[quote=Anonymous][quote] A teen California boy told his aunt he “loves the four seasons”? Classes end in late April, he isn’t even there for the summer. I think you made this up. If you said he was at Boulder and loved the mountains, sure. But literally middle of nowhere farmlands Indiana when it’s 30 and 40 degrees most of the school year? No, just no. You’re lying. [/quote] Ok, stfu and don't call me a liar. And stop embarrassing yourself. He's a sophomore; the school year starts in early August; Bloomington is surrounded by rolling hills (check a topography map - southern Indiana is different from the northern part); it's an hour's drive from Indianapolis (a metro area of 2 million that's bigger than any southern city outside TX or FL except Atlanta or Charlotte); and the Bloomington climate is a little cooler than Philadelphia and a little warmer than Pittsburgh (neither of which seem to trigger the same sort of cold-weather pearl-clutching on DCUM). And I'm his uncle. So you're wrong on every count. But even better than all the misinformed speculation is your insistence that someone whose views don't comport with your own must be "lying." That's the problem with this entire 'discussion' -- there are some people who are saying "yeah, this isn't really a factor for me/us" and the South's dubious boosters (honestly, an embarrassment to the South) come back with "well your personal preferences are wrong or a lie." Why don't you do the South's reputation a big favor and just walk away from the keyboard? [/quote]
