But what you have done is made fun of the way that people live and looked down on them.

I haven't even done that. Maybe the problem lies with the premise of the original article that was posted that suggested that southerners are more agggressive and thin-skinned than their northern counterparts.

So you haven?t made fun of people and looked down on them? Try these for a sample:

?I like to work late, and eat late at restaurants that serve a cusine a few notches above Chicken Licken and the Waffle Barn,?

?Some people don?t work 9 to 5 jobs or depend upon ?Wheel of Fortune? for their nightly entertainment.?

?We need plays and museums so that our wives and girlfriends have something to do while were are at Yankee
Stadium, Shea Stadium, Giants Stadium, and the Continental Arena, watching big-time, major league sports,
and I don?t mean the demolition derby and sack racing contests.?

I understand that you like to eat at nice restaurants and do cultural things. It might surprise you to know that I do, also. I?ve eaten at some of the finest restaurants in San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans, etc., and I?ve seen alot of good theater in lots of different cities. But I don?t tell you that and then compare it to what others like to do in a demeaning way. That?s why I say you act like a snob. If it?s not your point to show that you are more cultured, more refined, and therefore, above others, then you might want to find another way to express it.

Anyway, I'm content to let others on this forum decide what they think about this subject. It?s apparent that neither of our opinions will be changed with more of this discussion.

Don't be obtuse. Maybe the problem lies in the fact that your first post on this (good-natured) thread was all condescending and inappropriately contentious. Just like most Yankees.
