Yeah, they (the rural folk in AL and GA) speak English as good as a 90 year old knows how to drive. Not very well, I'm afraid.

I love how low-rent yokels like to think they are "supeeryur" to both yankees and immigrants. Personally, I never understood why folks come to this country from China, Russia, India, Cuba and Poland and start successful businesses and send their kids to college, while the brain-dead hicks still sit around getting fat and looking forward to the next tractor pull or a new Mega Wal Mart.

This is NOT true, btw, of all southerners or rural folk, just a class of people that I have dealt with while traveling the highways and byways of this great nation of ours. Lets not start pumping our chests about the superiority of our respective regions and how inferior "furners and bayners" are without acknowledging the fact that we have problems with some of our own people.

Actually it is usually Yankees who come down south and act superior.

I tell them that if they don't like Southerns then "move your ass back up north then"

Your whole attitude just screams "Elitist". I'm sure that the most of the country can't measure up to your high standards of education and behavior.

Perhaps you should move to France where you will be surrounded by those of equal stature.
