post reasons the south (us) is better

[Melufa]

Pfft.

-Taco Trucks

THIS MEANS WAR!

uh, chigga, I don't know what you talkin' about, but in Rock City alone we got at least 10 taco trucks, not to mention too many taquerias to count and even more tex-mex joints

[Melufa]

man, Ilya, I wish chicken and waffles were Southern, but we have to face the truf, some mulatto wanna be iron chef in Harlem put the two together when he was high one night

and what else do you disagree on? you sayin' Whattaburger is good? you sayin' Chik-Fil-A doesn't have hot Christian white teens?

Panhandle is deep south, son.

i don't agree with most of your post, melufa, but i won't address any of it except chicken and waffles definitely started in the south

i just couldn't let that one slide

not in a post-9/11 world

N***a rhymes with chigga (which is another thing you find in the south, those little fuckers can eat your legs UP and sometimes they crawl in your underwear band and you got to scratch the hell out of them nuts and people look at you like you got an STD), first off, chicken and waffles ain't southern, I'm pretty sure that started in NYC.

Second, Whataburger is where retarded, cracked up black people go to eat. I'm pretty sure they fart on your food there.

Replace chicken and waffles with just plain fried chicken ( a class on its own from other fried food) and replace Whataburger with Chik-Fil-A. Might not only be in the South now, but they're closed on Sundays and that's pretty southern. Plus they only hire hot Christian white girls that love to tell you about their pleasure and they like it when you sing to them in the drive thru especially if you're paying with debit, considering that takes a little while and they like to pretend that they're always nice.

Oh, and Florida ain't the South unless you live in the panhandle, which is okay, because one time, when I was little, I pulled the fire alarm at the Pensecola Air Base and everyone had to evacuate. THEN I GOT STUNG BY A JELLYFISH.

bio's list is pretty spot on, though i would probably move some of the cons to the pros

[kthx]

yeah Austin is more like Texas's New York.

Houston is the real south.

[Melufa]

Having done a road trip to Austin and the states inbetween recently, here is what I can gather. This is coming from a northerner city boy.

- People in the south have a much slower pace of life. Literally people talk slower, walk slower, drive slower, etc. I found this to be generally theraputic that I don't have to live everything like it's a new york minute.

- People are more religious, and Christians are very open about being Christians. Conversations start for no reason and people talk at the grocery store while waiting in line. On the way back to DC, we stopped at alabama and an older lady started talking to me at the checkout, when she found out we were visitors she basically walked us through all the good bbq places to eat in birmingham. Awesome.

- Communities are closer and people say hi when you walk by them. Interestingly here in DC I live in a highrise with lots of people who just ignore each other.

- Cheaper homes. My friend in Austin bought a 4-bedroom house (it's pretty ballin) for less than 150k.

- Food is generally more "wholesome" and tastier because of that. Don't think people go paleo in the south.



Some things I DIDN'T care for:

- Low salaries (but hey lower cost of living.) Might also be because theres more blue collar vs. white collar.

- Its hot all the time.

- Why do people wear boots to work under their suit pants?

- Confederate flags/hillbillies (they DO exist)

- Fat chicks.

- Megachurches that preach the prosperity gospel.

- Saw like 5 chinese people down there.

oh, and sorry, man, Austin ain't the south

[Melufa]

in the South it is cooler to drive a pick-up truck than a Subaru

don't get me wrong, Soobies are okay and all

plus black people in pickup trucks are funny

Vaped and I are lucky enough to live in the state (or maybe city? idk) with the fewest fat people, so I'm going to have to disagree with you again.

[Squeezer]

Fine. The South is great. Yipee.

Fuck off and let me enjoy the rain.
