You are dumb for even being content with the fact that the other 49 states look at us as backward hicks. Ive live outside of MS for over 3 years now and I hear **** all the time about how terrible MS is and how stupid all the people are. I currently live around some of the biggest coonasses and even they make fun of us, and they have no 17ing room to make fun of anybody. Do you not get what I am saying? People ask me if we have electricity and running water. I hear jokes when people from Louisiana get ranked ****** on some list. Their response, "Thank God for Mississippi." Whit Wade's act is 130 years outdated. Period.
The perspective from other statesis far worse. If we are trying to gain student enrollment, I'm pretty sure as hell that we aren't going to find that many more college students from MS. So where else would we find them? Hmm, oh yea, other states. We are trying to market to other surrounding states and this is not going to help. Its a fact and I constantly have to defend MS and show that we aren't all a bunch of rednecks. I think we should all give a rats *** what people think if we are going tobetter the University and State as a whole. You complacent attitude is the reason we are still ranked at the bottom of every list in the nation. Too many people dont care and dont want to chance the image andadvance the state for everyone.You might want to venture outside the state border one day.Youcould actuallylearn something.
