The South is a legitimate place to live, just like Saudi Arabia is.

If you want to talk about quality of life, that's another issue.

If you're not a gun-loving church-going conservative, you're not going to be very happy relocating to the South. It's already horribly hard to make friends over the age of 30 (this comes up here on HN often), and moving someplace where the locals are diametrically opposed to your worldview is not going to help with that.

This response is absurd. It says everything about this conversation and your place in it that you’re not wildly embarrassed to compare the South to Saudi Arabia.

This response isn’t like a little wrong, or a bit of hyperbole — it’s egregiously and embarrassingly wrong. It’s not just, like, your opinion, man. It’s a factually absurd, untravelled, ignorant comparison.

No, it's not. I grew up in the South. If you didn't, you have no right to even say these things.
