<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>

Then that Pride is direly in need of some humbling. Everyone and everything is flawed in some way, if you're so monstrously prideful about something as inconsequential as your state that it is your proverbial social Achilles Heel; then that's just downright sad.

I never said it didn't, just something I noticed in America is that a majority of people take a vast amount of pride in their region, and will defend it, even if they may be in the wrong. Then again, I'm a 16-year old student, so what the hell do I know, but that's what I think about it.
