Huh. Well, we just send 'em snipe hunting here in Kentucky. They never seem to come back after that.

That's some mighty fine trolling right there.

Top Troll Tip for the day: Try to make the insult into a question!

If (s)he'd said "Southerners are really backwards!!!" as the title, it'd have been slammed so fast as to make the posters head spin... But, make it a question and it becomes a subject for debate.

The only points this guy dropped was because he didn't extend the question into the actual text of the thread and decided to simply go straight for the stereotypes.

Throw in that he didn't actually give an opinion for people to latch onto, but stopped after the initial insult and it's apparent that this one just got lazy.

Not at all.

They are a broad-minded, happy and well-rounded folk who have seemingly limitless appreciation for other viewpoints and walks of life
Southerners understand that theirs isn't the only way and they travel exhaustively solely to experience and grow from other cultures and things.

*Bless*

No...but you wouldn't be able to argue that point very well, considering the latest 'craze' on this forum

I just thought of something.

Are we speaking of south of the Thames, south of Watford Gap, or south of Hadrian's Wall ?

I'd rather be south of Hadrian's Gate. (either of them)


O wait, this isn't the ignorant geography thread. It's getting so hard to keep up with our stupidity!
