Asshats in general out here are usually transplants. Everyone I know who was born and raised in L.A. is a really nice person. The assholes I come across are almost always from somewhere else including myself. I had the same experience in New York, actually. The middle of this country really produces some jerks.

I refuse to believe that these people weren't originally from Wisconsin.
