this one guy i used to work with at my old job, his friend got a job down in florida working for some big company. When he went down there they told him his biggest problem is going to be working with his coworkers. Since he was from NY he would be used to working a lot fast then people there, so they told him not to get completely frustrated when they went slow as hell. ---

I asssure you that Mississippi and Alabama is not indicitave of the entire south. Those of you who know 315ers understand that there are a few toothless idiots who have sex with their kin, and they ruin the entire area’s reputation. But Tennessee and West Virginia are kinda backwards too. ---

> [@RobHimself](#): > > Beat me to it. Arent the VW’s that were built in mexico shotty too? Probably a similiar situation i would imagine. When you think of Mexico, do you think of a thriving literate nation or a nation of cheap labor? I think what you are referring to is just plain old outsourcing for cheaper labor.
