Why is the South filled with so many disgusting, cowardly fat pigs like
this guy, anyway?

That shirt is clever and funny. Only a neurotic SJW would think it was
"hate."
As far as cowardly goes, I bet he would meet you behind the bbq truck
and whup your assets. I'd be around the front and try the ribs.
The South is filled with a lot of very good people. I'd sure rather
have a breakdown on a rural road in Mississippi than a street in
Newark NJ. In one case I'd be offered help, in the other case I'd be
mugged.
Again, you seem obsessed with race, the South, and people that you
deplore but don't know anything about. That sort of unthinking
prejudice makes for bad electronic design too.
He has no idea of the true character of the people that he is damming. My family is from Appalachia, in Eastern Kentucky. They are all good, hard working people. Mostly farmers who never met a stranger. My grandmother never let anyone leave her house hungry, and the only time the old man's rifle was taken down was when something was after his animals. There aren't many left, that grandmother died in the mid '60s and my dad was the youngest of their large family. Their farm was about 20 miles from the nearest highway, and most of that was down a private gravel road. The hospital that I was born in was closed in the '60s, and is on the 'National Register of Historic Places'. I guess that I'll have to put his messages in the Sloman bucket from now on.
Books and studies have confirmed that rural, religious, conservative
people are kinder and more generous than urban liberals, and adopt
more and voluntarily donate much more to charitable causes.
They donate a lot to "charitable causes", billions of dollars in fact,
things like pro-life and anti-gay organizations that lobby to remake the
United States into their theocratic vision of how it should be, much of
which is entirely contrary to how the Founding Fathers thought it should
be. so when required quotations of Founding Fathers like Jefferson
saying things that they never said are manufactured for the purpose.
There are also "faith-based charities" that provide more pedestrian aid
to the poor but there are usually strings attached - tell the local
faith-based charity in Trump Country you are a gay atheist who needs
assistance paying for food and see how far you get.
The very wealthy tend to be right-wing and many of them go to church
from time to time and often have a home or five in rural areas. they
often make large charitable donations the tax benefits alone are very
appealing. Including them in the picture and on sheer dollar value the
charitable contributions of any other demographic will be beaten handily.
It's easy to find books and studies funded by the Heartland Institute,
Cato, or the John Birch Society which reveal Conservatives to be the
best at whatever topic you care to mention. On the topic of charity
there are also plenty by more reputable sources like MIT that can't come
to a conclusion as to whether there is any statistically significant
difference.
Ironically, leftism is associated with selfishness and anger and
intolerance and stinginess. But all populations have some good and
some nasty people so it's plain ignorant to stereotype an entire race
or sex or religion or region.
It would be extremely ironic, if it were true. It's also worth
mentioning the urban areas of New England, New York, and California have
many many conservatives and right-wingers of all types living there as
well, as you know.

What causes do you donate to? How much?
Kidding aside tho you can fit a decent amount of gear and test-equipment
stuff inside the "Large"-sized postal boxes from the USPS, for about
$80, insured, and it's about 10 days to e.g. South Africa plus around
another two weeks to clear customs. "Humanitarian aid/no retail value"
declaration seems to work OK for a customs-value forms so long as you
limit it to once a month.
For smaller items the "book/VHS mailer" is a good value when sending
stuff overseas, about $30 but not too many people know about it.
Do you actually do that?
Yep, that's why I'm familiar with what a good value the good ol' USPS is
at getting packages to many places in Africa is! The customs clearance
usually takes significantly longer than the transit time. But customs
there is measured in days or a couple weeks at the outside, not months
like Brazil is sometimes
DHL would want like $220 for the same size box to Johannesburg and it
still has to clear customs.

I've no idea if this is stated in the later splurge of this thread. The
New Scientist reports that instead of coming from the sky, analysing the
plastic, its spectrum of types highly suggests it was clothing fibres
shed from walkers/climbers in the immediate area.
I guess what mostly get's my goat, is you are talking
about my neighbors and friends, without knowing them.
And I wonder how it is you don't see you are being a jerk?

Boy, the fund raising numbers sure coulda fooled me. Unless my memory
is failing, I saw something on the net where President Trump' has
already raised more money than the dem fruitcakes combined. Wait til
the President actually starts campaigning.

I try to live by the Scripture my Grandmother taught me "Be known by
thy deeds instead of thy words". Bitrex (too cowardly to use a real
name), I can't imagine how miserable your life must be. Maybe you
showed try that Scripture.

Oh George, don't let him get your goat. He doesn't have enough
standing to do that. I mean, just think of the hate that would be
oozing from his house.
I wondered who "he" might be? Neon John has snipped so enthusiastically that it isn't obvious. By going back down the thread, it looks as if Bitrex is being libelled here.

also I live in a modest condominium at the moment and I would only be
interested in a sustainable solar-powered micro-home with an organic
garden on a small plot of land if I were to go that route.
I'll try to make sure the garden "oozes hate" though. it will be a HATE
GARDEN.
