It's not hard to see, just watch Jerry Springer and you'll easily judge the
southerners. But we as a civilized people, should not say "I hate those
southerners, they cause alot of trouble".

It is a form of propaganda, a manipulative information, that can have the
dangers to poison and paralyze the people's thought, loose their
discernment, and be conditioned or to make those individuals to be acted as
en masse.

like what Adolf Hitler said, "By clever and persevering use of propaganda
even heaven can be represented as hell to the people, and conversely the
most wretched life as paradise."

Should you believe everything you hear?
