Why is the southern states always the last to do anything positive or progressive....?

[ailwyn]

slavery: the south kept it the longest
jim crow laws: the south kept it the longest
interracial marriage: the south is the last place to legalize that?
gay marriage: no southern states legalized that and will probably be the last to do it. the southern states dont even have same sex civil unions.
death penalty: no southern states abolished it, the south executes the most people and will most likely be the last to abolish it
Smoking bans: The rest of the country bans smoking in places like bars and restaurants to protect people from deadly 2nd hand smoke while the only place left where you can still smoke a cigarette in a bar or restaurant are southern states
medical marijuana: the southern states thinks thats the devil even if it helps sick people.
sodomy: the south is the only place banning married consensual adults from doing anything other than the missionary position cause anything else is a sin from satan.
civil rights act: its least enforced in the south and racism is most accepted there

the south is also the poorest, the least healthy, the most obese, the least educated, the lowest iq, the highest smoking/tobacco use rates, highest cancer, diabetes, aids, heart disease and death rates, lowest life expectancy. Theyre the only states allowing cheap labor with no unions to protect the workers. The south is the most outdated, racist homophobic place in America. They teach abstinence only education in the schools which doesnt work. They teach that the civil war was about states rights and not slavery in the schools and that Lincoln was a tyrannical treasonist terrorist for freeing the slaves. They think only Christianity is good and blindly believe everything in the bible even though theres supposed to be a separation of church and state. They want schools to teach about Jesus even if thats offensive to non christians. Theres no animal rights there where animals can be killed and tortured and its ok there. Theres no environmental regulations to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink. Theres extremely harsh drug laws for simple possession of use. Theres least respect for equality and human rights in the south. The south bombs abortion clinics. The south bombs black churches. Blacks and minorities are most hated there. The south has the lowest quality of life and standard of living. The south is the only place where the KKK and Westboro Baptist Church is still active

What is it about the south that tries its hardest to keep itself like a 3rd world country?

The south is growing and the north is withering away because of Democrat political control which has seriously damaged economic opportunity in the northern states.

you moron.

liberals states like NY, and CA have the DP.

and if those people don't want to ban smoking what does that matter?

you just think you know better than everyone, and have taken on a dictators characteristic that everyone should do as you say.

[siwili]

The Westboro Baptist Church is out of Topeka, Kansas.

Anyway, you sound like a good Liberal. Maybe that is why the southern States don't want anything to do with being progressive. Can't say that I blame them.

[marq]

Since when is sodomy required to be a first world nation?
Why do more people move from the north to the south than the other way around?

[lamarr3]

The majority of the black population lives in the south FYI.

[delrico]

Good for 10-points after you get deleted for this drivel of a rant...

[calin]

Spent all that time typing this nonsense, and you claim were pathetic?

[adamka]

Because I didn't feel like reading all of this.
