Our education system also doesn't teach critical thinking. It's incredibly frustrating to see people in my community say absurdly illogical things like "If you want things to get better, stop voting for democrats"
      What on Earth are you talking about? The vast majority of our politicians in SC are REPUBLICAN, and have been FOR DECADES. How could they possibly blame our issues on "democrats"???
      The ugly truth about SC and the Bible Belt is that fundamentalist Christianity often overlaps with bigotry, and that's the real reason they vote red (against their own interests); the GOP is afraid of anyone different, just like they are.

    I wouldn't say south Carolinians want "friendly" people, but they do want *outgoing* people. Southerners think "being friendly" means "no respecting boundaries", so they'll want to know everything about you, and expect you to be open about everything. This is a problem of you're not a traditional-christian-conservative.

    There are three kinds of northerners. 1) The vast majority who are products of their region, have roots and family, like it and stay put. 2)Those who move south because they prefer hot climates with the lifestyle and activities a southern region has to offer. This second group tends to be middle- upper middle class, economically mobile and migrate from metro regions with a higher-than-average cost of living. The bulk of them tend to be retirees. 3) This category includes both retirees and those who relocate due somewhat to circumstances. These transplants who might not be keen on moving south, come because of personal or employment circumstances. This includes a percentage of retirees who couldn't economically swing it and were compelled to move. Both of these sub- groups would've preferred to stay put in their region. It's this third category with the greatest concentration of malcontents.

    This is hot air. I will tell you the lagitamitly number one reason not to move here. South Carolina works HARD to make anyone who wasn't born here homeless. They take FULL advantage of people who move down here with absolutely no affordable housing, no transportation system, and no actual careers. You and your family AND friends will be working 3 jobs to live here, IN AN APARTMENT. Every hurricane season regardless of if one comes anywhere close to SC they will hike up prices on essentials for half a year and act like there were hurricanes happening that whole time. Everything around here is built for consumerism, Tourist's, and a one week trip. This place is NOT ment to start a family or business. In fact you will lose your family, your business AND your sanity trying to live here. The people are 2 faced as HELL. At least in a city if someone hates you, you know it and you can avoid them. Here they act like a bunch of elementary school children trying to dig dirt up on eachother and play social politics. All behind a big smile. You hear about THOSE types of neighborhoods, the ones that are all surface level. THAT'S all of South Carolina. You can't live anywhere around here without an HoA. They care more about appearance then substance. I have lived here for 13 years and OMG do I regret moving here. If you're rich and a HUGE snob, you will fit right in.

Now we have to choose a state to call home. It’s not as easy as it seems. In Canada we can move easily from one part of the country to the next. But there is so much red tape to move from Michigan to South Carolina. My views are heavily Republican/Conservative so this is why I’ve decided the south is calling and it’s time to say goodbye to liberal Canada. I want to raise my young family with people of like minds around me. It will just be a big disappointment if we can’t get to South Carolina but remain in democrat run Michigan after I join my husband in USA.

I had to take off walking alone down the road. They kicked me out. My friend saw me on the road, picked me up. I told him what happened. He went and got yet another friend, and shot gun, and we went back. When they saw who I was with they were instantly cool again.
    People from SC hate people from NC. Their not as friendly as this guy makes out. I know.... I lived it personally. I still live here in NC at the border of SC. Bought a terrible lemon of a car from a small dealer in SC. 7 thousand dollar loss. ANd the roads in SC..... It's like going back in time. Best to own a suv or 4x4. The roads are horrible. Might even go from pavement, to dirt, and back to pavement again. I have followed gps to houses that took me down roads like that. Roads that beat the crap out of my poor little honda.
