As for my education i hold a association in Religious and philosophy. I thank skool is for learning not financial gain....trade school is fo day shytz. My plain is to go to seminars and hold a doctorate in dis

As for trade schooling im actually looking into being a mechanic....so feel free to hate and call me stupid ass lying faggot...im free and i love doing me

Hope this helps you zip my friend

Here's my take on it. There's a lot of that inbreeding in the south. Cousins marring cousins. Brothers marrying sisters. Fathers marrying daughters. If y'all paid attention in high school biology and remember the experiments with pea plants by that Austrian monk Gregor Mendel, you know about dominant and recessive genes. Long story short, all that inbreeding causes what they used to call "feeble mindedness". In other words, 'think' becomes 'thank'.

Good thread my friend...most people believe southern people are stupid, slow, simple. It simply ant true...those kinds of folk are all over the world.....I'm actually very progressive in my thoughts and a free spirit.....

Also i hold tight to my heritage like i believe we all should be prideful of or ancestry.

Fuck racism though

God made us all and loves us all

Gods grace even reaches the most sinful and unrepentant

Gods grace and salvation is for all

Christ died for all even the unbeliever

Lol mo head you faggot you...lol

I also dont hate gays...i have family and close friends that are gay....and i do have some bi sexual tendencies...but not a lot....just a little....chicks with dicks...its all im staying

Good question Steve229 my man...

Why do I say "WEEE-YAWWW!!!"?

Well, all good TV heroes have a catch phrase. Robin in the old school Batman show had "Holy XXXX, Batman". "Bones" McCoy had "damnit Jim" an "I'm a Doctor, not a XXXX". Hannibal Smith had "I love it when a plan comes together". The teenage mutant ninja turtles had "Cowabunga" (as did Bart Simpson). And, finally, there is the least believable character of all...Steve Urkel. Yep, ol' Mr. "did I do that?" himself had a catchphrase.

So, I wanted something that expressed glee. I also figured that "YEE-HAW!!!" would be trite. But mules probably heard cowboys and cowgirls say "YEE-HAW!!!" all of the time. I also reasoned that mules might dig getting blowjobs and asked myself "what sound would a mule getting a good BJ from a HAWT cowgirl make?"

"WEEE-YAWWW!!!" came to mind.

^^^ Shorter version of the above. "WEEE-YAWWW!!!!" makes me laugh. The idea that it sounded a bit like a cartoon donkey or mule did occur to me though.

Lol goddamn right zip babby

@motorhead -- I'm sure you're just making fun of South because...well, because it is funny to do so. And easy.

However, don't forget that the Raleigh-Durham area is an innovation hub. Probably one of the biggest concentrations of STEM PhDs in the world. And old Savannah has a beautiful historic district. And Flannery O'Connor was no inbred moron. And don't forget that Thomas Jefferson was a Virginian. And he was no dummy...as JFK said at a state dinner honoring American Nobel Laureates...

"I think that this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Of course, there is also Mississippi, and that place is just fucked up. And what to say about FloriDUH?

Joking aside, like everywhere, the South has a lot of coo-el stuff and great people. Even ol' Juice's neck of the woods (assuming the reports of his location are true) has a vibrant arts scene. And there is this wonderful BBQ joint on the north edge of town. Only BBQ place I've been where the waiter was a hippy. And the Tupelo Honey Cafe downtown..,any place called THC is alright by me! Seriously though, Asheville has great food and great art -- especially if you are into wonderful folk art.

And Juice dude... You know you make us laugh here on TUSCL and we love you like a brother for that. Well, some of us do. Others think you're a first class asshole. That hate you enough that they won't even jokingly say "asswhole".

But dude, you hurt this poor girl enough that she is telling us about your jizz rag. How much do you have to hurt somebody for them to publicly share your masturbatory habits?

I'm serious about this. My advice, for what it is worth, is to reach out to her and apologize and try to give her and her son a little closure. You don't want somebody you loved to hate you, do you? That is bad for the soul.

#dotherightthingjuice

motor,

If a husband and wife divorce in the south, are they still brother and sister?

zip,

"And what to say about FloriDUH?"

Of course you know most of those in The Sunshine State come from yankee towns.

You know, I was 23 before I knew Damn Yankee was two words. :)

I love you zip

@Motor-The English use to shop their convicts to the south before they decided to turn Australia into a penal colony.

^^^ Fair enough Clubber. I actually love Florida, especially North Florida, which is the South. I've never been further south than Sarasota though. But I've heard that the further south you go in Florida, the further North you actually go.

And where did we get Gatorade from? Talk about innovation...

Zip,

You know I'm just messin' with Southerners:)

And after all, I think Southern women are the prettiest of them all. I actually learned this on an ESPN 30 for 30. After Mississippi won back to back Miss America titles in 1959 and 1960, scores of families from all over the US who had beautiful young daughters packed up and moved to Mississippi. So beauty is in the gene pool of the south. So it's just not opinion, there's some science behind it.

zip,

That is very true, heading south, hit the state line leaving GA and you start going north again. :)

I heard that in the south, if a guy doesn't fuck his sister, he's considered gay......not that there's anything wrong with that

Well labeling people as being from the South or wherever can get silly if you consider everyone in the US is originally from somewhere else or their distant ancestors were. Even the native American Indians supposedly migrated here from Asia.

Anyway the oppressive heat here can apparently fry the brains of any northern Yankee in seconds flat. I say this because I had some relatives from Ohio visit. To save gas they drove to South Carolina with their windows down the whole way. It s hot as hell here. At 80 mph, I seriously doubt they saved barely any gas and they were all sweaty. Now I could drive the speed limit with the windows up and air conditioning on and save more gas then they did. Apparently their brains got fried by the heat.

I heard a dancer visiting Greenville tell me that there might be something in the water. I don't think it's in the water. Unless that news story I heard several years ago about uranium in the drinking water was more serious than they suggested. So far I haven't been glowing in the dark. Except one night at a rock concert but that was because someone spilled some glow stick fluid on me and my arm glowed for the next few hours. I do not believe that has anything to do with being exposed to rain falling from a cloud enshrouded UFO being escorted by black helicopters but who knows?

I'm born and bred New England Yankee. A WASP with ancestors from Plymouth in the 1620's. For many years I held thoughts of superiority over the educational system in the south. Over the last 20 years I've been quite impressed with some of the people and innovation taking place in many southern states. As has been stated well above, the south doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity. There's plenty all across our country. Many moons ago I taught English in a trade school and while my students became better readers and writers, I learned a ton from them. I have so much respect for a good mechanic: it does require higher order thinking skills to be a good mechanic. Plumbers earn their money and have to be smart ( they really just have to know 2 things: shit don't float uphill & pay days on Thursday). The problem is that no matter what line of work you're in you need to be able to communicate, to calculate, to work well with others, and to think logically. Studying English taught me that language changes, that usage determines correctness,but I still can't stomach THANG.

@Gawker-Shake that thing doesn't have the same ring as shake that thang.

I made the decision yesterday that I wasn't going to get back on here. Jackie (juice) has made no attempt to make things right with me. I even tried to call him yesterday. He called me back and when I answered he hung up. He wouldn't even text me. I just have to accept that he is a coward that never truly loved me and when he got all he could get out of me he vanished. @zipman thank you for your comment and your attempt to talk him into doing the right thing. Yes, he did hurt me beyond belief, but it wouldn't have hurt so much if I didn't love him so damn much. This whole board can know that I never loved a man the way I loved him. I never gave so much of myself to another human being. He was it for me. I would have loved him forever even if we never got married and lived together as husband and wife. In my eye's, he was greatest man ever and that was enough. I just wanted to call him my husband and have that bond. But....it was all just his manipulation that made me love him the way I did. I have to get over that. There is nothing special that sets him apart from other men like I thought there was. He likes to think he's a "free spirit" and is full of God's love, but NO LOVE not even God's can hurt you the way his does.....

Responses to the original poster's well-intended question have somehow degenerated into a discussion of the South's alleged lack of culture and alleged predilection for incest.

In response to zipman's question: I'm aware that Duke69 is one of many aliases for the ludicrous juicebox69. It's just that I have an aversion to white people talking, writing, and acting like black people from the ghetto, and the whole thing/thang and think/thank replacement really sets me off (obviously). So recently when I encounter such ridiculousness on this board, I add the offender to my ever-growing ignore list -- and tell everyone. Yes, I do find "thang" intrinsically offensive, but more generally I agree that "all Juicebots --> ignore list".

Good question!

By the way, why is it OK to hate Southerners? As a born and bred Midwesterner myself, my favorite Americans are (1) my fellow Midwesterners and (2) Southerners. Of course some of you effete coastal snobs would probably say that Indiana is just far northern Alabama -- and you wouldn't be completely wrong :)

shark,

Most of us originated in the USA. Therefore, I consider all those Native Americans. The others you reference are American Indians.

na·tive adjective \ˈnā-tiv
: born in a particular place

—used to refer to the place where a person was born and raised

End of story!

Thanks for the answer MrDeuce. I was just curious about the issue. I mostly read and post here for some laughs, but it is interesting to hear why people post specific things.

I actually enjoyed the digression. Having lived in a variety of places I feel there is good and bad and high class and low class everywhere. Often the stereotypes (both good and bad) have a little basis in truth. But often I find the ways that people conform to those sterotypes a bit charming. I sometimes wished that I travelled more. Not fly to place X and do things, either for work or pleasure, but really travelled. Take time to drive some of the old roads (pre-interstate highway system) and just met folks and ate in little diners and stuff (and checked out the strip clubs, of course).

Sometimes I find it amusing when someone tries to apply a stereotype to people in the south. In a large setting the question was asked how many people were born in another state. About 68% of the people were born somewhere else. Most were from the US though. People keep moving all over the states. Except for the summer heat and humidity, I like the weather better in the South. It gets hot up north too on occassion. I like the winters here a whole lot better than in Ohio or Wisconsin.
