When can I call myself a Southerner?

And why do you think people in the south only do this?

Most people tend to greet people they know when they see them. It's hardly something exclusive to the south...

No is wasn't. Just because it was in the northern half (just barely, BTW) doesn't mean it was grouped with the northern states.

Yes, yes it was . New Jersey has always been considered a northern state. No one, in their right mind can say that Philly was a southern city.

Maybe Apocolypse is from a less freindly place in the South. People here are way friendlier than he describes. I get all kinds of folks I don't know saying hi to me and talking to me and calling police . . . er, scratch that last part.

It depends on the city you live in.

It may seem like a far more friendly environment when the town has 1000 people and everyone knows everyone I guess.

But from my visits to Texas especially I've found myself scared by most people. They don't seem too friendly, and nobody said hi to me unless they want me to buy something.

It is that we do it all the time.

Just because you don't call something northern doesn't make is souther. Look at Middle Earth.

I guess you guys don't even know it yourselves so I'll quit asking

It isn't just greeting. It is whenever we see them. Unless of course there is some really akward relationship created by some girl cursing in front of some pansy guy (who probably came from the north or midwest).

The pansy guy would be a Southerner .

We Northerners don't mind when girls curse. In fact, we welcome it. People who would awkward when a woman curses is a moron and probably a misogynist.

Just because you say something isn't northern, doesn't mean that you are right .

New Jersey has always been a northern state. Case Closed.

He's trying to draw a distinction between the Mid-Atlantic states and New England. I seem to vaguely remember my colonial history teacher in jr high school saying something similar.

Umm, right, and that is why you can handle trucks and other largre vehicles so well.

If you grouped NJ with the northern states on the last AP US History exam, you'd get points off.

I know he is... but New England AND Mid Atlantic are Northern states.

I don't care IF you can handle a truck well. If you become flustered because a woman has used profanity, then you are a pansy.

Good for them. I'm glad I took the test 4 years ago and got a 5 out of 5 .

Middle states are nothing. There are only Northern and Southern states. There is no Middle culture.

[chequita guevara]

You two need to stop flinging pansy around. It's a homophobic insult.

Bah! Even more points off.
