What are mid-western values...

[Fountain79]

Without getting into an argument about religion, what would you characterize as truley mid-western ideals and/or beliefs?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

1. Something I doubt actually exists

except as codespeak for things not to be said out loud.

Taken at face value, it makes as much sense as "midwestern currency."

2. Are you from Missouri?

3. I'm Brazilian

And even from here, this bullshit about "midwestern values" (and other spellings of the same sinister euphemism) looks painfully obvious.

I'd like these people to clearly state what "values" that part of their country has, that others (say, New England) haven't. Or vice versa.

4. Bible belt nonsense

is what comes to my mind.

On a positive note, I think of people with midwestern values as down to earth, practical and hard working folks.

5. Those sound like progressive characteristics to me.

:) And the midwest used to be filled with progressives and populists.

7. Still is

6. Its just local code

for "conservative christian values"
