Wolferz Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Democrats, Republicans, and Southerners! Situation: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? Democrat Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus. Republican Answer: BANG! Southerner's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click....(sounds of reloading). BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click.
Guest $iLk Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Least you yankees figured one correct stereotype I once met a girl from Chicago I had to convince that just because I lived in the south didn't mean I was a member of the KKK...
Wolferz Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Posted March 20, 2004 Don't let my from fool you silk. Look at the name of my asset instead. I once met a girl in Michigan who was surprised that I was wearing shoes and seemed well educated, when she found out I was from the south.
Guest $iLk Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 Yeah... I enunciate too well for someone from down here... even though I was born and lived here my whole life.

I would bet yhat you still have enough accent or twaing as it is called to alert any yankee of your birth origin. Living here for the past 8 years has been strange for me to say the least. I have been subjected to extreme prejudice from some of the people who were born and raised here in Pa. During my first visit here I was met with ridicule regarding my speech by some of my Fiance's son's friends. I shrugged it off as flattery. instead of splattering a few probosci. What really gets them when I am asked about where I was Born.... My reply is Detroit, Michigan.
