Stereotypes don't make themselves. The majority of people in the southeast think this way, at least ones in my area, so maybe I'm not reading your post correctly, because it sounds like you are saying otherwise. Many may not be bold enough to come out and say it, but many think it, and elect people like this douche to speak for them.
"Get outta hur foreigner! This is Amerikuh! We speak English round hur! DURRRR! Rabble rabble rabble"
"Get outta hur foreigner! This is Amerikuh! We speak English round hur! DURRRR! Rabble rabble rabble"
Some of us are working to change this paradigm.

I was just sitting here trying to think of something clever to put in this thread but I got nothing. Does this make me less of a man and if so is anyone willing to come over and make me feel like a man again?
Nudge, nudge, you know what I mean, say no more.

I'd take my spec Miata and "bump" into that ******* somewhere he was braking early or something....sait it was unavoidable. Fix the Miata for $200 and laugh at Capitan Cockfact having to fix $12,000 worth of damage to his car.
(I love P-cars.....but I hate the 'vert versions of the 911...they can all burn)

It's a common understanding that most Porsche owners have no clue how to drive. As this cideo shows. They have a bad *** car and think it makes them a good driver.
Have a great day,

Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS station KPIX-TV in San Francisco that military leaders had considered, and then subsequently rejected, building the so-called gay bomb.
Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.
As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."
The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.
"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.
"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soldiers would become gay," explained Hammond.
The Pentagon told KPIX-TV that the proposal was made by the Air Force in 1994.
"The Department of Defense is committed to identifying, researching and developing non-lethal weapons that will support our men and women in uniform," said a DOD spokesperson, who indicated that the "gay bomb" idea was quickly dismissed.
However, Hammond said the government records he obtained suggest the military gave the plan much stronger consideration than it has acknowledged.
"The truth of the matter is it would have never come to my attention if it was dismissed at the time it was proposed," he said. "In fact, the Pentagon has used it repeatedly and subsequently in an effort to promote non-lethal weapons, and in fact they submitted it to the highest scientific review body in the country for them to consider."
Military officials insisted Friday to KPIX-TV that they are not currently working on any such idea and that the past plan was abandoned.
Gay community leaders in California said Friday that they found the notion of a "gay bomb" both offensive and almost laughable at the same time.
"Throughout history we have had so many brave men and women who are gay and lesbian serving the military with distinction," said Geoff Kors of Equality California. "So, it's just offensive that they think by turning people gay that the other military would be incapable of doing their job. And its absurd because there's so much medical data that shows that sexual orientation is immutable and cannot be changed."

Panera cafe says pay what you want
Bakery hopes to expand nonprofit restaurants around U.S.
