To live or die for Dixie!

i knew the whole time he was a troll because i'm from the same region of the country he claims to be. that's why we kind of hijacked the thread and started having a great discussion about cultural differences

 

lol I just got what I assume is neg rep from the guy going "The south is blocking health care reform????"

lol, yes, yes you guys are, while you complain about socialism yet suck up our money from the north. Buddy, if you want to be a true conservative and up for states rights, I demand back over the past 50 years sum of all the federal money that's been drained from the north and west coast to help fund the south and mid-west. Texas is the only southern state that pays in more then they receive. The deep south can truly shine as the beacon of poverty and backwardness it is.

 

No idea where you get your facts, but your wrong. The northern states aren't funding anything except social programs for their citizens. The South is backward? How is that exactly is that?

 

Because you guys rank as the most conservative states.

And yes, the north and west coast funds every southern state except Texas and Georgia which also pay more then they get in because you guys can't get your shit together.

Damn welfare queens

 

welfare goes mostly to our huge minority population. the crackers mostly take advantage of free lunch, the medical shit, and social security benefits of one type or another.

 

Do you even understand what that website is showing? Federal tax dollars aren't "welfare" dollars. Education, roads, infrastructure.......? If only the South had won.....no public schools to indoctrinate such asshats.

 

Do you realize all federal money creates spending and jobs, you're taking the economy out of one state to support your own dying state.

The south however having the lowest wages in the country is poverty

 

But now the OP is back, so this thread is going to suck again. Even my grandfather wasn't that far over the edge into history revision. He was more into racism. He said that slavery was a benevolent institution because the n*****s were too stupid to take care of themselves. I guess those are just two different forms of convenient rationalization. Nobody really wants to think that their ancestors were on the wrong side in a war. It's a sad thing to think about.

Education is our key weakness. Public education is perceived by too many as more indoctrination than enlightenment. A growing number of fundamentalists in the South choose homeschooling because they would rather their kids know a lot about Jesus than about algebra and calculus and databases. That mindset doesn't help us recruit new employers. The low wage / low education approach doesn't work anymore because China plays it better.

Here's another image from the past that doesn't help:

​

This was once the center of the largest cigarette manufacturing complex on earth, in downtown Winston-Salem (RJ Reynolds). Most large, modern companies don't want their image associated with such places or their history or reputation. Fortunately, you can drive around quite a bit in this town without seeing anything like this.

Hell is going to be a hell of a lot cooler.

Classic no-content comeback. Everyone who has a different view is "misinformed".

 

Private enterprise creates jobs, not the federal government. A government job is nothing but a drain on the economy. Look at what Barry O. is doing. He is expanding the federal government, creating hundreds of new jobs (government jobs) and the economy is still tanking. The government doesnt do anything right.
Do you actually work for a living?

 

Public education is the cause of these problems, not the solution. The government has no business educating our youth, nor do they do a better job than parents. My son is home schooled and is far ahead of his peers. At the age of five he can do basic addition and subtraction with numbers as high as 100, and he reads books.
Statistics (not government sponsored) show home schooled children far ahead of their public school counterparts. Why? Home schooling works and works far better than public schooling.

 

Let me take a stab at who you are; a teenager living with mommy or daddy or a grown man who has never grown up. Did I get that right?

 

Guys, stop feeding the troll. NOBODY is as dumb as EastCoatsRN is pretending to be. This thread is over.

 

VERY TRUE and enlightening, but ya know the lawd will get ya for that.
Don't botha me with facts, son ,I'm a preaching!

 

lol aren't you the 26 year old who said an 19 year old can't possibly know what it's like to fight for their convictions. Lol, going to a teabagger protest does not equate to fighting in the civil war.

 

You have no economic sense do you? Do you actually use public transport, the police, firefighters, public school you know, all those government jobs.

You rally against the government yet your 1/2 of the country is totally dependent on government subsides since as NDY said your own education institutions are failing miserably.

 

You must watch MSNBC. That explains your stupidity.

 

lolz, nevermind, you really are a troll. Like yes, you obviously know chemistry and botany better then a person with a degree in it, or art and music, and offer the social skills of interacting with hundreds of people, and offer up different points of view besides your own.

Do us all a favor, kill yourself, give your children to us

 

I rely on government subsidies? I provide a nice home, food and shelter for my family. Unlike you, I don't mooch off my parents or the government. Government education institutions ARE failing miserably, but my children aren't taking part in that filth.

 

Isn't it past your bedtime?

 

Your mindset is why this country is in the shape that it is in. Barry O. was elected by dimwits like yourself.
