On Yankees...
In the South live Southrons. Any yankee, from anywhere, if it wants to live in the South, to work and eat in the South, should speak southron, and should respect Southron Culture. If they prefer yankee culture, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the culture. The South does not need yankees. Yankees need The South, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our culture to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'hillbilly'. We better learn from the suicides of New York, Detroit, Chicago and Boston, if we are to survive as a culture. The Southron customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of yankees. When this honorable population thinks of accepting new traditions, it should have in mind the cultural interest first, observing that the yankees are not Southrons.

ahhh... That's better.
Agreed. how does one go about applying for assylum in the south?
I have southern ancestory on my mom's side
Like you play on that word Cheddarman.
Thanks for fixing that problem Nate. This post explains why I consider myself a copperhead in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and why I would never consider living in the NE or some the Great Lakes region.
It gives me great comfort to know that there are some areas of the Country where there are still things like manners and decency.
I think Southron's have a great way to live and all, but what is up with all the snarls from a little bit of snow? I thought transplanted Californians were bad to watch, but Atlanta residents have been head shaking to watch.
Couple things... if you haven't lived down here.. you simply cannot possibly understand.
1) This snow isn't like your snow. By that I mean... it isn't snow. Its ice. everywhere.
2) You know how your snow turns to concrete on your driveway if you wait to long to shovel it? Our snow is like that when it hits the ground.
3) You know that nasty black ice stuff? yeah... its that. everywhere.
4) Shutting everything down is as much a cultural choice as an economics one. When you see shit like ATL... well that's what happens when you give a dumbass yankee power and he decides the South has been doing it wrong.
Beretta building plant in Tennessee
"The other site finalists were Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia."
Seeing a pattern there?
Need to rub this in the faces of our Colorado legislators. They could have been in the running, if not for their assinine gun laws passed last year.
Plumbers are going to busy when ya'll thaw out.
Wonder how much of the atl problem was caused by a retarted govt response to the problem.
...set up command post...stop all rational initatives by citizens to solve problem ...cry for bigger govt to fix problem
The whole problem in ATL was caused by government.
1) The government decided to not pretreat the roads.
2) The government decided to send the kids to school.
3) clusterfuck.
I thought it was pretty much like that. ATL govt appears to have totally ignored the issue, and they were warned in plenty of time.
And please don't tell me that I don't know the difference between ice and snow Nate. We have had our share of both in the past. 5 years ago, we had a massive ice storm that made some areas in town look like a nuclear testing ground.
But even I was able to find out those guys were going to get some icy snow mix.
They did not even PRETREAT? Somebody needs to be in some big legal trouble in ATL. The libs in my local govt will pretreat for slick roads when the foggy nights fall below 35degrees.
What is really embarrassing for ATL govt is the comparison between the current situation and the TV show The Walking Dead. They made themselves into total fools in front of the entire nation. But then, that is Atlanta. I have a lot of trouble thinking of them as Southron, unlike Alabama, etc.
I'm not saying you don't know the difference between ice and snow. I'm counting on you knowing that difference.
My point is... we don't get snow like y'all get snow.
We have "ice events".
Nate, if you were governor, that ice would decide it knows what is good for it, and it better fall somplace else up north in yankee land
I was im Bama a few years back and a storm was coming. People were going into panic mode, and we couldn't figure out why. We were told, basically, what Nate has said. ICE.
They also told us (and I don't know if this is true, but it is what they told us), because there is less rainfall in the south, the tree roots go more outward from the tree closer to the surface, than downward onto the earth, to collect more moisture. This means that the trees are less anchored, and more prone to falling with the weight of ice on them - knocking out power lines, blocking roads, etc.
And yes, ice sucks.

Afterthought/ATF Thursday -
After I plowed snow - freaking AGAIN
A: Natural Light (sue me, I'm cheap) and a couple sips of Knob Creek.
T: Alec Bradley Black Market - decent, nothing to write home about.
F: Colt Gold Cup Series 80 Stainless (Merry Christmas to me!).

No. We get ice storms. We get pogonip that makes your "ice storms" look like a genital spring thaw. We have black ice. We have snow drifts that are taller than the roof of the plow trucks. Not all the time but it happens.
The difference is we drive in it every year. We know how to recover from skids on frozen roads. Sometimes when its extra bad, i.e. beyond our ability to drive in it, we stay at home by the fire. Chalk up 95% of those SUV wrecks in Atlanta to the real cause of the problem, the nut behind the wheel. "It's OK I got 4 wheel drive I can drive as fast as I want". 4 wheel drive don't help you stop on slick roads.
Don't start on "I don't know". I was born in AR lived in the south and have driven in southern "snowstorms". I agree with the rest of the post. People shouldn't move to another part of the country because its better and the go and try to change it. This is especially true of Californians. People form the NE US shouldn't be allowed to move anyplace else in the country, even for a visit. That includes the state of Illinois.
"The difference is we drive in it every year. We know how to recover from skids on frozen roads. "
Hoss black ice is all we get.
the thing is... these ice storms are not THAT uncommon down here... for the most part we do what y'all do. We stay home.
The trouble is when some idiot decides all the kids need to go to school... then the ice comes... and they can't get them home. So staying home is no longer an option.
See ATL, Birmingham, and Nashville in 2005 for details.

We have Ice in North TX more than we have snow, simply because the path of the low pressure traveling over us instead of south of us. But you cannot drive in it even with a 4WD unless you are going back roads to a store or gas station. If you get on the interstate the trucks pile up (18 wheelers) and their is no way around now that they put them damn cable barriers on the sides of the interstate. You are f**ked. Your advice about traveling is not only good when this happens but of great import.
Then in south TX they actually have many houses with their plumbing in the attic and if it gets down below 25 you are screwed.
People are not prepared for it in south TX and I doubt they are in AL or GA.
So,
If i like both kinds of music, (i.e. country AND western), think elvis should have stuck to singing gospel music,, beleive Stonewall Jackson was the Greatest military leader in U.S. history (though Robert E. Lee is not too far behind in second),built a demolition derby car and drove it in a derby, wanna tell washington D.C. to kiss my arrse and fly a confederate battle flag at my inner city domicile, own several guns and bibles, get goose bumps then a tear in my eye when i hear "Dixie" on bag pipies help my assylum case or not?
Illinois is bad. My folks came up here in the 30s from Kenticky for work and didn't leave. But anything south of I 80 (except college towns) is populated by mostly folks who came here on the Cumberland trail. We like guns, hate Chicagoans and battle (futiley) against them.
N5 the Copperhead
Birmingham had a massive Suckage event this week with the ice, but I walked into the Publix, and was talking to people how had been there, working, from 7am Tuesday (this was Wednesday at about 9am) and there was no difference in how they treated people. Nice. Polite.
I like it here. Hell of a lot better than Detroit.
I've had more than a few people look at me and say "You're gonna like it down here". And, we do.
I didn't know you were in Birmingham Red.
Take a day and go hit the Barber Motorsports Museum.
And I do mean... a day. The whole day.
