What regional differences are you/ have you noticed?

Whether you’re in the US or not, have you noticed some major differences in lifestyle choices, politics, dialects, or anything that sparked your interest?

I have noticed that our region is obviously more religious, more pro-military less government, more into corporal punishment, more meat-eating, than a lot of other people on fluther, even in my own country. It’s nothing new, but is enlightening to discover the feelings the differences evoke in conversation.

I’m just curious about what you have noticed about your area, and how you’re different from other areas.
