    • they enter a mall and say "howdy" or "hey y'all"?

      • Ecthelion, that is what I've been try to say. The Yanks are impolite.

        Southerners are impolite to people who are not southerners as a rule of thumb.
        We are just impolite to people who act like newbies on forums. If they don't bother to read manuals and try to act superior, they need to be put in the place.

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

        So Southerners also say hi to people they pass in a mall?
        If we recognize them.

        It tends to be "Howdy" or "Hey y'all" rather than "Hi".
        Not even in Texas is "Howdy" common. We like "Hey" over "Hi" though.

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


          Same up in Jersey.

          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.


          UPHOLDING HER PART?! This is why I said chivalry is misogynist. Women have to act all Victorian. **** that!

          South Carolina did.


          Did they? Wow.

              Ehyup. In order to prosecute the war, the Confederacy found it necessary to take on more and more centralized fedneral power. South Carolina proclaimed that this was destroying the whole purpose of the Confederacy, so they ceceded. I'm pretty sure they weren't the only state to cecede from the CSA either.

                Jersey wasn't always a northern state though.

                You are missing the point now. Think about this. Girl curses. Some pansy guy gets offended for some stupid reason. Think of how akward the situation has now become.

                Did they? Wow.
                Of course. I'm pretty sure Arkansas was pretty close to leaving too.

                    Perhaps. There is a difference in general between the US and Canada though, it's not just a stereotype. I've noticed it myself living in California and Calgary. And I lived in a really nice suburb in California.

                      Just northern lack of common sense again.

                      And finally we agree. I really don't like going against you. It makes my sig seem less valid.

                        Well, it's been a northern state since the 1750s.

                        You are missing the point now. Think about this. Girl curses. Some pansy guy gets offended for some stupid reason. Think of how akward the situation has now become.


                        The pansy guy should shove it. Oh no, the girl cursed. Come to the 21st Century and deal.

                        Just northern lack of common sense again.

                          I'd call it a "Middle State," at least until we got Florida.

                          That doesn't change the situation from being akward.

                          It isn't about conforming. It is about not being annoying and being polite to people.

                            The Mid Atlantic is still North.

                            That doesn't change the situation from being akward.


                            Who cares?

                            It isn't about conforming. It is about not being annoying and being polite to people.


                            ie, Conforming .

                                Now stop being silly. You know that New Jersey wasn't a state until 1776.
