I'm severely libertarian but that's irrelevant, you asserted that if North Carolina didn't recognize same sex marriage gays wouldn't live there.



im not saying that N. Carolina doesnt recognize same sex marriage. im saying they do not preform them in their borders, and gay couples (should) still be receiving all the benefits, as those are primarily federal, and have already said if this is not the case, i disagree with the law.

Their fries have never been the same since they stopped using trans fats. It's a pity, really.

So it's irrelevant how far back into the thread it was then.

Cool.

Redneck, you people don't even know what that means do you? You don't know that the term is a respectable term that originated in the fight against the Mining Corporations? Redneck, in the literal translation was someone who fought in the Mining Corporation-Mining Union wars of the late 18 hundreds, where those miners fighting for better wages and better conditions wore red bandannas around their necks.

So yeah as someone from Kentucky, and a proud Southern I am more than happy to be called a Redneck, Hillbilly, or whatever "slur" people come up with.

Also in regards to South hate I will admit we do have a rather bad image fostered from the bigots that ran about in white hoods making us all look like a bunch of blundering fools. However civil war misconceptions don't help as the OP stated.

I'm not American but I have spent time in the South and met some truly warm, kind, cultured and highly civilized people living there. I have also seen people and places that would tend to support the "popular perception" of the South. But guess what...those people and places exist everywhere. I have met ignorant Englishmen, Canadians, French, Germans, Americans from the north and west and the list goes on. There are squalid enclaves inhabited by ignorant people in all of the countries that I have visited throughout the world.

The civilized Southerners that I have been privileged to meet remind me of the best of the British and they hold many of the same values. Not too surprising since many Southerners are of British stock. I admire the culture of the South. There is a warmth and courtesy in that culture that can make strangers feel comfortable and welcome. If that courtesy is returned there can be no better place to spend ones' time. Get over the worst of the past, people. It's long gone. The best survives.

And now southern states are notorious union-busters and "rednecks" are fiercely opposed to regulation of business even when it would help them. Funny how things change over time, isn't it?
