LOL!

I don't think that, but I can imagine you do get that kind of reaction! We all have our crosses to bear don't we!

I knew someone, a long time ago, who had a pen-pal in New Jersey. Just for a joke, he would answer in the affirmative every stereotypical question the guy had about Alabama. He had him believing that he had an outhouse in the backyard and no running water in the house.

Sometimes I cringe a bit over the French-bashing threads. I am half French, lived there as a child, and have a close family member still living there. I also visit periodically. So I have some feelings for that country which I like, and it does bug me sometimes to see people put them down so much. I have noticed too the posts where people say California should sink into the ocean. I have thought how that might not sit too well with me if I were from California. However, I do realize that people tend to generalize, just like I did when I said New Jersey is the worst state!
