As I was watchin a show called Trading Spouses on fox, some lady from Minnesota was shocked to have to go to Chattanooga, TN. Mainly for the sole reason of her thinking there would be hillbillies and/or rednecks(Not only that, her kids thought the same). Why think of everybody in the south as hillbillies or rednecks? As you can see, I've got the "technology" to use the internet and apparently have enough brains to even use a computer. Even though there are SOME(if any) hillbillies/rednecks out there, its the year 2k5 and not everybody in the south wears short shorts, straw hats, speak in drawl or pronounce their e's differently. We are the same, just in a different state, not a completely different country.

You think you have a problem, I live in Australia. And for the last time, I do NOT own a kangaroo!

I just moved from the South to the North. I will say that the lifestyles are much different. People tend to be more friendlier up here and actually say "Hey."

I heard there was something about ordering iced tea in a restaraunt being different if you are in the north rather than in the south.

I wanted to punch her in the face. Oh well, she got what was coming when she went back home >:) | |

Can you at least send me one? You do know that's illegal, right? =P Customs tends to get slightly ticked off when you stick animals into packing crates and try to pass them off as furniture. Not that I've ever done that or anything... >_> | |
No, in the south, most tea is sweet, and if you don't specify, you get sweet (well, most of the south, not all of it). I the rest of the country, if you don't say anything, you get unsweet.

You can thank comedians like Dave Chappell for promoting stereotypes.

I once told a girl MY AGE that I was speaking to one of my Candian friends...
She responded, "Oh my gosh! Does he live in an igloo...?" I looked at her blankly then slowly walked away embarrassed. When I told my Canadian friend over the phone he was pretty frustrated. | |
Well, in the South, Rednecks tend to stand out alot more with thier rebel and confederate flags, cow boy hats, snake skin boots, and bad habits of giving a cold stare to black people. Who would you glance at first, the funny looking redneck, or the typical citizen? :)
