Yes, as I'm well aware, but the numerous bible thumpers there certainly don't class as being freewheelin'.

I'm in the "buckle of the bible belt" and we're really liberal, but I reckon that comes from just living in a fairly large city. Go out to the sticks, and you'll find some Dixie Chicks-hatin' folks at every turn.

"You can say what you like about Southerners, but at least they are not uptight."

What the fucking hell are you talking about?

The South is warmer than where I am writing from.

Springs smells (and is) delightful in the South. Nashville smells like fresh laundry.

Except for, like, the Bible Belt, I guess.

I'm talking about manner and mien rather than world view. Any Southerners I've met all seem pretty laid back, unlike most Northerners.

As an aside, I do love how saying you like Southerners is such a red lines crosser for Northerners.

broad generalities are accurate both ways vicar.

So, so true.

"As an aside, I do love how saying you like Southerners is such a red lines crosser for Northerners."

Not a line crossing thing for most people I know, more just a matter of thinking that anyone who would make a generality about an entire region's people (aka "they're all likeable", "they're all laid-back", etc) doesn't really know much about that place or those people.

Ooh! I've never made it there, but I hear it's fun.

It's weirder than one would think, and probably far more gay than most of its punters realize.

Bitchin roller coasters, too
