goes in in Trisha's neck of the woods. I could write 20 similar posts about Illinois...every state has their own oddities. I didn't mean to generalize everyone that lives in Alabama or offend anyone. I think my “that state scares me” was taken out of context.

I lived in Birmingham for almost 20 years and I have never seen anything like this. I have never been to Theodore so maybe things are different. I myself am literate, wear shoes, have a Master's degree, and have fantastic grammar. My friends who still live in Alabama are artists, musicians, teachers, lawyers; all of them beautiful and intelligent people with big hearts. Alabamians are not "stupider" than people from other US states; yes there is poverty there, especially in the Black Belt, but poor doesn't always equal ignorant. I have been working with the poor and disadvantaged for 7 years (not in Alabama though, it might surprise some of you to know that there are poor people in countries all over the world.), and even the uneducated have something to contribute. I especially have to give <b>@ Shan</b> a big eyeroll for swearing off the entire southern region of the United States because of this picture. I have traveled all over the world and Southerners are very kind and hospitable. I remember being treated like crap in the LA airport on my way to Dallas and was so so grateful to be greeted by an old granny in a cowboy hat at the DFW airport who smiled and kindly asked me where I needed to go. Apparently they have senior citizen volunteers there or something that are way nicer than the jerks at LAX. I don't operate under the delusion that I am better than every one else, but I can easily recognize a hateful attitude. @ Yvonne Butler:

I was saying everyone was freaking out about Alabama. "That place scares me." etc. comments like people that live in Alabama was "whatever" and we are just ordinary people like every other state in the nation. This could have been seen in any state in the nation as easy as Alabama. I am proud of our people and our state and would not live in any other because I have lived in a number of them when my dad was in the military and Alabama is still HOME! Many of upi were being insulting. I did not say it was safe because if was not!

Yes we have U Hauls. But like the rest of the world we are in a recession. Maybe these folks have lost their jobs and homes like many in our state have. My son has been laid off from work for 6 months and still can't find a job. There are good Christian people in Alabama just as in the rest of the world. I don't know any people who act like Jerry Springer show and I love living in Alabama and so do my family. Don't judge everyone by the few you do know. I live in Alabama! Yes we have U Hauls.
