Their recaptcha script is FUBAR. I gave up dancing with it after trying half-a-dozen times.No comments yet......interesting.
Please sir. Just a little piece of information and advice.Wow, that's about as stupid as it gets, not only does this portray us as nuts, it also seems to suggest that we are all rednecks.
I mean, I AM a redneck, but most of the people here in Utah that OC are not rednecks.
SNIP The term "redneck" carries a similar meaning when referencing a white as does the term "nigger" when referring to a black. Both can be quite derogatory and demeaning. Just thought you might like to know.
Believe me, I am not the sensitive PC type by any stretch of the imagination. I suppose what gets me the most is how it is perfectly Ok to call a white person a redneck but there will be hell to pay if you call a black person a nigger.SouthernBoy wrote:SNIP The term "redneck" carries a similar meaning when referencing a white as does the term "nigger" when referring to a black.

De-fang it by smiling and being proud.
Me, I'm not really a redneck in the classic sense. But I think many, many people fit the Jeff Foxworthy definition: "A glorious absence of sophistication."
Remember Abe Lincoln's words, "[God plainly likes homely people. That's why he made so many of them.]"
In the spiritual sense, psuedo-sophisticates reveal their lack of sophistication by turning up their nose at the unsophisticated. If they were truly sophisticated they would understand that not everybody is, and it wouldn't bother them, and it wouldn't not bother them. They just wouldn't care. And they wouldn't use it to demean others.
Just like the term "nigger" it depends upon how it's used and by whom. Funny how both of these terms got to where they are today and I know how that occurred.I actually feel that redneck is not a derogatory term. It has been used in that sense, but i don't take it that way.
If you want to be technical, Cowboy would be the proper word for what I am, but that's another thing in and of itself.
I personally have had several non operational vehicles in my yard, and you never know what kind of car part you may destroy the lawn mower on.
I don't ever take the term redneck, or even cowboy in a negative manner, even when that is how it was intended.
Oh, and nothing pisses off a rude person more then when you sincerely appreciate the derogatory comment they just made.
It's like laughing at a seriously pissed off person, they really hate that.
ETA: I think that the really derogatory term would be White trash.
Too many squirrels in charge. But then, that's being unkind to squirrels.SNIP...and I know how that occurred.
I just tell them to get the hell out of my trailer park. Or else, I'll get my wife.SNIP I think that the really derogatory term would be White trash.
Even squirrels are smart enough to recognize the importance of a firearm and defense!!SNIP If you notice in the cartoon they are heading toward the tree full of nuts with the only effective protection they could think of.
