When can I call myself a Southerner?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Your reason is part of that.

Yes, and I also think that reason is silly .

Nothing is wrong with a collar up, it is just about the affect it has on people. I have long sideburns too. This isn't about being a divider, but more of keeping to yourself.

There is nothing wrong with keeping to yourself. But, you know most people that I see wearing caps are the most social ones (they are usually drunk, but hey ).

There were ways to get rid of kings, or at least making the best out of a bad situation. Some things they didn't view as necessarily bad though. And we are talking about Southern chivalry. We would have kicked Davis if the war lasted a little longer.

Yes, through an election, the way it is supposed to be done. You wouldn't have chopped off his head.

And how would kings and knights be related to the American south?

Unbelievable how this is a reply t oa thread with the title "When can I call myself a Southerner"

We are talking about Chivarly. It started with me saying how we Southerns are far more likely to say "hey" to you while passing by. It is all related.

Yes, and I also think that reason is silly.

It doesn't matter what you think. People react to the words that way and you can't really change that. You must be polite.

I have no problem with this. Like I mentioned early, few people know the real me. I'm just stating how people react.

An election would not have worked. The South would have been much to cut off. He probably would be sent off somewhere while some form of congress took tempory control.

I don't say hey in big cities to everyone, but in a wood you can say good afternoon to anyone you meet.

Same for mountain paths, elevators in houses, stairs in houses, local offices, school teachers (even though many of them never reply ) etc.

Knights, however, don't say hey. They take their sword and beehad you. At least they do in some RPGs.

It's not about saying hey to everyone, just people you recognize.

[Ecthy]

Well, do Northerners not say hey to their friends when they meet them?

I must be polite to those I don't know. But if the 'lady' is a good friend, why watch your mouth around her, if she says the same?

Would Texas have secceded from the CSA?

Yep, we do.

[Ecthy]

so what are you guys talking about then?

if all of them say hey to their friends, then what's the matter?

[chequita guevara]

People here say hello to just about everyone they pass, regardless of whether or no they know the person.

It is not just meeting them, but passing people by in hallways.

Well, if she says the same then she is not upholding her part and you can do whatever the heck you want to. It is never polite to be the first to curse unless you have good reason to.

There was serious talk about it.

[Ecthy]

that's what I was talking about, and that was what y earlier post was about, but apparently someone had to correct me and narrow it down to people you recognise.

So southerners are like Europeans. Screw the impolite yanks.

[Asher]

Southerners are impolite to people who are not southerners as a rule of thumb.

ie: immigrants, homosexuals, what have you

For the true polite nation you must be in Canada. Everyone knows that.

South Carolina did.

So Southerners also say hi to people they pass in a mall?
