    Well, I've had plenty of friends from other places come visit me. One in particular, from New Hampshire comes often. She goes on and on about how much nicer people are here...and let me tell ya, she stands out with her accent and all.

    People in the south are nice to people...you just have to act like a nice person. They'll be the first to give you the shirt off their back if you're a nice person. If you come and act superior, or act an ass....they'll also be the first to kick your ass.

    That's what you get from real people. Sure, I'm talking in generalites....there are jerks all over the world...and it is no different here. But, in general, I've found that compared to the extremes in the country...the NE and the West...people here are generally nicer, polite and more respectful than most others. If not, why is it so many from up north want to move here? It can't just be the warmer weather. The live down here is generally more relaxed...better food...and the zest for life is better. We like to work hard and party hard...and enjoy each other more. I was amazed when I lived in Tucson. Down here...when you walk and catch someone's eyes...you smile and generally say hello...etc. When out there I'd do that...they'd actually sometimes have a scowl on their face and ask "what do you want?" That amazed me. I find you can get further in life it you 'nice' people to death rather than be immediately defensive and spiteful...
