As much as we might be disgruntled with the south, let's not forget some of their great contributions to our society, such as bourbon, moonshine, Southern Comfort, and the Cotton Gin.

Jeremy said:

Sorry. Scratch the Cotton Gin. In my haste to come up with a funny non-alcoholic contribution that still sounded like an alcoholic contribution, I forgot that Eli Whitney was from Massachusetts. I'll replace it with the Dukes of Hazzard, as the entire first season was shot in Georgia before moving to a (Liberal) Hollywood soundstage.

Your writing indicates a limited vocabulary. Time for a little soul searching if you can. If not, give my regards to Satan when you see him. Then again, don't bother.

From the South that God loves.

I'm not sure if you're talking to me, but given common logic, you'd have to be, since Sam (the owner of this site) didn't write the material for this topic.

Despite the fact that my vocabulary most likely far outstretches yours (unless you're Noah Webster VII), I've searched my soul for the past 12 years and here's what I've found. When you and I die, we're going to the same place. A pine box in the ground. Worms think we're mighty tasty. Give my regards to nothingness for eternity! Then again, given the futilty, don't bother.

But you know what? I probably live a more decent, upstanding life than you could ever dream. I don't need the overwhelming fear of hell or the promise of heaven to live a decent, "moral" life. I'm fairly sure my funeral will be full of teary eyed folks, eulogizing my decency, my determination to my principles, my dry wit, and the general love that I have for all people. Except you Bible-thumping southerners. You can all rot in Hell.

I do hope there is some sort of higher power in this universe of ours. I just pray that it's not your version.

the civil war wasn't fought over slavery, that's a very important point to be known. slavery was only half of an issue and not officially until the emancipation proclamation, which was basically to piss off the south. I'm not trying to be rude. So i'm sorry if I have been
