bobbob1313 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hilarious. One of the things I like about living in the south: drivers are very patient and rarely use their horns. One of the things I hate about living in the south: drivers never use their turn signals! You've obviously never driven in Florida. Nobody is patient and nobody uses their horns. And nobody uses their turn signals. And street signs and lights are just a suggestion to most people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

North Florida, yes. Where are you again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryman 317 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I was born in Florida, grew up in South Carolina, moved to Idaho and then Oregon for several years and thought I would never leave the great Northwest, especially with my wife working on a masters degree in Forest Hydrology. I loved it there, but I always missed Southern people. Oddly, my wife got a job in Atlanta, and I reluctantly came with her. We have been here ten years now and I hate the DAMN traffic and Smog and Heat, but I still love Southern people. You can say what you want about the South being full of racists and rednecks, they are here in abundance, but I haven't lived or visited too many places yet that don't have their share of equivalently misinformed and idiotic people. I call myself Southern, and proudly so, but not because I am loyal to the Confederacy. I love the people and the food (grits, sweet sweet tea, greens and BBQ), I love seeing people say Grace before eating, I love the hospitality and the person in front of me walking through a door looking back to see if someone else is coming. I don't hate the North, some of my best memories are visiting by crazy ass uncles in Maine and making fun of my cousins in Ohio for calling Coke Pop, but I love the South, and if I ever leave again, which is always a possibility, I know I will miss it. I have to stop now, my eyes are blurring from my sentimental tears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cwnorman Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 My Southby Robert St. John Thirty years ago I visited my first cousin in Virginia.

cwnorman Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Mississippi is still burning. Times have changed, but the incendiaries won't quit. Mississippi, statistically, could shame most of our states with its minimal per-capita crime, its cultural maturity and its distinguished alumni. But Mississippi has enough residual gentility of the Old South not to rub our noses in our own comparative inadequacy. The pack-media could not wait to remake the movie MISSISSIPPI BURNING into a TV version called MURDER IN MISSISSIPPI. Thus yet another generation of Americans is being indoctrinated with indelible snapshots which are half a century out of date. The very idea that anybody from New York, D. C., Chicago or L.A. could launch stones from those shabby glass houses toward anybody else is patently absurd. Lilliputians have a psychological need to make everybody else appear small and Mississippi, too nice to fight back, is such an easy target. The International Ballet Competition regularly rotates among four citadels where there is a sufficiency of sophisticated art appreciation: Varna, Bulgaria-Helsinki, Finland - Moscow, USSR and Jackson, Mississippi. Only Mississippi has a satellite art program in which the state Museum of Art sends exhibits around the state for the enjoyment of smaller communities. No state can point to a richer per capita contribution to arts and letters. William Faulkner, Richard Wright, Walker Percy, Ellen Douglas, Willie Morris, Margaret Walker Alexander, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, Thomas Harris (Silence of the Lambs) and John Grisham are Mississippians. As are Leontyne Price, Elvis Presley, Tammy Wynette, B.B. King, Jimmy Rogers, Oprah Winfrey and Jimmy Buffett. Scenery? The Natchez Trace is the second most traveled parkway in our nation. With magnolia and dogwood, stately pines and moss-draped oaks, Mississippi is in bloom all year 'round. And the state stays busy-manufacturing more upholstered furniture than any state...testing space shuttle engines for NASA...building rocket motors. Much of our nation's most monumental medical progress has roots in Mississippi. The first heart transplant in 1964. The first lung transplant in 1963. The most widely used medical textbook in the world, THE TEXTBOOK OF MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY, reprinted in ten languages, was authored by Dr. Arthur Guyton of the University of Mississippi. The Case Method of practicing law, the basis of the United States legal system, was developed at the University of Mississippi. Nationally, educators are chewing their fingernails up past the second knuckle anxious about the disgraceful rate of dropouts and illiterate graduates... In Mississippi, the state government and two philanthropic organizations have teamed up to put a computer-based literacy program in every elementary school in the state. Maybe Mississippi is right to downplay it's opportunities, advantages and refinement. The ill-mannered rest of us,converging, would surely mess it up. ---Paul Harvey I realize this one is specific to MS but that is where I was born and raised and it probably has one of the worse stigmas. Ryman, I couldn't agree more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
