So many things on your list made me happy to not live in the south.

 

you would undestand if you lived in the south, even the bad stuff would mean something to you

 

Umm, I've lived all over the place (currently in Tennessee) and lemme tellya I've met a helluva lot higher ratio of hicks - to - other - people in say, Rural Oregon or Upstate NY. Seriously. Maybe you need to go out and see some more places and meet more people, before you just go and start making snap, blaket judgements about people. Seriously. This "I'm better than you" attitude for no other reason than because you're accustomed to the way things work in your own little pocket of the world - that's gonna need to change.

 

I am californian. we rock. think about everybody you dont like, and think about why.
We accept.
Californians rock.

 

I did live in the south for a few years, and my wife is Texan, so I understand its charm. But I'd much rather live in NY among all the different ethnicities and styles and food choices and cool bars with great live music every night and art museums.

 

inbreds like there own......

 

well now, it is true that most southerner are stuck in their ways, but in my family, were not like that. we eat different food, and we are very cultured. but you know your roots and where you come from, and the fact is, that every yankeed that i hvae met that dosnt like southerners , say nasty things about us. so its the same way up there. its a known fact, that we are nicer ppl. u can argue with that. today, this woman i clean for, she used to live in jeresy, and she was jsut a ranting and a raving about how nasty ppl are up there, and how nice and friendly ppl are down here. and she had lived there her whole life. and like i said, i have yankeef riends. but most of theones i have met are nasty and mean. i go up to michigan alot, my brother is up there, and they are all rude to us. i think california would be cool , cause all the ppl i have met from there are very nice,. but there not yankees in my book..

 

Talkin bout yanks or fruitcakes?

 

Just havin' a little fun with your list. Don't take it too seriously.

 

I welcome you....I am currently in virginia, and ma moving to northern nevada, but riverside california will always be in my heart

 

hahahahahhah nahh its funny. we make fun of yankees, so of course there gonna make fun of us. lol those were really funny tho lol. we have flaws too, but yankees have more hahahahhah..jk u guys

 

I beg to differ.

 

i cant help myself!!!

HOME

I grew up in Vashti
North Carolina
out in the country
where nobody had
cell phones or cable tv
I never wore shoes
momma always said being barefoot
made your feet tough enough
to walk on the gravel
We always knew
when it was time to go barefoot
when the Dogwoods bloomed
I grew up
with two brothers and two sisters
I'm the baby
My big brother Adam
used to take me for rides
on his dirt bike
my little feet dangling on the sides
as we rode throught the mountain air
my brown hair
messier than ever
my Daddy
always let me help him
plant the garden
I took it very seriously
hoe
seed
cover
water
all day long
just Daddy and me
Sometimes
he would let me drive the tractor
other times
i rode on the wheel cover
as he plowed the garden
It was always tough on me
being so little and all
So I fell asleep
head in the dirt
feet straight up
on the telephone pole
I was homeschooled
So I didnt have many friends
except for the neighbor girl
i used to dance with
in the front yard
the woods
was my best friend
my faeries and knomes
helped me build forts out of rope
and broken electronics
I picked every flower i saw
half i would give to momma
and half i would keep
I used to love to walk
in the freshly tilled earth
and the thorns in the woods
would prick my feet
but I refused shoes
Momma says
I talked to myself alot
but there was always someone there
Now
I still live in Vashti North Carolina
No one has cell phones or cable tv
I never wear shoes
and i walk on the gravel just fine
I never go barefoot before the dogwoods bloom
my legs dont dangle
on the side of a dirtbike anymore
but the mountain air still blows my brown hair
Daddy still plows the garden
and my toes
always find themselves embedded
in the freshly tilled earth
Im done with school
and i have many friends
but i still dance in the front yard
just my Ipod and me
the wood is still my best friend
the thornes still prick my feet
because i refuse to wear shoes
the faries and knomes
welcome me
each time i enter
I'm 5'9
almost 16 years old
I have boobs now
and a love for a man
but I still pick flowers
half for momma
and half for me

 

I agree that a lot of people in Jersey are pricks. There is also a major Guido problem in Jersey and Long Island. Lots of kids with blown back, gelled up hair and major attitudes and fake tanning problems. But, every region has its draw backs.

 

oh come on crummy rummy, the reason that we are the poorer section of the US, is because were too lazy to make the money!!!!! laid back is just another word for laziness. thats why we are fatter down here LOL

 

i agree, somedude, every jersey person i ahve met is just plain out nasty!!! except for one family, there nice, but there still loud.

 

I wouldn't say every person. Just a lot. But a lot of southerners can come across as really dumb. And racist. And Californians can come across as superficial egomaniacs. And Midwesterners say pop instead of soda.

 

1.we have waaaaayy better food, can u say fried chicken and mashed potatoes? can you say fresh Maine Lobster & Steamers

2.theres a reason why there is no "northern hospitality"
southern hospitality is highly overated and fake

3.yankees are rude
there's a difference between blunt and rude

4.yankees are loud
no louder than the raging nascar fans you got slugging back budweiser

5.we have better summers

12.we go out of our way to help people

14.we can watch movies like "O brother where art thou" and understand what their saying


15.were simple people who love simple things
simple minded isn't always a good thing

17.we can wear shorts in april

27.its fun to make fun of yankees

28.yankees talk like they have nasel problems
southerners talk like they're missing a cromosome or twelve

29.have you ever heard of "a southern gentlemen"? theres a reason for that
yeah, up here we call them fags


30.southerners are the most laid back ppl on earth and dont have sticks up their butts

31.square dancing is fun as hell, and we invented it!

alright, I got bored and gave up after 36. I'm sorry, the southern states are the poorest both financially and in terms of education in the nation. Unfortunately for those that live there it shows.

the number one reason why the north owns the south

WE DIDN'T VOTE FOR BUSH

the number two reason

WE DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM A SECOND TIME

 

Well, this is a little random but I'm a Canadian and we all say 'pop' as well. I find it strange whenever I hear someone say 'soda,' because I'm just not used to it.

And I liked that poem.
