I've been to Glasgow. Looked like something out of Mad Max, only it was full of really unconvincing crossdressers.

You don't understand our culture, dude, Pendle was like 9/11 for us.

That's what the castle in the most beauteous town of cletheroe is for, to keep an eye on the hill in case [censored] goes down.

Sounds like my kind of place. :goodjob:

Crossdressers and drag queens just make everything more interesting.

I wouldn't really call Virginia South and that woman didn't sound very Southern by her attitude. Places like southern Tennessee and Georgia, that's South. In lived in those areas for a time and they use sir and ma'am as forms of respectful addressing. Kindest, friendliest people I've ever met. Just don't be insulting to them, they take it personally and wouldn't have a second thought on getting in a fistfight with you.

That's one of the things I love about the south, most of the people around here are as nice to anybody as you'll ever find, but at the same time if you cross a line and insult or try to hurt them or somebody they care about they'll jack you up over it.

And calling Coke or Pepsi "pop" or "soda" is just..... wrong. It's all Coke, its just a matter of what kind of Coke it is.

I say we are due for another Civil War :thumbsup:

I didn't say I hated Torontonians, its just a general stereotype. I actually do live in BC and we don't all smoke pot...a lot of us do, but not all. :teehee: :turned: :shifty:

Okay, so just recently I went to Virginia to visit a friend. I only stayed for a two days. When I was there, me, my friend and his wife were at a local restaurant, and when the waitress asked for my confirmation on my order, I replied "Yesmaam". She snapped at me, making a scene in the restaurant, ranting about how I don't need to be giving her any smart-ass remarks, and she doesn't appreciate the attitude. I kind of snapped back, but cooled off quick. My friend then tells me that people find that being called "maam" or "sir" is disrespectful. Why is this?

Also, I noticed that college football isn't near as big of a deal as it is in the South.

Just weird how different the two societies are. The town I was in, all the kids looked very hipster-like and almost stuck in the 70's.

Anyways, just an odd experience. Wanted to know why calling someone "sir" or "maam" is so bad, it is taught as common courtesy in the South.

Groundskeeper Willie (from the Simpsons) once said "“It won't last. Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!"

Grew up in NYC, and then Maine, and lived most of the past four years in South Carolina/Georgia/Texas.

I've found (surprisingly) that the United States is much more culturally homogeneous than I expected; other than the scenery, the brand names and sports allegiances we're all pretty similar.
