to preface this post, let me say i am a military brat, i grew up in south jersey, but reside thank god south of the mason dixon. my people come from pike county kentucky, wyoming county west 'by god' virginia, and southern ohio. my great maternal grand mother is full blood indian (thanks to the timber, rail road, then of course coal mining corporations to pacify the hillbillies who DARED to organize and set fire to the company store)...military brat so i wouldnt have to be in a mine right now.
what cousin brother matthew LRFlip and uncle pappy Kennith is simply saying is, respect the fact that not all southerners or hillbillies are backwards sister fuckers. not all of us believe slavery was right. we cling to our bibles and passed down firearms, because thats all meema and pa-pah had to keep the 'man' off our fucking backs. even when they set fire to their homes to pacify their demands for safe working conditions.....and go figure the 'man' was always some smooth talking yankee business man. just like my home Maryland, it was the smooth talking business men that separated the freestate.
head to appalachia area and youll find some of the most interesting progressive people you'll ever meet. shit, hillbillies have been ORGANIC long before organic was made hip up north.
when in the south, open doors for women, say hello to anyone that passes, and keep your loud fucking mouth shut on Sundays before noon. don't beat us down when it comes time to pay the bill AFTER you already agreed to the estimate.
southern man will invite you in their home, cook you some biscuits, give you the shirt off their back, and help you be on your way, whilst a yankee will yell at you for wasting their time, yell foul slurs at a woman walking past, and smooth talk you out of the shirt off your back.
the best part of having hillbilly blood in me is the 'revenge'. ill bend over backward sfor you (you dickheads know me and know thats fact) but you slight me, and im your worst fucking nightmare....meema taught me that. you yankees have no idea what that truly means and it's actually quite unfortunate. it's called being family.
ill take hot biscuits and fat back over cold bagels and bullshit any day of the fucking week.

not to mention, i've been across the ocean, sailed the caribbean, been to Los Angeles, Chicago (great fucking town....food is crazy, people are the amazing! my aunt Patchie moved up out of the mountains so there's even a hillbilly contingent in the windy city), NYC....you name it BUT i never feel as home as when im kicking it with the inbreds at the Outpost in Eldorado on sunday morning having breakfast and just kickin it.
I find it hard to believe that those who don't understand what we are trying to say will ever understand where we are coming from.
Lemme see if I can explain:
Yinz don't walk into a bar that serves "Vitamin I" wearing an Eagles Jersey.
But, if you're a Duke fan you can walk into a bar on Franklin St. and as long as you don't start shit; there won't be no shit.

All I'm saying is don't generalize either compass point. I know plenty of assholes from both sides of the mason/dixon line. I also know plenty of people who are good folks.LRflip said:
I will say one thing, I hear more Yankee bashing here then I ever heard about hillbillies up north.
Don't talk about rude as being a northern thing because it sure as hell exists down here. The myth of the genteel south is just that.
The reason you don't hear people complaining about us in the North is two things:
1. People from the south don't typically move north.
which leads to #2:
2. People from the North have to deal with each other and that's bad enough.

Hmm, family. Interesting concept. So Yankees don't understand the concept of family? You live in the south and automatically are part of a tightly knit family, but that can't happen in the north?
It is precisely because of people like you that I have virtually no interest in visiting the south. You preach the whole don't prejudge me because I'm from the south thing, but then do the same thing when applied to the north.
I, on the other hand, am a Yankee that understands that all southerners aren't like you and aren't prejudiced towards northerners. I realize that, in general, people are the same everywhere. In the north there assholes and decent people and the same applies to the south. There are dumb ass rednecks in the north and dumb ass rednecks in the south. You think that there is some magical thing that happens on your side of the mason dixon line, but the only thing that changes is that people have a different accent.
I did not realize there was even still a "quarrel" between North and South... My grandparents were from eastern KY, so maybe I have the manners, (and actually ate cornbread)...... but live among the Yanks.
Using a wildly overgeneralized statement, Cali, Jersey, and the New Yorkers, that's what need nuked, earthquaked, tsunamied, hurricaned, or what have you...... fuckers get to many electoral votes!!

It's interesting that you chose to only respond to that and left the rest of it alone.
It's because you are wrong. You generalize and lump all Northerners together. You are guilty of doing the same thing that you accuse Northerners of.

I have spent countless hour at the Hartsfeld Jackson airport. For the amount of volume it produces I must say they do a damn good job.
As for Yankees in the South? I say learn to fucking drive and point your car north.
Having lived in both NY and NC, I can honestly say that the south has more genuinely nice people. The kind that say "Hi" when you pass them in the street.
The last time I was in DC, I was standing in line at the store.. The guy in front of me turns around, I nod my head and say "Hi".. He says: "Do i know you?" I laugh and say "No"
I had apparently forgotten where I was.

I have never met so many self righteous rural folks in any other part of the country north of the Mason Dixon. Its there way or no way,

Is Florida still considered "the south"? I ask because I think 3/4's of the people living in Florida are from the tri-state area.
