The problem is that instead of "discussing" the differences, it just turns into attacking - which has really started in post #1. Your paragraph that you stole from your thread long ago is pretty inflammatory. If this thread continues past the first page, the terms "guido" and "redneck" will be used, and it will get ugly.

Next they get all upset about how down south, when giving bids, we only worry about Dad's social status, and if you drive and American-made truck or SUV. (which is not true)
...and it's all downhill from there.

If you would like to engage in such convo, do so vicariously by reading the old thread that you referenced or striking up a PM conversation with SECdomination.

And to top it off you attempted to re-start the conversation under the guise of "a discussion" but what you really did was start a better than/worse than of fraternity life: North vs. South.

'nuff said. thread closed.
