Just an observation. Threads that have North vs South content usually have a long list of comments. I always read them all and the tone rarely varies. In general, from both geographic areas, the gist is "you dont like us, we dont like you". Not important perhaps but to me, interesting.
I actually like Southerners and I like Yankees too. I am proud to say that I have friends in both camps. I don't care where someone is from. I do care about what kind of person they really are.
People who want to divide us by region, race, religion etc. are all a**holes in my book. Those that hate us don't differentiate between Southerner or Yankee, or black, white or red. They hate us because we're Americans.
I might be naive but I believe that Americans look out for one another and stick together. We might disagree on some things but when the stuff hits the fan, we don't leave our fellow Americans behind.
