    North - South, East - West, Swedish-speakers vs. Finnish-speakers, Helsinki vs. rest of Finland, Savo vs. Karjala vs. Pohjanmaa vs. Häme vs. Lappi vs. coast areas vs...

    Not to forget Turku vs. Tampere.

S. presidency

      Yeah, on one side there's me and on the other side the rest of the population.

        It doesn't really happen in the west. From Gloucester to Penzance, over as far as Swindon, there's no real enmity between the towns. A spot of rivalry between Plymouth and Bristol in football, but nothing compared to the City/Gas divide.

            We all loathe each other equally.

            Except for Newfoundland. Everybody just sort of pities them.

                  Yes. But at the same time, all of Canada hates Alberta, and vice versa. etc.

                    Yes, but the same is true of Alberta, Ontario, etc.

                          Boddington, did you ever look at the electoral map that visualized the results of the Gore and Bush elections?

                          The South solidly voted for baby Bush.



                          Anyway, most definitely yes, to some extent, there is still a regional split here in the United States. White Southerners still think they should be proud that their ancestors tried to destroy our nation and rip it apart.

                          Of course, our Yankee ancestors initially used emancipation of slaves as a political tool in foreign relations, not out of goodwill towards blacks.

                          Neither side can claim to be virtuous, since the North used abolition as a higher-moral sounding justification to destroy the Confederacy. However, I'm thankful the Confederacy lost the Civil War.

                          The South used states' rights as a higher-moral sounding justification to preserve white supremacy and slavery.
                          A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                            america is a slow motion race riot.

                              or just a riot in general...
                              To us, it is the BEAST.

                                Just had Shaun Ryder in the Union. A lot of Southerners thought it'd be cool to worship sign him. I just stood there.

                                How southern. How northern.
