79. I don't live in the South.

Would you mind not posting things like that, please? I'm sorry, but I don't think your response was very funny. I know you're not trying to be deliberately cruel but I think sometimes people on this site can be quite unpleasant, albeit unconsciously. You're not really going to pay for anyone to move anywhere and I wish you'd be a little more sensitive to people who might read these things. You might think it's funny to talk about pogroms but there are plenty of people in the South to whom that wouldn't be funny at all.

That's hilarious. Apparently the humor gene is not passed down to a lot of liberals. progressivebydesign Nov 2012 #26
