i made a list, yankees beware

I'll agree with all of that.

 

ok they only mention one death in 2002 something tells me this thing isnt killing people by the hour... and hamilton island is a reallly gorgeous place. we used to go there on holidays when i was little, but it is an island out from the mainland so its not exactly like those jelly fish are swimming around in the beach down the road from me

 

Just the same I'll stick w/hot tubs.

Electricity doesn't phase me... *s*

 

Technically yes, CT and RI are considered "New England".....But in every right they don't deserve to be. Seriously Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and maybe parts of MA, are all that matters! People in CT, and RI lack the New England charm, and wholesomeness! ~~~ Just thinking of Fresh Maine Lobster...YUMmmmmm

 

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! I loved it!







I wish people would just shut the hell up about the north and the south. There are great things about the places we all live and there are shitty things. Quit posting stupid shit about why some places are better than others.

 

y'all keep dukin' it out if you like. i'm just gonna stay here in the west. but not california. i hate california. i think it's the asshole of the world.

 

theres parts of it i like, burlington is great. maybe if i enjoyed winter sports, but i don't, except for sledding

we come up with out own fun at school, childish, but fun. the townies, well, i'll just leave it at that, they're townies *shudders*

I thought these were supposed to be good things about the south

rude people fucking rule

 

Being a transplant southerner, now living on the west coast...here's my interpretation of your list...

1.we have waaaaayy better food, can u say fried chicken and mashed potatoes? (i will not argue. I've not found any sort of west-coast food that will fill you up. it's all salad....)

2.theres a reason why there is no "northern hospitality" (because hospitality shouldn't be labeled. It should just be...no matter where you are)

3.yankees are rude (and slapping your wife and calling black men ****** is just the epitomy of niceties.)

4.yankees are loud (Two words: Football games. One more: Nascar.)

5.we have better summers (No. While I do sometimes miss thunderstorms on hot august nights, I don't miss 100% humidity and 100 degree days....I miss the fireflies too)

6. our accents are cuter (only on girls...but boston accents on boys...)

7.we have better names for our parents and grandparents (only if we like them...)

8.(this is for you dog lovers) we have cooler dogs that serve a purpose other than sittin in you prada tote (I agree with bellfire...I've seen more dogs just tied up outside with no interaction other than to have food thrown at them...)

9.we have waaaaaaayyyy more culture (No. You have way more interest in WHITE AMERICAN culture. Come to the west coast or any major city to see lots of culture.)

10.we can say "ya'll" and not get laughed at (not in the south....)

11.were not loud (Again...football and nascar..)

12.we go out of our way to help people (Very true. But so does my fiance...he's a west-coaster)

13.its not so damn cold here!! (I'm from the north end of the south and I beg to differ...)

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

15.were simple people who love simple things (simple things that ruin the ozone layer, or take forever to biodegrade...or cause cancer...)

16. were not as materialistic (which is why I've seen older southern ladies with rooms chock full of nothing but collectibles.)

17.we can wear shorts in april (and we can wear shorts in november too...but people in california can wear shorts year round)

18.we know what "mommaan'em" means (struggling with it)

19.johnny cash was from the south....nuff said

20.were not arrogent YANKEES (you think you're better than a yankee? that doesn't make you arrogant?)

21.we actually get larry the cable guy jokes (I personally hate that man)

22.watchin "the notebook" is much funner cause you know how they live (never seen it)

23.ice tea..nuff said (Southern sweet tea KICKS ASS)

24.the dixie chicks (puke)

25.grits and hush puppies (hush puppies! I hate grits)

26.jim morrison was southern (and he acted so southern...where's he buried again?)

27.its fun to make fun of yankees

and I give up here....

28.yankees talk like they have nasel problems

29.have you ever heard of "a southern gentlemen"? theres a reason for that

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

hahahad, wow,
if this isnt a pissing contest of a thread...

...i have been stationed in alaska for the 2years prior, and i cant wait to go back...
...yeah its cold, but it is what i call home...

so i can argue it a million ways,
no reason why you cant say some nice things about the south,,, and in a general comparison of the time old north vs south,

but no need to bash,
it can be argued a million ways
