Why do we keep putting up with the South? (1 Viewer)

[TxBuckeye]

I find it pretty humerous that the OP made a grand total of one post, and yet this thing has already gone on for 12 pages. He is indeed the master fisherman. He just put the thing on auto pilot and watched you all claw your way over each other to get in to the boat.

Having some fresh fish tonight.

Otis > that's what they don't sell at your safeco.

Yeah impossible to find fresh seafood on Long Island or Manhattan Island, the two places between which I split my day.

Grouper.

In nearly every category the South drags the country down. If we were to cut off the South we'd go from like 50th in math to something like top 10. http://www.measureofamerica.org/maps/ Southern politicians poison our politics with theocracy and anti-science movements and drag our debates further from facts and closer to cultural identity. The South drags us into wars and pushes the country towards military adventurism in the name of Democracy. Kicking and screaming this region comes into the 21st century with experts predicting states like Mississsippi only LAST YEAR formally accepted the 13th amendment abolishing slavery and if not for the Supreme Court would still likely bar interracial marriage. Hell, a poll done recently still showed that almost half the polled citizens still think interracial marriage shouldn't be allowed.

Now, not everyone from The South is responsible for this terrible idea. It is borne of a history of oppression and imperialism that dates back far beyond the years of anyone reading this forum. However, it is one thing to recognize and act to change as so many brave folks have. Its another for a region to embrace its backwardsness and bring down the rest of the country with it. Bastions of civilization like Houston, Atlanta, Austin, and Little Rock among others, all strive to buck this trend. But the rural Southern White masses strive to bring them down and assimilate them, borg-style, into the Neo Conservative backwards land of Ayn Rand and the not-quite-fiction Zachary Hale Comstock.

Nearly every cultural aspect of the South that wasn't coopted from Black people is also terrible. We have R&B, Rock, Soul, and some awesome cajun food-all originating from non whites. Awesome South! But what else do we have? Oh horse racing, #### fighting, massively unhealthy food grown from the largesse of Southern Whites living the high life on the backs of others, and alcohol that will kill you before you can even get drunk. Nearly every part of it is either taking advantage of someone else's labor, or is actively bad for you.

And ho ho ho, but what about other states that have terrible things about them? Well yeah, a lot of states DO have terrible things. Oregon had a black-face inspired eatery only a few decades ago. Rural New York still suffers from racist activity, and Idaho has seriously considered secession bills because of the way things are going with the most Evil of Evils, President Obama. These are terrible things also bringing the country down. However, the parallels all draw your eye to the Southern states. These Northern states have ####ty things going on because they are emulating the culture of the South-they only have populations not willing to codify it and drive the culture like the South does.

So you keep your Piggly Wigglys, your Chic-Fil-A's, your NASCAR, and your football (boo on that one). We'll take actual culture and progress over that any day.

I'm pretty sure we tried our best to disassociate with the North. The offer is surely still on the table.

Slow season. We do this once or twice a year around here. It's kind of a tradition. He isn't even very good at it but we run with it for the shtick mostly.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

When I was a kid and the rival gang from across the Avenue came over to our side, they would match their best guys up against our best guys.

So in the spirit of fair fights, I'm curious to know which cities you guys will put up against New York (basically the capitol of the world), Chicago, LA, and Boston. I literally think we could throw our sixth man at you, roll out San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and, Denver, and we could call it a night.

I know I know, you guys have rad crawfish. Vomit.

I'll take OBX life every day of the week over any of them.

Yeah the PCB and mercury levels they found in the fish at the Fulton Market sound yummy and ever so delish. Do they even allow women to eat the fish from there?

This is why the south lost. Pansies.

If you search "hot southern girls," in Google you get, well, you go see.

If you search, "hot norther girls," in Google you get, well, you go see. (although the second picture that comes up has to be a tranny playing volleyball.)

No other parameters. No specific definition of what is south and what is north. Just..... search. And enjoy.

I see a lot of the girls that were hot southern girls on the northern page. Don't try to lay claim to our women folk.

Oh so now northern powerhouse Google is to blame. Of course.

Is Stanford in the north now?

Do you guys even have a city where you're allowed to buy a drink and walk out of the bar with it? Or is every city in the North still convinced that you should have to huddle around and pretend adults don't drink alcohol for fear that your frilly little panties will bunch up at the sight of a full grown man drinking a beer on a sidewalk?

With the cities he listed as on his team, pretty sure O is laying claim to the Midwest, Mountain states and West Coast.

 

[Henry Ford]

You try to walk out of a bar in New York with a scotch you have already paid for and they act like you're the head of a Mexican Cartel trying to cross the God####ed border. Relax, Nancy, I've had this particular spirit before. I'll finish it before it catches fire and causes any serious casualties.

While you're at it, go ahead and claim London, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, Amsterdam, and Rio for your side.

Maybe we could settle this by figuring out which posters complain the most about their jobs, commutes, housing prices, taxes, etc.

Complaining about that stuff is a requirement for citizenship in New Jersey. You have me at a disadvantage sir.

Based on a lifetime of watching Cops, isn't this less of a North v. South issue, and more of a New Orleans v. everywhere else issue?

Are we limiting this to the northeast vs. the southeast?? Because if so, holy jesus, massacre.

Oh yeah, well we have Fort Lauderdale!!

I had Thanksgiving in Georgia once. We ate a pretty crappy meal and then all went out back with grandma and shot shotguns, handguns, rifles, and AK-47s at a pile of stuff. pew pew, pew pew! It was rad.

Congratulations on making friends with the only family in Georgia that doesn't have a decent cook.

Is this another slavery joke?

Remember when you guys liked slavery so much you fought your countrymen to defend it?

Yeah, that's a side I want to align with.

If you were starting a country and had a city draft, are you telling me you wouldn't draft NYC in the top, oh I dunno, say 1?

I get it, we work harder and we're stupid and we enjoy life less, but if you need an engine for your economy, don't you start somewhere around there?

I'd draft nawlins or Memphis, cuz we gots them good barbacues!

I can't imagine that being a good pick.

Remind us: is this the same slavery which delivered humans in northern ships, insured it out of New England, financed by northern banks, manufactured by northern mills, which provided clothes bought by northern merchants, and shipped out all over again on the end by northern shipping companies? That slavery?
