edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

ah. feel free to swap in “lots of” instead of “full of” then.

sounds like a regional misunderstanding which you unintentionally misconstrued.

people are not liquids in containers. something like “the government is full of corruption” doesn’t mean “more than fifty percent of government workers are corrupt” it just means “lots of corrupt people in government, can’t ignore that” and i would be more than willing to swap the verbage

glad to clear this up as i genuinely didn’t expect that that would be misunderstood

Maybe it's a regional thing....but I don't think I'm the only one who interpreted it that way.

But yeah, there are plenty of decent people in the South, I wouldn't argue against that. I would argue it's a smaller minority than in some of the other places I've lived though.
