Reckon ya'll need tuh apologize for slav'ry too sir/ma'am.

[Aurelius]

I never said ther were good Yankees.

[arm958]

Most of the shops are down here, the shells are built down here, the engines are built down here

So, you build a mean stock car. You still don't know how to drive on snow and ice :)

[HELLRAISER II]

Now you have conversed enough with me to know that i'm not slamming Northernors simply for being up North. But I will try to answer that question without pissing anybody off. The Damn Yankees as I refer to them are ones that come down South and bitch & moan constantly about how they do it up North. No matter what we do they constantly bitch & complain about everything even when theres not a problem, you know the same types as the ones ya'll call Ignorant Red Necks. It's all about perception Bubba.

[Cyber Liberty]

Well, step up. I'm right here for ya.

[Gaston]

This yankee here is offering full apology for my ancestors horrible acts of bringing electricty, running water and indoor plumbing, and pavement for your roads.

Sir John Crapper of England is credited for the design and implementation of modern indoor plumbing. Restrooms/ Bathrooms are still referred to as "The John" or "The Crapper."

The first road use of asphalt occurred in 1824, when asphalt blocks were placed on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. North Carolina was the first state to connect all county seats with paved roads (in 1926) and by the mid 1930's became the first state in which all cities of more than 500 people were connected by paved roads. Then known as the good roads state.

1879 First commercial power station opens in San Francisco, uses Brush generator and arc lights.

And don't forget. NASCAR, football, and Basketball all come from the NORTH!

Alright, NASCAR didnt, but the cars did.

INVENTED up North. PERFECTED down South.

As far as fresh air goes, why do I keep hearing ozone and health alerts concerning the air here in Raleigh?

That's a good question PL.
I get sick of hearing them... sounds like L.A. to me!

I would guess it's because Raleigh's air quality has been deemed unhealthy by the EPA.
Weren't they requiring oxygenated fuel in the Triangle fairly recently?

[Phantom Lord]

Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc... Yankee companies.

And I know that the cars are built where the racing team lives. But that wasnt the case way back in the beginning. took factory equipment and altered it here and there.

The only thing stock on race cars today is the name of the manufacturer.

And I dont watch nor care about auto racing (though i do like NHRA drag racing). So i have no idea what happened at the race this weekend. But I suspect that many viewers were hoping for more accidents. Why else watch?

[dighton]

Let's not forget all the recent immigrants and refugees from the Nazis that designed and developed the bomb.

And with one or two exceptions, they were from NORTHERN Europe.

;-)

[Phantom Lord]

I am very surprised to find out that being born in NY doesnt make me a yankee.

What say you southerners?

[Phantom Lord]

And get back to me when they join the rest of society and learn how to make a right hand turn.

I know, there are some road courses. Just busting yer balls.

[StoneColdGOP]

I like being able to SEE the air I breathe, thank you very much!

How else can you know what's going into your lungs? Clean, fresh oxygen? Bah!

[billbears]

Well you lived down here for awhile and I guess you just grandfathered in. Second, NYC considered seceding with the South. That's my reasoning. And you like BBQ so you can't be half bad

[E Rocc]

I occasionally get some rather rude e-mail from those with a deep-rooted Yankee mentality in regard to my little web site.

Hmmm....I wonder why? >:)=

[Ragin1]

No need for worry Aurelius, they are just angry because there is no link to the new improved edited/moderated FreeRepublic, at the Patriotist site. Thanks for the link.

[HELLRAISER II]

While I am definately a NASCAR fan, I to enjoy NHRA drag racing. I especially have gotten into the import 4-6 cylinder racing, some of those 4 cylinders are pushing 600-800 HP with Turbo's & NOS.

[Lee'sGhost]

AAaahhhhhmmmmm. You know, PL, given you're resentment for being sterotyped by Southerners I'm a bit surprised by you're full-flegged immersion into the same waters.

[Constitution Day]

Clean, fresh oxygen? Bah!

LOL. It is highly overrated, isn't it?

[E Rocc]

And we dont need to get into how the old south felt about Jews.

Actually that's one thing they weren't too bad about. Case in point: Judah Benjamin.

-Eric

I'll die happy knowing that the Yankees will rot in hell.

Well, this "Yankee" won't. I got the Blood, you see.

Why such the contentious attitude? What's that really worth and what does it solve? Also, if you'll be happy that the Yankees "will rot in hell," then why would you want an apology now?

That's circular reasoning.
