I do try and stay informed on the things happening around the world...
This week has been one of the most interesting (make that bizzare)
in several months.

Just a rundown of some of the stories this week:

It explains a lot more of the leftist intolerance I see on this newsgroup,
and others, on a daily basis.

I'm in the southern US and I've been all over this country and Canada, and
I hate to inform you, there are idiots and retards all over everywhere.

The worst hicks I've ever met were from Ohio and the worst racists I ever
met were in Chicago.

I have friends in Ohio ... please don't take this wrong guys ... driving
from NV to NJ, as I've done a bit, Ohio was the most redneck part of the
drive ... by far. Few places come close to Idaho for racists per capita,

One of those stories was about a woman who murdered her baby and ate

Maybe it is just me, but that shit bothers me.

But hey, the mother is from Texas...we all know mothers in texas as
inbred rednecks. It was just a matter of time before they started
eating their babies....

I don't think I really want to associate with people who think like
that.

Sorry, I don't see anything "leftist" about it.
I do see an attitude of regional superiority, but I don't think you can
cast that in terms of a political philosophy. C'mon now Rod, you're
starting to come across as being a bit paranoid. Besides, you know who
I see comments like this from more than anyone else? Texans.

Yes. I was joking. But in my haste to throw out a quick one-liner, I
resorted to an ugly stereotype (something I criticize in others). It
wasn't funny, it was just plain wrong. Thanks for making me aware of
this blunder.

I want to apologize to anyone I've offended.

I really have nothing against the South. Yes, I'm from New York State,
but I have family in Florida and Tennesee. One of my best friends
lived in New Orleans until Katrina destroyed his home. My experience
with Southerners has been great. I can honestly say that I've met more
rednecks here in New York and Northern Pennsylvania.

Once again, I'm sorry.

I apologize for offending you with my thoughtless remark. It was
wrong, and I'll own up to that.

But I'm curious. What "intolerant liberal bullshit" are you talking
about? I've said negative things about hate groups and white
supremecists, and publically supported The Southern Poverty Law
Center. If that's what you're talking about, I can't apologize for
that. I strongly believe in civil rights - it's not a North vs. South
issue, but a basic human one.

Or are you talking about something else? My criticism of the Bush
administration?

I guess it's the word "intolerant" that gets me. I have friends from
all points in the political spectrum (including a Republican who once
worked for Nelson Rockefeller and is still very active in the party).
I may disagree with a lot of things, but the only people I fail to
tolerate are those who harm or deny the rights of others.

I'm sure you dont, given your own predispositions. Stereotyped bashing on
the south as all ignorant rednecks has long been the hallmark of intolerant
northern liberals. Go over to many political forums and you'll see liberals
from the north or west, endless bashing "the southern red states are all
hicks and retards" thing.

Besides that, Zontar has made intolerant remarks about conservatives in the
past.

I bet 5 bucks neither one of you live south of the mason dixon line. I've
been up north, WAY up north. I'd rather live down here.

shocking.

I never woulda guessed ;-)

whats obvious to me, if I said I was from atlanta, and then made the same
exact comment about New York, its likely both you and RichL would have
jumped on me for being an intolerant redneck.

Apologize all you want, I dont give a shit. All this shows to me, is that
the average liberal, is every bit as intolerant as he/she accuses the
average conservative to be.

I have nothing against Texas but when bookshops don't sell books on
meditation because it 'might offend Christians', or when I get stared at
by the Police in a restaurant for the crime of having long hair
throughout the duration of my meal, or when I get treated like a
criminal in a shop because I have a different accent, I think the people
concerned could try going about life without a stick shoved up their
arse. I was never treated like that in New York, New Jersey or Florida.
I also didn't have coloured people being nasty to me for the crime of
being white.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Texas, but it's not perfect.

including an "explanation" for his behaviour, and you can't be big enough to
accept his apology. If you're really that big, then I don't give a shit

Why have some posters in a.g become so sensitive? This group is in the best

I'll second that. I've lived in Wisconsin all my life, and
the redneck mentality is alive & well here. A cross was
burned on a lawn in Dubuque, Iowa a few years ago.
My only direct experience with the south is a few weeks
in Louisiana (road band). The people I met were 99%
nice. Not real fast-moving, but nice :-)

I totally agree. My high-school girlfriend lived in a trailer park (in
Avon, NY) and was surrounded rednecks... YANKEE rednecks. I even have

There's a lot of self-righteousness and feelings of superiority on
both sides. Maybe I sound a little pompous at times. But again, please
point out a case of me being intolerant. I really need to know.

And I offered my apology sincerely. If you don't accept it, okay. I
won't loose any sleep. I don't have a burning need to be loved by
everyone. But I'm really not here to make enemies, either. All I can

Upstate New York? Oh yeah. Upstate's been hit pretty hard.

It's universal. There's a pretty good nature show called "River
Monsters", and the host deals a lot with fishing guides from
Europe, the Amazon basin and Asia, and they're all essentially
the same as folks you find on lakes in any given Red State.

Never mind the Canadian series "Trailer Park Boys".

Presumably you are very weak and ineffectual in your dealings with "real"

Texas isn't all one thing. I doubt you'd find that in Austin, but

Bullshit. It may be a hallmark of certain intolerant northern *people*
but I don't think it has anything to do with their political philosophy
at all, in fact I know some very conservative Harvard/Yalie types who
act this way.

Snootiness is not confined to a particular political philosophy.

Sure but not everyone who is a liberal engages in that, and not everyone
who engages in that is a liberal.

I don't remember anything like that, and obviously I can't speak for

I thought you knew where I lived; anyway, you lose that particular bet.
(Maryland is south of the mason-dixon line...)

Besides, the three guys who have been my best friends in this area for
the longest time (professional colleagues, in addition to two of them
being pickers, who I've known for close to 30 years) are all
Southerners: one from Tennessee, one from Florida, one from North
Carolina.

Yeah, I get the "Yankee" ribbings from my Southern friends all the time.
I'm usually the only northern-born guy in the group when we get
together, but ya know, you just can't take it seriously. Life's too
short.

Them: "Say oil" (pronounced "ohl")
Me: "Oil" (pronounced "oy-l", two syllables)
Them: <spitting out beer, laughing their asses off>

But I get 'em back, even if I am outnumbered.

Beware of false Logic.

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. We're not ALL rednecks here (although
sadly, they do seem to thrive).

Looks like she's using Optusnet. Same as me. Their news servers lately
have been crap. A few of mine have disappeared into the ether too.
Probably not a bad thing ;-)

Yeah, there are a few guys I like from there, and actually my dad was from
there ... Springfield. We used to go there every summer when I was a kid.
The first jazz guitar player I ever hung out with was from there. It was
just an impression as I made my way through. Actually I was surprised.
