Okay, I think you missed my point... I was BORN in Minnesota, my GIRLFRIEND is from Iowa, and I lived in Indiana for the last year... Not everyone is a cow rapist in the mid west, as I am sure there are people in Indiana that don't fuck their cousins, or the deep south for that matter. I was saying that I want to distance myself from THOSE people. And you have just proven that you agree with me by arguing so vehemently against me. So why are you arguing against me? Because you misunderstood? Sorry, I did not mean to imply that everyone from these regions is the stereotype. I was just saying that in Identifying with ANY nation, there are negative connotations. I gladly specify that I come from Southern Los Angeles when people ask me where I am from. I lived in the Ghetto, not hollywood. So back off your defensiveness.
Secondly, I happen to like parts of the Mid-west, just not as a whole, because I have met too many people that were fucked up in the head and said I was abnormal... My ex-wife and in-laws come to mind... I have family there, including but not limited to my Daughter in Indiana, my Father, Step-mother, and two half brothers, as well as my Future in-laws who still live in Iowa. No offense was intended, it was supposed to be a joke. Just laugh and it will be better! If it wasn't funny to you, sorry. I know my Girlfriend would laugh at it...
