Wow, the South sucks...

[LiquidCourage]

The is the kind of stuff that makes me realize that I'm by no means any sort of Republican.

The other day I was in a bar here (Pensacola, FL) and I was talking to this guy. He started telling me about how he did 5 years in jail in Alabama for possession of ONE JOINT. He said that Alabama law says you gotta do 14 years for that one fucking joint, but I'm figuring that 5 years was that one third of a sentence he needed to do to get out early.

14 fucking years! It's like, "Holy shit, did they accidently station me in Saudi Arabia without my knowledge?"

The South does indeed bliz-ow. They really didn't get their asses kicked nearly hard enough in the Civil War.

And I feel for you, LC. I think it gets bumpkin-ish around here sometimes, but you're in the DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP South. Stay strong.

To me the South is anything below the Driscoll Bridge ( Look at the old thread). Anyway, I found this interesting little article.



By Vincent Harris

As a history major in college and a South Jersey resident I feel that is my place to finally calm the confused waters of the Mason Dixon Line/New Jersey controversy. Yes, the Mason Dixon Line is the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland but if you take a ruler to a map at that border you will see that it crosses well into New Jersey, regardless of whether this was the intended purpose of this border.
The whole concept behind the Mason Dixon line revolves around landmarks. Many North Jerseans sometimes consider South Jersey as "The South". This is probably due to the distinct change in landscape that occurs travelling south into Gloucester and Salem Counties and finally into Cumberland and Cape May. This region does indeed look much like the South. It is the region that earned New Jersey the nickname "The Garden State"; known for New Jersey tomatoes.
A landmark that one would consider to be New Jersey's Mason Dixon Line is Oldman's Creek, which is the border between Gloucester and Salem counties. Using the ruler-map method you'll see that the Delaware border (Mason Dixon Line) runs directly into this creek.

Ahh...we're not so bad...

Hell, the South has the 3d largest economy in the world, after the US proper and Japan I believe...I wonder why its still so culturally acceptable to bemoan the "backwardness" of the South....Especially since 90% of our Presidents and outspoken politicians come from there (maybe thats why). But most of America's great soldiers and warriors are southerners too(Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Patton, Washington, Andrew Jackson, Winfield Scott, JEB Stuart etc.) If you've ever been to the Midwest they're a MILLION times more bumpkinish than we are or could ever be...

And besides our chicks are hotter too...spend a few days down at the University of Mississippi...they redshirt Miss Americas down there...

I'm more pissed the State of Minnesota won't give Virginia back the 26th Virginia's battle flag....

Back in my New Jersey days I was the sole defender of the South. However, now that I'm living down here, it's like, "Holy shit, the stereotypes are all true!"
Lesson: Believe ALL stereotypes.

Seriously, I must get 15 country stations now. There's this one song called "Redneck Woman" right now that's one of the big hits. There's this other song where the chorus is, "I like my women trashy". I couldn't believe it. It was so over the top I thought it was a joke.

[Def Dave in SC]

The mason-dixon line is really the official border of pennsylvania and maryland. It was laid out to settle a dispute between the calverts and the penns i believe. The names arent really that important.

Anywho, the real "South", not to be confused with general bumpkinness and hickery, starts anout a third of the way down into VA and extends west until you hit TX.

Now, your basic redneck can be found almost anywhere outside, and even sometimes inside, a major metropolitan area. These people are found in large quantities around the country including the south.

But dont confuse these hicks with a basic southerner. They are two different animals. David Cross has a great bit about this on Shut Up You Fucking Baby.

I'll readily admit there are a lot of northern people that take shots at the south...but there IS a difference between that and the very strange phenomenon of "southern pride" that really identifies the "real" south of the country. And I say it's strange because you really have nothing similar around the country. You have nothing comparable to something like "the South will rise again" in the northern part of the country. Northern people may bash the south, but the general concession is that area ia indeed a part of the country, albeit a somewhat retarded one. To a lot of us, however, it seems a lot of the "real" southern folk honestly think they're something different and seperate, and we're only all Americans together just because we happen to be within the same border.

We've always had a strong sense of regional pride here in the South, and i'm not really sure I can explain it all that well. Maybe it goes back to our ancestry as Scots etc. or maybe its an economic issue, i mean for years we were the agricultural breadbasket of the country, and because the climate wasn't so hot up North it was more inclined for factories. Thats really why we fought the whole war in the first place. The country had grown into basically two separate countries within itself. Go back and read up on the two regions. They had about as much in common as me and former Washington Capital Scott Stevens. The bottom line is, in the South, we were always "Georgians" or "Marylanders" or "Alabamians" or "Tennesseans" before we were "Americans", there was always that tie to your state, your region, your hometown and you never really had that tie to the land up North. Maybe thats because of the lack of farming, or could possibly be from all the immigration from Europe over time.


But to get back to the original original point of this whole thread:



The other day I was in a bar here (Pensacola, FL) and I was talking to this guy. He started telling me about how he did 5 years in jail in Alabama for possession of ONE JOINT. He said that Alabama law says you gotta do 14 years for that one fucking joint, but I'm figuring that 5 years was that one third of a sentence he needed to do to get out early.


Did it ever occur to you this guy you were talking to might be completely and utterly full of shit? I mean, you WERE in a bar in Pensacola....During the Day...

Hey, I'm already well versed on my history. My point is that it's a little ridiculous for that mentality to still exist so strongly TODAY.

All I can say about the South is .....it was kind to my family.....about 10 years ago, I took my wife and 2 children on a driving tour of the South. We went through Vitginia , down to Williamsbutg to do the typical tourist stuff...after that , we went to North Carolina an dSouth Carolina...My wife, Karola. who was German-born, always commented on how kind and considerent everyone was that we met...She learned a great deal of American hospitality from the Southern people...so did I!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!
You mean, they actually sent him to jail for doing something that's against the law?!
Ridiculous! Surely, there must have been some trick. They must have led him to believe that mara juana was legal in Alabama at the time...

I'm as horrified as you are- I can't believe he only had to serve 1/3 of his actual jail sentence.

[Late2party]

All I can say about the South is .....it was kind to my family...

Couplea years ago I broke down on my way back here from a Jaguars game. Turned out to be my 1994 electric fuel pump in a 1987 Jeep upgraded to electronic fuel ignition, and the garage owner and I had a helluva time getting good info in order to replace it.

Said garage owner was the guy I was towed to when my Jeep crapped out on I-95 and I called AAA... the tow driver said "the guy I'm gonna take you to isn't AAA but I think you'll like him"... my heart sank when I saw his "garage" was a storage trailer and a concrete pad covered by a blue tarp strung up in midair.

He took my Jeep and gave me the keys to his beater pickup truck, saying to use it for the night 'cause it was time to quit. So I did, tried to stuff some gas in it for thanks and it was full. Found a motel and crashed.

The guy spent the next two days with me, getting the right fuel pump and finding a replacement for the gas tank skid plate that was rusted out and crumbled when we touched it. Bought me lunch, and remember I was using his truck.

Everything's fixed and we're settling up, me at the ATM because I was out of cash, and I ask about the bill. He says "Whatever you think it's worth". I said "$200?" (I'd paid for the parts myself). He said "I was thinking more like $100" so I split the difference and gave him $150, 'cause I wan't any too flush at the time having bought two nights in a motel right next to the Interstate. I wish I could have given him more.

Moral of the story is, this was Richmond Hill Georgia (yeah, I never heard of it before either). This guy didn't know me from Adam, and he spent two whole days with me, fixing on my car and finding parts for it in a junkyard in Savannah... all on credit as it were; I never had cash until I got to the ATM. I know this isn't in keeping with the point of the topic but as a way to rebut the title I had to say something.

Oh, and if you ever break down in Richmond Hill Georgia ask for the guy that owns "Roadside Assistance".

[Aggie]

Maybe it is a little backwards but it grows on ya.

Although about 10 minutes ago I went outside to have a cig. In the distance I heard a familiar melody.....Dixieland. Someone had that tune as their CAR horn and kept honking it so I had a Texas soundtrack as I sat out on the bench. Nice.

But I'll never forget after I started college down here feeling extremely welcome when I saw this bumper sticker on a truck:
