And as often happens...you would be dead wrong.
While there is nothing wrong with being proud from where you were raised, for those of us who actually experienced a large swatch of this country growing up...homegrown arrogant and narrow-minded twits make us laugh.

Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia is home to many warm, smart, kind and hard working people who value their families and their country. They have struggled proudly through a lot of economic hard times, many of them in the rust belt, without whining or welfare. Many have lived off the land by farming and mining but they WORK.
I cannot tell you how many of you New Jersey and New York "sophisticates" are off base calling people from rural area's "red necks" and hillbilly's and dismissing them summarily. YOU who supposedly believe it is wrong to prejudge groups of people and label them.

I lived in 12 states by the time I graduated high school (none being New York or New Jersey, so there's your ignorance and prejudice showing again...
).
I gained an education, open viewpoint and intelligence from that alone...that your narrow-minded, passive-aggressiveness could never hope to match.
A great quote comes to mind and applies especially to you.
Quote:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
― Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It

And there honey, is why you will always be the narrow-minded, passive-agressive twit...you have grown to be in your old age.
And since it is worth repeating, you really should read this closely.
Quote:
Yay, you were at least smart enough to know that it was a figurative slap in your face, for your constant attempts of obviously unearned arrogance that you consistently display on the main board...based on your extremely limited geographical upbringing and the denigration toward others who, thank goodness, weren't raised like yourself.
So maybe the next time you're tempted to tout your superiority based on where you were raised, you remember to use this as a reminder that your passive-aggressive arrogance, lying and hypocrisy...actually showcases the negatives of how/where you were raised. 
Glad I could help you.
