I think it's a temper tantrum posted by an ignorant, frustrated, and very small person.

That's a lot of the f bomb.

I wish I had more cause to use the term "the f bomb".

he's got some points....but if it wasnt for the south and mid-west, all those fuckers up north would then bitch about food being too pricey because they'd be importing all of it from us had we kept the two countries apart....not to mention all those transplants from up north wouldnt be living here in Florida because we'd tax the fuck out of them. But what the hell, he's just pissed because living up north he doesnt get to see the sun that much this time of year.

My father is a "damn yankee." And for all of you yankees who don't know what that means.

Yankee - A northerner who visits the south.
Damn yankee - A northerner who visits the south and stays.

I do not think that all "yankees" think the same way that this "gentleman" thinks (well I hope they don't), but, I do think that liberals think that way - f-bombs and all. My father is a republican and a local politician and he would definately disagree with this writter.

As a true "bible beating, Jesus Freak, Card Carrying Republican with a gun permit and a gun in my glove compartment," I believe there is no better place to live in the world then the South.

I think that liberals are so very mad at George Bush and his conservative politics and are more mad the there are more of us then there are of them. (please find a pic of the red and blue counties [from the 04 election]http://www.kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/000943.html it is much more impressive then the red and blue states - there are alot of red northern counties)

This "gentleman" said so much with out saying anything of importance and it showed me more of his ignorance then his intellegance.

Yes, I have seen the statistics of welfare recipients and the red and blue states however please look at the statistics of welfare voter registration. I mean I am not on welfare and do not receive any "yankee" assistance - and I VOTE.

Last but not least . . . Liberals are the ones who keep raising welfare and are wanting to keep people on the government payroll so they should be happy that their money is going to some non working red-stater and not into their own pockets. If it were up to me we would drop the "have more children get more government money" thing that liberals love so much and I could keep more of MY MONEY.

Sorry for the rant but I am a proud southern woman with a great private school education and a university degree and I love all of my yankee sisters - liberal or conservative - and I just wanted to give a small rebuttle to that very disgruntled liberal.

(forgive the spelling errors)

I lived in the South for 8 years, and thank God, I was able to leave and return to civilization.

Because it's amusing and interestingly put.
Why are you posting to the thread if you don't like it?

Leave me alone, Tom, and stop visiting any thread I make to complain about it in some way.

I, kddani, am now officially joining the ignore-a-moderator campaign

I think the only point made by this, er, person that could be called valid by any stretch of the imagination is the one about hypocrisy and homosexuals, but s/he really could've stated the case a little better. When you bring yourself down to the supposed level of the people you're ranting against, you lose credibility...fast. As for the rest of it...hmmm, well.

This guy must be jealous b/c the South is truly God's country, especially with all the beautiful, dignified southern ladies we have down here, the wonderful clean air, the openess, the hills, mountains, trees, animals....it brings a tear to my eye thinking about how much better it is down in the South than up in the North.

American by Birth, Southern by the Grace of God

And by the way it is not damn yankees, it is damnyankees (it's one word)

Let's get married. I'll even buy my own ring. OK?

I was born and raised in the South, and ran like hell 2 months after my 18th birthday.

They didn't call it the "Great Migration" for nothing.

I think the rant is hilarious. I've heard it the other way around for most of my life, and I don't take either half seriously.

Have any of the people who talk about how the South is the best place ever actually lived anywhere else?

ADPi Conniebama · #13 03-20-2005, 09:01 PM

Wait, you are correct, I was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama . . . I went to college in Florence, Alabama . . . after graduation I moved to Birmingham, Alabama . . . then 5 years later I moved back to Huntsville, Alabama.

I have visited. . . New York City - the people were extremely nice to me and didn't take advantage of me and laughed with me about my accent (which they said they loved) and I had a great time.

I have visited . . . Indianapolis . . . beautiful city - people were very nice and pleasant and helpful

I have visited . . . San Fransisco (?sp) people were very nice that I dealt with and the city was beautiful . . . at the same time I visited all of the area around there except Oakland and I had a great time.

Lemme see Texas-Oaklahoma-Boston-New Jersey I have visited lots of American States and so far I have enjoyed my self and they were nice places in their own rights BUT I WOULDNT WANT TO LIVE THERE.

That is how God made us all different with different interests, wants and desires. I understand why a person would want to move away to get a specific career path started, however, I have found no personal reason to move out of the south.

Anywhere above the Mason/Dixon line is not for me. Actually I consider some of Tennessee to "northern" for me. But, ALL of America is beautiful from the desserts to the mountains from the flatlands to the swamps . . . . (wow I may brake into song)

I guess my point is I do not think that a "yankee" is an ignorant - mean - s.o.b - just because he/she is from a blue state that is rediculous. "people are people" whether yankee or redneck.

ADPi Conniebama · #14 03-20-2005, 09:59 PM

I was just kidding. But, I once went to Oktibbeha County, Mississippi (Just south of Jackson) and they (my mothers family) considered me a yankee and they didn't know what I was doing there.

I was there for a funeral for my mothers cousin and wow that IS the south. They just considered me "another big city yankee" which was kind of funny 'cause I am just from north Alabama.

ALSO, Sorority girls lets not forget where female secret societies ie, . . .sororities or female fraternities . . started . . . Macon, GA. I know that is kind of off of the subject but I just wanted to pour salt in the wound. And, I am sure the writer of that awful website couldnt care less about sororities - in the south or north or west or east.

I was just reading this old thread (from 2000) about the different races and ethnicities and I thought again about being angry at anyone because of where they live (don't get me wrong the guy who wrote that site is an idiot - in the true sense of the word) however I am going to try not to write any thing else negative or try to answer anything negative on North vs South or the different races.

HAVE A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY DAY!!

You almost feel sorry for someone whose vocabulary is so limited and anger is so palatable that he or she resorts to such vitriol. Maybe somebody didn't get into William & Mary or Vanderbilt? Or maybe was jilted by someone who knew how to form a sentence with the f bomb?

Either way, this person is more to be pitied than anything else. And if you don't believe me, check the "facts" as given - they're all several years old.

FWIW, until recently, I considered myself as a product of both the North and the South, having spent an equal amount of time in both.
