Completely Unrelated / Re: Where Should I Start? (life advice)

And if you want a laugh, look at the stats for Jackson's gap in Alabama:
http://www.city-data.com/city/Jacksons-Gap-Alabama.html
Population in July 2009: 767 (this town is barely bigger than my primary school)
For population 25 years and over in Jacksons' Gap:
High school or higher: 49.5%
Bachelor's degree or higher: 4.8%
Graduate or professional degree: 1.9%
(that's right; half of adults haven't graduated from high school)
I dont recall getting a topic locked, Id like to see it though, maybe you are right.
I will dig up my old test scores in a bit and take pictures, needless to say I blew the whole state away.
As far as Jacksons Gap stats, you cant look at those, this isnt even a town....
You need to look at Alexander City, AL. Its 5 mins from here and is where I was educated and born.
I will produce my stats for you later this afternoon.
And when I was taking these tests(2005) No one had smartphones or even phones with internet connections. Also, have you ever taken these tests? Imagine NOT using your brain and trying to search for the answers, will probably average you around 5 mins per question, which means you finish maybe half the test.
As far as me going on brain power, most questions were answered before even reading the entire question/multiple choice. I average around 5-10 seconds per question.
Testing is very strict here. And the ACT and SAT is universal. Every state takes the same test...
The smartphone and test arguements are invalid.
As far as the southern baptist thing goes, no I wasnt raised strictly religious. But I know many who were, and they are good people. They dont let their 10 y.o do drugs or even be in a position to know what drugs are or get into that.
I have many faults(drug use) But I have never seen some of the appalling things I saw in cali.
I also met a 14 y.o. crackhead...... Plus Homeless EVERYWHERE! They mustve made good life decisions.
As apposed to Alabama, I have NEVER ONCE seen a homeless in this state, although FEW do exist in Birmingham/Montgomery/ Maybe Mobile.
It seems like 25% of cali's population is homeless.
There are just as many drug users here, but not at such a young age, not even at my age(23). Most heavy users are in their 40's.I only smoke pot.
I dont know how much travelling you guys have done, but I have lived in 6 different states now and some far from the south. The south wins. All other people do is speculate and say inbred, and thats how you will always think of it in your ignorance. Why not gather enough info before you make such a grossly misstated opinion?
