  • So you love America?

    This is funny (sad, but funny). I think it describes at least half of the people I've ever met.

    the rebel flag thing is pretty funny. my theory is that they are kinda like the mall-rat goth kids. they don't really have a clue, they just want to get attention, seem rebellious, and be bad-asses.

        I agree. Many people have no clue what that flag stood for.

          Yea I got into a good debate about this. I saw a rebel flag my buddy put on FB that "heritage not hate". I'm like yea, a flag that represents a government set up in 1861 by 11 slave states that declared their succesion from the US. So let me break that down. A flag that represents a 11 SLAVE states that disnt want to be part of AMERICA! That's a heritage id sure be proud of. Rednecks crack me up. Haha!

            in all seriousness, i can understand being proud of some aspects of southern culture. There is a certain toughness, DIY ethic, self-reliance, love of rural areas and outdoor living, skills of hunting, fishing, use of firearms, etc. these are not bad values, and i can definitely understand being proud of those in comparison with a more metrosexual urban/cosmopolitan outlook.

            HOWEVER, mullets, modern nashville pop-country, domestic light beer, and excessive douchebaggery-asshole-bigotry would not be in that list.

              That flag is used by rednecks up here also, and yes, we do have plenty of them. I don't know what they feel it means to them though.

                I'd rather see someone flying a flag with the Browning logo on it than not know the true history of the south and perpetuating a stereotype of moronity to others.

                  What gets me is the flag most people call the "rebel flag", is the Confederate battle flag. I have a Confederate flag on the front of my truck and most people don't know what it is.

                      No, the Stars and Bars flag. Looks like an old American flag.

                        I had a buddy who's grandparents have a house in Maine. from their flagpole they often fly the confederate flag. The grounds where the place is was once the grounds of a confederate base. They aren't racist and in terms of Mainerds, they are surprisingly not hick like.

                          Larry the Cable Guy is not hick like by Maine standards. It's a New England thing, you wouldn't understand!

                            Oh, I understand. I am a Mass-hole. Lived in New England for most of my life. Although I have never lived in Maine, it is the only place I truly feel at home. Also, Larry the Cable Guy isn't a hick at all. It is all just an act. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/553390/ Dan Whitney, not that funny.

                              Well God bless you. It's very pretty there, but you got the last laugh ending up in California. At least you get warm weather to make up for being crowded. I've had my fill of the routine up here, nothing ever changes as you are well aware.
