<p>Could you stop ruining my didactic posts?</p>
<p>I do think it's very interesting.</p>
<p>no (ten chars)</p>
<p>I honestly do.</p>
<p>I live in the South (born and raised in Georgia) but I really don't consider myself southern, as my parents are more Yankees - my mother's from Queens, and I'll be at NYU in the fall. Anyway, some of you act like as soon as you cross the Mason Dixon line you're going to have a bunch of men in KKK garb running at you and crosses burning everywhere. </p>
<p>Will you notice you're in the South? Absolutely. Are there hicks? Definitely. Are there intelligent people? Of course. Is there racism? Yes. Have I ever seen it? No.<br>
It's a normal place. It's uber-conservative in the South, and if you're in the Bible Belt, well, you're in the Bible Belt. Try not to drink alcohol on Sunday and try not to mention to school officials you'd like to start a Gay/Straight Alliance. Yes, some of that really, really bothers me, but I'm sure New York and other areas have just the same thing.</p>
<p>THEY COULD NOT PAY ME ENOUGH to live in the south. It's WAY too conservative. And on top of that, my favorite city (as well as my signature city) is New York, hence my dream school is NYU Stern and therefore I'm applying ED to NYU Stern.</p>
<p>actually, it wouldn't be the conservativity, backwardness, or heat of the south that would drive me nuts.</p>
<p>it would be the constant blabber of southern accented people.
i can't stand it for long periods of time.</p>
<p>I rather live in someplace in between, say Va or Ga than either extremes.</p>
<p>The American flag used to be a bunch of white stars on a blue rectangle surrounded by red and white lines.</p>
<p>If US Grant and Robert Lee were to fight and demonstrate their skills, Lee would destroy Grant hands down and have Grant running to his mommy. Grant was not that great of a general, only a drunkard and a fool.</p>
<p>I like Robert E Lee. He seemed like a good person with morals, honesty, and courage. Grant smoked cigars though.. :)</p>
<p>You're absolutely right, W1cked! In fact, many military academies and institutes today still study and use Lee's military tactics. His tactics were brilliant.</p>
<p>Final score:
North 1
South 0</p>
<p>lol, heybucs. </p>
<p>It's great to analyze history and all, but we have to remember, Justinian, history isn't made up of "what if"s but what happened. And what happened is that the North defeated the South. I think that the South had a lot of great men who were simply fighting for their way of life, and, if the issue of slavery was not involved and they had won the war, history today would be praising the South for its heroism in the light of adversity, as history usually does with underdogs. However, slavery was involved and the South did end up losing, which resulted in the repercussions on Southern image that we see today.</p>
<p>Andrew Johnson was a ****head</p>
<p>Yea. Jackson was a cool cat though.</p>
<p>heybucs: That is as tasteless as "Germany 1 Jews 0", *******.</p>
<p>I would contend that my comment was not nearly as tasteless, but I don't feel like making the argument now.</p>
<p>I agree, there's no comparison.</p>
<p>It was not as tasteless, you are correct. I exaggerated. However, I hate it when people resort to "The North kicked the South's ass, get over it" - injustices should not be forgotten or celebrated. The North's political tactics were bad enough, but the military tactics that were employed, especially by General Sherman, are enough that the War Between the States should be looked back upon with shame, not with jubilation.</p>
