You said that you knew how things worked. You also said that you weren't butt hurt.
I'm not sure how you getting upset and defensive helps explain why things work they way they do in the south. Well maybe you are a great example of why it is the way it is.
Don't worry. I'm thoroughly entertained by your personal need to defend the south. Feel free to enlighten me on how things work in the south.
What is working in the southern culture that enables 'you' to be last in incomes, education, health, life expectancy, economy and highest in poverty...
It's no coincidence that Southern states have the lowest incomes, the highest poverty, the worst economies (minus Texas and Florida), the highest unemployment rates, the lowest life expectancies, and have the least healthy populations.
But seriously, do some research on it.
It is more than the south, but the south is the highest concentration. Fortunately the southern governors cut off the enhanced unemployment benefits. They always do what's best for their residents.
Exactly my point. You have no idea what she has been through either. So you can bash her, but you get angry when I give you the same treatment? That is called hypocrisy.
I do not know what you've been through, but you've obviously not gotten over it.
It takes a strong man to bash a 24 year old for something you have no experience in. She's probably dealt with 1000 times more adversity and pressure than you ever have. Not to mention all of the training and the sacrifice. What were you doing between the ages of 16 and 24? I guarantee...
