    If you ever do, do you think it's wrong?

    Everyone does. The question is - what is on your checklist?

    Seriously, though, I'm from rural Mississippi.

    So, when I arrived in NYC, you can only imagine what everyone already thought about me.

    ...and then there's what you already thought of Yankees... so it's all even...

    I really didn't know what I was getting into. I quickly discovered, however, that people are people. Mostly good, with a few bad apples.

    I REALLY try not to. I don't think I do it on race. But sometimes I do it in atheism vs non-atheism. I think of atheists/agnostics as angry bitter people. People like Leavingwt,notverylikely,and sabasteous (sorry if I spelled it wrong, dude), have shown me how WRONG I have been. They are truly great guys and people that I am honored to be friends with.

    and undercover, of course. Actually there are VERY few that I keep having that same stereotype with. I hate that I have it for them. But stereotyping is hard to break.
