To live or die for Dixie!

:-( i thought people up north liked southern accents. when i went to michigan, lots of guys talked to me and said they loved my mississippi accent. i've always heard people say that it's funny/charming/pretty/sexy, etc. :-(

 

Sometimes yes, it'll work more for a girl as it can invoke the whole girl next door, farmer's daughters, innocent woman who's gonna call you "sugar" type thing. But a lot of times to a lot of people it will just be thrown into the "lol, the south, fuckin retards" category

 

LOL dude what no he wasnt..............................
i think ur mistaken

 

My bad, meant Robert Byrd

Opinion in the South shifted as the war went on. The first Confederate volunteers were mostly troublemakers who thought the war would be short and successful. They thought it would be fun to kick some ass and go home to brag about it. Later, men volunteered because their home state was under invasion. Later still, more guys volunteered because men in their families had died at the hands of the US Army. Towards the end, the CSA was drafting anyone who could stand up and walk. They had to.

I think Natchez is damn cool.

I don't know if it was the guy who came before him or the one who followed him, but one of the imperial wizards lived in Davidson County, NC, where I grew up. I never saw him.

I think you'll be okay up north with a Mississippi accent. South Carolina or Tennessee, not so much.

 

For the record it's not just racism and such why the north goes "lol the south", on top of it it's things like this, and whenever any study comes out on all 50 states you best believe the news will hammer it into your head that we our states up here rank the best

 

you're so right about the csa men. the ones who first rushed out to volunteer had big heads and didn't understand what they were getting into. another thing to consider is, a lot of poor crackers were paid to go to war in place of wealthy plantation owners, so for them the reasons for going were strictly financial.

i used to see bowers almost every sunday. back when my grandmother was trying to make me into a good little southern baptist girl, she would take me to church and afterwards we would go with my papa to the jitney jungle. (considered fine dining in south mississippi) he and bowers and the other old men would talk politics and stuff.

and what's wrong with a tennessee or carolina accent? i find them both very pleasing to the ear, though it does differ depending on which part of the state you are from.

 

well madcap, why do you think i plan on coming up? i never tried to deny that mississippi is a shithole or that the majority of our population, white or black, is pretty backwards, if not medieval in their thought process. mississippi PRODUCES lots of awesome people, but they get the hell out as soon as they can because it's mississippi.

 

I'll give the deep south credit for one thing, they sure know how to cook. And how to feed a person, there's near no Italians down there but damn if they don't eat like Italians

 

Congratulations on becoming a hell-bound sinner. :cheers2:

They sound less educated. If you can't say the word "ice" the way that they pronounce it on NBC News, then northeasterners are going to be skeptical of your education and intelligence. It isn't going to sound cute to them. Leaving the letter G off the end of words is much more acceptable.

That table makes me want to move to Vermont or New Hampshire. Why do you think they ended up being so liberal? Low population density usually means conservative/religious.

 

I don't know, I've always wondered myself. If I took a stab at it I'd say while the states do have lower population, they are much smaller then others. For example Vermonts population is about 90,000 higher then Wyoming, while in an area 1/10 the size. For example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population_density
New Hampshire actually falls above the US's average population density right Vermont a little bit below.

That and the general area, even conservatives up here are liberal by conservatives from say Alabama standard. They both also have a very large amount of college age students and younger people who continue the cycle of liberalness since they move there specifically for how liberal and sparse it is.

They have their own flavor though, there's more elements of libertarianism ideals of liberalism then say the cliche New England type. You got New Hampshire, the "live free or die" state, no income or sales tax, no car insurance laws, ect, you got Vermont who along with Alaska is also the only state where people can pack a gun on them with no permit.

 

hell yes, honey. why do you think we're all fatties? wish you could try my cornbread recipe, handed down from my great, great grandmother. it'd make a yankee like you go into convulsions, it's so good. even people down here are surprised.

i ate at a southern-style restaurant in manhattan once, just to see what their impression of our food was like. the "cornbread" was about 8 inches tall, cold, gummy, packy as hell and had a bunch of sugar in it. disgusting and nothing like southern food at all. say i were to open a southern food restaurant in connecticut-would people come?

 

Hm, this is my idea of cornbread too lol, big, fluffy and golden. I'm not really sure what qualifies as southern food but that's probably an advantage since I haven't seen any restaurants around advertising themselves on southern cooking, and there's a lot of restaurants in New Haven since it has all the Yale kids, heck there's even an Ethiopian one. You might have tough time though, the market is cornered by Italians. You might be converted, we have the best pizza in the country, hell it even has it's own wiki article.

whoa, i have never seen anything that looks like that! clam pizza?! it looks heavenly! all the pizza around here is chain crap. yeah, the food down here is pretty good but i'd rather eat like y'all do up there. the diet down here is not varied enough and the food is good because it's fattening. buncha grease and sugar. yeah, good cornbread is not supposed to be fluffy. i mix yellow cornmeal, buttermilk, and self-rising flour then pour that mixture into a cast iron skillet on top of a half-inch of oil and a light dusting of more corn meal. i bake it awhile and when it comes out you flip it over and coat the top in butter. it's thin and hot and crunchy and chewy. more like fried bread. doesn't that sound good? sound like something you ivy leaguers might eat on occasion?

 

Well for the record we don't eat much healthier either, it's just we take in the good kind of fat, I mean look at that pizza, it's literally soaking in olive oil and grease basically. That corn bread I don't know though, I'd have to eat it, it defies what I've been told is corn bread for the past 2 decades, and I love corn bread so a lot is at stake here.

Yalies............yalies are really into asian food and expensive vegetarian/organic food lol. And the pizza, the pizza converts everyone. Oh and the Italian ice, you know that like hard literally icey stuff they sell in supermarkets, fairs and such, yea that's not italian ice, 98% of this country has no idea what italian ice actually is.

 

what is italian ice? i work at a frozen custard place that is jackson-based. we sell something we call italian ice. it's like crushed-up popsicle in a bucket that scoops out like ice cream. 98% fat free, so we very rarely sell any.

i wish we had some good asian food. we have a little of a chinese and korean population here where i live, and they've all opened "chinese" and "japanese" restaurants. the problem is, if it's authentic, these idiots around here won't like it. so they cater to their market and make every place a buffet with a little fried rice and a lot of fried chicken. one of my best friends is 1st generation filipino, and his family makes some awesome-ass food. try my recipe sometime, by the way. it'll become your new favorite cornbread
