I mustve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
Theyre moving into the street.
Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.
Theres too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

Genesis - Land of Confusion
After eight months of working and traveling around the south, I feel I can definitively say that I hate this place (it has been pointed out to me that my hatred may only apply to the deep south, but that's a matter of semantics). The south is just not my place. Here is why I hate this place:
1) The Racial Divide
Say what you want, but it's still segregated as hell down here. Different races tend to have their own neighborhoods and racism still abounds. What people wouldn't dream of saying up north due to common decency is throw around here as if it means nothing at all. Just listening to people down here talk (decent people that I've worked with) is rather disheartening. If you are gay or colored or otherwise different from the average white-man down here, there is an inherent bigotry towards you that you will have to overcome
2) Welcome to... 1977?
Seriously, coming to this place is like stepping into a time machine. There aren't Starbucks at every corner (which I'm sure seems great until you're looking for a decent cup of coffee in the morning and all you find is Bubba's discount gas) and the whole region has a sort of innocence to it, like it hasn't been perverted by the hedonism of modern culture. Okay, I guess that's cool and all, but living in the past will only make you aversive to the present. Walking into a bar here and seeing confederate flags everywhere.... I mean, come the fuck on! You guy lost the war (and it's the Civil War, not the War of Northern Aggression you dumbasses) and it's time to realize you're part of this fucking country. Get rid of your damn flags and don't give me that 'it's part of our culture' bullshit. You mean a culture of racism and slavery? It's 2007, time to act like it
3) No Dunkin Donuts
Really, why aren't there any down here? No where else can you get an iced coffee and a croissant breakfast sandwich. I beg of you Dunkin Donuts, the South needs you! And while were at it, I miss Wawa too. They need to start spreading. Can we just replace McDonalds with Wawa? Is anyone against this?
4) The Environment
They don't care about the environment here. My background is in environmental science and I love nature... yeah, this bothers me a tad bit. Try and find a place to recycle here. I dare you. Hunting for sport is commonplace (let's kill animals so I can feel like a real man!), and everyone down here drives a truck. Here's my problem with trucks: economically they make no sense and they're AWFUL for the environment. Now if you need a truck to haul stuff or go off-roading, that's one thing, but how many people are actually using their trucks for that? These things eat gas like a fat man at a buffet. And you have all those Chevy and Ford ads basically telling you that trucks are the 'All-American' vehicle. What a bunch of crap. All these things do is abuse the environment and help to perpetuate American dependency on foreign oil. Every time we buy a truck we make a Saudi prince smile. Someone needs to teach the south what the word 'conservation' means.
5) Neglect of Public Health
The South is fat. Look at this report. It's disgusting. And the thing is, they don't give a fuck. They continue to eat BBQ and fried foods (why is there a need to fry pickles of all things?) and smoke like chimneys. Dude, it doesn't get nearly as cold here as it does up north. Go out and run you fat bastards! Have some self-pride.
6) They drink light beers
Pussys.
7) The Redneck Factor
The Redneck stigma is commonplace in the south, and it almost seems like people down here embrace it. You realize we make fun of you for being a 'redneck', right? Oh, and then they call us 'yankees'. Really? That's an insult? Idiots.
8) The Bible Belt
You see churches every 20 feet here. It's ridiculous. No where else have I seen dry counties and such overt conservatism. The preacher said gays are bad, so they must be. How about thinking for yourself for a fucking change? I have no problem if you wanna be religious, but don't let it control your life and don't let it determine how you're going to judge other people. Granted, if I lived in the south I might have to turn to God just so I wouldn't go insane and kill myself.
9) Learn toTalk
Y'all is NOT a word. Also, please remove the mothballs from your mouth when you speak. Thanks.
I'm ready to get out of the south. Seriously. Some people down here still want to secede? Fuck it, do it. I'm sure I'll just miss Houston sooooo much. The only good things in the south are New Orleans and some of those old settlement sites you find in Virginia (note: there are many, though that may not even consider Virginia to be in the south; note 2: I have heard good things about Nashville and Austin; note 3: I don't consider Florida to be a part of the south, it just seems like its own place; note 4: I'm not counting all the great bands that have come from the south). All the major cities are in the north. Do we even need the south for any reason? I don't. Nuke the place and be done with it. We could then teach evolution in all classrooms, have an actual intelligent president, and make some headway in saving the environment.

1) I lived in the South for 17 in Atlanta and has been everywhere in the South. In Atlanta there are tons of Starbucks
2) Northern Florida is very Southern, if you even went down there.
3) Dont be RACIST against rednecks, because there are some really smart ones out there, i went to school with a lot of them
4) Austin is part of the Southwest
5) The KKK only has like a 1000 members, although there are some areas where there is prevelant racism, a lot of places arn't
6) We do care about the evironment, we just like to have fun, unlike you
7) Who gives a fuck if there is a Church every 20 feet, there is freedom of religion
8) People can say whatever they want, how they want according to Freedom of Speech.
9) Never come back to the South, we hate you damn yankee's anyway
Every Southerner has a veneer of hypocrisy, and beneath the veneer is the deeper MOTHERLODE of hypocrisy.
If you don't like the way we do things down here you can take your yankee ass back up to Manhattan. You won't be missed!
I hate the south. I am sick of hearing how amazing your football teams are and how you all are taught to read at a second grade level. You all make me sick you Bumpkin Ass Holes. I went down south 2 years ago thinking I would be treated with a dose of Southern comfort yet I realized Southern people are so fucking rude they hate people from the north. I think the main reason for this is their inability to speak and read.
Hey Jackass, if you don't like the south please hit 95 North and don't look back, you stupid, arrogant, fucking yankee. I would rather piss blood for the rest of my life than have another one of you mother fuckers tell me how great it is up in hell. Fuck you!
I could not agree more with your anti-South statements. I wish we could give that part of the country away to somebody who wants it. It is the land of morons who think their "culture" is so superior to that of the North. They are stuck in the past and the people and their land look like it. I HATE the way they talk and the women there are such dim bulbs. It's all about Nascar and fishing and shooting whatever animal is around. There's just nothing upstairs. Thank God I'm a Northerner. Will never even visit the South again unless it is some kind of dire emergency.
Yes, I hate it here! I will be in JackASSville 5 more years...Land of the STUPID! They don't even cover their mouths when they cough..Super "nice" to your face then unbelieveable BACKSTABBERS the very second you walk away...and 95% of the women are fat, long purple nailed Farrah Fawcett-wannabees!
I just saw this post today and I find that much of mirrors my own thinking.
Recycling is difficult here. I am working in Memphis and this city has fewer recycling locations that rural MN (where I live for real).
Too many churches. The noisy religiousity of the people scares me.
I just read this post it's so damn funny! I couldn't agree more. I have been stuck here for three years. I hate the South also!
You forgot to mention the litter. Litter is everywhere. So sad.
boring argument.
neighborhoods in the northeast are just as segregated. a good amount of people in california claim not to be racist, but hate asians. it's silly. if you want to see racism, go to arizona or colorado.
I lived in the Midwest, Northeast, West Coast and the South. Midwest was boring as all hell, Northeast too fast and friggen cold in many ways, West astronomically expensive and super fake. I find traditional lower income Southerners to be rather dumb, but a good time and if you are patient enough to get through the seemingly mandatory ignorance on the surface, you can reap the benefits of southern prosperity, beautiful terrain and live like a king running circles around them in the job market:) Where else in this thoroughly biased country can you drive a Prius to the local pub to play cards one night, and then your Harley Softail the next and not get your ass kicked either? In a pecan shell, rednecks are easy to get along with if you put your hatred aside, and IF you can, you make a difference in showing them the light outside of thier family trees that run straight up;)
There is only one group of people in the entire world besides islamic extremists that I can safely say I hate, and that is the conservative christian right of the south. THese people are impeding our country's progress to move forward in the world with their backwards thinking and unwillingness to accept certain facts. Hopefully these ignorant people will be bred out of our population.
PS I know there are also a lot of people from the south that do not have the views of the people I described above, and for that, I commend you for being brave enough to feel that way down there! Stay strong.
I totally agree with your post. The "South" is really a state of mind. I grew up in Texas, but am hispanic and don't subscribe to the confederate redneck Republican line of thinking. I don't consider myself a "southerner".
You're also right about Austin. What a great city. I would have stayed there too if I could have found a job in my field.
I hate the South because of:
1) Traditional backward thinking that has led them to defend slavery, jim crow segregation, the confederacy, and traditional keep women in the kitchen having babies attitudes. And let's not forget their former/current opposition to interracial marriage, birth control pills, and gay rights or their hate for nonwhites, foreigners, and people who are trying to do some good in this world: environmentalists, feminists, human right activists, etc. Southerners have been so wrong about these social issues in the past and yet they think they're right this time around?
2) The strong influence they have in government, especially in the election of the president. The South has and continues to hold this nation from moving forward at a rate that it should.
They also tend to be rude self righteous hypocrits, who preach about individualism and yet carry a strong strain of authoratarianism. They let their preachers, mommies and daddies, and local college dropout radio pundits do most if not all of their thinking. For a bunch of "individualists", they sure don't like to question authority. It's the do as your told because it's always been that way mentality that has led the South to rank last in almost every category from income to health.
Ultimately, it is that line of thinking that makes someone a real southerner.
Man you are my new hero. I'm a southerner born and raised and when I say the south is racist, ignorant, and too damn conservative I mean it man, I hate the fucking south. And you're right LIBERAL Austin and New Orleans are the only fucking fun cities in this conservative Christian hell hole. I'm moving up north soon and I can't wait, my mom is from Philly and although Philly isn't lily-white, conservative, family orientated, or any of the other "values" these hillbillies cherish it is still a "REAL" city with REAL people who aren't overly FAKE and BACKSTABBING like most people in the south, ppl up north tell you what's on their mind, people down south lie to your face and talk about your ass bad when you're away.
Southerners drop the "we'll secede" line like it's a threat...hell, they should be expelled.
Understand this: to the southerner, what people think of them means everything - it's a culture of honor based on pure hate. Yes, there are the arrogant, blatantly aggressive grand dragons that are easy to identify. Nevertheless, the real danger is the educated, well spoken foot soldier. These are the people who use the "churches", office cliques, and the little league/soccer/high school sports fund raising circuits to reinforce/spread their dysfunctional venom.
These are the examples southern sympathizers point when they pathetically attempt to defend their Third-Word Confederacy; They are useful as props of "Southern Hospitality" because they perpetuate that "values"crap - in name, mind you, certainly not substance.
The danger is their version of “values” is comprised of their gospel of hate. Damage to this country by Southerners is inflicted under the radar, and when brought to the fore, the exposer is accused of hyperbole or over generalization. The southern response: the shield of victimization combined with the sword of arrogance - the “there’s I95, leave” bull crap. We treat these people with kid gloves and glorify them with crap like the "Blue Collar Comedy" garbage.
All southern business should be boycotted, funding for their pathetic states cut-off and all northerners SHOULD leave the south.
Leave these people with their wretched little cesspools they claim to love so much.
BTW, we finally have a president who has proven we don't need Southern opinion or votes to run the country. Now, goofballs like Mitch McConnell (KY) & Bob Corker (TN) are among the remaining obstacles that we need to get around as they play martyr and stand in the way of progress ... as they attempt to distance themselves from the bigger goofball from Texas we kicked out of the White House.
Everything is correct, except y'all. Y'all most certainly is a word. Actually its not, but oh well. Yes Southerners are completely f'ing backwards and it is completely disgusting, but the good news is that as the rednecks and scum die off, they are replaced with semi-intelligent people, which is atleast some kind of improvement.
I agree the south sucks ass. I have been stuck in this hellhole for 16 years now. I cannot wait to graduate college and move the fuck out.
FUCK GEORGIA AND FUCK THE SOUTH!
I can relate to at least half of your posts... although, there are more "yankees" than Southerners in FL... and the KKK is waaaay bigger than that. I moved Seattle to a small town with 163 churches. Suffice it say, if I do stay in TX (NOOOO!), I'm moving to Austin.
www.yankeesofthesouth.com
you are right about everything...I am a northern girl going to school in the "deep south" the intellect level here is sad...it makes me sick
Falling Angel I understand some of your point of view. . . and I also feel you are overly harsh and rather ignorant in some of your other opinions as well. I was born (part cherokee) and raised in the South i.e. rural Kentucky, rural Alabama, New Orleans. . and have lived in the Florida Keys, and Seattle WA.
I reckon I have a unique perspective on american culture and regional identity and I can understand fair and and unfair critique. Everyone is entitled to their preferences and opinions and choice of non-harming lifestyle.
It's not accurate, nor intelligent, to bash an entire region. There are many things to love about southern culture as there are many unsavory aspects as well. Which is true of any culture. Gays, people of color, and other minorities experience bigotry all over. . . and rather equally in todays world.
History is written and promoted by the victors. It wasn't long ago that Native Americans were the victims of genocide and labeled as culturally inferior. So our understanding of history and TRUTH is highly SUBJECTIVE. You should know that a great majority of southern soldiers were not fighting to defend slavery. Only a small percentage (an elite) of southerners even owned slaves. Also, Many northern Generals -Union Generals and staff- kept slaves to serve them! A fact rarely focused on in history classrooms.
After much research I have come to unconventional conclusions on what most refer to as the Civil War. Many were fighting against Despotism and were defending (with heart, mind, body, and family) Constitutional Ideals. . . while still others were simply standing up to invasion from a corporate aggressor/invader (a natural reflex when someone is burning your farm down).
So please realize you may not be as undisputably correct as you may believe yourself to be.
On the other hand. . . . = ) I also share your disdain for unhealthy lifestyles. The South is a tremendous offender in this regard. I know. No argument for me here. I cringe when I hear someone going on and on with words about pride . . . bouncing forth from a massive gut and doubled chin . . while throwing garbage from a truck.
However I don't believe Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, or non-light beers to be the answer. My family and I eat Organic/Whole Foods and never buy fast-food. I also find a lighter ale to be much more pleasant an experience in a hot climate.
There are uneducated boneheads in every city I have seen. They posses all colors of skin and identify with many different cultures.
You have to realize historically that like New Orleans now. . there has never been much sustained effort put forth to rebuild and fund any grand educational renaissance for the Southern States. In fact, there are many examples of how we have been exploited and repeatedly punished for being on the correct side of MANY, MANY constitutionally accurate (i.e. " Patriotic American") arguments.
I'm not a church goer per say. . . but don't have a problem with people that value community and family. . . as long as they don't push it on others or use it to condemn.
All in all, the happiest , friendliest people I have seen in this country are southern by birth and culture. . . and i prefer the southern accent too. . especially on a loving woman. I delight in the way the long vowel sounds dance in a musical fashion from mouth to ear. I love country/delta blues, classic country music, and western swing.
I also agree Yankee is not very potent in a derogatory fashion. I always thought the terms "Corporate Cock-Smoker" or "Fascist" was more fun and accurate in regards to some people (calling themselves Patriotic Americans) Northern or Southern.
HELLO! the south is the foundation of american life. You fucking yankees have no morals. if you're so tolerant, than why do you slam christianity? I HATE THE NORTH!!! people from the north are small and wimpy! Two of the greatest football players of all time have come from the south!!! (peyton manning, jerry rice) so you stuck-up queer-ass yankees can go suck a cock!!!
Great post...
I was raised in the south...then promptly got out... I am back here for school and because I have family... WOW... what the hell, I forgot how bad it was, or just didn't notice as a kid because my parents tried to kind of keep me out of the ignorance... now that I am older I see it WAY more obviously than I did just in school. I have lived several non south places since then and the ignorance around here is AMAZING.
There is still blatant racism and just going out and talking to people make me uncomfortable. Can't wait to get out of here, it is pretty much daily that I have to do a double take to hear some ignorant statement that came out of somebodies mouth. Will be out of here though in less than 2 years so... I think I can make it :)
Hey Georgia Boy, seriously you all do really need to get over the civil war. It was fuckin 155 years ago, you see confederate flags all the time. Also I hate how you all (notice i didnt say y'all) call it the war of northern aggresion. You attacked first!! I know not everyone is like what I am dexcribing but I feel bad for those wh are because they have been so brainwashed. It makes me sad to see the rascicsm too, confederates say that the north took away their right so they had the right to secede, this may be acceptable usually but they forget the right is the enslavement of equal humans.
Anyway, I just think that SOME southerners need to wake up to the 21st century and get over their rascict confederate lovin ways.
North rocks
Okay, I don't think it will really matter, considering you are obviously an extremely hard headed and stereotypical person, but I am going to address some of your comments. Why? Because although some of your statements might be true, the majority are opinionated, hypocritical and uneducated statements.
I was born and raised in S.C. Now don’t start calling me some dumb, uneducated redneck from an inbred, redneck family (that is what you were thinking right?) I have a B.A. in history, a minor in political science, a Master’s in Education, and hope to soon begin working towards my Phd. in either history or education. What is your educational background? On a 4.0 scale I graduated with a 3.0 in high school, 3.2 for undergrad, and a 3.75 in graduate school. Not great, but not bad! What were your grades like? Do you even have an education? Considering some of your comments, I’m starting to wonder. My entire immediate family has a college education; father, brother, husband and mother (associates degree). I in no way fit any of your stereotypes and it really ticks me off when someone starts bashing the south just because *insert whiny voice* “they don’t like it hear.”
1. The Racial Divide – Are there racists in the south? Yes! Are there racists in the north, west, Midwest, great plains, southwest? Yes! Do I have the same beliefs? NO, NO, NO and neither do the majority of people I am friends or acquaintances with. I have met many racists from many different states. My husband’s roommate in college was the most racist person I have ever met. Where was he from? New York.
There are racists everywhere. I am not excusing it. But, it is not a southern problem. It is a worldwide problem. Stop be so regionally biased and stereotypical! It puts you on the same level as the racists.
2. a. There aren’t Starbucks at every corner! Oh my God, the world is coming to an end. We have 8 in my hometown. There are 3 in the next town over. What are the populations of these towns? 50,000 and 20,000. You can get your Starbucks in the south. I don’t know where you have been, but obviously your travel hasn’t been extremely extensive considering here there are 11 Starbucks within a 50 mile radius. Not every corner, but I’m pretty sure it will suffice. Now if that isn’t enough Starbucks for you, then let me explain how I go about handling things I can’t find when I go up north to visit my in-laws. I can’t get sweet tea in the north. Everyone has unsweetened, but not sweetened. What do I do? I either do not get sweet tea or I sweeten it myself. I don’t demand they start sweetening their tea just because I’m there. That would be self-centered. If you can’t get what you consider a good coffee then either (1) don’t get coffee or (2) make it at home yourself.
b. Please tell me what is wrong with innocent. In our world today we have 1000’s of wars and conflicts in the world, murder every five seconds, child abductions, rape, and I could go on. A little innocence is what this world needs.
c. I know one bar in my hometown that hangs a confederate flag. One out of about 500. I know of very few that hang confederate flags in any of the southern states I’ve been too. Confederate flags everywhere. You are either sadly mistaken or have a bad habit of choosing the wrong bars.
d. I know it is called the civil war you moron. I’m a history teacher. I have never called it the War of Northern Aggression. I have never known anyone who has called it this. I teach the Civil War accurately and in detail.
3. Why are there no Dunkin Donuts? Well there are Dunkin Donuts in the south. You are lying when you say there are none. There are 8 in Texas, 3 in Tennessee, 1 in LA, and numerous ones in SC, NC, GA, and Fl. Now there are 0 out west and 0 in the northern great plain states. We have more Dunkin Donuts than every region of the U.S. with the exception of the north and mid-west states. Why? Maybe because the chain is out of Massachusetts. Why are there more Krispy Kremes down south? Because they are located out of Raleigh, N.C. This isn’t rocket science. It’s all about preference and originating location.
4. a. I love nature too. I love trees. Where the hell are all the trees in the big cities up north. Oh that’s right. They cut them all down. Here in the south we have tons of them. Why? Because we don’t have an enormously ridiculous big city every 15 miles. Those cities ruin the environment too.
b. I recycle. We have recycling centers in the south. You might have to deliver the recycling yourself, but we do have them. Now ask yourself, is there no places to recycle or are you just too lazy to take it yourself. We recycle at the school I work at. I make the kids recycle. My recycling bin has more in it by the end of the day than the trash cans. The same applies for all of the other teachers and their recycling bins at the school.
c. Yes southerners hunt. But, the majority eat the meat they kill. The meat they kill is not some steroid and hormone pumped cow or chicken, it is natural wild game. Are you a vegetarian? If not then you are eating a dead animal. At least the hunters don’t torture the animals they kill by pumping them with chemicals first. Do you drink milk or eat cheese. The milk cows are being pumped with chemicals too. I have eaten wild game. I have gone fishing and eaten the fish I brought back. I also only care to eat organic and chemical free animal products in the hopes the animals are treated better. Hunting or slaughtering cows for market. The end result is the same. I know very few hunters that do it for sport.
d. Yep southerners love their trucks. My father has a truck, but he works on construction sites all day and has to survey undeveloped and sometimes muddy, terrain since he is a civil engineer. My brother has a truck, but he also is a civil engineer like my father. In fact the only truck owners I know have those trucks because they need them for work or they are hunters ( I know you love to hear that right). How often do you fly? How often to you drive long distances. I guarantee that you have polluted the environment more than my family and I, we rarely travel long distances and never fly.
5. Yep, we’re more overweight than northerners. I don’t have a defense for this. But, I’m curious. If you are so concerned with the health of southerners then why do you want to add a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts on every corner. Why do you want southerners to drinking light beer. You are being very hypocritical and selfish. Basically, you are saying let me have my Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and dark heavy beer, but southerners you aren’t allowed to go there because you are too fat. It’s all for the handful of northerners who want those things. Wow. By the way do you have any idea how bad caffeine is for your heart and how many calories and fat grams is in a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts coffee. Drink one of those a day and your heart will be as bad as a smokers lungs.
6. They drink light beers. Well you say southerners are too fat. Wouldn’t they just get fatter without light beers. By the way compare Guinness to Michelob Ultra. Did you compare? That’s why I go with Ultra.
7. Rednecks. Yep, we call ourselves rednecks. Just like I’ve heard northerners call themselves Yankees. Yep we use that as an insult. Just like you don’t think Yankee is an insult, we don’t think Redneck is an insult. You obviously embrace the term Yankee. We look at it as a bad thing. I would be offended if someone called me a Yankee. Why? Because, it would put me in the same classification as you. This is a difference of opinion on the meaning of the words. Idiot!!!
8. Churches every 20 feet. Hmmm. Well we like our churches. We have something called freedom of religion in America. Not everyone is religious, but many are and we have a right to build a place of worship. You say you have no problem if we want to be religious, but then you say don’t let it control our life. News flash. Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and all religions are a life style. Yes, my religion requires me to live the life style of a Christian. That means Christianity does control my life. If it didn’t then I wouldn’t be a Christian. When you say don’t let it control your life, you are basically telling religious people that they can’t practice the religion of their choice. So you obviously do have a problem with it. By the way, I have noticed more judgemental statements in your post alone than I have ever heard in a sermon at church. Before you tell Christians not to judge other people you might need to look at how you judge people yourself. Obviously you use your personal beliefs to judge others.
9. Neither is "you’s guys", but I hear plenty of Northerners say that. You say remove the mothballs from our mouths. Well why don’t northerners learn to respect the privacy of others and turn down the volume when they speak. I don’t want to eat dinner at a restaurant and have my 2 year old hear someone tell there friends about “the chick I f***ed the night before” (using those exact words). By the way southerners are not the only people with accents. The worst accents are from up north. Brooklyn, Boston, Jersey. Oh my god. Those accents are like nails down a chalk board.
You say you are ready to get out of the south. Great. Please Go. I’m curious as to why you stay if you hate it so much. Let me guess you have a job here. You make a lot of money at that job. Ahhh. Now I understand. You hate us, but don’t have a job up north. I’m going to give you a piece of advice. If you don’t like the south, don’t move here. I’m not particularly fond of the north so I’m not planning on moving there. But, if that was the only place I could get a job, I would move there and not complain about a thing. Why? It would be rude and prejudiced. Just like you are rude, stereotypical and prejudiced. Prejudiced against the south.
Please if you have a response to this let me see it. Post it on hear or your next blog. Be man enough to let everyone see it. I want to hear it. If you don’t respond I’m going to guess that you are man enough to dish it out, but you don’t have the nerve to respond to a southerner who is simply trying to defend the land she loves and adores. So are you going to reply or be a ….what did you say… oh yeah …. a pussy!!!!
It's hilarious to me that the posters defending the South are only reinforcing everything the original author said.
Also hilarious that the post before last was so long. Proves how much free time there is in the South because there's nothing to do.
But "BLESS YOUR HEART!!!"
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for letting me know I am not alone in my disgust for all things Suthin'! I've been here a year and a half, and I'm counting the minutes until I can get out of this place. Before I got here (Piedmont, S.C.), I never knew I could even hate DIRT, but the orange soil looks likes crushed flowerpots, and as an amateur botanist, I must say I'm disappointed in the flora...and the overdevelopment...and the wretched religious republicans...and thayer axsayent is like fingernails on a blackboard. Give me a good Boston non-rhotic broad-A anyday.
Incidentally, GNIS lists 6,676 churches in S.C. Land area is 30,109 sq. mi., so 0.221/sq. mi. Mass., with 20,306 sq. mi. has 2,386 churches listed, so 0.1175 per square mile or about half the church density. I should take the time to figure it per capita, but I'll leave that for anyone who's interested.
The ugly soils down here, by the way are ultisols, and are nearly all severely eroded due to decades of gross mismanagement by local farmers who apparently didn't have much between the ears.
I moved to Fayetteville North Carolina in 2007. I moved from Long Island NY. Lets just say this, I will NEVER relocate for my job again, unless is to either, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philidelphia, Miami, or Seattle....
The southern way of life is fine, if your into isolation, church, friend chicken, and racial hatred. All of these southerners hate gays, but there are so many gay men and women in the military here...Doesnt the south LOVE the military? hahaha, fools.
"Hmmm... what can I say about people from the South? They tend to be proud of their agressive ignorance."
I can't understand why ANYONE with an education would be living in the South. Although, there may be the problem. I have a cousin who teaches 11th grade in NC, and she has told me that most of the kids in her class are at a 4th grade reading level. How does that happen exactly? I'm not saying they are all the same. But i'd be willing to bet they all have a confederate flag hiding somewhere in the house. It's a sign of your heritage? Really? Would that be a heritage of betrayl, slavery, bigotry, lack of education...? What exactly are you proud of? Who pays for your new roads and stop signs? The North's tax money pays it. Where are all the National Monuments? In the North. Where are all the Ivy League schools? In the North. Who needs them? Let them go. They could never make it on their own anyway. Try having a discussion on setting up Government with people who have no teeth.
Someone calling me a Yankee is the least of my problems. If someone implied I was a redneck I'd be mortified. Although, I do find them good for Entertainment value. Aren't stupid people funny?

Read it. It's all true!
The character of Cletus, the hillbilly in The Simpsons, would not be possible if he were portrayed as someone from north of the 40th parallel. Hard frost is good for mind and body.
"Also hilarious that the post before last was so long. Proves how much free time there is in the South because there's nothing to do. "
1) Did you not notice how long the original blog post was. He obviously has just as much spare time as me.
2) In order to prove a point, a person must state their position, give an arguement for that opinion and support it with evidence. Obviously my comment is going to be long if I am disputing a long post to begin with. It's called making an intelligent arguement in order to prove a point.
"It's hilarious to me that the posters defending the South are only reinforcing everything the original author said."
Please explain in detail how I have reinforced anything the original author has said.
My guess is you never bothered to read my post because you considered it too long. If that is the case then the only conclusion that I can make is that you lack the intelligence to comprehend comments longer than 2 or 3 sentences.
"I can't understand why ANYONE with an education would be living in the South."
Because many people orginally from the south are very well educated and we like our home town.
Why do northerners who hate the south move here?
To Tyler: Did you read anything I wrote?
- I don't own a Confederate Flag and don't say it is part of my heritage.
- "Who pays for your new roads and stop signs? The North's tax money pays it." Do you seriously believe this. We have our own state tax and we pay for our own roads in S.C. Where is your evidence for this. In my opinion you are talking out of you rear.
- Why are the national monuments in the north? Well most of them are in Washington D.C. So yes most are in the north. Why? Because it is the capitol of the U.S. Most national monuments are located in the capitol of the country.
- The Ivy league schools are in the north, because the group that created the term Ivy league wanted to organize a group of northern schools with academic excellence. Why are there no Ivy league schools in the West, Plains, Midwest, etc. Because they are not in the north. We have numerous fine schools in the south. Duke, Rice, Emory, Vanderbilt, University of VA, were all ranked in the top 25 of the U.S.'s best school by U.S. News and World Report. Are the Ivy League schools the best? Yes. That doesn't mean that good southern schools don't exist.
- By the way I suppose you believe that only northerners go to the Ivy league schools and only southerners go to the southern schools. Right ;).
I find it hilarious that I have not seen an intelligent response to any of my points from the northerners. All I have seen are stereotypical rants and raves about how they are so superior or insults about my intelligence that have no basis. It really makes me question their intelligence. In fact I'm starting to think that the northeners on this site are unable to put together a logical, intelligent arguement. Therefore, they stoop to stereotypical insults instead.
By the way I am Amanda I just used my google account so you (any of you) could supply me with a rational arguement if you so choose.
wow, how petty you are.
most of your points are unintelligent and trivial. seriously, one minute you're bitching about how there's no starbucks and dunkin' donuts and then you want to call us fat. and if a southern accent bothers you that much, take your yankee ass back to the north please.
Truth is that the only reason I'm in the South is that I committed a very grievous sin, which was deemed so horrendous that the Devil couldn't find a Dantesque circle miserable enough for me. He therefore sent me here, where the climate is a bit more tepid than anything in the underworld, the land uglier, and the people more unpleasant.
The sooner I get back to the ultima Thule north of forty, the happier we'll be.
If you're ever not crazy about where you live, go down South and you will learn to LOVE where you're from.
Fuck the south. 20% of the state of South Carolina can't read or right. Most of my customers can't tell their right from their left hand. I thought having sex with your sister or cousin was just a bad southern myth until met a product of incest twice! Un-fucking-beilevable. I have been told lie after lie from everyone I've met down here. It's like they're incapable of distinguishing truth from lies. Lazy, good for nothing liers! At first I thought it was just me being closed minded or whatever but, every person I've met from out of state agrees with me 100%. Sad really. Being in the south makes me ashamed to be an American.
I moved to Savannah 4 years ago. I have lived in the north and the west but never have I seen the bigotry towards northerners simply because they were from the north. I have tried to work here and earn an honest days living but the back stabbing and hatred simply because "I'm not from around here" is constantly the undermining what we try to do. Stop talking about the Civil War for Christs sake and get over it, you lost! Where would we be if the south HAD won that war - I hate to think!
Well, Amanda has given me a great lead-in to what I've intended to post for several days now:
In most parts of the country, if you say "I don't like this part of the country," the locals will be no more offended than if you say "I don't care for meatloaf." In other words, not a big deal. But if you tell a southerner that you don't like the south, he/she reacts as though you said his/her mother is a whore. I'm not sure if the average southerner is so insanely proud of this foetid wasteland, or if there is actually deep shame among them, and you're opening an unhealed wound.
If you want to be alone, go into a South Carolina library. I'm online in one now, and I could run naked and no one would see me. This is truly the homeland of Cletus Spuckler.
I wish I could find a Yankeeland embassy, so I could spend some time with my own subspecies.
Wait wait wait... I'm really confused. Are there two different "Amanda's" posting here? If I'm reading and thinking correctly (and admittedly the South shrivels all brains over time), the first posts by "Amanda" are in defense of the South, and the most recent post despises the South.
One or the other might want to consider posting under a different nickname. Or if the two are one, please tell how you suddenly saw the Light, the Truth, and the Way.
There are most definitely two different Amanda's.
Wait. You traveled to another place and its culture was different from your culture so you hate it? Isn't there a word for that?
I've travelled to numerous areas and different cultures. Many of them fascinate me and I would love to spend the rest of my life in them. New England, northern Michigan, northern Europe, Scandinavia. There are some that were rather interesting to visit, but I wouldn't much want to live there, such as Navajoland. And then there's the deep South, or at least Piedmont S.C, an area that a major nuclear blast could only improve.
Pleased to meet you, Amanda #2, not so much so Amanda #1. I'm really surprised this message board allows duplication of screen names. But I guess it makes it possible for there to be 10,000 different Anonymouses, the most recent of whom is accusing me of being something, but I'm honestly unaware of just what word or phrase he has in mind, so I'll assume the word is "discerning," and thank him for the compliment.
You know, for yall to talk about how racist Southerners are, you sure seem to be filled with hate.
I'm not sure to whom that last comment was directed. I know I haven't mentioned anything about racism, and actually, it seems the South is more successfully integrated than the North, and blacks here seem to be relatively higher on the social and educational scale compared to northern urban areas.
hmmm. wawa? THAT would be South Jersey. And i was born and raised there. I miss Jersey so much. Ive lived in texas for four years. moved my freshman year. the school i went to had 400 kids. im used to a couple thousand. they all criticized me. i had teachers telling me i was a yankee and that i needed to leave. Do you actually think i want to be here? really? The south is exactly how you said it is. it fucking sucks. You just forgot one thing. They can't drive for shit here. so fucking slow. I cant wait to go back home.
Slow drivers in Texas, too? For as long as I've had cruise control, I've always set it at 5 miles an hour over the speed limit. Most places I've been, that speed is considered midway between conservative and old-fogy, and a safe speed for going by any police car. But down here in S.C., most people seem to putter along at 5 miles an hour UNDER the limit. If I were driving along in an attractive area, I wouldn't mind going slow and enjoying the scenery. But upstate SC ain't much to look at, unless you love kudzu.
I am really happy that someone has a site like this. The only thing I disagree with about this site is that I probably hate the South even more than you do. I am hoping that Texas will leave the country and then the rest of the scum will follow. Even Bill Clinton, one of the few good people to come out of that sleezy region, will not live there. He knows better. Indeed, he did not even go to Virginia, Duke, or Emory. He knew that at the end of the day, he would still be in the South.
I am hoping that many non-Southerners who were born after 1960 will begin to see that South is as bad as it is. Many non-Southerners think of Atlanta and Austin and say that if it were not for the heat, they could live there. Most of the people they know in the South are from the North! They do not know the ones who live in hollows, fuck and rape their sisters, and who consider barbeque and potatoe chips to be gourmet foods. I was in Nashville at a "fine" restaurant and potatoe chips was the side dish!
I am really hoping that non-SOutherners will become as prejudiced against the SOuth as am I. Many Northerners think that Savanah is cute. Besides having a terrible smell, the vast majority of the whites in this city (if you could call it that), believe that Obama is not American.
We need to fight these people and not turn the other cheek. We need to stop thinking of them as naively innocent. They are hateful and we have turned the other cheek for 50 years. Look at their disgusting Senators and Congressman. These people are truly dangerous. Moreover, the middle aged folks in the SOuth are producing little robot bastards that are just as scummy. Check out the Princeton Review and the students at SMU and Texas A&M. Just as sleezy as their parents. Moreover, DUke, which the South always points to as a way to give them some class, is totally fake. The campus has fake buildings made to look old, the place was founded on the backs of lung cancer victims, and the professors cheat.
Let us get up a donation to help the scum leave the country.
one more thing. People who study American History at Duke are taught to refer to the Civil War as the War of Northern Agression. Can you believe this? The school has to hire Northerners to teach there because they can not find faculty in the South who are qualified to teach at a school that refers to itself as "The Harvard of the SOuth" or they sometimes call Harvard the Duke of the North. Can you fucking believe this? This this scum bag hole in the wall. One can not even go out on the campus in the summer because the place is only fit for the metabolism of a cock roach. I guess The South is second to North Korea for brain washing its citizens to believe that it should be proud. If it were not for all the subsidies and cheap fucking property, no one from the North would live there. Indeed, it has been documented that the typical Northerner who moves to the South, does so because it is so cheap to live there. They also can find jobs that require no education. I think it is great that the South has jobs for people who can not read. Everyone needs to make a living...but at what cost? Bottom line, you get what you pay for. There is a reason why you could buy a mansion in Chapel Hill for 700,000. I say Chapel Hill because this is supposed to be one of the places that Southerners use to defend the fact that the entire region is not all sleezy. Not sure where the hill is, been there, no hill.
Amanda... STFU bitch. Your post was entirely too long. I stopped halfway through. You sound like a whiny Southern cunt. Yuck.
Bill Clinton has condo on top of the Clinton Library in Little Rock, AR that he stays in all the time dumbass.
Wow Amanda! You're REALLY trying to defend your wasteland of a region. Aww, how sweet. Kudos girly! You get an "A" for the effort you put into that freaking 100 chapter novel you wrote up there and the million replies thereafter. I have always said that blowing up the south would make America 75% smarter.
I'm from California (the gorgeous Bay Area - Northern part), live in Ohio and visited numerous states including the dreadful south. I remember seeing confederate flags on trucks (of COURSE), on some light poles, etc. For you (Amanda) to be so oblivious to the blatant racism and the confederate flags and what not is laughable. Maybe you're immune to it. I can tell you that people from other non-southern states (like me!) are not, lol.
I have NOOOO desire to EVER visit the south again. E-V-E-R (ok, well, maybe Florida).
And why do people HONESTLY think that Yankee is even an insult? What is this, 1865? LOL. Wow, how about we come up with something a bit more original and meaningful than, "Ya'll edumacated, devil-worshipin (aka non-Christians), non-listenin to countray musik, liberal latte sippin, having all your teefs, no good Yankees pack up and go on yonda ta tha Norf where ya can mingle wit dah coloreds, drive them fancii carz dat saves gas and da envir.. inviro... da EARF n' vote fer that half-colored racist big eared socialist negro *a-yuck-yuck*"
By the way, since you threw your educational accomplishments around, I graduated high school a year early, graduated from Stanford with a 3.8 gpa and I'm working on my Master's degree at the tender age of 21. *womp womp!*
ok. person above me? that probably just made my day. the funnier part is that its all true. they talk and think exactly like that.
Of course Bill Clinton makes an appearance in Little Rock, he is yoked to the South and has no way out. However, when history is written, it will be clear that he got out of there as soon as he could.
Hey Y'all... The days of turning the other cheek are over. After Karl Rove (the leading bastard of Southern Scum) destroyed our country, we finally have said... enough is enough.
We will shame you into: 1. leaving the country (North Korea is waiting), 2. washing your brain (what little you have), 3. eating good foods, 4. stopping smoking, 5. not fucking your sisters, 6. learning to speak English and perhaps even Spanish.
Why am I not seeing Amanda's posts here, but only Anonymous' response to them? I'm missing out on most of the comedy here!
people arent rascist here i have redneck friends who are friends with black friends i dont know what ur talking about just cuse u seem to love asians and mexicans invading the country up there in EL Northo.just cause they are fat doesnt mean anything and the accent well i guess they could work on it.
and your an athiest
And that song is by DISTURBED not genises who ever the fuck they are you call us fucking idiots look at you.
"Amanda... STFU bitch. Your post was entirely too long. I stopped halfway through. You sound like a whiny Southern cunt. Yuck."
Wow that so informed and intellectual!!! Seriously! You just proved my point. You don't have the patience or intelligence to process something more than 2 sentences. I think it is funny when people have to resort to cursing and insults because they don't have anything intelligent or interesting to say.
You know what. I'm over it. I don't have the time or energy to keep responding to hypocritical people who try to cover up their idiocy with insults. I don't claim the south is better than the north and I don't think the north is better than the south. They are just different. To base a persons intelligence on the region of the U.S. they are from is close minded and dumb. If you don't like the south, fine. I don't have the time to argue with people who are too close minded to listen to another person's viewpoint.
Amanda, This is how I see it. After Clinton left office there was a lot of increased respect for the South. Most people I know in the North, West and Midwest, thought he was one of the smartest presidents we have had. Just look at how he left the economy and the debt. Every time he opened his mouth, a listener had to think of the South. People forgot about Strom Thurmond and Jessie Helms and all the other sleezy representatives from the South. Then along came Bush junior and his crew, mostly all Southerners who also happened to be hateful disgusting people. Yes, the West has to take credit for Cheney, but Whoming might as well be in the South as well as Ohio, which is two faced and does not know what it wants to be when it grows up.
Any way, you guys had a big set back with Bush. He ruined the country and his southern mafia are despised by Northerners. Instead of turning the other cheek or laughing at Southerners, we are going to continue to do what the previous blogger did, throw your behaviors back in your face, call you on your stupidity, such as the latest that 52% of Southerners believe Obama is not a citizen. How do you expect us to view you?
Although Bush was certainly a detestable creature, he was not a true Southerner. He was born in Milton, Mass., and has no Southern roots. I can't really despise him for being a fake Texan from Massachusetts, as Jerry Jeff Walker is the same, and I like Jerry Jeff's music. I can't imagine Bush listening to it, though.
Ladybird Johnson was a thoroughly likeable Texan, founder of the National Wildflower Research Center.
All in all, I think Texas is quite a mixed bag of eccentric characters, but for true evil, you can't beat the Deep South Bible Belt, 'round about the Carolinas.
i grew up in the north and i love the south. great culture, great scenery, great food, great music, great accents, HOT women...what's not to like?
Born and raised in NC.
If you're a close-minded, ignorant conservative, you'll LOVE the south.
I plan on moving north when I have the money. I'll get a jacket. I'd rather deal with the cold than put up with ignoramuses.
I was born in the midwest but have been stuck in the Memphis area for entirely too long. I've traveled extensively in Europe and the Northeast US and have always, always, ALWAYS felt much more comfortable in any of those places than I do here. My fiance and I just came back from a trip to San Francisco last week, and it was nothing short of amazing. The people were genuinely warm, open, accepting of everyone... in fact, when we flew over Memphis airspace and I saw the lights of the Hernando-DeSoto bridge gleaming over the muddy Mississippi, I immediately burst into tears. That's how much I hated coming back to this place.
This resonated very strongly:
"In most parts of the country, if you say 'I don't like this part of the country,' the locals will be no more offended than if you say 'I don't care for meatloaf.' In other words, not a big deal. But if you tell a southerner that you don't like the south, he/she reacts as though you said his/her mother is a whore."
At this moment, there is a truck in the parking lot outside my office with not one, not two, but THREE bumper stickers with references to the (imagined) superiority of the South and insistence that Northerners "go back home." Feel the warmth?
"So why don't you just get the hell out of here, then, if you have such a problem with being here?" If I had a dollar for each time I heard that, I could probably afford to do just that. If this area has anything going for it at all, it's a ridiculously low cost of living. But even that is countered by such an insanely poor quality of life that it doesn't matter if you can buy a palatial residence in our most affluent suburb (Germantown) for a fraction of what you'd pay in rent for a filthy studio apartment in San Francisco's Tenderloin district.
I'd like to touch on the racism thing, though. After all, Memphis plays a large (if dubious) role in civil rights history. I totally get what other people have said about racist rednecks, and there are so many of them in my own family that I stopped associating with them long ago. What I didn't see (although it's possible that I missed it) is any mention of black racists. Perhaps it was inherent to the segregation argument, but I have worked in a predominantly black neighborhood for the past five years. There are people I have seen daily throughout that time who STILL refuse to acknowledge my presence on the basis that I am white and, therefore, not to be trusted. I thought it was incidental at first until I noticed that these same people would look over me and greet the person behind me IF they were black. Otherwise, they said nothing. Whites lunch with whites, blacks with blacks, no exceptions. Both groups seem to have a problem with hispanics, so I suppose there's unity on something, eh?
All joking aside, though, there is nothing I have experienced in the South that compels me to stay. That unique brand of Christian hostility you'll ONLY find here (who cares if there's religious freedom if the religious condemn those who exercise it?), rampant racism from both sides, incredible socioeconomic divide, wealthy self-congratulatory idiots and their "old boys" networks... it's finally become too much. As soon as I can afford to flee, I shall.
Excellent post.
Oh - and for the (ostensibly Southern) person taking issue with attributing those song lyrics to Genesis, "whoever the fuck they are," oh man. Seriously? Any moron with thirty seconds and an internet connection could figure out that Genesis' ORIGINAL version is about 25 years older than Disturbed's COVER, and that's if you really (really?!) don't know who Genesis is.
Hahahaha... wow.
To "Midwestern Transplant":
I'm glad you liked my line about "if you say 'I don't like this part of the country..."
As to your points about the local religiosity (which I guess is a word since my spell-check accepted it), see Newsweek, 24 Aug 2009, p. 30 (also at http://www.newsweek.com/id/211746), "countries with the lowest rates of social dysfunction—based on 25 measures, including rates of homicide, abortion, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease, unemployment, and poverty—have become the most secular. Those with the most dysfunction, such as Portugal and the U.S., are the most religious, as measured by self-professed belief, church attendance, habits of prayer, and the like."
This, it seems, is not just true of countries but of states (with the possible exception of Mormon Utah?).
It is certainly easily observable and obvious that, with few exceptions, the closer one gets to the equator, the more unstable and violent societies become. When is the last time you heard of unrest and violence in Scandinavia? (Okay, 1,000 years ago, they were just a bit scary, I admit.)
I'm also amazed of their relative lack of interest in what goes on outside their little world down here. Today's Spartanburg, S.C. newspaper is an example: Ted Kennedy's death below the fold, with minor local news as the headline.
----------------------
(Out of curiosity, does the man who started this blog page, "falling angel," still around? He seems to have disappeared two years ago. I wonder if he ever escaped his Southern Discomfort.)
My grandparents left the South in the 1930's and had little good to say about it. A few years ago I visited it for the first time and think I now understand it. You can do pretty much anything you want down there as long as you 'look' righteous. I never met so many insincere, willfully ignorant, self-absorbed people in my life.. play'n a game of monkey-see, monkey-do. We'd have an theocracy (like Iran) and an apartheid system if the majority of the whites in the South had their way. Remember only a couple of generations have passed when they rose up against The United States of America. Don't trust Southerns.
Very, interesting, Mark, and thanks for being the only person with courage enough to use your own name! (Although I am "solongago," my identity is fairly easily traced as solongago@vfemail.net.)
I take it your grandparents weren't native Confederates, as no one down here would ever give a thought to leaving.
I had always thought that "the Old South" as it used to be would have been an interesting place to visit, rather like the primitive cultures of third-world nations. But, at least in upstate S.C., anything old has long ago been destroyed. There is nothing quaint or scenic about the towns here, and the area doesn't even have the charm inherent in "benign neglect." The area here was settled before the Revolution, yet there are far more antebellum homes and buildings in NW Ohio and SE Michigan. Can't blame it on the Civil War, which completely bypassed this region. All I can figure is that they were so ashamed of their history that they wanted to obliterate any vestige of it. (Admittedly, they retain isolated pockets of historic districts for the tourists.) There remains a layer of guilt and shame just below the surface in most of them, especially in those who try so hard to defend their homeland.
So many things you have said are wrong. As far as segregation, study after study has shown that Southern cities are more integrated than northern ones. Don't give me any bullshit about how you've seen it first hand and the studies are wrong. It's much easier to see what you believe you will.
As for talking, that's called an accent/dialect. It's indicative of culture. Y'all is absolutely a word. Most languages have a second person plural, we just created one for English. Just because you've been raised on the neutral, media dialect doesn't mean we all have to.
>Southerners drop the "we'll secede" line like it's a threat...hell, they should be expelled.
Except we make your shit, because it's too expensive to do it in the north, we die in wars. And I'm sure you don't want to pay an import tax on Coke, whiskey, and cigarettes.
Now the bottom line is this. If you don't like it, please feel free to leave. We don't want you here. If we had the option, a good number of southerners would support keeping northerners from coming down here at all, let alone negative ones. Trust us when we say we hate the north at least as much as you hate the South.
THANK YOU!...finally, the site I've been waiting for. I despise the south and everything it stands for...racism, ignorance, religiosity, and a filthy environment. They're actually proud of being stupid which is pretty mind boggling to a New Englander forced to spend time there on a work related trip. I've travelled all over Europe and Asia and felt more at home in foreign cities than I ever felt during a miserable 3 weeks in Alabama...it was like being on another planet. Rude fat people smoking like chimneys, litter everywhere, lots of macho posturing and everyone rushing to church...YECH!...and SLOW...everything seems to be done in quarter time. They should just secede...good riddance...they're nothing but an embarassment.
Please Please please if you are thinking about coming to the south, even or a vacation stay home. Don't come down here please.
I am a black female that is at LSU and I am trying to move to europe because I cannot stand this shit anymore. My family was born and bred in the soil and we live in a nice neighborhood. But let me tell you the truth.
Race is everything. You can't put salt on a plate of food withour race being involved. Now most of my best friends are white and I don't have a problem with anyone but down here it doesn't matter. If you are dark you're fucked at the end of the day. And blacks are pretty stupid too.
anything un southern is suspect. Any art, literature, or film that isn't the hangover/jennifer anniston is considered weird and twisted.
Whole Foods is mocked down here. Organic food isn't natural someone once told me
Confederate flags everywhere
driving is dangerous as hell. people speed and fly everywhere like their damn house(trailer, mud hole) is on fire and interstates have become death traps in louisiana and mississippi. Better to just stay home because you might get killed by soccer moms and jimbob driving their high horsepower cars(because soccor moms and frehmen boys in college all need huge 4x4 trucks and SUVs with lots a horsepower)
The ''Good ole southern'' shit is just gettin old.
I like church and being christian. But seeing how evil and hypocritical people are down here, they make me embarrased to be christian. It doesn't stop them from being whores. A lot of girls are catty and fake. Will smile in your face and then whisper behind your back. So basically no christian values to be found here whatsoever.
they think dressing up is jeans and an abercrombie shirt. People here go to class in workout clothes but carry a coach purse(?)
when you go out to a club, clubs don't play dancy techno or hip hop or mixes, they play 90s rock and country. You eventually have to end up going to a gay club to actually have an experience where they floor is clean, UV lights and nice environment, and a club that is an actual building as opposed to:
a. an old gas station
b. an old shack reconstructed to be a club
c.mud
and the list can go on and on.
Oh m'gosh. I think I've finally found my soulmate, although probably two or three decades too late. My disdain for all things Southern is counterbalanced by a passion for all things New England, and bostongirl's list of annoyances perfectly mirrors my own.
One other odd item. About three quarters of the public TV programming here is about North or South Carolina. I don't know if they can't afford the good stuff, or if people here don't want it. And I can't find a radio good enough to pull in classical music. The libraries don't subscribe to Harper's or Atlantic -- too liberal and too cultural.
And, as I mentioned before, outdoors there is nowhere to hike, bike, or even have a picnic. The only thing that might get most of these people outdoors is Nascar.
On the other hand, the wide selection of chewing tobacco brands in the grocery stores is quite impressive...
I loathe the South. I really enjoyed the comment about the South being the foundation of America...especially since that is about as far from the truth as one could imagine. We landed at Plymouth Rock, which I'm guessing they probably taught you is located somewhere in Georgia. It's not. Fact is, New England is the REAL America. I think it's cute when people attempt to defend traditions of hate and ignorance. The South is and all ways has been an embarassment to our nation. The south will never rise again, however, despite those cute little sayings they have. We crippled their economy beyond repair after the civil war and for good reason. Ignorance cannot lead. I wish those in the South would just stay and home and watch fox news like they are supposed to. Your disgusting bigotry is not welcome up here.
To aphorize:
When Lady Liberty invited the wretched refuse, the South is where she put them.
Okay, the aphorism was poorly worded, the implication being that the problem with the South is immigrants. This is certainly not what I meant, as most of the problem people down here have been here for a dozen generations.
I should have worded it better, but the longer I remain down here, the more my brain degrades.
Wes, you're absolutely right...New England is the foundation of this country...the south gave us the foundation for all that's wrong with America. Look at the moronic politicians they elect, the environmental legislation they ignore or avoid, blatent racism, insularity, the admiration they seem to have for the ignorant and the stupid. Solongago, you need to get out of there! It's a beautiful fall day in Boston...clear blue skies, a hint of fall in the air...
I was born and raised in the south, and have lived here the majority of my life. I hate the south, too. In fact, I agree with everything you said. Stupid rules.
I'm from Jersey and have been in SC for about 7 months. Back home, I had always thought of my area of Northern NJ as the south in comparison to NY and some areas of New England. However, I was as surprised as an obese man in the shower who has just discovered his penis to find that something dirty and unkempt dwelt below... THE SOUTH!!
After the initial novelty of going from one of the least attractive people in my town to almost a magazine cover model overnight, the horror began to set in.
Instead of Subway, there are a vast array of restaurants unknown to northerners such as Hardees, Fatz, Balljanglers or something, Chick-fil-a(very clever), and other heartstopping drive up suicide counters. Oh yeah; and these restaurants of which you can find 2 or 3 in a single town support the local economy in its entirety, save the few companies that have fled more built-up areas to get away from the unions.
There are also the bumper stickers. Many times while driving you might rub your eyes in disbelief and take a second look but the message will still remain on the bumper of the dodge durango or F-150 in front of you.
"The War of Southern Freedom" or "The War of Northern Aggression." I'd be more offended when i see this if it weren't for the fact that sadly, these people probably don't know which war this actually was. So even me, the great great grandson of General Meade who led the Union Army at Gettysburg, can shrug this off as the product of perusing one of the fine gift shops after filling up on chitlins and grits at one of the fine Cracker Barrels out on the interstate.
All in all, I have been quite capable of walking the fine line between racism and self-loathing pretty well here, but it has been difficult to stave off the constant reqruitment to laughter after a racist joke that isn't even well thought out has been made. If i take one thing home with me it is to do everything i can to remember every detail of the uniquely southern absurdity that abounds in order to keep Northerners voting and thinking correctly so as to not fall victim to the ignorance and government tit-sucking that is the Southern way of life.
cobraunicus --
You will probably find that the longer you remain in the Deep South, the wider you will become.
As for the restaurants you mentioned, I think Hardees is pretty much a major national chain. Better than average for fast-food burgers. Zaxby's, which is limited to the South, is also extremely good for fast-food. Jack-in-the-box is present in the north, I think, but I hadn't seen there barrage of TV commercials until I got down here. Never tried it -- they seem to emphasize that their food is cheap.
A bigger problem than the food here is the lack of attractive opportunities for exercise. As I've said, parks are few and far between, the landscape is not particularly inviting for pleasant walks, the weather is either deadly hot of drab and dull. What I wouldn't give for a nice snowy blizzard this winter!
You're in S.C., and mention bumper stickers, so you've no doubt noticed also that half the people down here have "In God We Trust" license plates.
Oddly, in my decrepit corner of S.C. (between Greenville and Spittin'burg) I haven't noticed much overt racism toward blacks, although I think they have a rather low opinion of Mexicans here. There is a fairly substantial Hispanic community, but they do not seem to be integrated into the general society, except within any of the 10,000 Mexican restaurants within a short distance of here.
It's sad to think we actually fought a Civil War to keep the South as part of this country. Perhaps it's time for a second civil war--this time, to get rid of the stubborn, backwards, ignorant, excessively religious South.
I heard a random country lyric the other day that went, "I'm a country man, no city boy can do what I can." Okay. Well, I’m a city boy, so I know what a dentist is, I eat cows rather than bang them, I don't consider "culture" to mean cars going “vroom” in a circle for 5 hours, I understand “Deliverance” is not a documentary about my Uncle Billy Bob, I didn’t marry my cousin and if I had, I sure wouldn’t have worn that camouflage suit to the altar. So keep your Budweiser country boy, we city boys can afford Hefeweizen. Plus we can spell it.
And another thing, enough with the saying, "Southern by the grace of God." If God loved you he wouldn't have made you Southern. He'd have made you smart, open minded, tolerant, ambitious, and not attracted to farm animals.
Cobraunicus! A fellow New Jerseyan who is also stuck in the south. I made a few comments earlier on this page. Even though you're from Noth Jersey, and I, from South Jersey (exit 2), I believe we face the same problems in the south. I moved to texas. I don't know if you have problems about people hating you because you're from Jersey but i've had it the past 4 hellish years here. Though I havent seen the civil war bumper stickers as you mentioned as i've seen more texas secession stickers. Everywhere. They don't like America too much apparently. And since you moved from Jersey i'm assuming you had the same problems we had. Crazy property taxes ( and any other tax they could think of), too many people, assholes, the turnpike or for you it would be the parkway, just plain old Jersey problems that have chased out tons of people. Honestly I would love to move back than be stuck in this ill educated wasteland. Its hot. And have you noticed the amount of crappy drivers? We are from a diverse state and region. The whole northeast can boast prosperity and success acutally. I love New England. Beautiful place. But I love South Jersey farmland. Whats left of it anyway. I miss our four seasons and autumn leaves. I miss strongheaded people who speak their mind. I miss intelligence. The people of the south are as fake as can be. I've had people be my friend because they thought it was polite even though they didnt like me. Boggles the mind really. I mean if we dont like you we will generally respect you, but we won't be your buddy either. Here I can never tell whos my friend or whos just being "polite". And I dont care what anyone says. The South has THE most rude people alive. I work at a dollar general in a small town. I'm only 19. Still with my parents. And the customers are horrible people. To me Jersey people are more friendly. We are judged in the south. So christian of them. And yes I am a christian. But I will never be like the people here. So many hypocrites. I don't go to church here. I grew up in a methodist chruch in Jersey. The people there were warm and friendly. My parents and I went to a church here and all they did was gossip about us and stare at us. When I went to finish high school here I had actual teachers telling me they didnt like yankees here and that I needed to leave. Do they really think I want to be here? Really? I've been through so much heartache over this place. And it's hard not to hate a place like this. But I feel like i have a right to. All of us on this forum have a right. New Jersey can NOT be labeled as the armpit of the country. This place makes Jersey look like paradise. Not trying to exagerate. But I do love my home state. But most of all I love the people I can actually hold an intelligent conversation with. By that I mean the north as a whole. My family and I plan to move back. Not to Jersey but close to it. Delaware is half as cheap and my parents want to retire. I plan to go back to school and get a degree in a GOOD school. This palce has temporarily ruined my life. But the second I get home I plan to drive out to ocean city, relax in the sand and breath fresh air for once. Good luck to any poor soul still stuck here. You're not alone.
Hefeweizen? Well, although I'm a northerner with a liking for obscure beers, I must admit I had to look that one up. I'm generally not too keen on wheat beer, preferring a good brown ale. But firstly, they don't have good beer down here, and secondly, what they do have costs about $2.00 more for a six-pack. I used to consider Saranac a good cheap beer, but it's ridiculously expensive down here.
And yet everything here has the emphasis on "cheap." I refuse to shop WalMart (I've seen how it destroys small towns), but anything I want to buy down here is unavailable anywhere other than WM.
Back to beer, go to http://brewpubzone.com/States/ and search SC. Sixteen in the state. This compares to 70 in Ohio, 72 in Mass. F'gawdsake, even Utah has 24, and I've never seen a drunken Mormon.
Overpriced and lousy selection, and yet the TV is full of grim state-troopers on public service announcements warning about the dangers of drinking and driving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thankfully, I have not yet encountered the saying "Southern by the grace of God." I find that line repugnant on several different levels.
I totally agree! I was raised there and FLED - can't even bring myself to go back, the energy there is so oppressive. People are locked into their little, negative ways of thinking and drug abuse and alcoholism is rampant. People from the cities are as much trailer trash as the rednecks in the backwoods. Some scary stuff happens there - its like the Cherokee cursed the land as they were driven out.
At least we're not a bunch of WHINEY BITCHES.
My God, you complain like a 15 year old girl on her period.
Fact is, you hate the south because people here didn't like you, and I can see why.
The best part is how your main complaint is about racism and bigotry when your ENTIRE POST is bigotry.
Who is ignorant again?
My my...who let that whiny bitch in?
I live in the South and go to a school where there are whites, blacks, asians, and latinos and everyone gets along just fine. The North really needs to stop being ignorant and say everyone is a redneck racist. When i went to Boston the friendleist pereson I met was from Mississpi go figure.
I am laughing so much right now reading all this and thanks for the uplift. I, too have lived all over and now in Florida for 15 months. You ALL have said everything I have witnessed and felt. I do find the hyprocricy and my church is sooooo racist against.... Yankees :) I find formal education, loyalty and individual thinking very rare here... however, I do find the gossiping, backstabbers to be smiling and polite so that's a plus. Florida surely is the south at least here in Daytona land (circa 1960). God love all of us and thanks for a place to find people who agree. They were making me feel shitty about myself, but I realize I have to figure out a way to leave. The weather and animals are the best things here. But you're right, they kill anything that moves for sport and can't drive in the rain.
I am currently living in Metairie, LA and have never experienced racism until now.
From my experience, some of the people I met automatically assume I think I'm better than them because I am from the north. I am polite, yet reserved, which doesn't sit well with some of the locals. If I don't start chatting it up with them, they get offended.
A perfect example was when I was sitting at a restaurant bar waiting for my boyfriend. A man was sitting a few seats away and said "hi". I politely responded back and left it at that. But, because he didn't get the response he wanted, he proceeded to tell the bartender that "he's sick of us damn yankees 'cause we don't know nothing about southern hospitality and we all should be shot!". There are other instances, but I won't go on and on about them.
I believe it has to do with ignorance, insecurity and upbringing. I was raised not to judge someone based on the actions of others.
If you consider me rude because I won't converse with you beyond the cordial, don't take it personal. That's just me until I get to know you. But, you would probably never know that. You've already decided when I spoke my first word that I was a good for nothing yankee. But, I can't really say that I care too much about you or your opinions, I just met you. I can't judge you, I don't even know you.
Just hope karma doesn't bite you in the ass. Some day you or your child might be in the same position.
Wow. It sounds like Lousy-anna is even worse than S.C. However, you begin by saying you've experienced racism, but is seems that the issue is one of region rather than race. It can't be called "regionalism" as that term has been appropriated as a literary genre. I guess the closest word would be "xenophobia." Dislike of northerners might be "antiborealism."
I agree with you! The south is a terrible place that no intelligent person should ever live in. But before I start to rant about how screwed up the south is, I should state that I was born and raised in the south. But I guess since I don't “talk like a country boy” as someone here once told me, then I'm not a “true” southerner. Which is fine with me because, I don't consider myself a southerner anyway. I come to find out that in order to be consider a real southerner you have to be rude, unintelligent, condescending to people who are well-spoken, disloyal, dishonorable, and utterly dispicable! But like I said before you're right, the south is a fucked up place. I was so amused at these “proud” southerners attempts to defend their region of the US, but to no avail. It's easy for these so-called proud southerners to preach crap about southern hospitality, and how great their filthy culture is (of course they don't view it as such…) to people who've rarely or never been to the south before! But I can tell you one thing, there is no such thing as southern hospitality, many aspects of southern culture are distasteful, and for the most part many southerners ARE unintelligent! (At least the ones I've met!) Yeah sure… you got a few who try their best to strive for excellence in academia, but there are two types that do that. (1) Those who are really wanting to better themselves by getting the hell out of the south, and make a difference in the world in someway ie, myself. No (2) Are those who want so desperately to compete with the intelligent people in other parts of America, namely the people up north. These are the southerners who feel the need to show northerners that there are smart people in the south too. These types also choose to stay in the south, fearing the high probability of meeting someone with a intellect that is superior to theirs! But when those seemingly smart southerners finally do come face to face with someone who is just as smart as they are or, God forbid someone smarter, that's when they get really nasty. For example: Employers in Mississippi hate it when their subordinates articulate words better than they can. Take it from me, I know. Well hopefully soon I can get out of the south, and leave these filthy ass country bumpkins in Mississippi to eat my dust! One thing I am thankful for, is that the trashy southerners are too afraid to venture out into the world beyond their own ignorant surroundings, as most of them are content to living a life of mediocrity here in the south. I'm glad garbage like that know their place in this world!
You really just don't have any clue what you are talking about, and now I'm seriously pissed.
forgive me if i take you for a fool, but you didn't list good reasons for your hatred. you hate the south because there are no dunkin donuts? to me, your rant speaks more about you as an individual, than as a critique of the south's problems.

New Orleans is HIGHLY overrated, BTW. I guess it would seem great if you are surrounded by the rest of the South. REALLY?? Not the best comparison. And so what you if can drink in the street. What's so great about that? Is that really a badge of honor? Wow. Showing your breasts for beads? Another badge of honor? Really? Wow - Part II. Brad Pitt living in your city makes the city great? Really? Here's hoping for a category five to finish what Mother Nature started!
Everybody doesnt drink light beer down here.Everyone is not dumb like you think.Everyone is not racist.Your inabilty to see beyond your nose makes you all sound like dumbasses.Stop hating the south.

Now, let's be fair...toothpaste was invented in the south. Anywhere else it would have been called teethpaste.

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX five hundred running shoe, and, since it originally hails from the '80s, the gaming galvanized design and coloring is a no-brainer ... Right? The kicks would possibly not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game primarily based on ... The shoe itself.
GameCulture writes that the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking thugs, collect power-ups, and pull off insane rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It's fittingly retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

Hi, as you may already found I'm recent here.
In first steps it is really nice if someone supports you, so hope to meet friendly and helpful people here. Let me know if I can help you.
Thanks and good luck everyone! ;)
you think Houston is bad? hmm? try living in the middle of fucking nowhere, growing up there and hating EVERY FUCKING BIT OF IT. I have yet to meet another human being with an IQ above that of a cat. Alabama is by far the worst state in the whole United States.
I hate everything about this place. The accents, the 'southern hospitality' *cough* bullshit *cough*. people are so fucking fake. they try to mix 'valley girl' with 'white trash' and get 'stupid acting dumb-arsed cunt'. Frankly I'm shocked the nearest (there are a fucking million of them within a mile of my house) church hasn't bashed in my door and tried to burn me at the stake for being an "abomination against 'god'" (bisexual atheist). and the schools are so fucked up. You know how in most stereotypical schools the football team is the one who makes fun of people who are bi/gay? complete fucking opposite. They like me more than they did before I came out. and the whole fucking marching band is full of a bunch of hitlerfucking nazis. it's safe to say that this part of Alabama is the most fucked up place in the US.

Well, look at it this way. The species that were in the South before the Civil war and years after have proven the point. They were illiterate as hell then and now! The South, Georgia in particular is full of corn bread fed ignorants that think the South will rise again. (Don't save that Confederate money hillbillies as it will never rise again. Check this out about the law enforcement in Atlanta: https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8457591059947807760&postID=1700237469363754526
Full of illiterates and slip-thru-the-cracks type. Irish idiots that have bred and inbred creating such a mess. Never ever trust hick in the South. Job quality and workmanship are definately not on the books here. Fat, beer bellied, facial haired, baseball cap wearing illiterates that are most generally small business idiots with no skills do the work here in the South. Try and dispute this. In the South you have to give up something to get something. Why is that I ask? I believe these hicks call it bartering. To close, just remember this. Never ever have a hick do anything that you yourself can do. Never trust a hick without getting everything in writing. You may have to wait a few days for them to find someone that can read it for them. This is so true here in hillbilly land. I really hate these inbreds with passion and I don't stop for hillbillies.
Oh well, forget about the South as we now have a "N word" in the Whitehouse. Just as bad huh? What in the fuck is the matter with the USA? When has a (african, afro-american, negro, nigger, black, porch monkey, spook, spade and all the other so-called names) done anything to lead a nation s great as the USA? My point exactly. Same for hicks, hillbillies, rednecks and the like. Oh, sorry, Jimmy Caarter comes to mind. Worst President we had at the time. Good luck America. You have turned into a melting pot full of ignorance and have given up freedoms fought for. Sleep well.
Okay, I said I wouldn't post another comment, but as a history teacher I just couldn't let this go.
Wes- you say that the south isn't the foundation of America. Okay, I agree, numerous colonies came together to create colonial America, those in the North and South. However, you then go on to defend this by saying, "Ever heard of Plymouth" as if you are saying that it was the first colony established in America. Well I will respond with ever heard of Jamestown, VA (first permanent English settlement), St. Augustine,FL (first permanent settlement by Europeans/the Spanish in North America) and the lost colony of Roanoke in N.C.(first attempted settlement by the English even though it failed.) Although I'm not knocking its importance, the landing at Plymouth Rock occured after all of these. Many colonies came together in America to create colonial America, but the three earliest settlements/attempted settlements actually occured in the south. Just thought I would enlighten you.
Yes. Rednecks suck. There's nothing good about them or what they stand for. People live in the south and they always will. Can't stop it. Who cares. I dont like it here. i'm leaving. Anyone else who doesn't like it should leave too. That would solve your problem i believe.

I live in the south and I agree with every single one of these things. Living here pisses me off.
The south is the anchor dragging this country down. If we could only cut this anchor loose we'd be leading the world in every possible way. Instead we are being sucked into the abyss, led by the bible thumpers and flat earthers.
And for Christ's sake, have some self respect and get of your lazy asses...it's repulsive how fat you people are. Not to mention my tax dollars are paying for your uninsured ER visits when you get diabetes at age 22.
I really, truly, deeply, cannot express to you my contempt for this most despicable part of the country.
Wow, this writer is a major hypocrite. He makes a comment that people that are different are discriminated against in the South. Then he writes about how Southerners (who are NOTHING like him) as if they are less than human. Really? Did you even read what you wrote?
And then you're making fun of Southerners saying y'all while you make the grammatical error of writing "Learn to Talk." It would be "Learn to Speak," jackass. Again, hypocrisy.
I hate people that look down on others. You are one of those people that has abnormally small genitals and has taken out that anger on others. Not to mention you're also an egomaniac.
Do something good for the world by killing yourself, please. Nobody wants or needs anybody like you.
P.S. Trucks are not hardly as damaging to the environment as your house is. We have enough oil here to sustain ourselves, but environmentalists like you limit that. And most of our oil comes from Canada and Mexico, not the Saudis.
How do you feel now that our new president has got us into an even worse recession? Still ignorant enough to think Bush was a dumbass?
Plus, no animal between the primate and human have been found. Thus, evolution is still a theory, not fact.
Oh yeah, and VERY few hunters kill to feel like a man. They kill for sport. You wouldn't know about that because you think animals are like they are in Disney movies. News: They aren't.
Ahhhh, what a lovely article. I agree 100%. I am a transplant to a small town in TN due to my husband's job, and I can't wait to get the fuck out of here. Everyone smokes, is obese and hypocritical. I feel for the little victims of second-hand smoke in cars while their obese parents light up while still in the Walmart parking lot. And, these people go to church. Oh boy, do they go to church. But NONE of them stop for me and my baby stroller while we are in a crosswalk. Yet, there are thousands of "Respect Life" signs and stickers all over town. But, every day that I walk with my baby in a stroller, we are shown multiple signs of disrespect. Fuckers.
And, today, while walking, I witnessed a guy with a leaf blower blowing all the cigarette butts and trash from the parking lot of a funeral home, into the grass in front of an elementary school. This really irked me until I decided to go in and talk to the manager. In my nicest, most humane manner I explained to him that it just is not right to blow their litter into the elementary school property. The manager was nice, but he replied "where else are we supposed to blow it?" I told him they have to collect it and throw it away, not blow it onto public property. He was nice, but I could tell he didn't take me seriously. I told him, as a community member it saddened me to see the elementary school littered with cigarette butts. He told me to have a nice day. The irony, is that when I turned around, there was a 10-year old kid from the school (they wear uniforms in public school here) I said to the manager "looks like you have a kid that goes to the school too." He just replied "yup" and smiled. Fucker. The next time I see this, I am going to call the police. I mean, this is a backwards little town, but I'm sure the police would issue a fine for blowing trash onto public property. Right?

The problem with Southerners is you people sit around mourning the past like 1950 was some golden age. Guess what the KKK murdered blacks and there was no birth control pill...it fucking blew. LIVE IN THE PRESENT. This country can lead the world and be the greatest shining light humanity has ever seen. Please don't hold back those of us who seek progress. Lead, follow, or get out of the way...just stop sitting there like a bump in the road!

I live in california and this progressive state is not much better than the south. Instead of a southern accent you hear the valley girl accent, on both girls and guys, and people are obsessed with hollywood. We export shit like the hills, and those people are dumber than shit. And there is reverse racism, where as if you dont support the gay agenda you are assed out, or think that maybe our borders should be closed because we are flooded with illegals, you are a racist. C'mon if we are that smart over here than why cant we balance the budget. This state is bankrupt.

Lived in the South for 30 years and the Bay Area for 7, and lemme tell ya', there is no comparing the south to the bay. There is nothing comparable in the south. Sure, you could go into the central valley and find some filth, but the entire bay is better than anything in the south. I've been all over both. There is an awareness and a sense of responsibility you won't find there. The people are diverse and accepting, hard-working, and forward-moving. They are problem-solvers and they are pro-active. They stand for something. People in the south stand for nothing but idiocy and hypocrisy.
People in the south are outright lazy, ignorant, and they don't want to change. They flow along until something bad happens and then they don't know what to do about it. They are uncaring and neglectful, and most of them have never been into anything in their lives. They just go through the motions of life, without living it. Basically why everything stays the same and nothing ever gets done or changed.... southerners are outright pussies and the laziest people I have ever seen, in their relationships, in their work, in their lives.
I fled to the Bay area and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. No, there are no smart rednecks. That doesn't exist. If you are smart enough, you get out. You won't tolerate it anymore, and you will find greener grass.

You pissed me off with this one. Sure, you hate racism, yet when it comes to our culture, you TRASH it. People don't hunt to show how manly they are, they hunt because that is, again, part of our culture. Sure, we show trophies, but it is against the law NOT to use the meat, so I dont know where "sport hunting" came from. As for hating the environment... yeah right. The north is way more industrial than the south, and they spit out more industrial waste. The Brazos is way cleaner than the Hudson, I assure you. There are different race neighborhoods in the north too. But you ignore that. As for the starbucks... ahem... STARBUCKS FUCKING SUCKS! DRINK REAL COFFEE YOU PUSSY! Go back to the north, because we don't need you fucking yankees here. Again, you hate us for being Racist, yet you hate my culture! FUCKING HYPOCRITE!!!
It's fascinating to compare the difference in writing styles (and lack of style) between northerners and southerners on this page, although there are occasional anomalies on each side.
This last message appears to be directed at the originator of this thread. Please note that he posted his diatribe over three years ago, and seemingly has never revisited this page.
The simple fact is that many Southerners love the South, for reasons that are absolutely beyond my comprehension. For me, this area (upstate S.C.) has everything I despise and nothing I like. I cannot say with certainty that other parts of the South are such an abomination as this. If I leave here now, I will be homeless, and, at age 52, that would be very risky. But this is certainly not a place to lead a worthwhile life, so I am investigating my options.
Ya know....hate is a strong word in this thread. We may hate racism, yes, but there is also racism up north too. I'm willing to admit that. It's not segregated forcefully. I lived in South Jersey in a middle to upper class neighborhood. I rarely encountered blacks. Even in school there were only few. It wasn't because of my choice. They make the choice to live where they live. And a lot of them chose a poverty ridden life. Now living in East Texas, everything's mixed. Poor whites and blacks everywhere. You could have a mansion and trailer trash just a minute up the road. I'm not used to that. Now hating your culture is not true. I've posted on here before. Yes I despise it. When we say hate we don't truly hate the people. Just the way they choose to live. People around here like driving trucks. Sure it's unhealthy for the air we breathe. But so are hummers. Hummers are everywhere. I don't fish, hunt, or actively play sports. Okay? That's your culture. fine. I do not like it. I have my culture too. Going down the shore on weekends, going to Wawa everyday after school with my friends, walking everywhere we needed to go, hanging out in philly, going to NYC for day trips, driving around just to do it. We all have differences in regions. When it comes down to it we like what we grew up with. Most of us at least. I just cant stand the heat. Now when it comes to facts the anger starts. Facts between Jersey and Texas: Jersey has one of the best educations in the country. Texas has one of thew worst. There is more poverty in Texas than Jersey. Texas is more polluted than Jersey. FACT. Texas puts out the MOST green house gases than any other state. And yes you are right that we are more industrial. But because of that we have more restrictions. Texas doesn't have many. People throw trash on the side of the road. People don't recycle here. It's dirtier here because local gov. doesn't force restrictions. Here's some GOOD things about texas. Texas has the best economy (at the moment). Jersey almost ties Cali. for the worst tax burdens and worst state debts. It's cheaper to live here. But you get what you pay for. IT's a GREAT place to retire if you don't mind the heat. Texas is VERY diverse in places. Austin, San Antonio. Both gorgeous cities. Texas has great food but it gets old quickly. Texmex is great but i'll take a hoagie or a philly cheese steak any day over that. Now i've only talked about Texas because its the only place i've lived other than Jersey. When it comes down to it I can't stand the over laid back lifestyle. When you call someone and they say they'll call you back that same day, don't expect them to. The south has a very "ill get to it later" attitude. I really don't think anyone here hates the people who inhabit the south. They may embrace a redneck lifestyle. But they aren't stupid. They denounce the hillbilly, brother and sister bangin, had sex with my VCR, deep woods squirrel for dinner, lifestyle. I assure you that the people of the south have a lot to offer the USA. Like i said i dont hate it. Just dislike it. It doesn't work for me. I've had so many bad experiences with so many people. But i've also had plenty of good. My girlfriend is a texan. We disagree on so much but she is the most non texan ive ever met. She's an amazing graphic designer and she's just now graduating high school. I'm only 19 btw. Just goes to show you that the south does not breed ignorance. Only idiots breed ignorance. And yes there are a lot of idiots here. But there are also a lot of good people too. Now think twice before you tell us to take our "yankee asses" back home. Yes it's our home. But if you want to be like that just cuz we disagree with your lifestyle then you're no better than the people that wronged us in the first place.

agreed. the south sucks and florida is a deep part of the south. do not be mistaken. i grew up there. we were a family of catholic yankees trying to fit into a town of redneck southern baptists who have no tolerance for anyone different from them. i hate the south with a passion. some of the cruelest, most fucked up and stupid people live down there. i wish they would secede. i hate the fact that they actually represent america.
For all those who would say "if you don't like it, leave," I have finally done so. I left upstate South Carolina, and am now deliriously happy in Ohio. The contrast between here and there really makes it obvious to me that the area I left was worse than horrible in every way.

You are just gay and angry that the south isn't as accepting of gay people. You care about the environment? You aren't even in touch with nature like your average southerner. Priorities of the north are so screwed up. You care about fucking iced coffee and make fun of a culture of people who are totally self-sustenant. Just wait and see who thrives. Eat shit.
The vitriol here is staggering. Why one (solongago) would go on a year-long tirade about a place he feels so inconsequential really kinda boggles the mind.
It was actually a fourteen month rant, and it was certainly the most miserable time in the most miserable place in my 53 years of life. Not a day goes by that I'm not jubilant to be out of upstate South Carolina. I hear that Charleston is very nice though, so maybe there are parts of the south that are not ugly lands filled with ugly people with ugly minds. But I only have my own experiences on which to rely.
So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Valvedock Carbon Edition[/url] and I've got to say I made out like a bandit. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it blew me away. I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was very fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.
Outstanding...

Tips on How to fulfill Women with the Mall
If you will be a single guy and aren't the most suitable at locating significantly less meeting girls and are wondering where exactly you would possibly head to find and encounter a girl, then these ten sensible suggestions on how to meet a female along at the mall, might appear in mighty handy.
1 - Go to your meals court. Feel it or not, the foodstuff court could be the absolute prime site within the shopping mall to satisfy a young lady. Here's what you do. Choose a food area and get in line for your meal. While you happen to be in line, appearance around the area where anyone is seated and eating. Glance for the girl seated alone, or even two girls sitting together. When you might have your meal in hand, walk around to wherever she or they are really seated and ask if it is easy to join them. If you are sincere and straightforward with them, your probabilities are fairly very good.
2- Do some considering. Prior to you even take into consideration proceeding on the local mall to meet a female, sit your own self down and do some really serious thinking. Want to consider how you may meet a young lady and what you may say to her if you should be prosperous. Consider which parts of the shopping mall you'll stop by. Also, you are likely to have to purchase something while there, what do you may need? Lastly, bear in mind what meeting a girl inside a public position entails. Surely you can really have to glimpse to get a wedding ring prior to speaking into a gal, and you are going to be expected to keep in mind if it is wiser to speak to some woman alone or just one who is with others. Ultimately, you can expect to have to become sensible about your personal age and the ages of this woman you want to satisfy. As in, you may really need to inform oneself being practical and don't you could try to satisfy ladies that happen to be substantially younger or older than you happen to be, or that search out of the league.
3 - Ask for boost. As soon as you happen to be at long last at the local mall, one within the tactics to meet girls is by asking them for guide. Ladies know that men have no plan what they're performing once they are shopping, so asking for be of assistance will not appear such a ridiculous idea. Request guidance in picking out a jacket for all by yourself one example is. Performing so let's the woman know that you just are single. If she agrees to help you, consult her other queries as you grab a variety of jackets to experiment with on.
Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this, but I am having some real difficulty learning guys girl I infer from guys girl [url=http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=stana4
guys girl [/url] that site, but it as a matter of fact didn't look as if to give alot of sentiment to me. Can someone pretty please improve me? It's so exhausting to convene the girls of my dreams.
Although I am proud to be a northerner, I gotta agree with some of these southerners about these uppity, east coast types. I'm from Youngstown, Ohio (the rust belt, where the real people are) and these elitist northeast pricks like to rip on us too. Let's all get together and tell the northeast how great they are, and thank them for making us see how stupid the rest of the country is. Generals Grant and Sherman were both from Ohio. I guess those geniuses from the east couldn't figure out how to win a war. Midwest is the best.
Isn't the hot dog eating championship somewhere in jersey ? I always suspected the folks in jersey liked to go down on a good wiener. Ha ha. Fuck you. You smell like nigger diahrrea.
And isn't Jersey the one that gives the government the most money and receives the least in return? Pretty sure it is. The south's poor culture thrives off welfare and food stamps. Jersey's tax dollars hard at work helping trailer trash stay alive. Obviously this doesn't include the actual hard working individuals who know how to make a buck and live like the rest of us. My first thoughts when driving through the south was why are there so many poor people? Everyone in this country has the chance to succeed or fail. You claim us "Yankees" in the northeast are tight ass and always stressed. At least we get a good education and work hard during the week. We don't put up with your whiny bullshit stories. Get out of your trailer, put down your bong, stop wasting your welfare checks on fast food and cigarettes, go to college and find a job. It isn't that hard. And if instead you just want to sit on your front porch listening to your shitty country music while drinking nasty ass beer all day then you can go stick your dick in a fire ant nest. The south has plenty of them I can tell you that from experience. Now let me apologize to the actual good people I know that are southern and who get the hint that the civil war was 150 years ago.
i just want to say that i have lived in the south all my life, and while some of these are true, most are complete stereotypical lies.
Yeah, and Newark, New Jersey really broke the mold in regards to racial harmony.and I'm sure all of you college educated, we love everyone types are always down in hood kickin it with Tyrone, because ya'll love minorities, as long as they're out of sight. Piss up a rope you smug cocksuckers. What do Jersey and NYC contribute to America ? Oh, that's right, they contribute to stealing from elderly and working class Americans. Last time I checked,Wall Street was nowhere near the South. Fuck you very much
Gotta agree. Only folks who like people from jersey are people from jersey. Only good person to come outta Jersey was Rocky Balboa. The I-Tai stallion really knew how to keep them niggers in their place. But like most guys from Jersey, he wasn't real sharp. You could tell by the way he talked. I know that for a fact. I met him once.
If I'm in my trailer with my bong, how can I be on the front porch ? If all I wanna do is sit on my porch and drink beer, how would it be possible to stick my dick in a fire ant nest ? Most trailers don't have porches. They're more of a stoop, kinda like the early Dutch settlers in what is now, New york city. Damn, you're really "STOOPid"
Oh yeah great way to classify Jersey using ONE city. Newark's a shithole and even I'm willing to admit that. But the majority of Jersey and the northeast is actually nice if you took the time to see it. And you cant tell me that it's stereotypical lies. Every stereotype came from a truth. Even if it's the smallest minority of people. I lived in East Texas for five years. Don't tell me that it doesn't exist. And if most of you bashing me have any sense to form a proper sentence, which I see you are certainly capable of, then you are more than likely not one of the people I rant about. There are poor people everywhere but I saw a huge increase of them when I lived in texas. There are those who want to work but cant, and those who just dont want to. It makes me sick to think that my money would help someone who is fully capable of helping themselves. I dont understand a lot of why the people acted the way they did when I lived in the south. What I dont understand even more is why I was treated with hostility when I came with an open mind and expected friendliness in return. I never had any bad thoughts before I moved. But I lived there. I experienced it. And like I said it doesn't include the people that actually make a living for themselves. Believe it or not I had friends there and I still do. New Jerseyans are not bad people. You can't judge a whole state or whole region based on a minority. And that's not what I'm doing. I'm judging the actions of the people I saw and that's it.
Why don't you just come out and say it already ? "I hate those no good, poor people. It doesn't matter where they're from."
Fuck these east coast motherfuckers. Everyone is so tired of these arrogant pieces of shit telling everyone how great they are. I'm from Toledo, Ohio and I'm sorry if no one lives up to the standards you set for all of us in, "flyover land." At the end of the day, I'm not too worried what you fucks think about us. You think you're progressive ? Iowa has gay marriage, Michigan has medical marijuana, New York has neither. Milwaukee has elected 3 Socialist mayors and the list goes on and on. Iggy and the stooges from Detroit were the first punk band, yet all we hear about is CBGB's. Cleveland has done a shitload more for rock & roll than NYC, and yet, they make fun of the rock hall but still want it in New York. But thanks for Jersey Shore. Very cosmopolitan.
John Glenn, Thomas Edison, Wright brothers, steven spielberg, paul newman, halle barry,dave grohl (nirvana), maynard keenan (tool), marilyn manson, jeffrey dahmer, charles manson, 8 u s presidents, harriett beecher stowe, james thurber, toni morrison, dean martin, state with most soldiers in union army, first traffic light, battle of lake erie resulting in british defeat in 1812, john d rockefeller martin sheen, allen freed, jack nicholas, now leading industry in green technology.-Ohio. Go ahead and laugh it up, fuckers.
No one even said anything bad about Ohio so why are you acting like it? I never had a bad experience with that place and it's good that you mention the great people who came out of there. Thomas Edison was a great man and even though he wasn't from Jersey, the state respected him enough to name a city after him. So you can't say we dont show respect. And if you judge the east coast or even just my state by the tv show "jersey shore" then you really need to get out more. Note that all of those idiots on the show, except for one, are all from new york and rhode island. And they are an extreme minority. The beaches on the east coast are family oriented. All beaches tend to be. I grew up there I think I would know. I base my opinion of other places on fact. The south, more than other regions, has a lot of poor people. I don't hate all poor people. There are disabled people and children that come out of abusive homes that need government assistant. I have no problem helping the people that need it. But like I said I am completely against laziness. There are too many grown idiots who think that their job at a fast food restaurant and the government paying the rest is an okay way to live. It's not. No one starts off rich unless they are born into it. The majority of wealthy people in this country worked hard from day 1 to get where they are. They got the education and grew up. Why the people I was around in texas didn't try harder is a mystery I'm still trying to figure out. And if any of you criticizing me have a logical answer filled with reason can tell me why its like that, I'll be willing to listen. But if you're just going to attack my region and state then it doesn't seem like you're coming up with anything to counter my reasons for criticizing the things I encountered. I am willing to admit that my state is far from perfect. We have inner city troubles in our major cities and an overcrowded state. Rush hour is never fun but I believe living here is worth it. I love south Jersey countryside and it's beaches. I appreciate the fact that it has plenty to do in North Jersey too. Not all of the state is full of traffic jams 24/7 and smoke stacks like many ignorant fools seem to believe. You can't judge a place until you lived there. If any of you lived in a bad part of my state and disliked it as much as I do texas then I'd respect your opinion of it. At least you tried it. So tell me. Why is much of the south so poverty ridden? Simple question.
No one even said anything bad about Ohio so why are you acting like it? I never had a bad experience with that place and it's good that you mention the great people who came out of there. Thomas Edison was a great man and even though he wasn't from Jersey, the state respected him enough to name a city after him. So you can't say we dont show respect. And if you judge the east coast or even just my state by the tv show "jersey shore" then you really need to get out more. Note that all of those idiots on the show, except for one, are all from new york and rhode island. And they are an extreme minority. The beaches on the east coast are family oriented. All beaches tend to be. I grew up there I think I would know. I base my opinion of other places on fact. The south, more than other regions, has a lot of poor people. I don't hate all poor people. There are disabled people and children that come out of abusive homes that need government assistant. I have no problem helping the people that need it. But like I said I am completely against laziness. There are too many grown idiots who think that their job at a fast food restaurant and the government paying the rest is an okay way to live. It's not. No one starts off rich unless they are born into it. The majority of wealthy people in this country worked hard from day 1 to get where they are. They got the education and grew up. Why the people I was around in texas didn't try harder is a mystery I'm still trying to figure out. And if any of you criticizing me have a logical answer filled with reason can tell me why its like that, I'll be willing to listen. But if you're just going to attack my region and state then it doesn't seem like you're coming up with anything to counter my reasons for criticizing the things I encountered.

I apologize for the fact that my comment that posted three times.
Nice post, Garden State. Well put. First, I think when you have slavery in your historical D.N.A., it's hard to fathom an idea such as economic equality. Second, a stagnant population made up of Ulster Scots and Anglos, (not that there's anything wrong with that, but they do have a history of oppressive practices which the south can't seem to rid itself of) as opposed to, I can only speak for the Cleveland, Ohio area, a later arrival of "White Ethnics," Germans, Poles, Hungarians, Italians, Slovenian. s,Ukrainians, Irish Catholics and Scandanavians. With them, they brought new, progressive ideas from their homeland, whereas the South never had this because they tend to hate anyone that's not WASP. And third, they hate organized labor. And another thing, one of the previous posts left out Joe Walsh, Cleveland's adopted son. And Rocky was from Philly.
Ever try to get a pierogi down south ? Good luck
Cleveland blows. Even Lebron left.
Atlanta and New orleans are glam cities. In defense of my yankee bretheren, Cleveland is a real city with real people. Here in Fon du Lac Wisconsin we have bigger deer than the south could ever dream of. I am sitting round a fire drinking. Does that make me a redneck ? No. You losers don't realise that we a much hardier stock than you could ever be. Try to survive a great lakes winter, you won't make it. We built this country, Appleton, Green Bay, Duluth, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Gary, Flint, youngstown. All you southern losers do is hold us back. The god you love so much will judge you one day, and you'll be found guilty of the worst sin there is, keeping others down. Why don't you retarded ftcking hilljacks try to secede again ? Nobody will stop you. Why is every retatd from Alabama have the nickname, Bama ? Fuck you, jefferson davis was a two dollar whore.
THE RUSTBELT SHALL RISE AGAIN ! Fuck the south and all the inbred, progress hating sister fuckers that live there. Farthest Norrth you fuckwads ever made it was Gettysburg, before you got the shit knocked outta you and called it quits. Then you badass motherfuckers decided that you'd show a bunch of nigras who was boss. Go fuck your mothers, because that fat old sea hag needs some cock because your toothless daddy is out chasin the colored women. Come North and we'll make Deliverance seem like a walk in the park.
And for all you east coast faggots that moved south, if you don't like it there, get the fuck out. The only thing anyone east of Latrobe, Pa does, is look down on other people, and claim to be so much smarter than eveyone. Fuck you too. Stay in the south, you hipster shitbags. When I was in the Army, we met some bougie prick from Boston who drove a jap car and we knocked the dogshit out of him. Yeah that's right. MICHIGAN
It's because of people like you that I wish we would have won the war NOT for slavery but for our own country. The south would be a much better place if we didn't have Yankees that say they hate us but taking their lazy asses and moving down here (GA). They take up so much room and then complaining that it's god awful down here. We have so many Starbucks, Dunkin' Doughnuts and Walmarts that I could puke. O what I would not give to have mom and pop shops on every corner like there was in my childhood then the economy would be better too. It's sad that I am being pushed out of my home town where my past generations have lived for hundreds of years because these damn Yankees judging us left and right. I'd rather live in a neighborhood full of a black southern people than be next to a white pussy Yankee.
Guess what, none of you have to come to the South. I am from the south born and raised. Lived in the North for many years working and this is complete and utter bullshit. Let's look at the projects in Chicago. Oh but wait the South is the only region that has seperate communities for races right? Fail. New York, walking down the street and i was struck with the vile smell of sewage. I asked someone about it and come to find out it was garbage and a backed up sewage line under the street. No trees to be seen unless you went to central park and we can't hardly call that natural since its all man made. Funny but i've seen just as many trucks running around he North as i have the South. So that....fail. Enviroment, please. Take a look at the smog levels in the big cities. Turn on a weather station down South and see if you can find a weather report of the local smog level. Not going to happen. "Y'all" ......you're kidding right? What about "y'ins"....i am assuming that's an abbreviation for you ins?!? Heard it spoke all over the North. Isn't that a currency in another country?! So again....fail. The points you try to make are simply an attempt to start something that you know you can't finish. By the way, we never called the Civil War an act of Northern Aggression. That is something that perhaps your Northern friends tried to lead to to believe so you could prejudge Southerners......again fail. So keep yourself in the North and i will.keep myself in the South and we will all be happy. Or i may just start a blog that spews ignorance like this one here but mine will be about the North. Hopefully my imagination will run as wild as yours!

Now I would' ve used ChickHen to flash custom firmware to his psp but he updated to 5.55. So I was wondering if the Half Byte Loader program would be able to run the 5.50 D3 installer at all, since I noticed the program is beta and apparently as many problems left, long enough to flash firmware without bricking his psp.
Hi Amanda,
I stumbled upon this blog while I was reading about how certain schools in the South want to abandon the teaching of evolution in favor of creationism. I don't think it is the South that people hate. It is decisions like this that originate from the South that have rational people sick. You seem like an educated woman. I hope the students in your school aren't being told fairy tales about how dinosaurs are the devils way of denying Jesus Christ. You are quick to point out that you are a woman of God. Like most "Christians" you do exactly what Christ would be against. Rather then turning the other cheek you write a equally insulting and anger fueled blog. Don't think that just because you may be better educated then the person you were lashing out at that you are justified. You see Amanda, although I commend you and your family for going against the grain and broadening yourselves I would be quite surprised to hear that even with all that schooling you are anything more then a right wing bible toting republican who would trade in all of her school books for a bible. You see Amanda you can dress a tird up like an ice cream but inside the nice package its still a tird. By the way Amanda, I am from Boston. Not to far away is Harvard University. I am curious where you received your education? Something tells me that even with your extensive degrees you lack any real world knowledge. Did you go to a Southern Community college? Perhaps you logged onto the computer to take classes each night while throwing back some buttered grits and a mich Ultra? Did you have to tell your husband to turn down the Nascar while you tried to study? My guess is that you wouldn't win a trivia game against a 8th grade New England student much less a real college graduate. Anyone who stays in the pit that you live in can't be all that bright.
I agree. The South is completely worthless. I took the Sbux and DD comments as light-hearted jokes so I don't know why people are taking them seriously.
The South was designed for slavery and now that slavery is gone the South has nothing and will never recover. It is a vast wasteland of ignorance that stubbornly refuses to change its ways. Southerners love to hate on welfare, but they are the biggest welfare receivers of them all. There are no good jobs in the South so the northerners pay all the tax and the South gets some of that money. I would love to see the South expelled from the USA. Then, they will see how far they can go without real developed cities.
I am a native of Atlanta where I spent my first 20 years. I've lived in Boston for the past 40 years. I'm white, but, born in 1943, grew up under Jim Crow. I am truly ashamed to say that until about 1960, I was pretty much oblivious to it all. Story was that everyone, blacks ("colored") and whites, liked things the way they were. How could I have been so stupid! Martin Luther King freed me. I hate the south. It's a wasteland of racism, religious self-righteousness and hypocrisy. My 87-year-old mother and my sister still live in the Atlanta area. I still hear my mother make the same racist remarks she made back in 1960. My well-educated younger sister is not much better. I can't stand to visit. I have a crazy, irrational fear of being stuck there, unable to leave. Last time I visited I told my yankee husband I was petrified that there would be another Sept. 11 while I was there and I would be unable to fly out. Only when he promised that he would drive down and rescue me, if necessary, did I go. Every time I go, I count the minutes until I'm back on a plane out of there. I haven't been there since '07. The longer I stay away the better I like it. I read everything I can get my hands on about the south under Jim Crow and the desegregation of Atlanta - "The city too busy moving to hate." Oh how I wish I could rid myself of this dreadful southern accent. It's the only southern thing about me that lingers and every time some stranger mentions it I shudder.
oh my gosh! this was a good laugh i just moved to the south for school and i absolutely hate it!! I yearn for the day I can transfer 24/7. Everythin you said is so true! Talk about a culture shock

Hello Nick,
I just thought I would respond and give you a true answer to your "sincere" questions. So let's see. No I have never taught creationsim or evolution. I am a United States history teacher. It isn't in my curriculum. However, I have several friends who are science teachers and they do teach evolution. Actually here in South Carolina it is part of the official curriculum for several science courses, therefore, it is required teaching in classrooms. If they don't teach it, the teacher isn't doing their job. Creationism appears no where in our state curriculum. We are not allowed to teach about religion in our school system. We would be disciplined or even fired. I don't think I have ever mentioned my religion to my students.
Question 2 - Am I a republican. The answer is no. I consider myself a moderate. I identify and agree with several positions from both the democratic and republican party. I voted for George W Bush. However, this past election I voted for Barack Obama. I will be voting for a democrat for SC governor this year. Your assumption is false.
Question 3: Did I go to a southern community college or get my degree online. No I attended the University of South Carolina to obtain my BA in History and Coastal Carolina University to obtain my MA in education. BTW, my husband and I don't like NASCAR. I'm not a fan of grits. We do however, enjoy Mich Ultra on occasion. I'd rather drink a dark ale, but I like maintaining my slim 140lb (at 5'9") figure.
Assumption: I would trade all my books for 1 Bible. I own 1 Bible. It sits along side my collection of over 500 other books. I'm an avid reader. I wouldn't trade any of my books. Reading helps you obtain knowledge.
I enjoy visiting new places and I have a lot of real world knowledge. I do like living in the south, however. I guess I am attracted by the same thing that brings the mass numbers of northern snowbirds and retirees.
Of course, you will ignore this whole response. Why because you aren't interested in reading fact. You only wish to spew stereotypes and preconceived notions.
I need to make a corretion in my last post. In error I stated that we are not allowed to teach about religion in our school systems. I meant to say we are not allowed to teach our religion to students. In World History we teach the basic histories, development, and impacts of several different religions in the world.
The Southern States are a insult to the United States of America. The slow to progress and lack of knowledge is a disgrace to humanity. Its a shame southerns are so content and fail to expand their horizons. Unions are not allowed in fear of revealing the true evilness of the work force. Most workers make minimum wages at million dollar companies, they lack the balls to stand up for better wages. Instead most southerners work two to three jobs just a paycheck away from poverty. Hypocrisy is at its finest, but yet there is a church on every corner. Most ppl are to scared to stand up for the rights they have.....(just thankful to have a job, that pays minimum wage). The South is horrible, no freedom, modern day slavery still exsist down here.
I absolutely abhor the south. This was the first thing that came up on google when I searched "I hate the south."
Thank you SO MUCH for this.
I pick up my life
And take it with me
And I put it down in
Chicago, Detroit,
Buffalo, Scranton...
I pick up my life
And take it on the train
To Los Angeles, Bakersfield,
Seattle, Oakland, Salt Lake,
Any place that is
North and West -
And not South.
LANGSTON HUGHES "One-Way Ticket"
WHAT A PERFECT POEM! Thanks, Orchard Knob. The complete verse is below:
I pick up my life
And take it with me
And I put it down in
Chicago, Detroit,
Buffalo, Scranton,
Any place that is
North and East—
And not Dixie.
I pick up my life
And take it on the train
To Los Angeles, Bakersfield,
Seattle, Oakland, Salt Lake
Any place that is
North and West---
And not South.
I am fed up
With Jim Crow laws,
People who are cruel
And afraid,
Who lynch and run,
Who are scared of me
And me of them.
I pick up my life
And taken away
On a one-way ticket—
Gone up North,
Gone out West,
Gone!
This validates my theory that there is a deep, genetically rooted need in all humans to be bigots. So those who for reasons of political correctness cannot express bigotry towards blacks or Mexicans are incredibly repressed, and their bigotry eventually spills out in other ways, usually towards Southerners - or Chinese (in the politically correct version, of the human-rights-violating, killing-our-kids-with-poison-toys, destroying-our-communities-with-Walmarts type.
I'm European and I think starbucks, senseless bickering, the religious right, and dunkin' donuts are all dumb. You northerners go ahead and fight with the southerners over what beer or coffee shop is better. Sigh..typical americans...like children fighting over who has the better toy. Let's face it: the South isn't single-handedly ruining America. Chains, american idol, shows like jersey shore, and morbid celebrity worship are.
I personally like the South, even though it has a lot of unpleasantries. The farthest north I've been is Baltimore, so I can't in good conscience say anything about the North. But I did like Baltimore. The people weren't as warm as in the South, but the architecture was nice.
MM,
Personally, I've never been in a Starbuck's, I don't watch American Idol, I don't even know what "New Jersey Shore" is, and I don't worship any celebrities.
I'm not sure what you mean by "chains."
Wow all of you southern folk are very ignorent as to what is goes on down there. I LIVED there most of my life, in southern mississippi.... It's hell on earth....EVERYTHING in this article is true, people there are as smart as a block of wood, they have no feelings, the school system sucks and everyone there is so fat I can't stand it! Now if you have a disease or something that makes you gain weight I understand, but these lifeforms in the 'Belt of Stupidity' as I call it don't care if they die at 21! At the brainwashing facility (AKA school down there, that's all it is there...) there was a kid so fat he couldn't even sit in a desk, we had to give him a chair and he would sit at a table in the back, and yet he didn't give a damn that his lifespan wouldn't be past 25! And to all of you lower lifeforms reading this I sincerly hope that you get your own damn country, I really do, so that us intelligent upper lifeforms no longer have to be associated with garbage like you. And than maybe we real Americans can bomb your asses like we did Japan, and this time no survivors.
Bless your heart...

Southeastern States Dubbed The Diabetes Belt
The CDC report says that 15 southeastern states are home to a very high percentage of type two diabetics, actually referring to the region as the “diabetes belt.”
The 15 states that make up this “diabetes belt” are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Much of the reason for such a high rate of type two diabetes is the fact that many people who live in these states live a very sedentary lifestyle which results in a high rate of obesity.
To the original author: I couldn't agree with you more!! Had to relocate to hell, i mean Georgia, 5 years ago and I am living what you wrote about. GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!
I hate the south so much! because I was born and raised in georgia I have been trying to get rid of my southern accent for years. thankfully I got rid of it, but it took time. southern hospitality is a myth. if you don't assimilate into southern culture, you are made fun of and called a Yankee. what's even weirder is that they say they are proud of being rednecks. they say heritage, not hate. even though they have a heritage of hate. Many people I know say that they hate hate anything foreign, even though Georgia was named after King George of England! everyone down here is so racist too. they say things to one of my friends who is black to his face that I never even think about saying. and you're right, everyone down here eats really unhealthy things. surprisingly there is a whole foods here. it seems like the only place I can go to get away from this place. only 3 more years left until I graduate high school. I hope I can make it.
Message to "Always hate the South":
I was surprised at the end of your missive to see that you're apparently a high school sophomore. You seem to be quite mature, and see things the way they are there. Good luck escaping. I was there 2-1/2 years, and that was more than enough for me. I try to be tolerant of all people, but I suspect that snow and cold enhance the development of mind and morality. After all, think of the sayings: "hot-headed," "hot under the collar," chill out," "a cool dude." Hot people are angry people; cool people are, well, cool people.
It amazes me how so many yanks hate the South but yet they love to come here. STAY YOUR ASS UP NORTH.. It makes no sense to go to a place you simply do not like.. We have enough of you..
Word of the wise: Nashville is NOT better. It's basically a hillbilly oasis. There's a ton of racist, homophobic, religiously insane people there. I'm so glad I left. If you don't believe me, just look at the "Don't Say Gay" Bill that was passed. Or ask someone in Nashville how they feel about Mexicans or Muslims and you'll get plenty of racist responses. And to finish it off, Nashville has two and only two things: churches and cowboy strip clubs.
Atlanta is probably the most progressive Southern city I can think of (at least in the Southeast). It's really quite nice there.
Yeah, Martin Luther King was such a Southern, Georgia raised asshole. Everyone in the South is so stupid and racist.
WHY I HATE THE SOUTH & GEORGIA IN PARTICULAR
1. Backwards
I received a speeding ticket in Dekalb County – for installment payments, I was put
criminal probation – assigned a probation officer until the fine was paid.
The court said, no traffic school unless license suspension is at risk
In California, just make payments to the court or attend traffic school to avoid
points assigned.
2. Georgia is a gun carry state – historically, gun carry states have lower crime,
Except Atlanta, Ga
3. In 2007 to reduce the car jacking – the Georgia Legislature passed an ordinance
that a citizen can legally place a loaded hand gun on the seat in plain view –
California – no way.
4. In California running or intentionally avoiding the police is a felony – Georgia
it’s a Misdemeanor
5. California a merchant can open a nude bar but would be restricted to non-alcoholic
beverages – no nudity and alcohol either or not both
Atlanta – Both ok
6. Georgia – has a stand your ground law – A resident can kill another human being to
protect real property – West Coast – no one can kill another to protect property
7. Education: California has 5 of the top 20 Educational institutions of higher learning
Georgia – ONE
Law schools – California no 4 yr degree requirement; on line schools ok, various
paths with a difficult 3 day bar exam
Georgia – ABA state only – 4 year degree required
8. I teach real estate related courses in California at the community colleges
Try teaching that in Georgia at the Community college level
9. California my broker’s license allows for both mortgage and real estate sales
Georgia – No way –
10. I lived in 5 different cities in Southern California – compared to Atlanta the crime
(robberies, home invasions, rapes, aggravated assaults and homicides) 2-4x higher
than each city I lived in – California
11. THE SOUTH SUCKS – I HATE THE SOUTH WITH EACH WAKING DAY
ONCE I DIE I WANT ON MY GRAVE IN CALIFORNIA THESE WORDS:
“I WOULD RATHER BE HERE THAT IN THE SOUTH”
