It does not have to do with geography but with history. The north of the uk did not go into a bloody civil war with the south and for economical reasons (cheap industrial labor) vs even cheaper non-industrial labor. As the discussion started from the remark about bumkins down in N.Carolina to draw parallels about North and South Korea would be meaningless. It relates to the social issues about the "economical development" against the "underdevelopment" of the south. The social implications in which case relate to differentiation in education, health, infrustructure of "developed" areas and underdeveloped areas. Before the civil war started things were pretty reversed with S.Carolina having almost 10 times the per capita income of the rest of the US, the best schools and the best of everything. In the UK the NHS and public schools were pretty much equal for all, it had nothing to do with regional economic development. > Lisi I don't know why you are derailing the issue to something completely irrelevant, unless there is a N.Carolina down south in the UK I don't know about! We do want southerners (down southerners) of all kinds equally welcome in this Debian community, don't we? Even Aboriginees from S.Australia.
