[The first week or so of school a new student from "up North" told me that everyone was so sweet to her. Including a nursing home resident that would always say, "Bless your heart." I was trying so hard to not bust out laughing. Finally I told her that was NOT a compliment.]

Have you warned her about "isn't that nice", too?

Southerners aren't really nicer - they just manage to put you down in a sweet sounding way. Must be all that "sweet tea" we drink.

Yep...they are much nicer. I lived a while in Rhode Island...it was like swimming with great white sharks every day. Give me a "bless your heart" any day over "________ you!!!".

Lets amend that to "people are no nicer down south than anywhere else." There are nice people and awful people where ever you go. I like to think the nice ones outnumber the nasty ones, but I still like my dogs better than most people. At least if they bite me I know I probably had it coming.

Go further north and east in the continent...you'll soon discover they are much, much, much, much nicer the further south you get.

That is too harsh. More like we are sorry for your lot in life

Especially if your lot in life is that you are an idiot.....

That makes life so much harder.

I am from the south and after 25 years of driving a truck EVERY WHERE in this great country of ours the nicest people I have met are up in maine vermont and upstate new york. And lets be fair if I had to deal with big city traffic everyday twice a day and live ten feet from my neighbor, I would be on the evening news f or about a month. Lol

Eggs at markets: $7 dozen and costco : $8 for 18 eggs

The first week or so of school a new student from "up North" told me that everyone was so sweet to her.  Including a nursing home resident that would always say, "Bless your heart."  I was trying so hard to not bust out laughing.  Finally I told her that was NOT a compliment.  


I have a student who is terrified of chicken feet.  So I brought a Silkie to school to show her.  I might just be evil.  If chickens aren't birds what are they?  Related to platypuses? 

My 20 month old tries to get into the laundry room constantly and says, "Awwee!"  When I brought the last box of chick home I told her she couldn't see them because they needed to get hot.  So she started blowing on them like she does her food and saying, "yum, yum."  ha ha  The only chicken nuggets she has ever had were tofu, but whatever!


The short jokes abound around here too.


What does it have to do with foreigners?  Some of us are foreigners and do just fine.

Is it like a neighbor I had in NC who told her daughter that since we were Hispanic and had a rooster we were obviously cock fighting so they stole my rooster to set it free and ended up getting arrested for left, destruction of property, and a hate crime?

This confused me as well... How is raising chickens in the states different than other countries? I've been all over the place. They all cluck and scratch the same no matter what country your in.

Not true. I'm pretty sure that on the other side of the equator they scratch in the opposite direction. :-D

I'm a native New Englander, but an Air Force brat who was raised primarily in the south. So, I guess I'm a bit of a cross-breed. But, the truth of the matter is that people are people where ever you go - it's the culture that varies. Northerners tend to be more forthright, which makes them sound harsh to southerners whose culture dictates that everything be about not hurting anyone's feelings. As with everything, this can go too far sometimes, like at work. I can't get over how, in the south, you have to be so careful about how you talk to fellow workers or employees for fear you'll hurt their feelings. <?> Consequently, southerners sound almost syrupy sweet all the time, which is where they probably got their reputation for being nice and/or hospitable. However, they can also sound phony, of which I've found many of them guilty. They like or dislike people just like anyone else. But, Yankees tend to leave no doubt in your mind about it while, with southerners, you're not quite sure where you stand.

I've found good, kind, generous people everywhere from Maine and NH to right here in N. GA. I have to admit, though, it's mostly been in small towns, where the pace is inherently slower and people are less stressed.

Just my 2¢ worth. Seven

This is absolutely not true. Where on earth did you get that information?
