I can attest to the Florida one not being a stereotype, but actually true.

50 State Stereotypes (in 2 minutes)
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I was born and raised in NM and have lived in TX for the past 12 years, and I can say the TX stereotype is definitely true, but the NM stereotype sounds like a cop out for someone who really doesn't know anything about NM. Roswell (the only place in NM that has anything to do with UFOs) is a small town of about 46,000 people in Southeastern NM (I was born there and grew up 30 minutes from there). I would venture to say that most New Mexicans haven't even been there. I can think of a lot more accurate stereotype than UFOs.
The video did make me want to read the book, though!

Oregon and Washington? Yup.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

If a stereotype is accurate, as it sounds like some of these are, does that mean its not a sterotypes, but rather a truth??

Hawaii - If you lived here you'd be lazy too.
In Mexico, it's manana. In Hawaii, it's next week.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Just remember: Just because something is a stereotype doesn't mean no-one actually acts in that way, simply that it is a mistake to assume all or even most folks act that way. :cat1:
