Spam Capital of the World

Posted by timothy on from the at-least-of-the-U.S. dept.

ermita2 writes "The South Florida Sun-Sentinel published this weekend a story about how South Florida is home to more spammers than any other place in the world according to Spamhaus. The reason for that seems to be Florida's long history and friendliness with dirty business from real estate speculation to the penny stock scammers. Among the interesting tidbits is anecdotal evidence that the amount of spam worldwide fell for a while after last year's hurricanes in Florida."

    Basically denial of racism in WV. Unless you mean by "decent" that nonwhites should accept persecution. When you think about how WV voters have been sending to government those representatives of the energy companies that have exploited them and their state, it makes sense that denial is such a well practiced skill.

    Those are words to live by. But people don't. My point is that you're kidding yourself if you think there's basically no "discrimination" in West Virginia. You certainly can't fool me.

    Well, the trash is not exclusively Yankee. But Yankees are overachievers, so they stick out over the Dixie and other redneck trash.
