Robert Byrd's former compatriot was found guilty of manslaughter....

How would it look as a tag-line if people started '(American By Birth, New Yorker By The Grace Of God , or, Chicagoan by the grace of God, Northerner, Rhode Islander, Jersey City by the grace of God -etc, etc. ?

You never see those examples. It looks rather silly. correct

How come some 'Southerners' must attempt to separate themselves from the rest of the nation?

How about: Oklahoma is OK! :)

Kind of an ugly thread, defending this guy, I thought I'd change the subject

What you said. EOM.

[M. Espinola]

"How about: Oklahoma is OK! :)"

Remind me to take my next vacation in that vacation wonderland :)

I'll gas up the Packard!

Personally, I think it would be okay. If you're proud of what state or region you're from, go for it. It wouldn't irritate me, and I wouldn't have a problem with it.

The examples you provided would only look silly because they would be devoid of any originality, but who cares it only a tag line.

The insinuation of your last question is far more insightful and telling of yourself than I think you realized. The question is rhetorical and isn't deserving of an answer.

"Personally, I think it would be okay. If you're proud of what state or region you're from, go for it. It wouldn't irritate me, and I wouldn't have a problem with it."

Now that you mention it, some people all over the nation do through their cars license plate. The ones which cost a little more.

"The insinuation of your last question is far more insightful and telling of yourself than I think you realized. The question is rhetorical and isn't deserving of an answer.

What insinuation? It's true so you will not respond - That's rather silly, since you made the point in your own tag-line :)

Here it is again: 'How come [some] 'Southerners' must attempt to separate themselves from the rest of the nation?' Note I stated 'some', not all.

Unbelievable. You ask a question as if you don't have a clue and follow up with a rhetorical statement as to the truth of the question and my opinion it didn't deserve a response. If you didn't know and intend the insinuation how could you possibly speak to its truth.

There isn't a "point" in my tagline, other than... I do thank God everyday for giving me the parents I have and where I'm from. I love the South better than any other region in this great country, but admittedly I'm bias because it's where I was born and raised. I love the South "best", not that I think it's "better" ... understand the difference?

Here it is again: 'How come [some] 'Southerners' must attempt to separate themselves from the rest of the nation?' Note I stated 'some', not all.

I assume your talking about some sort of separatist movement. The question is rhetorical because:

1. Most separatist groups are racist groups. The answer is obvious.

2. Separatist/Supremacist groups aren't only in the South and aren't exclusively limited to the white race.

3. I'm not a member. Why ask me?

[M. Espinola]

This whole thing is taken on overtones of these two :)

This debate will never end thus hop over to a thread I posted on the oil situation. We need more imput.
