Here's what's wrong with you if you are a southerner

[2dogs]

Thank God we had the left wing nuts at Berkeley to study and explain the mental deficiency in conservatives. Now we have an explaination for southerners.

Coming soon- what's wrong with Christians, libertarians, heterosexuals, white males. We need to study all miscreants and eliminate them...........

Southerners Know How to React

Watch out who you call a nasty name - he might be a Southerner, and y'all will be in a heap o' trouble.

Southerners, it seems, are brimming over with cortisone and testosterone, and they tend to be quick on the trigger. That's according to eggheads at the University of Michigan, where shrinks wandered down corridors bumping into students and calling them names.

Students from the South reacted far more violently and aggressively than those from the North, and "in tests regularly suggested more belligerent solutions to problems," writes Britain's Spectator magazine.

At the root of it all is the nearly vanished concept of honor, which appears to be thriving south of the Mason-Dixon line.

The Michigan experiments demonstrated that Southerners "retain two vital aspects of the old honour system: a high degree of sensitivity to insults and a tendency to respond with violence and aggression," according to Spectator.

That sounds reasonable - except how does it explain Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Edwards and Jimmy Carter?

"in tests regularly suggested more belligerent solutions to problems,"

P.S.

I think this means they reacted as normal human beings as opposed to brainwashed, de-sexed, leftist stinking automotons.

But I could be wrong.

"Bang Bang Bang...stop you Berkley liberal or I'll shoot". Its in the AR state reg's I swear

Klinton...maybe Rhodes...no wait, Kris Kristoferson is a Rhodes scholar too.
Klinton is just wired wrong. Criminals are wired wrong...I may be onto something here folks...

Ain't that the truth?

Yep, 2 dogs, you could be wrong. But you ain't!


Once upon a time I lived in L.A. and feared the South 'cause they had rednecks there.

Now I live in the South and I are one!


One reason for hope is that the leftists are trying to build the new socialist man with a feminist twist.

And since that goes against nature, it must ultimately fail, as did the Soviet version.


Trouble is, how long does it take for "ultimately" to get here?

And how much misery and death must be endured in the interim?


Long live touchy Southerners! Long may they endure!

Just curious- now you are a Southerner. I'm a damned Yankee.

What is someone from L.A.?

 

[Leatherneck]

What is someone from L.A.?

Yes, that is the question, isn't it?

As for Clinton and honor and being southern: think Daddy/woodshed, and lack thereof.

"Damned Yankee" is good. So long as emphasis is on "damned"


In L.A. they have 2 kinds: effete blissninnies -- and -- real men and women looking to escape.


I have declaimed!

What is someone from LA?

Obviously they are from Lower Alabama.

Somewhere around Mobile.

Not a "Damned Yankee", just a Yankee......definitions to follow:

From Websters Dictionary, Southern Edition 1998


Yankee: Noun, One born anywhere outside of the original boundarys of the Confederate States of America (American South) that comes down, visits, goes back home.


Damned Yankee: Noun, As above only stays instead of going back home.

Clinton is easy to understand.

He regularly has the excess testosterone sucked right out of him.

 

[El Tejon]

Wait a tick! I thought that the boys from da Souf were stereotyped as more polite and well-mannered than us pushy, busy Yankees???

Would they not respond, "I say, I say, I say beggin' yer pardon, suhr. As meye Daddee used to say, please be forgivin' me fer not lookin' where you be a-walkin', suhr."

 

[cuchulainn]

They're just jealous.

What gets me is this notion that Southerners are dumb hicks. Nearly all the musical innovation (blues, jazz, rock, bluegrass) and the lion's share of the best literature of America came out of the South.

And maybe that "vanishing honor" thing is why the South is over-represented in the military. Hmm?

I have always heard that a southern gentleman will be polite to you right up to the moment he is ready to kill you.

I noticed evidences of this thesis some fifty years ago, although I could not have analyzed it in any specific manner.

In my second eight weeks of basic training at Ft. Bliss (El Paso), we had some trainees from First Army area--New York and New Jersey. Simplest put, they only travelled in groups when off-base on pass. The southern guys didn't give a darn whether they had buddies along or were alone, and I and others often wandered solo over to Juarez.

The average Reb seems to have an individual self-confidence. His own personal honor demands it. "I'll die before I'll run."

"What do you call someone from LA?"

We call them HIPPIES!



Let me get this straight...state/federal money was used in an experiment to piss people off? Brilliant, just brilliant!

I wonder what gave the experimentors the bright idea that it would be okay to assault someone, and then call them a name? I probably would have excused the push, but throw in the vulgarity, and I would probably have bloodied someone's nose.

And I'm NOT a southerner. I'm from Texas.

People in California have this idea that everything outside of California is rednecks and we're pretty much the only pocket of civilization between here and New England.

I'm thinking that re-instituting duelling would solve the problem of idiots like this...

 

[Kaylee]

Hrmm.. in my experience, gentleman are usually Southern (or Marines, yum. )... but not all Southerners are gentleman, by a long shot.

As to the Al Gore thing.. the same thing that happened to a lot of my father's generation in my family -- you send all your sons up to Yankeeland for their edumaction, don't be surprised if they come home a little...well.... um... "urbanized."

(yes Daddy, if you're reading this I love you to pieces anyway! )

PS.. I kinda doubt this is a state/federal money thing -- sounds more like an undergrad psych "research methods" project.. they can get pretty silly.

You know Patton had an Idea, he would duel against Rommell- tank against tank, and the outcome of the war would be decided.

<raises hand>
Find me a willing Berkley,and I choose 1911's, ...bye bye Berkley.

With all due respect, Kaylee, where do you think that the University got the money to conduct this experiment? Private funds? I think not.

Just another waste of tax money IMHO.

I used to be a Yankee but I got better.
All I need now for authenticity is a pet armadillo.

Does this relate to guns and such in any way?

I think an ultra-liberal (read as "pansy") gets bumped and thinks "what did I do to make that person bump me, I should apologize for doing that." While normal human beings think "why the hell did that person bump me."
