scrambler man good to see another person from alabama, just moved to virginia [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] 3 months ago, i called one of them a a yankee(just in fun) and he swore up and down he was from the south although he was born here.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] they don't know where the south is!!!!!!!

my buddies call me Bama, welcome to the forums

 

Hi Jakey it's great to see another Bama guy on here. Yeah..ya don't have to go too far north to find a Yankee. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'll call just about anyone a yank unless they're from Mississippi or Bama! I love living here and riding all the trails but I'm prolly moving to Concord,NH in a few months myself LOL(damn women!), at least I'll have my Chevy Scrammy and gun collection to keep me Southern. I'll miss Bama but snow riding might be fun hehe. Flew back to NH for a month with her once to see her parents and wow you can really tell how diferent we are. NH should be a lil easier then Virginia hehe they KNOW they are yanks there.

 

Oklahoma is not true "south", but the largest civil war battle West of the Mississippi was fought here...so we are southerners. The term Yankee is kinda derogatory here as it is other southern states. I have 2 friends form up north and when they do something "different", we blame it on where they came from...."Their Yankees". I know it probably is not "politicaly" correct, but thats life. Sorry if I offened anyone , but I am a "Dumb Ole Hick"....and proud of it.

 

I cant belive theres people out there that would get there feelings hurt or get mad at being called a YANK.I know they use that word alot down south.Years ago I went down to Mississippi to see a friend for a few days and got called it alot.No big deal to me.I do know the south better watch it or well go down there and kick *** again...[kidding] Long live the Nouth...

 

damn rite.....i'm a rebel and i'm proud of it...yea i'm mad cause ya'll voted the emancipation proclamation down(which by the way is not what freed the slaves...i have no problem with freedom....but it was a proposed law to send them back to africa if we can't have slaves)...but ole abe said no that we had civilized them and they couldn't survive in the jungle......sure would like to walk him down thru the "hood" now....and it wasn't just blacks....any1 who wasn't of "good" blood may have been a slave...we were outcast from england to begin with! i have some ancestors that were slaves and i'm white as white bread! but i believe if we going to get thru this "they" need to quit pushing kawanza on us(actually an african holiday that originated in the US, go figure) and waving the african flag while they claim to be "american"....get off their high horse, we didn't go steal them...their own people was selling them to use...and if u were white didn't have money and lived in america you were put to work or sum1 claimed they owned you for a bill you owed....alot has changed since then and we all need to learn to get along...yanks, rebs, and whoever else calls them selfes american......i say if they don't believe in god MAKE them leave...cause that is what it is all about folks...its why we came here to seek protection from persicution for our religous beliefs, but that does not give people the rite to not believe...our country was based upon morals and god....but now neither play much of a role outside of our churches...and i think we need to take america back from the beuracrates(politics)...put a working man in office....every 1 of our elected officials were born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth...and they run this country for the protection and gain of themselves....they don't care about us..unless u didn't pay your taxes...

 

Well i agree with some stuff you say, however alot i dont. Sure, i believe in God, but i dont think somone shouldnt be allowed to live in mine or your country because they dont. thats part of being free, being able to belive in whatever religion or beliefs you want (within reason). Im not gonna say so and so is wrong because they dont beleive in God. I cant and shouldnt force my beliefs on anyone. And no one should be able to force they'res on me. Just the way i feel.

 

during the salem witch trials did you here of schools gett'n shot up or snipers out to shoot any1? define "within reason"? you didn't hear all the evil going on for a reason...our country was based on god and freedom of believe...but i don't care who's toes i step on....stuff we let go today is outragous....i mean howard stern got kicked off the radio for the things he did...now he has a tv show....its gett'n worse and we better do something about it

 

Within reason would be somthing like that. If somones religion says they have to murder, steal, or harm another person, then yeah..no place for that..but joe blow down the road who prays to budda quietly to himself shouldnt be forced to beleive in our god, only because WE beleive in them.

I agree..there is ALOT of crap going on today..theres been alot of crap going on and they'll always will be alot of crap. Is how we deal with it that counts.

 

budda works for me....not say'n they have to believe in my god ,but believe in A god...one that teaches morals and right from from wrong, get along with thy neighbor etc. etc.

Yeah, but i cant say that either. My brother for example. He grew up going to church, sunday school..the whole 9 yards. he doesnt currently beleive in god. Hes not a bad a$$, never owned a gun, never been arrested, hes a good kid. However he chooses not to beleive in god. I dont think he should be discriminated agaisnt because of it. I know a few people that have never gone to church or anything, they dont beleive and they're nto criminals. I dont think religion is the answer to everything, as i know of a few people who go to church on sunday, but will lie and steal from you on monday!

Judge the person based on the person, not on their beleifs..
