  • Northern Aggression? Funny how the South has completely twisted things around. The Slavers were EXTREMELY aggressive -- for 40 years. They had killed people who were against slavery FOR YEARS in the new states - they had use whipping and jail to puniish people in the SOUTH for speaking or writing against slavery. They threated war many times -- actually carrying it out when Lincoln won. They hung voters, killed soldiers, threatened the capital.

  • Heh. When we lived in Fall River, folks kept informing me I was a southerner. (I'm from Nebraska originally, hvy Iowa/Missouri influence + speach impediment) Then they'd procede to try and scare me with how cold it gets up in the winter up there. A-yuh. Folks from back home move to the Ozarks for wicked winters like that...

    North Carolinians, oddly enough, informed me that I had no accent... news to me...

    I married a Yankee from Middletown, Rhode Island... I say with a smile...

  • Haha, that's classic! Gotta love that one! It's funny how many people think that property lines are just kinda there and are amicable with your neighbors and don't realize that there is an actual tangible line that exist on paper somewhere.

  • i have surveyed in the deep south(georgia) for 8 years now. we had a very interesting southern lady 1 day disputing where we marked the property line. she owned the adjoining lot. she had a brokedown car sitting online which she apparently did not want to move. so she preceded to inform us that the line went,and i quote,"around that car". now i am no surveying savant but i have never seen a line go around anything. surveying-gotta love it.
